SGT Andrew T. Smith (Ret.), founder of Chattanooga-based Honoring the Sacrifice Foundation, shared a sweet tea with Si Robertson this Memorial Day weekend, sitting down to reflect on the true nature of service and sacrifice. 

Silas Merritt “Uncle Si” Robertson served from 1968 – 1993 in the United States Army before retiring to his home in Louisiana, and Duck Dynasty fame.

“God gave me the platform with the show, and that’s a place for us to stand and say something about honoring those who serve this country. Whether policemen, EMT, or all branches of our military, they all need to be honored for their sacrifice,” Mr. Robertson said.

According to Mr. Robertson, “It’s very important as a nation, since we are the ones who send them; we need to have their back going over to war and coming back.  We owe a debt to the veterans that we can’t pay.”

After discussing the important work of the foundation, Mr. Robertson appealed to all Americans to never forget the men and women who have died for this country.

Honoring the Sacrifice Foundation will be hosting its fourth annual American Heroes Dinner at the Convention Center on July 14.
