A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO DESIGNATE AND NAME THE BATTERY CREEK BRIDGE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY AS THE "RUSSELL BELL BRIDGE" IN MEMORY OF BEAUFORT COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF RUSSELL BELL, WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY, AND FURTHER REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS.

Whereas, Beaufort County Deputy Sheriff Russell Bell made the supreme sacrifice as a law enforcement officer by giving up his life when he was shot and killed in the line of duty; and

Whereas, he was an outstanding and highly dedicated law enforcement officer who was respected and admired by his colleagues in law enforcement and by the citizens of Beaufort County whom he so generously served; and

Whereas, he was a devoted public servant whose presence will be missed greatly; and

Whereas, it is entirely fitting and proper that the Battery Creek Bridge in Beaufort County be designated and named as the "Russell Bell Bridge" as a lasting memorial and tribute to this good man's supreme sacrifice. Now, therefore,

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

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, requests the Department of Highways and Public Transportation to designate and name the Battery Creek Bridge in Beaufort County as the "Russell Bell Bridge" in memory of Beaufort County Deputy Sheriff Russell Bell, who was shot and killed in the line of duty, and to install appropriate markers or signs at places at, on, or near the bridge as the department considers advisable containing the words "Russell Bell Bridge".

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Highways and Public Transportation, the family of Russell Bell, and the Sheriff of Beaufort County.
