HR1684: HR1684 Hudson, Dr. Terry L., II.; commend

Last action March 12, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution commends Dr. Terry L. Hudson II, an Army veteran and Fort Benning security official, for his military and civilian service.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Dr. Terry L. Hudson II. It recounts his service as a United States Army veteran who worked as an Intelligence Analyst, deployed in support of operations in Kuwait, and earned several military medals. It also describes his later work as a federal civilian employee at Fort Benning, Georgia, where he now serves as Senior Garrison Security Manager and Security Specialist overseeing security for thousands of military personnel, civilians, and contractors. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally recognizes and commends Dr. Hudson for his service and academic achievements, including a doctorate in forensic sciences, and directs the Clerk of the House to provide him a copy of the resolution.
