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.

Respect must go to those who earn it... or it means nothing!

Here's what you couldn't hear while New York's so-called leaders were busy listening to themselves talk... The beautiful and massive show of respect for fallen Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos would not have meant anything at either funeral if thousands in law enforcement had not turned their backs on Mayor DeBlasio. Honor and respect must be reserved for men and women who earn it; otherwise it means absolutely nothing. It was wrong for Commissioner Bratton to demand the same 'level of respect' for a mayor who helped fan-the-flames of hatred which inspired the targeting of police officers across our nation in the first place. Bratton's admonishment of the NYPD & DeBlasio's whiny petulance were the only acts of disrespect as far as the eye could see. With Utmost Respect to the NYPD, TishTrek
