MADD Tennessee\u2019s 2017 Statewide Night of Remembrance and Awards Ceremony was attended by approximately 400 attendees again this year. The event was opened by the Presentation of Colors by the Hendersonville High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC Color Guard and the singing of the National Anthem by Elizabeth Evans, Hendersonville High School Choral Director.<\/p>\n\n

A moving candlelight vigil began with three symbolic candles lit by Officer Bradley Nave, a two-time victim of drunk driving crashes, who lit the candle to honor the survivors of impaired driving crashes; Kathy Kilgore-Beeler, who lost her son Cole, who lit the candle to remember those whose lives were lost due to an impaired driving crash; and by Director Vic Donoho of the Tennessee Highway Safety Office who lit the candle to assert hope for the future that we will have No More Victims. As the flames from these candles were shared among the 400 attendees across the room, 213 Tennessee Victims were honored and remembered as a slide show was presented on two screens at the front of the room.<\/p>\n\n\"\"\n\"\"\n\"\"\n\n\"\"\n\n

After dinner, Keynote Speaker, Kenneth White of the Tennessee Highway Patrol talked about why he supports MADD, the various ways law enforcement can partner with MADD, and how his own personal history of losing his mother at age six, and later his brother, to separate impaired driving crashes has affected his drive to protect Tennessee families from impaired driving.<\/p>\n\n

Three law enforcement personnel whose end of watch was in 2017 were then honored during our Fallen Officer tribute:<\/p>\n\n

1. Police Officer Eric Wayne Mumaw, Metropolitan Nashville Police Department<\/p>\n

2. Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Tennyson, Maury County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/p>\n

3. K9 Cain, Crossville Police Department<\/p>\n\n\"\"\n\n

The annual awards presentation was co-hosted for the second year by MADD National President, Colleen Sheehey-Church who had earlier shared the story of her 18-year-old son, Dustin, who drowned in an impaired driving crash and by Sgt. Vincent Turocy of the Tennessee Highway Patrol who serves as the Law Enforcement Chair on the MADD Tennessee State Advisory Board.<\/p>\n\n

The awards ceremony began with the presentation of the BUI\/DUI Enforcement Awards. As each group of honorees was called, victims\/survivors personally pinned each recipient with their award as the audience heard a brief explanation of their victim story. Victims were moved and honored to personally congratulate the men and women who work so hard to protect other Tennessee families from this 100% preventable tragedy. Some of them were even involved with the cases of the victims represented, making the honor even more touching.<\/p>\n\n

The first group called was for BUI Enforcment<\/strong>. To quality, officers had to have at least 10 BUI arrests in 2016 with a current conviction rate of 75%. The winners were:<\/p>\n\n
