This morning I had the privilege to speak at a Memorial Day Observance at Historic Bethel Cemetery Kingston where a veteran from every war from Revolution to Vietnam is buried. Their sacrifice is woven into the story of our State and Nation. God bless America.

Join me at the annual Memorial Day observance 10 am eastern time at historic Bethel Cemetery in Kingston TN. Bethel is the final resting place for veterans of every war from the Revolution through Vietnam.

On this Memorial Day, Remember those who stood in the gap for our freedom - and never came home. God bless their memory, families and our beloved USA.

🇺🇸 Just in case you forgot why you have a three-day weekend… This is it. Not the barbecues. Not the beach trips. Not the sales. This is the reason. The folded flag. The final salute. The ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could be free. This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen. We remember their names. And we never take this freedom for granted.

Mayors Cresswell and Frank are focused visionaries who are committed to make our counties an even better place to live and raise a family. Their leadership is a critical piece of the nuclear renaissance - we are blessed by their leadership @ETEC_tn

‼️ We have some important information if you’re planning to head to the lake this Memorial Day weekend.‼️ The Southeast remains under severe and, in some areas, extreme drought conditions. Large portions of the region have received significantly less rainfall than normal this spring, resulting in below normal lake levels across the Tennessee Valley. Major tributary lakes including Norris, Douglas, Cherokee, Fontana, South Holston, Watauga, Boone, Blue Ridge, Chatuge, Nottely and Hiwassee are currently several feet below target summer pool levels. Lakes along the main Tennessee River, including Fort Loudoun, Watts Bar and Chickamauga, are also running lower than typical for this time of year. While rainfall is forecast over the next several days, the rain is expected to be spread out over multiple days and may not significantly improve lake levels, especially those that are well below target. Boaters should use extra caution on the water and watch for exposed rocks, debris and areas that may be shallower than normal. Plan ahead, check conditions before you go using our free Lake Info app and enjoy the weekend safely. 📲 tva.me/CHmn50Z2oaE

Electric cooperatives have provided power to rural Tenn for almost a century transforming the region in to an economic powerhouse. Management always accessible to ratepayers, too, and have my full support. @TNELECTRIC

You can count on my support in the @tnsenate , Marsha. The authoritarian atheist regime that runs China is our sworn enemy.

Today is my late Mother’s (Willie Marie) birthday. The Great Depression robbed her of her childhood. Dad’s death left her a single Mom. Through it all, she was an encourager. I am so greatful for her love and influence in my life.

Frank Gibson was a national treasure. His personable leadership style endeared him to even those who might disagree The best memorial for Frank is for us to support transparency in government #tnpolitics @TNOpenGovt

@StateDept Prayer is a conversation with our Creator, Sustainer and Savior. Talk often with Him and learn to listen, too. God bless America. @kingston_fbc @fbcwartburg @GlobalMChurch

On this day 250 years ago, our forefathers gathered for a national day of fasting and prayer. Today, Americans will come together again as one Nation under God. This is who we are and who we’ve always been.

I enthusiastically support @BrentTaylorTN for Congress. He is a champion of conservative principles. I admire his persistence to Make Memphis Matter which is turning Memphis around, making it safe again. He doesn’t let go. @realDonaldTrump needs his help in the House
