Brian Kemp to return Georgia's National Guard soldiers from Washington, D.C. before the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays. The lawmakers cited safety concerns over a National Guard member being shot in Washington D.c. while responding to an operational confrontation. They also expressed concern about soldiers' prolonged separation from their families.
