symbolism behind our name
What is a Runestone?
Runestones are celebrated historical artifacts and majestic markers from the Viking Age. Often serving as memorials, they honor individuals and narrate tales of personal valor, significant achievements, and pivotal events that shaped their communities with their runic inscriptions, which are written in ancient runic alphabets used by Germanic peoples. Beyond their historical value, runestones stand as enduring symbols of remembrance, resilience, and the timeless human desire to connect with future generations.
Why are we "Runestone Ranch"?
We believe that the symbolism of runestones profoundly resonates with the spirit of first responders, whom we seek to honor for their bravery and service. Like runestones that have stood as serene guardians of history, first responders are the guardians of our present, representing endurance and resilience. Their tales of valor and significant achievements underscore their crucial roles in our communities. This parallel between the enduring legacy of runestones and the unwavering commitment of first responders serves as a tribute to their essential role, indispensable contributions, and the profound impact they have on our society.
