Brier CreeJc
observes Siege
of Savannah
Dess Smith
Special Contributor
Several members of the Brier Creek Chapter
and the Wiregrass Chapter traveled to Savannah,
GA to participate in the 243rd Anniversary Siege
of Savannah battle. Those members were: Brier
Creek Chapter, Don Bazemore, Lee Herron, Allen
Mincey and Wiregrass Chapter, Wilder Smith, Jr.,
Steve Burke, Dess Smith III. The event started in
the parking lot of the Coastal Heritage Society's
Tricentennial Park, Savannah History Museum,
at 7:00 a.m. with the Battlefield Memorial March
to the old Savannah/Augusta Road, turn east and
march toward the Spring Hill redoubt to honor those
who fought, fell, and sacrificed for our freedom.
The battle was one of the bloodiest of the war. The
actual tally for the Franco-American forces was 244
killed, nearly 600 wounded and 120 taken prisoner
while the British casualties were comparatively
light: 40 killed, 63 wounded and 52 missing. Three
currently existing Army National Guard units (118th
FA GaARNG), 131st MP, 263rd ADA are derived
from American units that participated in the siege
of Savannah. While marching up the road we heard
cannon and musket fire and formed at the redoubt
for the event ceremony. After several greetings were
given and approximately 20 wreaths presented, the
Savannah unit of the Sons of the Revolution fired 3
volleys with their flintlocks. We then were served a
very good breakfast at the museum.

A word from
Rep. Jon Burns
Jon Bums
Special Contributor
Early voting for
the General Election
has started and
will continue until
Friday, November
4. Election Day is
Tuesday, November
8. With plenty of
days left to vote,
please take time to
review your ballot
before heading to
the polls. You can
find information
on My Voter’s Page
and important dates
here: https://www.
friendsofj onburns.
com/electioninfo.
Your ballot will
include four
questions that
require your vote.
Here is a rundown of
those questions: Constitutional Amendments 1.
"Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so
as to suspend the compensation of the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney
General, State School Superintendent, Commissioner
of Insurance, Commissioner of Agriculture,
Commissioner of Labor, or any member of the
General Assembly while such individual is suspended
from office following indictment for a felony?"
a. This amendment would address a loophole in
the Georgia Constitution by suspending the salary
for any statewide elected official who is indicted for
a felony dealing with the office he or she holds. I
URGE YOU TO VOTE “YES” ON CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT 1.
2. "Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended
so as to provide that the governing authority of each
county, municipality, and consolidated government
and the board of education of each independent and
county school system in this state shall be authorized
to grant temporary tax relief to properties within
its jurisdiction which are severely damaged or
destroyed as a result of a disaster and located within
a nationally declared disaster area?"
a. This amendment would allow local governments
to grant property tax relief for properties damaged
or destroyed in a disaster, giving more flexibility to
relieve the burdens faced by residents as they rebuild
their property. I URGE YOU TO VOTE “YES” ON
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
2. Referendums A. "Shall the Act be approved which
grants a state-wide exemption from all ad valorem
taxes for certain equipment used by timber producers
in the production or harvest of timber?"
a. This legislation would ensure that Georgia’s
forestry community benefits from the same tax
provisions as other agricultural sectors, providing
long-term protections to keep this industry viable for
generations to come. I URGE YOU TO VOTE “YES”
ON REFERENDUM A.
B. "Shall the Act be approved which expands a
state-wide exemption from ad valorem taxes for
agricultural equipment and certain farm products
held by certain entities to include entities comprising
two or more family-owned farm entities, and which
adds dairy products and unfertilized eggs of poultry
as qualified farm products with respect to such
exemption?"
a. This legislation would ensure that current tax
provisions designed to keep farms viable continue to
protect today’s family-owned agricultural enterprises.
I URGE YOU TO VOTE “YES” ON REFERENDUM
B. As you practice your constitutional right to vote
during this election, please reach out with any
questions concerning the questions on your ballot.
