Tennessee Governor Finds "an Entire Country on a Mission"


(The Tennessean) Jordan Buie - Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam told members of the Nashville Jewish community on Tuesday about his trade mission this summer to Israel with his family and members of the Nashville business community. "If somebody said, 'What's the main thing that impressed you about Israel?' It would be this: It is an entire country that is on a mission," Haslam said. "It is an entire country that understands, 'Here's why we are here, and here's why it matters.'
