Today, we pause to say thank you to every veteran who has served with courage, honor, and sacrifice.

Your strength and selflessness inspire the very core of what advocacy means: showing up, protecting others, and leading with heart.

A special thank you to Chris Leinweber, Melissa’s husband, and to all who have worn the uniform; we honor you today.

On November 10, 1988, 14 year old Brandy Hutchins was dropped off at an abandoned house in Coal Hill, Arkansas, for a party but never returned home. Two days later, she was found in a root cellar, the victim of a close-range shooting. More than three decades later, her case remains unsolved, and her family continues their fight for justice.

Tonight we light this candle in remembrance of Brandy and in support of her family.

🕯️ Tonight, we joined family, friends, and community members in remembering Bryan “Vladek” Hasel . Surrounded by candlelight, love, and remembrance, it was clear how deeply Bryan’s presence continues to be felt.

Vigils like this are more than moments of mourning they are acts of unity and purpose. Each story shared tonight is a reminder of Bryan’s impact and a call to keep seeking truth, justice, and change in his name.

We stand with those who loved him and those still fighting for answers. 💛

April Kelly Reed disappeared from Del City, Oklahoma in 2001 under mysterious circumstances. Raised amidst familial instability and trauma, April endured significant hardships, including being traded for a vehicle as a child and navigating life with schizophrenia. Her sister Kelsey, who uncovered April’s disappearance later in life through a Facebook post, is tirelessly seeking answers.

Kelsey's search has revealed conflicting reports, family secrets, and possible foul play. Despite a prolonged lack of evidence and official missteps, recent developments, including DNA contributions, give hope for breakthroughs in the case.
