WTF???

Tennessee National Guard troops leave for Washington, DC

SMYRNA, TN (WSMV) - Around 1,000 Tennessee National Guard service members will be on their way to Washington, DC, on Thursday to help with the protests that have occurred all week in the nation’s capital.

Around 200 service members have already left from the National Guard Volunteer Training site and 1,000 total will leave by the end of the day.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee was at the center Thursday morning addressing the guardsmen and women as they prepared to leave.

Lee repeated how proud he was of the service members, especially as they have helped with the tornado, pandemic and now the protests.
