Today, we honor all who have served our nation in uniform. 🇺🇸
I’m especially proud to remember my own family’s service:
• Great-grandfather C.C. Newsome – France, WWI
• Great-grandfather Jasper Fortney – Pacific, WWII
Their courage reminds me that freedom is never free. #VeteransDay #Nashville

I asked for one more year. After Gulliver passed, I begged you just give me one more. You gave me nearly 3.
Today, I said goodbye to Nova, my first Tennessee dog. A rescue turned shadow, sun-soaker, bed-snuggler, heart-healer.
Saying good morning was my favorite.
Saying goodbye was the worst. 💔

Today marks the anniversary of D-Day.
On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history to fight back against tyranny and fascism.
We remember their courage, sacrifice, and the cost of freedom.

5 years ago, tornadoes devastated Middle Tennessee, changing lives forever.
Today, we remember those lost, honor the resilience of survivors, & thank the heroes who helped rebuild.
