The “Fireman’s Prayer Anthem” will be the 1st Anthem for American Firefighter’s in the History of America. It was composed by Charles-Henri Avelange and recording took place at The Sony Pictures Studio, Barbara Streisand Scoring Stage, on May 7, 2026. The Athem will be presented at our upcoming 9/11 Remembrance Event at the Everett Civic Auditorium, 2415 Colby, Everett, WA. 9201 on 9-11-26 at 7pm.

The Background:

In August of 1917, at the Hartley Mansion in Everett, Roland Hartley, clearly expressed, through his own hand-written note, that he had probably inspired the spirit of Freedom within his 2 sons and family.

In that single month, August of 1917, Roland Hartley, a 53 yo immigrant, a very successful businessman, a past Everett Mayor and a future 2 Term Governor of Washington State enlisted with the Washington National Guard as a Private. And in that same month each of his two sons were clearly committed to US Army fighting in Europe for American Freedom.

And, in this same way, the Spirit of Freedom has been spread through millions of American Families facing the American Revolutionary War of 1775, WWI, WWII and other conflicts over the past 250 years.

And within each family, the dialogue of Monumental Talks identifies the true American as one who understands that American Dreams and American Freedom are only made possible through willingness to Pay the Cost of Freedom.

The Message:

• The Dialogue of Monumental Talks, “The Visible and Invisible Cost of Freedom” is a Message that Extends beyond Everett.
• It is a Timeless message that has arisen for 250 years within many Communities, Towns and throughout our Nation. 
• And it is a Message not focused upon –

• • Politics
  • Religion
  • Ethnicity

Therefore:

It was ultimately the Dialogue of Monumental Talks from which the motivation arose within American families to help defeat the forces that attacked our American Freedom on 9/11.
