Photo Gallery: Atmore Area Memorial Day Service
May 29, 2012
About 200 people gathered in Atmore Monday morning for a Memorial Day service to recognize those that have served from Atmore, Walnut Hill, Bratt and surrounding areas.
“We need to put the ‘memorial’ back in ‘Memorial Day’,” keynote speaker Brigadier General (Ret.) Wendell B. McLain said. “Let’s not let this day be merely the first day of summer, let’s make it a time for reflection and to express gratitude.”
McClain said veterans are often taken for granted, especially those from the post-September 11th era. “There are so many heroes, many so young,” he said.
Members of American Legion Post 90 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7016 took part in a solemn ceremony, reading aloud the names of each deceased service member that appear on a spire-shaped monument. A bell was tolled in honor of those that served.
The names memorialized included LCpl Travis Nelson of Bratt, killed in a action in August 2011 in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. It was just two weeks after his 19th birthday and only about a month after he arrived in Afghanistan.

Northview Class Of 2012 Holds Baccalaureate Service (With Photo Gallery And Video)
May 28, 2012
The Northview High School Class of 2012 held their Baccalaureate service Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist Church of Bratt.
“Pray to withstand the temptations of life,” senior Savannah Singleton told her class members. “No matter what we do in life, we need to keep God in focus.”
Bro. Tim Hawsey of the First Baptist Church of Bratt echoed the need for the seniors to stay focused on the right things in life, including the Bible.
“The Bible is the most important book,” Hawsey said. “He wants you to know it, he wants you to apply it to your life.” Hawsey also offered words of encouragement for the future for the graduating seniors.
“God has a dream for you; God’s dream may no be the same dream you have for yourself,” Hawsey said. “There’s no greater calling that serving God wherever you are.”
For more photos from the Baccalaureate service, click here.

Music for the service was provided by the Northview Senior Ensemble, including Austin Albritton, Taylor Dukes, Tyler Hester, Caleb Leonard, Blake Luker, Lauren McCall, Charleigh McPherson, Melissa Moretz, Abby Odom, Alex Payne, Darwin Robin, Savannah Singleton, Charla Stark, Mallory Turner and Elizabeth Wright.
