The Route 91 remembrance events commenced at sunrise in Las Vegas on Friday at the Clark County Government Center. Sheriff Joe Lombardo officiated the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we gather to remember the events of 1 October, let\u2019s remember back to the days after 1 October when we all became Vegas Strong. Those words were not just part of slogan in those days and weeks following the shooting, we became one as a community,\u201d said Lombardo to the crowd. \u201cWe focused on helping each other through a tragedy that at that time seemed almost unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick remarked how even though it has now been four years since the community endured that tragic day, it doesn\u2019t make it any easier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs time marches on, it won\u2019t be any less important. It will become part of our history, part of what we can learn from and we will constantly be continuing to heal those folks that were impacted on that day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, I ordered the flags to be lowered to half-staff in honor &amp; remembrance of the lives lost in the tragic shooting that occurred in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YiX51JPRf8\">pic.twitter.com\/YiX51JPRf8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Governor Sisolak (@GovSisolak) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovSisolak\/status\/1443719168210059266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Commissioner Kirkpatrick announced that MGM has donated the land where the Route 91 Festival was held on which to build the October 1 Memorial.<\/p>\n<p>Dee Ann Hyatt attended the concert with six family members that night. Her brother, Kurt Von Tillow, was killed in the massacre. She said in the last four years, she\u2019s learned some things just can\u2019t be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll you can do is be there for each other, listen, cry, hug, love and support one another. It\u2019s hard to understand any person no matter how close they are to you,\u201d said Hyatt. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to understand any person, what they go through, and it reminds you that you need to be patient and loving and caring to everyone you meet because you don\u2019t know what they are going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outpouring of support from perfect strangers from all across the country who reached out to her family has made her realize the good in people and that was life-changing. She concluded by quoting a country song by Old Dominion, saying \u201clife is short, so make it sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A number of blood drives and commemoration gatherings are slated to be held in and around Las Vegas and Southern California throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/marine-being-investigated-for-speaking-at-save-america-rally\/\">Marine Being Investigated For Speaking At Save America Rally<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAS VEGAS, NV \u2013 OCTOBER 8: Mourners hold their candles in the air during a moment of silence during a vigil to mark one week since the mass shooting at &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-836028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=836028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=836028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=836028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=836028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
