  • Senator Coons dedicates garden for families of the fallen

    Chris Coons at Dover Air Force Base

    DOVER — Senator Coons was at Dover Air Force Base Tuesday to help dedicate the Memorial Garden for the Fallen, a carefully groomed outdoor space adjacent to the building where fallen service members' families await their loved ones' arrival back on American soil.

    "May this be ever like that prophetic garden, to bring strength and comfort to those who come here in their darkest hour," Senator Coons said in a ceremony dedicating the garden. "May it be a place where they can feel the strength of our support and the peace of healing."
