Whitfield County Emergency Management

Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. On this Memorial Day, we remember their courage, dedication, and selflessness.

As we gather with family and friends, we also recognize that holidays can be difficult for many — especially veterans, military families, and those grieving the loss of loved ones. Mental health matters, and no one should face those struggles alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline anytime.

Let us honor the fallen not only with remembrance, but by supporting and caring for one another. 🇺🇸
