The memorial to President John F. Kennedy is shaped as the stump of a fallen tree, symbolizing a life cut short. Surrounding it are acres of pristine forest, planted long ago in his honor, with other adjoining acreage for his brother Robert, and still another for his son John, Jr.
The Kennedy Memorial is built on a tall plateau overlooking a lush valley so stunning it evokes images of Eden. On a clear day one can gaze all the way to the distant sea.
It is the largest memorial for the slain American president beyond the borders of the United States.
The 9/11 Living Memorial is shaped as a large bronze flag fluttering like a flame to symbolize the demise of the Twin Towers. Its base is made from the steel of the Towers. The names of all the victims of 9/11 are inscribed in the plaza surrounding the monument.
It is the largest 9/11 memorial beyond the borders of the United States.
Both memorials are in Jerusalem. Not London. Not Rome. Not Paris. Jerusalem, Israel.
No one from America asked or expected the Jews of Israel to build these memorials. But build them they did.
By a people and city that have always shared a sincere affection for the American nation, with a unique historical bond from the same Bible that inspired our ancestors to these shores to build a City on a Hill. A New Jerusalem.

9/11 living memorial in Israel
Moving our Embassy to Jerusalem is the right thing to do
I’m immersed in relocation while debating with a friend.
If anyone has a handful of ready-links demonstrating left hypocrisy on Jerusalem (including prior Presidents’ statements to do that which Trump finally did), I would be most-appreciative to have those posted here.
Nice article. One really has to spend time in both Israel and in some of the Moslem countries over here to see and feel the stark difference in the people and culture. God does bless Israel.
Indeed it is. May God continue to bless America & Israel.
‘REMINDER: Six months ago the Senate unanimously voted to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Even Bernie, Schumer, and Pocahontas voted yes!’

They were voting out of both sides of their mouths...
I have a photo of my father planting a tree in Israel in 1966. My cousin who I never met died in the Yom Kippur War as a tank commander. My paternal grandparents and an aunt perished in Poland in WWII. This is for all them too. I wish my father were alive to see it.
‘The Senate voted 90-0 on a resolution marking the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem’s reunification. The measure includes language that “calls upon the president and all United States officials to abide by” a 1995 law that urged then-President Bill Clinton to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.’

Genesis 12
2And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 3And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Racking my brain, but what did JFK ever overtly do for Israel?
Israel might have fallen as a nation in the 1973 Yom Kippur War if President Richard Nixon had not ordered a massive military airlift which enabled the IDF to counterattack & defeat the Egyptian army.
So where’s his memorial?
Amen.
If Jerusalem was the ONLY issue with which President Trump and I were in agreement, it would be enough.
(But, of course, we are in agreement about nearly EVERYTHING!)
bump for Jerusalem
