Today I attended a breakfast with U.S. Congressman Lincoln Davis in Manchester.  The event was sponsored by the cities of Manchester and Tullahoma, much in the tradition of an event I put together to advocate for CBAT (Common Battlefield Airman Training) and to host U.S. Senator Bob Corker.  The breakfast was impeccable, as usual, when meals are prepared at the Coffee County Conference Center.  The event was well decorated and flowed smoothly.  Congressman Davis gave a very credible bi-partisan update on many of the major federal issues concerning our community.  He said some things I particularly liked….things I have been saying for years.  We have to get away from democrats and republicans and start thinking like Americans.  I agree.  Our problems are too severe to try to extract political capital from issues such as health care, defense and education.

            Congressman Davis also updated the community on CBAT, as I often do.  Once again we agreed on something wholeheartedly-that everyone is working together, pulling the same direction and not allowing petty jealousies to deter economic growth.  I beam with pride each time I see our various cities and chambers, democrats and republicans all communicating and working together.  We are truly unstoppable when we work together in this fashion.  We all realize that a small group or perhaps just one person could be capable of disrupting this unprecedented productivity, so we are very proud of our fellow citizens for putting their differences aside to show unequivocal support for CBAT and other economic opportunities coming our way.
