HR 332: Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team. It describes the team's history of winning over 50 All Army and National trophies and multiple region and state championships over the past eight years, despite being the smallest team competing at the national level. The resolution also highlights the team forming the first all-female color guard to present colors at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and praises Cadet Drill Team Commander Parell's individual titles. It closes by having the House formally commend the team and extend best wishes, and directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to the team. It does not change any Georgia law.
