Time for all Americans over the age of 18 to exercise their right to vote for the candidate of their choice in local, state, and federal offices across the nation.
Voting is a precious freedom.
A freedom won by the bravery of thousands of men and boys who shed their blood, or were wounded, maimed, or blinded and by the women who kept the home fires burning, reared the children, tended the farms, or carried messages, hidden in their bosoms, to keep the patriot troops informed of the enemy's movements. Don't allow yourself to be counted in the group of registered voters who won't bother to go to the polls. The Tennessee State Library has reprinted the Index to Interments in the Nashville City Cemetery, 1846-1962 . The 89-page paperback includes names, age, race, and date of interment of over 9,500 people buried in this historic cemetery. Bring your brown bag lunch.
