In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Naval Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NJROTC) program at Luella High School in Locust Grove. The program began in August 2003 and serves students in grades 8 through 12, enrolling more than 170 cadets each year. It is led by three retired military instructors with a combined 77 years of service. The resolution notes that cadets contribute more than 15,000 hours of community service annually in Henry County and the greater Atlanta area, and that many graduates go on to military service or leadership careers. The House formally commends the program and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the program as a keepsake. It does not change any Georgia law.
