En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Shelly-Ann Simpson, who serves as Executive Director for Field Operations and Appeals at the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, the state agency that helps veterans and their families obtain benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The resolution recounts her career, including her 1994 enlistment in the Army Reserves, her 1997 deployment to Bosnia as part of a NATO peacekeeping mission, and her work as the department's Women Veterans coordinator. The Senate resolves to commend her service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her a copy of the resolution.
