1 OCTOBER — WE REMEMBER 💙
Nine years ago, our Las Vegas community experienced a night that none of us will ever forget.
In the midst of unimaginable chaos, first responders and ordinary citizens did extraordinary things. While thousands were desperately trying to escape the danger, so many ran toward it—law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, medical professionals, off-duty first responders, and complete strangers who refused to leave others behind.
There were incredible acts of courage, sacrifice, compassion, and humanity that night.
But the impact of 1 October did not end when the sirens stopped.
Families went home without someone they loved. Survivors carried wounds—both seen and unseen. First responders carried home the weight of what they witnessed and experienced, and their spouses and families walked alongside them through the aftermath.
For our law enforcement family, we especially remember Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Charleston Hartfield, who was off duty attending the concert that night and was among the 60 precious lives lost. Officer Hartfield was a husband, father, military veteran, police officer, friend, and brother in blue. His loss was felt deeply throughout our entire law enforcement community, and today we remember and honor him and continue to hold his family close to our hearts. 💙
For so many, anniversaries like today bring memories back in ways others may never fully understand.
Today, we remember the 60 lives lost. We remember their families. We remember the survivors. We remember every first responder who answered the call that night and every spouse and family member who stood beside them through the days, months, and years that followed.
And we are thankful for the countless people God has used since that night to bring healing, encouragement, comfort, and hope to those whose lives were forever changed.
May we continue to pray for them, honor them, and never forget.
Vegas Strong. Always. 💙
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
