General Assembly reads concurrent resolution honoring Deputy Adjutant General Kenneth Gregg

The House listened to the reading of House Concurrent Resolution 128 honoring Vermont National Guard Deputy Adjutant General Kenneth Gregg for his long and varied career in military and public service. The resolution, which the House and Senate adopted pursuant to the consent calendar, cites Gregg's military service beginning in 1978, his Vermont National Guard service from 1982 to 2008 in roles including chief of security forces and command chief master sergeant, and his work as financial director in the Vermont Department of Military Affairs.

The resolution notes Gregg's role in planning and financing departmental construction projects, his advocacy that aided adoption of an improved Vermont National Guard tuition benefit program and revisions to state law, and his coordination of the rapid construction of a temporary 400-bed alternate health care facility in response to COVID-19. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to Deputy Adjutant General Kenneth Gregg.

After the reading, the member from Berkshire invited colleagues to a ceremonial presentation of the resolution in the Cedar Creek room and praised Gregg's decades of service and community involvement. The reading and presentation arrangements were ceremonial; no new policy or statutory changes were recorded during the reading.

The resolution was read aloud on the floor; members later planned the in-person presentation for interested colleagues.
