Proud to be an American
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all, By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall; In so righteous a cause let us hope to succeed, For heaven approves of each generous deed.

Memorial Day – Remembering the Ultimate Sacrifice
Five of Chattanooga’s own gave their lives last year for their country and our community. Memorial Day is a time to recognize those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

The visit instilled us with a sense of patriotism that is sometimes hard to come by in these times. We enjoy looking at historical monuments and documents that have been untainted by […]
