NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam will be joined by state and local public safety officials to host the 12th annual “Tennessee Season to Remember”.
Families and friends of victims who have lost their lives to violent crime are invited to attend and hang ornaments on memorial wreaths in memory of their loved ones. The wreaths will be moved to the Tennessee State Capitol and remain on display throughout the holiday season.
District Attorney General Mike Dunavant is scheduled to be the keynote speaker. Dunavant was elected in 2006 to serve as district attorney of Tennessee’s 25th Judicial District, which includes Lauderdale, Tipton, Fayette, Hardeman, and McNairy counties in west Tennessee. Voters this year re-elected him to a second term. In 2008, Dunavant’s wife, Jackie, was killed in a vehicular homicide accident in Lauderdale County. Dunavant has been a tireless advocate for victims of crime and has received several awards for his work on behalf of crime victims.
