Shaheen Presents Stone on Behalf of President Biden at the Cathedral of the Pines Peace Memorial

(Rindge, NH) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) delivered remarks and read a letter from President Joe Biden before presenting a stone from the President’s home state of Delaware to the Cathedral of the Pines. The Cathedral of the Pines is an interfaith memorial dedicated to the memory and honor of all Americans who serve the nation in search of peace. Photos from today’s event can be found here.

“Including stones representing nearly every president going back to Harry Truman, the Cathedral of the Pines’ Altar of the Nation is a powerful memorial to those who have died fighting for peace,” said Senator Shaheen. “Today in Rindge, I was delighted to help keep this special tradition going by presenting a stone on behalf of President Biden from his home state of Delaware.”

In May of 2016, Shaheen presented a stone from Pearl Harbor on behalf of former President Barack Obama to the memorial. It is a longstanding tradition for stones to be placed in the Altar of the Nation, a Congressionally recognized memorial to all American war dead, which includes stones from nearly every president going back to Harry Truman.
