H.Res. 652 is a congressional resolution that honors six soldiers from Fort Stewart, Georgia, who responded heroically to a shooting attack on the base on August 6, 2025. The six soldiers named—First Sergeant Joshua Arnold, Master Sergeant Justin Thomas, Staff Sergeant Melissa Taylor, Staff Sergeant Robert Pacheco, Sergeant Aaron Turner, and Sergeant Eve Rodarte—quickly subdued the gunman and prevented further loss of life by allowing medical personnel to treat the wounded. The resolution recognizes their bravery and self-sacrifice in running toward danger to protect their fellow service members, and extends wishes for a full recovery to those injured in the attack. This is a ceremonial measure that does not involve funding or policy changes; it simply expresses the House's formal recognition and gratitude for these soldiers' actions.
