SR 832 Georgia Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Stephens, George Walter; condolences

This is a ceremonial resolution (SR 832) honoring George Walter Stephens, a WWII veteran who died in 1966. It commemorates his 22-year Army service - including combat in Sicily, Normandy, and the Ardennes - with the 2nd Armored Division, his military awards (like the Army Commendation Medal), and his legacy as a family man. The resolution, adopted by the Senate on February 24, 2026, directs the Senate Secretary to provide a copy to his family. It has no policy impact or legal effect, as it is purely symbolic.
