🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Gracie Barra Lake Orion

Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. We owe our freedom and way of life to their courage, dedication, and selflessness.

We are grateful for their service and for the freedoms we get to enjoy every single day — including the ability to train, grow, and build community on the mats.
We will be closed today in observance of the holiday, but we’ll be back on the mats tomorrow with regular classes.

Thank you to all who have served.

Never forgotten.
