1995- John Denver - Alaska speech at Choices

At the conclusion to John's opening speech at the Choices Symposium of 1995, John read his statement regarding Alaska: A Challenge For Democracy.
*There's a bit of surprise at the end of the video that's worth waiting for as Kenny Loggins honors John regarding a comment he made during the speech. Worth the watch.*

JOHN'S VOICE WILL ALWAYS ECHO THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS.....HE'S STILL WITH US.....🙏🏻

[@CorinneHSmith]

I was sitting in the audience for this talk. Thanks, John!

❤ beautiful and stunning. Again I could listen to JD forever! Thanks for sharing! I love the tribute at the end (but lost respect when last month Kenny Loggins repeated that his fave memory of We are the world was the joke made about JD during the recording. Sad😢)

it's a shame that we have so few public voices that would continue John's unselfish desires to uplift us all and protect the planet

💔💖How heartbroken would John have been to see the way out world is finding new ways in self-destruction. Oil leases in the Arctic. His good work done by visiting Russia and China now a distant hope. 💔Such heart break that makes us wonder if it is a blessing John did not have to see the world his and our children are experiencing today. 💯🌠

My thoughts exactly. His passing was a great loss to the world, but a blessing to him and his heart. How heartbreaking it is to witness the backward direction we have been moving in conservation and protection of our planet.

[@sketchley80]

True. He would be gutted. However, I firmly believe had he lived... He would have continued his activism and would have "been heard"!

[@sharonallison9922]

HES STILL HERE......❤
