House Joint Resolution 642 commends Doug Englen for his exemplary service as Chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Party. Englen's dedication to public service is highlighted by his extensive military career, spanning over three decades in the United States Army, where he accumulated nearly 8,000 flight hours and completed over 2,500 combat missions. His leadership roles have included serving as the Senior Warrant Officer Advisor at the Pentagon and as a chapter president of the Tennessee Firearms Association, among other civic engagements. Despite an unsuccessful bid for the Tennessee State Senate in 2020, he has remained actively involved in politics and community service.

The resolution recognizes Englen's commitment to conservative principles and grassroots support for candidates, as well as his contributions to the Army's modernization strategy through his work with Bell on the V-280 Valor aircraft. His numerous military awards, including the Distinguished Service Medal and two Silver Stars, reflect his dedication and valor. The resolution concludes by honoring Englen's commitment to public service and his role in embodying the spirit of Tennessee as the Volunteer State.
