Memorial Day Ceremony at the Spring Hill Senior Center

 Yesterday’s Memorial Day Ceremony was absolutely wonderful.  Its display of patriotism, and all those things we as Americans cherish, began with an invocation given by a DAR chaplain Beth Sims and followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.  By the way, I think every student in every classroom across America should recite the Pledge every morning!

Many of Tennessee’s dignitaries graced our ceremony… Marsha Blackburn (US Senator), Scott Cepicky (TN State Representative), Joey Hensley (TN State Senator) and Jim Hagaman (Spring Hill TN Mayor).  Following the dignitaries’s speeches, the veterans from each branch of the service were asked to stand.  I was moved my the number of both women and men who stood to attention. 

Ending the program were Brenda Emery who sang beautifully are favorited songs and Beth Sims with the closing prayer.  It was truly a remarkable event.  God Bless America🇺🇸
