Oral History: Walter Glenn Birdwell, chief executive officer at Citizens Bank in Carthage, Tenn., shares his personal experiences with the construction of Cordell Hull Dam at Cumberland River mile 313.5., a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District project. Birdwell served as chairman of the Smith County Industrial Development Committee when the dam construction began, and was present at the location of the dam May 18, 1963 when President John F. Kennedy pressed a button for the Cordell Hull Dam Groundbreaking at Vanderbilt University's Dudley Stadium, which set off a ceremonial first blast at the construction site. Construction began in May 1963; the dam was completed in November 1973. Birdwell spoke about his experiences during a visit to the dam Oct. 5, 2017. (Video by Leon Roberts)

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
