Hunter Lindberg, a TSA Youth Ambassador from Tennessee was honored by his Congressman,
Rep. Zach Wamp
at a news conference at the Congressman's
local office
on Friday, April 11th. Two local newspapers, The Chattanoogan,
and
the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported the story.
Hunter said of his press conference experience, "Congressman Wamp
and his staff
were very supportive
of our cause and very friendly. I felt surprisingly
comfortable
in
front of the cameras. They asked
insightful questions and I would love to do it again."
Hunter is the first TSA Youth Ambassador from the state, and was trained during an all-day session at the recent national Tourette Syndrome Association Conference in Alexandria, VA. Hunter also visited Capitol Hill as part of TSA's "Trip to the Hill" program during the Conference.
