Each of us has family and/or friends who died in service to our country. Please take a moment to honor their memory.
There is a National call to pause today @3pm and reflect on these sacrifices, if you are a praying man then please do and give God thanks 🙏
Went to National Cemetery in Chattanooga today to visit my dad's grave. I also have an uncle, two aunts, grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandfather buried there.
Every grave had a flag in front of the gravestone. It really was moving and a beautiful day.
Sorry for the late reply, but it's a day that holds deep meaning for me as I remember the incredible family members and friends I've lost who served our country. I'll never forget the stories my grandpa told me about his time in the military, or the unwavering dedication my best friend showed in defending our freedom. Their selflessness and love for their country leave a lasting imprint on my heart. Also, I've thought that choosing a unique monument design has been a beautiful way to honor their memory. One option that I've found particularly meaningful is a granite base for bronze marker. It adds a touch of elegance and permanence while allowing for customization that truly captures the essence of the person I'm remembering.
Memories of my dad - a P-52 pilot who spent 14 months as a POW in Germany. I was named after his best friend, a pilot who never made it back. My prayers to all who have hadl loved ones who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.
