H. 4132 -- Rep. Cobb-Hunter: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO HONOR THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE DIED ON THE JOB BY DECLARING APRIL 28, 1995, "WORKERS' MEMORIAL DAY".

Whereas, the working men and women of South Carolina have helped to build this State and keep the state's economy strong; and

Whereas, many workers die with little attention each year while performing their jobs, others die as the result of occupational diseases contracted or aggravated on the job, and thousands more are disabled or injured on the job; and

Whereas, in fiscal year 1994, thirty-nine workers died in South Carolina while working from causes as varied as electrocution, falls, and being struck by objects; and

Whereas, when these workers died they left behind families that had loved and depended on them; and

Whereas, while the need for strong safety and health protections, strong standards of enforcement, and fair and just compensation for such deaths

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

The following was taken up for immediate consideration:

S. 747 -- Senators McConnell and Passailaigue: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION DESIGNATING JUNE 28, 1995, AS "CAROLINA DAY" IN COMMEMORATION OF THE EVENTS OF JUNE 28, 1776, WHEN A GROUP OF OUT-MANNED AND OUT-GUNNED SOUTH CAROLINIANS, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF COLONEL WILLIAM MOULTRIE, TURNED BACK THE ATTACK OF A POWERFUL BRITISH FLEET BENT ON CAPTURING CHARLESTON IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Whereas, on June 28, 1776, a gallant group of out-manned and out-gunned South Carolinians, under the leadership of Colonel William Moultrie, turned back the attack of a powerful British fleet bent on capturing Charleston; and

Whereas, a defeat of the South Carolinians in the first days of the American Revolution would have been disastrous to the American cause; instead, this brilliant victory provided a beacon of hope to the patriots in those difficult days and became the first triumph of the new nation; and

Whereas, for subsequent generations of Carolinians, the twenty-eighth of June was independence day, a day to honor the liberty they enjoyed; parades, fireworks, picnics, and many other events were held to mark the day; with this commemoration, citizens of the Palmetto State celebrated not only their independence but also their unique heritage and culture; and

Whereas, in 1995, the South Carolina Historical Society, the Society of the Cincinnati, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Fort Moultrie National Monument, and the 64th Regiment of Foot Re-enactors, under the name of the Palmetto Society, are joining their efforts to restore this important day to its proper place on South Carolina's calendar; in observance of Carolina Day, June 28, 1995, the Palmetto Society has planned a full day of activities, including a church service, a theatrical performance, a procession, and a wreath-laying ceremony; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly firmly believe that the significance of the accomplishments of June 28, 1776, should be appropriately commemorated. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, designates June 28, 1995, as "Carolina Day".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Major General J. A. Grimsley, Jr., USA (Retired), Chairman, Palmetto
