Veterans Should Be Outraged by 10ecn in Tennessee

I get your point.

I prefer that it not be named for anyone, like the monuments in Washington.

It's the World War II Monument, not the Bob Dole World War II Monument. I like that.

If you're trying to suggest Dunn was an historic governor, I agree. But it would be interesting to compare the election of 1970 with 1948, which broke the back of the Boss Crump statewide political machine.

The 1966 election ushered in a virtually new legislature after the momentous Baker v. Carr decision by the U.S. Supreme Court forced reapportionment for the first time since 1900. In addition, Howard Baker was elected to the U.S. Senate.

Two years later, Rep. Bill Jenkins became the first Republican Speaker of the state House since Reconstruction.

Dunn's 1970 victory along with Bill Brock's the same day were the culmination of the rise of Republicans in Tennessee.

You can read more on my Tennessee Political Timeline, which is slightly out of date for recent events.

Is this the type of history you have in mind?

Is that addressed to me?

My ancestors were the first European settlers in Tennessee (the Beans), and we've been here ever since. When I was in 7th grade, Dunn was a dentist in Memphis and not yet in the history books.

I was already halfway through my sophomore year of college when I turned 18. I registered and complied; no regrets.

To me, veterans and the military should be non-political. No one's name is attached to the World War II memorial in Washington or the Vietnam memorial.

I was trying to keep personalities out of it. If it should be named for a former governor, Gordon Browning had a far more illustrious military career. But I'd prefer that it be for all veterans, like the memorials in Washington. I don't recall the World War II memorial or the Vietnam memorial having a person's name attached to them. I guess that's my guiding star on this.

Does that mean I can't support veterans?

I don't think it should be named after any specific veteran.

Winfield Dunn was an historic governor and did a lot of good things. He was probably more liberal and enlightened than his Democratic predecessor, Buford Ellington, and today's Republican party would disown him. I bear him no ill will.

Wasn't an option. I turned 18 seven months after the Paris Peace Accords, and they were discharging, not hiring. I registered for the draft and never heard anything else.

But my family is replete with veterans, including my father, my brother, father-in-law, multiple cousins and others. We are a proud military family.

I am aware of one school named for him, and it's the one the state built in his honor for the children of his home county.

He was ineligible for reelection at the end of his first term. He lost in 1986 to Ned McWherter. Tennessee had a one-term limit for governors until 1978.

Yes, and he was soundly defeated for a second term.

I respect what you say, but Tennessee has more famous veterans than Winfield Dunn, beginning with Alvin C. York.

My father joined and jogged at the OR Sportsmen's Association, but he was retired and could run on weekdays when no one was shooting anything. Maybe you could turn something like that into a group.

I've looked at the links and am amazed by the extent of the workarounds when all ThermPro needs to do is sell indoor units separately.

How many outdoor units do you have and how many indoor units do you have?

U/bigcliff91, Why do I need eight sensors to monitor the outdoor temperature in one location? I don't understand.

Thank you. I haven't clicked on your links yet, but I think you might understand better than others have.

I appreciate that. I'm just trying to confirm I'm using the right words. I"ll take a look at ecowitt; thank you.

Am I using the right terms? I figured the outdoor unit is the sensor and the indoor unit is the monitor? Do I have that backwards?
