This time, we must actually do something. For God’s sake, do something.Īfter Columbine, after Sandy Hook, after Charleston, after Orlando, after Las Vegas, after Parkland, nothing has been done. And they had one message for all of us: Do something. We stood at such a place just 12 days before, across from a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, memorializing 10 fellow Americans - a spouse, a parent, a grandparent, a sibling - gone forever.Īt both places, we spent hours with hundreds of family members who were broken and whose lives will never be the same. Standing there in that small town, like so many other communities across America, I couldn’t help but think there are too many other schools, too many other everyday places that have become killing fields, battlefields here in America. Innocent victims, murdered in a classroom that had been turned into a killing field. And nearby, a photo of each victim that Jill and I reached out to touch. In front of Robb Elementary School, we stood before 21 crosses for 19 third and fourth graders and two teachers. The day before, we visited Uvalde - Uvalde, Texas. THE PRESIDENT: On Memorial Day this past Monday, Jill and I visited Arlington National Cemetery.Īs we entered those hallowed grounds, we saw rows and rows of crosses among the rows of headstones, with other emblems of belief, honoring those who paid the ultimate price on battlefields around the world.
