SR 1097: Dickerson, Robert T. "Terry"; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Robert T. "Terry" Dickerson, a longtime resident of Cherokee County, for serving in the United States Army during the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969 and for decades of hard work supporting his wife and children. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy for distribution to Dickerson as a formal token of the chamber's recognition. It does not create any new rules, spending, or requirements; its only effect is the formal statement of commendation itself.

• Formally recognizes and commends Robert T. "Terry" Dickerson for his military service and lifetime of family and community contributions.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Dickerson.
• Creates no new law, funding, or requirement; its only legal effect is the Senate's formal statement of commendation.

The resolution directly names Robert T. "Terry" Dickerson and his family, including his wife Judy and children Tara, Jason, Jeremy, and Dillon. It has no broader regulatory effect on other Georgians.

This resolution has no practical effect on Georgia law or residents beyond the person honored. It matters mainly as a public, formal record of the Senate's appreciation for one Georgian's military service and personal history.

• The resolution's whereas clauses describe Dickerson's Army service in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969 and his decades of work supporting his family.
• The resolving clause formally commends Dickerson for his service to family, community, Georgia, and the United States.
• A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide Dickerson a copy of the resolution.
