Today, we remember.

On this day in 2015, five brave service members were killed in a terrorist attack at military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They were sons, brothers, fathers, and patriots who wore the uniform with honor and gave their lives in service to this country.

Staff Sgt. David A. Wyatt (USMC)
Sgt. Carson A. Holmquist (USMC)
