Should I start this inaugural edition of the newsletter off with a question? Or should I say what's on my mind? (if you got that Relient K reference, you ARE my people 😂)

Clarksville, I hope and trust that you had a GREAT Independence Day yesterday and a party-full (or peaceful) weekend leading up to it. We've got a lot to be grateful for as Americans. And as Clarksvillians, living in a "base town" lends that extra nod towards patriotism and American gratitude.

Since our 1st edition of the newsletter is dropping the day after 4th of July, I'd like to highlight my favorite picture from the different celebrations happening around Clarksville after touching on a few other important things.
