Did you ever feel like you received a lack of respect when you returned home from Vietnam? The war was unpopular at home, did you as a soldier ever receive some of that hate?

Thank you for your service

My Dad has voted red every election in the past 30 years. He'll be voting Bredesen hands down. I read a good article recently about Tennessee's voting habits. No party has held the Governer's mansion for more than 2 terms consecutively in the past 140 years or so. It may be a red state, but it's a pragmatic red state. Tennessean's know what Bredesen did for us (as Mayor then Governor), he has always had TN as his number 1 and only priority, regardless of party lines. Nashville wouldn't be growing so rapidly today without him. He's truly what you want in a politician.

The banana fact intrigued me enough to research if this was true. Apparently it's probably just an urban legend that it was based on the Gros Michele banana, but it does actually taste closer to that banana than the ones we know today. Neat. That particular banana was pretty much wiped out in south america due to a fungus, but you can still get it in south east asia.

To shreds you say.

I personally don’t care about party, I’ve got issues with both sides so I don’t like to view it as a party decision. But he’s done far more than enough to actually prove to me that he wants to do right by me as his constituent, and that is far more than Blackburn has ever done as my district representative.
