House Bill 1526, also known as Senate Bill 1632, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 58, Chapter 1, by adding a new section that designates the army national guard armory located on U.S. Highway 321 in Maryville, Tennessee, as the "William O. Gregory Army National Guard Armory." This designation honors Command Sergeant Major William Gregory for his dedicated service to the army national guard and the state of Tennessee, recognizing his over forty-one years of honorable military service before his retirement in 1992 and his passing in 2014.
The bill also directs the department of military to use existing resources to erect suitable signs or markers that designate the armory with its new name. This act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of honoring veterans and their contributions to the state and nation.
