This upcoming weekend marks the opportunity for us to observe the Memorial Day holiday. Americans across the country will gather, not only to enjoy time with family and friends, but also to remember the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives defending our great nation. To honor these heroes, the Coalition wishes to share the following Memorial Day prayer of remembrence:
We Remember
We remember the many brave men and women
who have given their lives
through the history of our country
to protect us from danger and harm
We remember all those who sustained injury
in mind and/or body in the course of their service
We salute all those who served in the military.

These pictures were taken on Memorial Day in 2016 at the Chattanooga National Cemetery while I was on the way to pick up my daughter from the University of Alabama.
As our nation spends valuable time with loved ones this weekend, we hope all have an opportunity to set aside a quiet moment to honor and remember those fallen Americans who laid down their lives protecting our freedom.
From all of us at the Coalition, we wish you and your families a safe Memorial Day weekend.
