En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Judith L.

The resolution details her community involvement, including her leadership roles in the National Association of Black Military Women, the military sorority and auxiliary organizations she founded, her membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, her work at Shiloh Baptist Church in Jonesboro, and her career as a real estate professional and instructor. The House directs its Clerk to prepare an official copy of the resolution for her.
