In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia Senate. It does not change any law. It recounts the military career of Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Sabrina Keyrra Bradley, who served in the United States Army from 1975 to 2005, held leadership roles including Emergency Plans and Operations Officer and Medical Logistics Officer, and commanded a Headquarters Company during the Gulf War. The resolution also notes her federal service afterward as a Hazardous Materials Investigator with the United States Department of Transportation, and her more than 6,000 volunteer hours with veteran and community organizations. The Senate resolves to recognize her commitment to volunteerism and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with a copy of the resolution.
