“Georgia is proud to stand with the Trump administration in its mission to ensure the security and beauty of our nation’s capital,” Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said on Sept. 5. “We share a commitment to upholding public safety and are grateful to these brave Guardsmen and women, for the families that support them, and for their dedication to service above self.”
