Guardsmen provided extra security to the Capitol building, Legislative Plaza, War Memorial Plaza, and the Tennessee Towers in Nashville. Sundquist said, “I want to ensure all Tennesseans that the most important function of state government is to protect the lives of its citizens. The events of September 11th have mandated that we shift our priorities and focus on every aspect of security in this state.”
Soldiers and Airmen of the Tennessee National Guard honored Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss here as part of a dignified arrival at approximately 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
