People In The Military Love Zach Wamp
Posted on June 29, 2009 at 12:33 pmWell, the ones on this list do:
“Our next governor will be the Commander-in-Chief of the Tennessee National Guard, and no one has been more supportive or better understands the issues important to veterans, their families and the National Guard than Zach Wamp,” said Major General Dan Wood, Vietnam Veteran and former Tennessee Adjutant General. “For this reason I am proud to be a co-chair of the Veterans Leadership Team. We are proud not only to support Zach, but we intend to do all we can to help others learn why Zach Wamp will be such an outstanding Governor for Tennessee.”
Joining Wood as co-chairs of the “Veterans for Zach Wamp Leadership Team” are Four-Star Army General (ret.) Carl Stiner of LaFollette; Navy Admiral (ret.) Vance Fry of Chattanooga; Army Major General (ret.) Bill Raines of Chattanooga; Marine LTC (ret.) Fred Tucker of Nashville, who is also a former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs; Army Lieutenant General (ret.) Don Rodgers of Chattanooga; and Army Technical Sergeant (ret.) Charles Coolidge of Signal Mountain, a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Other “Veterans for Zach Wamp” include former Army Sergeant Durward Swanson of Maryville, the past president of the National Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, and former Navy Captain John Lynch Jr. of Whitewood, the national director of the Navy League of the United States.
“I’m honored and grateful to have the support of these true Tennessee heroes and patriots,” Wamp said. “The men and women who currently serve in our Armed Forces — and all of our veterans who served before them – as well as their family members who supported them — are among our greatest Americans. No group is more important to the safety and security of our state and nation. They deserve every ounce of our appreciation, support and gratitude.”

Yeah…well Haslam is going to have millions of dollars!
It’s going to take millions of dollars because Wamp seems to be the only one interested in things other than just money (i.e. building support among veterans).
Folks, endorsements from 4-star General Carl Stiner do not come lightly. This is actually pretty impressive.
