17th Anniversary of 9-11...
On the 17th Anniversary of 9-11, we continue prayers for a path to peace. (Picture above - TishTrek and husband Harry @ the podium inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City). It was the privilege of a lifetime for us to be with leaders from around the world on a night when honoring excellence in writing and reporting was the common language uniting all of us. As one of the proud sponsors of the Annual U.N. Correspondents' Dinner, we enjoyed honoring excellence in writing and communications by helping to fund scholarships for international university students who had the courage & talent to tackle some of the difficult issues of our time. Through their magnificent words, they successfully created content that helped readers see through the lens of their research & life experiences. These students inspired all of us. I have confidence the next generation will pick up where we leave off.

USS Michael P. Murphy: Our Medal of Honor Recipient

A Tribute to Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy: With tears in my eyes from my 36th Floor Watch Tower, I see the glistening & formidable USS Michael Murphy in a distance! Today our nation salutes 'America's 25-year old son & hero' on the NYC-side of the Hudson River as we commission the last DD261 Class guided-missile destroyer bearing Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy's name. With utmost reverence, we honor courage & valor of the highest caliber as the mirrored reflections emitted from this magnificent vessel docked @ Pier 88 transform my beautiful river into an incredible kaleidoscope where the light of sons who give all so others may live shines bright.
