Honoring veterans –
every day
November 10 – Freedom in the United
States of America is only extended from one
generation to the next by the men and women
in the uniform of our Armed Forces. Through
some periods, these brave Americans were
drafted to serve; and in other periods, like
this modern era, brave Americans volunteer
to serve our country in uniform. By putting
their very life and limb between threats to
our way of life and our civilian population
and standing in the gap on our behalf, they
become veterans — our greatest citizens and
finest patriots.

Congressman Zach Wamp touts benefits of
Blaine Business Park
November 5 –
U.S. Congressman Zach Wamp joined local business leaders and the
principals of Blaine Business Park on Rutledge Pike for a
groundbreaking at the 172-acre industrial development. “East
Tennessee has once again looked at the needs of its communities
and created a solution that will help a ready and willing work
force find jobs, as well as bring new economic opportunities to
the region,” said Wamp. “Grainger County’s high unemployment
rate and the shortage of commercial and industrial land in the
regions, coupled with the automotive industry growth in East
Tennessee that is upon the horizon, provide a unique opportunity
for those looking to locate to the area and invest in East
Tennessee.”

Half-century later, woman still honors brother killed in WWII
November 11 –
It took 50 years for Madeline Warren of Cleveland to receive the
flag the U.S. government sent to her family when her 19-year-old
brother died in World War II. Warren had letters revealing her
brother earned the Purple Heart and three other medals of
distinction for making the supreme sacrifice for his country but
no one had ever received them.
In December of 1996 Warren took her case to
the Oak Ridge office of Congressman Zach Wamp who made the
matter a top priority. On March 15, 1997, Wamp had the privilege
of presenting them to Warren as the guest of honor during a
special ceremony in Roane County. Wamp later wrote, "Few things
I have done as a Congressman have meant more to me. Few moments
have been as emotional.” The honor Wamp showed her 19-year-old
deceased brother who served in the Army with the Tank Destroyer
Battalion was something Warren said she will never forget.

GOP will not be the party of 'no'
November 25 –
First of all, we better avoid being the party of “no.” We must offer concrete and positive alternatives that may help accomplish objectives, such as initiate a bold nuclear-energy plan to reduce our carbon footprint, lead globally on climate change, and kick-start the U.S. manufacturing sector. And we can join clean-energy Democrats to push for high-speed rail investments and dramatic increases in renewable and energy-efficiency systems. Together, we can throw the ball deep on an ambitious agenda to become energy-independent.
