On Thursday, we had the honor of placing a POW/MIA display inside the South Tower of Baptist Health in recognition of POW/MIA Day. Each item on the table carries a significant meaning and serves as a reminder of those who are still missing and the families who continue to wait.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞: Shows that our concern for the missing is never-ending.
𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡: Represents the purity of their response to the country’s call to arms.
𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫: Depicts an unknown face representing all who are not here.
𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬: Reminds us they cannot join in a toast.
𝐒𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧: Symbolizes their bitter fate.
𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭: Represents the tears of waiting families.
𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞: Honors the families and loved ones keeping faith.
𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐨𝐧: Symbolizes determination and hope for their return.
𝐋𝐢𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞: Reflects the light of hope to illuminate their way home.
𝐁𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡: Represents strength and faith in a higher power.

Please join us at the Alabama National Cemetery Main Flagpole Assembly Area for a brief ceremony beginning at 4:20 p.m. The program will open with a flyover and include an invocation and wreath laying by two family members.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who were prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action. We will never forget their sacrifice, their courage, or the families who continue to wait.

You are not forgotten. 🇺🇸🕊️

On this day 25 years ago, we remember the 2,977 men and women who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

We remember not only those who were in the buildings, but also the brave firefighters, police officers, medical first responders, search-and-rescue dogs, military personnel, construction and heavy-equipment operators, and countless volunteers who gave their time and strength to the rescue and recovery efforts.

May today be a day we never let pass without taking a moment of silence to honor and remember those who lost their lives, those who sacrificed everything, and the heroes who answered the call.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Today, we share a moment of silence to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. We honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice gives us the freedom we enjoy every day, and their courage shall never be forgotten.

We also want to extend a thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. Your dedication, strength, and sacrifice mean more than words can express.

May we never take for granted the cost of freedom, and may we always remember the heroes who gave everything for us. ❤️🤍💙
