Georgia, john hoeven of north dakota, and tom tillis of North Carolina. This is about 35 minutes. , mr. President , this week this coming week will mark veterans day. It is an important time for us to reflect on what veterans do for us and what their families do for us, the sacrifices that both those who served and those who support those who serve is incredibly important. We have half a million missouri veterans and one of the great privileges of this job is to get to represent them, and the values and commitment to freedom in our country that they stand for. Just a couple of weeks ago, i had the opportunity to welcome a group of southwest missouri veterans who came to washington with the honor flight program. I think you do this too, that every time i get a chance if there is an honor flight from our state i try to get down there, because it is a great time to see and talk to and thank those who have served us. And the honor flight started 20 years ago or so, there were still some wo

Prof. Hess thank you for that generous introduction. I was thinking about it this morning, what made me to this book . Whenever you go to a civil war roundtable and mention the name Braxton Bragg, there is laughter coming up the audience because in some ways, it is almost a joke in some ways. In other ways, as pete says, a cheap joke. And also the question this morning as someone asked of holeck theragg or most divided person of the civil war . And never dawned on me to say the most hated men of the civil war, but maybe i should have said that . Let me start out with a story, and i know many of you know this story. I overheard at least two people this morning telling this story to somebody else, but they did not know i was sitting next to them. Grant memoirs, ulysses as enlisted a story. Even though grant himself admitted he did not know if it was true or not, but he said, it is kind of emblematic. The story is before the civil war, Braxton Bragg in the u. S. Army commanded a company h
Some of what jay does that they governor is serving on the federal Market Committee and getting regular talks on the economy, Monetary Policy and Financial Stability. But if they know from my own base of the site, a lot of what jay and others think of is behind the scenes and its not a visible to the public, including all the administrator work of the Federal Reserve board in overseeing the Federal Reserve system, which is a big job even when it is fully staffed, but of course there are currently three vacant seats on the board and jay tells me is chairing four of the seven am looking forward to a regulator sometime soon in the form of new governors to fill the vacancies. Before joining the senate, jay has distinguished career in Investment Banking and private equity world, including a partner in the group from 1997 to may 2005. Assistance in financing the Treasury Department and the early 1990s. In preparing for this event, i came across a transcript of his confirmation hearing in 199
Nashville as a major union supply base for the rest of the war. I always like to get up and say our next speaker needs no introduction. Thats because ive introduced him about 9,000 times, i think, which is why he needs no introduction. My great friend and polish brother chris kowlikowski is the director of the macarthur memorial which is a fantastic resource and a mustsee place to visit. But once upon a time he was a civil war guy before he found himself embroiled in world war ii. He started as an internal at Fredericksburg Spotsylvania National Military park, from there hes gone to perriville where he was the site manager, hes done work with the civil war trust, he went to the George Patton museum which is what first got him involved with world war ii and while hes busy doing that hes written a couple fantastic books, one on perry ville and one on stones river. Im very fascinating with theullahoma but it was equally monumental in its strategic success. Hes here to talk about stones ri
