What does it take to make Georgia a place where veterans and military families choose to stay and thrive?

Georgia State Senator Kay Kirkpatrick, MD, joins Scott Munn and Navy veteran Tug Cowart on Warrior Alliance Spotlight to discuss the policies, partnerships, and community support shaping life after military service. Drawing on her experience as an orthopedic surgeon, legislator, and Georgia State Defense Force volunteer, Kirkpatrick shares her perspective on supporting those who serve.

The conversation explores military spouse occupational licensing, school enrollment challenges, military retirement income tax relief, veteran healthcare, and the need for additional veterans nursing homes. Kirkpatrick also explains why passing legislation is only part of the work—and why implementation, collaboration, and constituent feedback matter.
