HJR 96 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Staff Sergeant Ronald Hurst, recognized

HJR 96 is a formal resolution recognizing Alabama Army National Guard Staff Sergeant Ronald Wayne Hurst upon his retirement after over 20 years of military service. It specifically honors his combined service in the U.S. Navy (1987-1990) and Alabama Army National Guard (2005-2026), highlighting his roles, leadership, and awards including the Meritorious Unit Commendation. The resolution expresses the Alabama Legislature's "profound appreciation" for his dedication, professionalism, and contributions to the U.S. Armed Forces. As a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill), it has no binding effect and serves solely to publicly commend Hurst for his service.
