TO CONGRATULATE LLOYD SAMUEL GREEN, SR., OF MAULDIN IN GREENVILLE COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF HIS ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH HIM A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

Whereas, on February 29, 2020, Mauldin resident Lloyd Samuel Green, Sr., will awaken to the celebration of a milestone event: his one hundredth birthday; and

Whereas, born in Central on February 29, 1920, Lloyd Green grew up in Mauldin and went to St. Albans School; and

Whereas, on November 26, 1941, the young Lloyd was drafted and sent to Fort Jackson, where he was attached to Battery B 553rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Automatic Weapons Battalion, for service in World War II. During his time in the military, he was deployed to Tunisia, North Africa; Naples, Italy; Rome, Italy; the Rhineland, Germany; and Central Europe. He fought in the famous Battle of the Bulge under General George S. Patton and received five Bronze Stars and a Silver Star, as well as the French Legion of Honor and the Army Good Conduct Medal. He was honorably discharged on September 24, 1945, as a tech corporal T/5; and

Whereas, on June 28, 1946, Lloyd married the lovely Ella Mae Marchbanks Green. The couple founded a family of four, Betty Green Mitchell, Sam Green, Janie Green (now deceased), and Sara Green, and later were blessed with seven grandchildren, Johnny, Kyle, Jay, Hugh, Brian, Jim, and Lloyd, as well as two step-grandchildren, Raymond and Angela. Further blessings arrived: eighteen great-grandchildren. Lloyd and Ella Mae were married for seventy years until she passed away in 2016; and

Whereas, a former councilman and mayor of Mauldin, Mr. Green served his city faithfully for three four-year mayoral terms (1992-2003). Under his leadership, improvements to East Butler Road were completed, and the new city hall was constructed and opened; and

Whereas, because he has always believed in active participation in his community, Lloyd Green has been a part of various organizations during his lifetime. As a man of faith, he has been a member of Mauldin United Methodist Church (UMC) since 1957 and has served on the Mauldin UMC Administrative Board, Building Committee, Board of Trustees, and Stewardship Committee. He is also a member of the Men's Bible Class; and

Whereas, other organizations he has served are the Mauldin Education Foundation Board, Hillcrest Hospital Board, Boy Scout Board, Masonic Lodge #213, Hejaz Shrine, and Mauldin Lions Club. Further, he was pack leader of his son's Boy Scout troop; and

Whereas, in appreciation of their service to church and community, in 2003 a Heritage Award was presented to Lloyd and Ella Mae Green by Mauldin United Methodist Church. In addition, in 2018 Mr. Green was presented the Veterans Quilt of Valor for his courageous service in World War II by then Simpsonville Mayor Janice Curtis; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in honoring this son of South Carolina at the celebration of his centennial birthday and is pleased to join with his family and friends in congratulating him on reaching this important life milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Lloyd Samuel Green, Sr., of Mauldin in Greenville County on the occasion of his one hundredth birthday and wish him a joyous birthday celebration and much happiness in the days ahead.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Lloyd Samuel Green, Sr.
