FIRST ON FOX: A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is set to introduce a resolution calling on President Biden to declare the month of July as "American Patriotism Month."
U.S. Representatives Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01) and Nanette Barragán (D-CA-44) introduced H.R. 8843, a House companion bill to S. 4212, the American Music Tourism Act. Introduced in April by U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn in the upper chamber, this bicameral legislation will help bolster music tourism both in Tennessee and ... nationwide.
“No mother should ever feel left behind, unsupported, or be fearful for the future of their child,” said Congresswoman Harshbarger. “The MOMS Act will help ensure that mothers have the help and resources they need before, during, and after pregnancy, enabling them and their families to thrive. I am proud to help introduce this legislation that will increase access to care for expecting mothers, their children, and promote life as the clear choice for our future families.”
ERWIN, Tenn. (WJHL) — Rep. Diana Harshbarger visited the Unicoi County Public Library to donate books from the Library of Congress.
The Unicoi County library lost more than 2,700 books in January due to water damage.
But on Thursday, the library received hundreds of new books thanks to a Library of Congress program that gives books to local libraries.
Library officials were excited about the new books.
U.S. Rep. Diana Harshbarger will hold a town hall meeting, which is being billed as “Coffee with Your Congresswoman,” on Thursday, April 25.
The event will be held from noon to 2 p.m. at the Unicoi County Courthouse.

The planned “Coffee with your Congresswoman” event hosted by US Rep. Diana Harshbarger originally scheduled for Friday, April 19 at West End Baptist Church in Newport has been rescheduled to Monday, June 17.

TRI-CITIES, Tenn. (WJHL) — March 29 is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. According to the national archives, there were more than 58,000 U.S. military fatalities in the war.
Those who did return home weren’t welcomed back. In this week’s Veterans Voices, James Spires was just recognized for his service in the war.
“The government took most of my life away but God gave it back to me,” Navy Veteran James Spires said.
At just 17 years old, Spires enlisted into the Navy as the Vietnam War was raging on.
