Tennessee is a strong place, able to reach further, dig deeper, and lift higher than any one of us here by ourselves might dare to reach or dig or lift.
But this state is not a state; it is our state now, our Tennessee now, and our moment now, yours and mine. We will not be here forever, but we are here now.
If you feel the urgency I do, if you feel the energy I do, if you feel that love of country and home that I do, I ask you to join me in this journey as you and I work together to make of this special place something all the more special still.
