Photo by Greg Bryan Christina Green’s parents, Roxanna and John, and her brother, Dallas, at her funeral service. Dear parents, Like so many Americans all across the country, Barack and I were shocked and heartbroken by the horrific act of violence committed in Arizona this past weekend. Yesterday, we had the chance to attend a memorial service and meet with some of the families of those who lost their lives, and both of us were deeply moved by their strength and resilience in the face of such unspeakable tragedy.

Those who went down and who reached them swore that they were taller than the great tower of Seville." - Pedro de Casteneda, notes from the Coronado Expedition "I have heard rumors of visitors who were disappointed. The same people will be disappointed at the Day of Judgment. In fact, the Grand Canyon is a sort of landscape Day of Judgment. It is not a show place, a beauty spot, but a revelation" - J. B.
