TO HONOR AND REMEMBER THE SUPREME SACRIFICE MADE BY MASTER SERGEANT DANNY E. MAYBIN OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY WHILE HE WAS SERVING A TOUR OF MILITARY DUTY IN KUWAIT, AND TO EXPRESS TO HIS FAMILY THE DEEPEST APPRECIATION OF A GRATEFUL STATE AND NATION FOR HIS LIFE, SACRIFICE, AND SERVICE.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, on behalf of all South Carolinians, acknowledge with deep appreciation the great sacrifice that the men and women of the United States Armed Forces make for the ideals of freedom and justice, which are so richly enjoyed in this nation; and

Whereas, Master Sergeant Danny E. Maybin of the United States Army stands high among those servicemen and women so honored by their country; and

Whereas, as a committed serviceman, Master Sergeant Danny E. Maybin was assigned to Headquarters, U.S. Forces Command, in Fort McPherson, Georgia. Answering the call of his country, he left his family and home in Columbia to serve in Kuwait; and

Whereas, on August 7, 2008, at the age of forty-seven, Master Sergeant Maybin lost his life at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, while supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom; and

Whereas, there is no greater or more courageous sacrifice a man can make than to lay down his life for a noble cause, as Master Sergeant Danny E. Maybin has done, and to honor his valor, Master Sergeant Maybin has been named a recipient of the Lieutenant Governor's Palmetto Patriot Award; and

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly counts it a great privilege to remember Master Sergeant Danny E. Maybin, one of the Palmetto State's finest, and the members with one voice offer their grateful thanks to Almighty God for the service and ultimate sacrifice of this heroic son of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, honor and remember the supreme sacrifice made by Master Sergeant Danny E. Maybin of the United States Army while he was serving a tour of military duty in Kuwait, and express to his family the deepest appreciation of a grateful State and nation for his life, sacrifice, and service.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Master Sergeant Danny E. Maybin.
