En lenguaje claro

The resolution describes her service history, including supporting Operation Enduring Freedom at Camp Navistar, Kuwait, convoy operations into Iraq, and assignments in Mississippi, Michigan, and Kentucky. It notes she now serves as a Senior Human Resources Sergeant in Decatur, Georgia, lists her military training courses, and mentions her membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. The Senate directs the Secretary of the Senate to give her a copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
