With Great Respect And Appreciation As We Approach Memorial Day, We Have Compiled This List Of Seven Great Heroes That Called Tennessee Their Home.

Most Names You Will Quickly Recognize, But There Are A Few That Haven’t Received The Public Recognition That They Much Deserve.

As There Are Countless Heroes From The Volunteer State, We Had To Limit The Number To Highlight In This Piece To Seven. For The Many That Are Left Off Of Our List, They Too, All Have Our Utmost Respect And Heartfelt Appreciation For All They Did To Keep Our Nation Free.
