Metro Atlanta honors those who died for their country on Memorial Day
ATLANTA - Communities across metro Atlanta came together Monday to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States. From solemn ceremonies to patriotic parades, Memorial Day was marked with pride, gratitude, and reflection. In Roswell, dozens gathered for a moving Memorial Day ceremony filled with song, prayer, and tributes to the fallen. Families with young children were among those in attendance, many saying they brought their kids to teach them the importance of honoring those who sacrificed everything for their country. The event included a wreath-laying and a tribute to prisoners of war and service members still missing in action. One veteran told FOX 5's Alexa Lee that the presence of so many young attendees gave him chills and hope for the future. "We have a recruiting slump right now across the nation, so I think just having the youth come out and see this reverence toward these soldiers and airmen and Marines and Navy, I think that is very important for that to carry on as well," the veteran said.

The parade, one of the largest in Georgia, followed a two-mile loop and featured veterans' organizations, marching bands, church groups, scouts, and local businesses. This year's theme, "They Answered the Call. They Paid the Price," was reflected in powerful imagery as volunteers carried signs with the names and photos of more than 300 fallen heroes. "The pictures are the most moving... some of them are so young. It just strikes me how early they lost their lives in the service of our country," said one attendee. Kaitlyn Pratt reporting On Saturday, a Memorial Day remembrance ceremony was held at Georgia National Cemetery in Cherokee County. Dozens gathered to pay their respects among rows of red, white, and blue flags placed at veterans' gravesites. One visitor told FOX 5 the location holds deep personal meaning. "My World War II veteran dad is buried here along with my mother. I served also. So when my day comes, I'll be here as well. It's a beautiful park," he said. The event included a moment of silence and a ceremonial wreath-laying. The day of remembrance will conclude with a special fireworks and drone show at Stone Mountain Park, paying tribute to the nation's fallen service members. Tickets for the evening event are still available.

Rapid US transformation: Is Trump succeeding?
Is United States President Donald Trump leading his nation into economic ruin and authoritarian dystopia or correcting its course after decades of inertia?

But not all Americans believe that the economic pain caused by trade wars will lead to long-term gain. With the Democratic Party in tatters, there is no alternative vision for the country on the horizon, leaving Americans wondering about rising costs and eroding freedoms.
