HR 1726: Jones, Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Mickey; military retirement; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it recognizes Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Mickey Jones, a Navy veteran from Oglethorpe, Georgia, for his decades of military service, which included fleet assignments on numerous ships, shore duty postings including one in Kings Bay, Georgia, and graduation from several Navy leadership schools. The resolution lists his decorations, including the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and Achievement Medal, and formally congratulates him on his retirement. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to Jones as a keepsake of the honor.
