Chattanooga Is Home

Today our nation celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr Day. The local news will cover marches, service projects, remembrance services and somewhere someone will play sounds bites of the “I have a dream” speech.

I have to admit that there is a line from the speech that I love and always get excited about:

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

I live at the foot of Lookout Mountain and I feel honored that our area was included in some of the most famous words ever written by an American.

Service to your fellow man was a theme throughout Dr. King’s words. Chattanoogans have many opportunities to serve one another. Take some time someday soon to give back to your community in honor of a man who paved the way for a better life for us all.

Help the widows.

Serve at the community kitchen.

Donate time to Habitat for Humanity.

Even give life by donating blood.

Teach someone to read.
