COLUMBUS, Ga. ( WRBL ) — Thursday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp made a couple stops in the Fountain City.
Kemp and the First Lady made stops at the Korean War memorial at the National Infantry Museum, Anne Elizabeth Shepard Home, a care facility for girls who have experience sexual trauma and the Plummer home to speak withe veterans.
Governor Kemp and the first lady join in the 100 year celebration of the Anne Elizabeth Shepherd Home. Kemp says seeing the help being given to girls in need was a heartwarming experience.
During his remarks, the governor stated the work being done at the home is near and dear to his and the first lady’s heart as she has led the charge to end human trafficking in the state.
“We’ve got a lot more work to do. We’ve tried to help a lot of individuals have a better life because they deserve that for sure,” Marty Kemp said. “Well, just one thing I want them to know is and everybody across this state is that people are there fighting for them. They love them, they care about them, and that they deserve an opportunity.”
