A large crowd leaves the Memorial Day program Monday at the Chattanooga National Cemetery.
Catherine Smith walks through a row of American veterans Monday at Chattanooga National Cemetery. “I have my father, uncles and church members here in this place,” Smith said.Cars snaked in like a funeral procession, the line curved all the way around the cemetery’s gates. One right after the other, many with bumper stickers apt for the occasion.
“Team USA”
“POW-MIA”
“God Bless America”
Hundreds made their way over the neatly manicured lawns of Chattanooga National Cemetery, dotted with flowers of pink, blue, red and yellow. On Memorial Day, the park was filled with more Old Glory than a person could count.
