The third expert is Mike Coffman the U.S Representative for the 6th District of Colorado. He has had a long military career, while fighting on the front lines. Rep.

The world’s largest living history museum, Colonial Williamsburg, is an amazing place where anybody can learn something new about life in the eighteenth century. Among other things, it contains recreated buildings that function effectively as they would have in the eighteenth century. Visitors to Colonial Williamsburg learn through historical acting; the acting staff live as if living in the real Colonial Williamsburg. Also, the buildings have much history attached to them. However, there is one building that is the most deserved of a commemorative coin. Although there were other worthy candidates, the building is extremely important, both historically and presently. This structure fits the Colonial Williamsburg motto, “That the future may learn from the past,” perfectly. In my opinion, the Bruton-Parish Church was, and still is,

This military omnibus bill consists of employment rules, VA Choice Card program, new caregivers support and many others (Shane, 2016). Isakson hopes that within months the military can switch departments to a Title 38 status which will allow flexibility for hiring and firing those in the military. However, a certain senior executive does not want this bill to pass because he believes it would appeal the rights of those in the military. Meanwhile, Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman, Jeff Miller, is pushing for his own bill to be passed that adds on to Isakson’s omnibus bill. However, the White House thinks Miller’s Bill will weaken employment protections. Which would make it that much harder for the Isakson bill to get passed. Isakson is quoted saying, “Anybody can write a letter. We’re going to produce legislation and work with the house to get a joint bill together that solves everybody's problems when it comes to accountability” (Shane, 2016). The last step for this omnibus bill is for it to be passed by the House of Representatives. As of right now, the omnibus bill it is still a bill, stuck in the House of

Over the past 15 years, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) has seen a dramatic increase in the average degree of disability, growth in the number of compensation recipients, a rise in the number of medical issues claimed and an increased level of complexity of claimed issues. To illustrate this point, prior to the September 2011 terrorist attacks, 333,700 Veterans received compensation at the 70-100 percent level; however, these figures rose to over 1.1 million by the end of 2013. Additionally, since 2009, VA’s disability compensation workload rose 132 percent. This is in large part due to an unprecedented demand resulting from over a decade of war, military downsizing, economic issues, increased outreach, the addition of presumptive conditions and an aging Veteran population.

The staff at Belle Meade realizes that they must engage in marketing. If I was them, I would offer the Plantation to event planners to expand the organization’s social enterprise. Most people from Tennessee are still traditional and the Plantation could be suitable for weddings and reunions. They have taken some ideas from Biltmore Estate’s Winery, so let go a little more diverse. I recommend going to visiting Maryland or Virginia Winery Wedding events to learn from their practices. A rustic wedding has some classic throwback glamour and effortless country. The Plantation could feature a lovely blend of southern charm and rustic. A section of the Plantation could be rented out for the ceremony, food could be cratered in, if not prepared
