SR1076: SR1076 Brown, Robert "Bob"; honor

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia State Senate for Robert "Bob" Brown on his 80th birthday. It recounts his life story: his birth in Jellico, Tennessee in 1946, his service in the U.S. Army in Vietnam where he earned a Bronze Star, his 35-year career at General Motors plants in Atlanta, and his later work at the Georgia Senate, first as a doorkeeper starting in 2017 and then as elected Sergeant-at-Arms in 2023. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally states that the Senate honors and commends Brown on his birthday and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
