The Shootings In Chattanooga Happened One Week Ago Today

We remember these men, we remember that day, we thank them for their service. Grace and peace to my home of Chattanooga, TN as we look back to one week ago. It is all hard to believe.

The Scene Of A Violent Tragedy, The Scene Of A New day

This the scene of one of the shootings of Thursday, July 16, 2015 in Chattanooga, TN. The military recruiting center where the shootings began is located here. A makeshift memorial has been set up in front of this office complex that has been a place where the community has come to pay their respects to the four Marines and one Sailor who lost their lives at a Naval Reserve Center. Media outlets have been broadcasting from here for almost a week sharing the story of the act of terror but most importantly how our community has responded. It is a place where a crime took place and now it is where people are finding a new day, hope and healing.

These are the United States Marines who were killed in Chattanooga, TN yesterday. Thomas Sullivan, Skip Wells, Carson Holmquist, and David Wyatt gave their lives to the service of their country. Semper Fi to these men and to all Marines past, present and future.
