SR 184: United States Armed Forces; the men and women from the Greater Augusta region; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes any law. It honors the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who come from the Greater Augusta region, including active-duty service members, veterans, reservists, and National Guard personnel. It also recognizes the role of Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) and other regional military installations in national defense, and acknowledges the sacrifices made by military families. The resolution does not create any new program, funding, or legal requirement. Its only operative action is to direct the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and the press, formally recording the Senate's gratitude toward these individuals.

• Formally commends active-duty service members, veterans, reservists, and National Guard personnel from the Greater Augusta region.
• Recognizes Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) and other regional military installations for their role in national defense.
• Acknowledges the sacrifices made by military families in the Greater Augusta area.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.

The resolution names active-duty military members, veterans, reservists, and National Guard personnel from the Greater Augusta region, their families, and military installations like Fort Eisenhower. It creates no legal obligations for any group beyond the Secretary of the Senate.

Because this is a commendation rather than a law, it does not change any rights, funding, or requirements for Georgians. Its practical effect is symbolic recognition, giving official public acknowledgment to military service members and families connected to the Greater Augusta region.

• The resolution's preamble (the 'whereas' clauses) states the Senate's reasons for honoring service members, veterans, and their families from the Greater Augusta region.
• The first resolving clause commends the men and women of the Armed Forces from the region for their contributions to national security and prosperity.
• The final resolving clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
