Next Wednesday, July 22nd, after our High School Summer League basketball games at King Street Park—a league Oliver was a proud participant in—we will be spending the rest of the evening celebrating Oliver at the place he loved. 🏀✨

Oliver loved spending his days playing basketball with his friends at King Street Park. We want to gather to honor his life, so please come join us and share your favorite memories of Oliver.

Come as you are to shoot some hoops, hang out, and remember him together.

📍 Where: King Street Memorial Park

⏰ When: Wednesday, July 22nd from 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM (right after the summer league games)

🧺 What to bring: A blanket/something soft to sit on, a candle or lantern to light up the park, and a story about him you’d like to share.

There will be a snack stand and the C&C Ice Cream Truck on-site, with proceeds from the night going directly to the scholarship fund in Oliver’s name. 🍦❤️

Held with love, for Oliver—and for everyone who misses him. Please share and help us spread the word!

Jan 6 memorial plaque finally placed to honor law enforcement efforts

via the Washington Post:

"Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police installed in Capitol at 4 AM"

"The police officers were taunted and beaten. Some were knocked unconscious and dragged down stone steps, tear gas stinging their throats, to chants of “U.S.A! U.S.A!” on Jan. 6, 2021, as hundreds, then thousands, swarmed the citadel of American democracy.

Now, more than five years later, and three years since Congress ignored its own deadline to install it, a memorial plaque recognizing the service of law enforcement that day is finally on display in the very building they defended from a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters intent on overturning his 2020 election loss.

In the predawn hours Saturday, around 4 a.m., staff with the Architect of the Capitol bolted the bronze plaque to a granite wall near an entrance on the west front, close to where the armed crowd had amassed and scaled scaffolding set up for the inauguration. They wheeled the plaque, stored in plywood, across the stone basement floor and guided it through the double doors. They raised the tribute with a jack table and began fixing it in place, the clang of their tools ringing out through otherwise empty hallways."
