Faith Methodist Church set up a display honoring fallen soldiers at North Pearl and East Linden streets through the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Church members who put the display together say it is a deeply personal way to remind the community about the meaning of the holiday.<\/p>\n

“People do forget like I said, they, they think and people don’t even really understand sometimes what Memorial Day is for and, and it is a day to remember those who have fallen, and it is important that we remember them because what a sacrifice they gave,” Lillian Allen said.<\/p>\n

Faith Methodist’s pastor says the display is not just for the church, but for the entire community to visit. It will remain up through the end of the month.<\/p>\n
