Tennessee Season to Remember Will Honor Homicide Victims

NASHVILLE - Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and First Lady Crissy Haslam will host the annual "Tennessee Season to Remember" on Thursday evening, December 8.

The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. Central Time in the House Chambers of the State Capitol in Nashville.

Families and friends of victims who have lost their lives to violent crime attend the event each year. While there, they hang ornaments memorializing their loved ones on Memorial Wreaths. After the event, the wreaths will remain on display in the State Capitol throughout the holiday season.

Guest speaker for the event will be Mike Low of Batesville, Arkansas, whose daughter, Sara, was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Since then, Low has worked for victims, and speaks frequently on victims' rights.
