SR550: SR550 Glanton, Nikki; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Master Sergeant (Ret.) Nikki Glanton, who served in the United States Army Reserve from 2001 to 2022, completed five combat tours in the Middle East, and earned more than 25 awards during her military career. The resolution also highlights her civilian career as Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs for the Atlanta Police Foundation, where she has helped lead communications for the Public Safety Training Center project. The Senate formally commends her for her service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with a copy of the resolution.
