Starting the third day of the convention with the most important meal of the day, 45 Medal of Honor Recipients gathered on the ground floor of the Holiday Inn this morning for the President’s Welcome Breakfast.

Treated to a meal of french toast and hash browns provided by the Food Network, our nation’s heroes enjoyed a kazoo performance by students from Grace Christian, as well as several short speeches by local dignitaries and special guests, including the mayor of Knox County, Tim Burchett, and the CEO of Zippo Lighters, Greg Booth.
