William H. Frist said "2004 marks the 100th anniversary of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair--the fair that has come to be recognized as ushering in what today is known as ``The American Century.'' At that fair an unknown gentleman from Lynchburg, TN, rose to world acclaim. That man was Jack Daniel. At the 1904 World's Fair his Old Number 7 Brand Tennessee Whiskey won the Gold Medal as ``the world's best whiskey''. Today, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey can be found in over 135 countries. In fact, no other Tennessee product is exported to more countries. Further, this year it will become the world's No. 1 selling whiskey, displacing products made by our friends in Scotland for the first time in history. The Tennessee General Assembly recently passed a resolution commemorating Jack Daniel's 1904 Gold Medal." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
