Savage, Dr. John "Johnny"; commend
This bill is a ceremonial resolution commending Dr. John "Johnny" Savage for his lifetime of service. It formally honors his career as a dentist, U.S. Navy Dental Corps veteran (including Antarctic service during Operation Deep Freeze), Georgia state representative, mentor (notably to the first Black male dental hygienist), and community leader. The resolution specifically recognizes his pro bono work, military service, political leadership, and personal acts of courage, such as saving a man from a sinking car. As a non-binding resolution, it has no policy impact and solely serves to express the Georgia House of Representatives' appreciation.
