A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS OF OCONEE COUNTY AND ITS
OUTSTANDING CITIZENS TO BE DESIGNATED A "WORLD
WAR II COMMEMORATIVE COMMUNITY" BY THE
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
Whereas, Oconee County and its outstanding citizens have officially
applied to the United States Department of Defense in Washington,
D.C., to be designated as a "World War II Commemorative
Community"; and
Whereas, the good people of Oconee County have made application for
this honor and designation under the name "Oconee County World
War II Commemorative Community"; and
Whereas, Ms. Nan Jones, teacher at Seneca High School, is the
committee chairperson; and
Whereas, among the planned commemorative events or activities for
1994 in support of the application, the Oconee committee will dedicate
a special World War II flag, will hold a D-Day commemoration on June
6, and will sponsor ceremonies in recognition of all World War II
veterans on November 11; and
Whereas, among the events or activities planned for 1995 in support of
the application, the Oconee committee will hold a special Memorial Day
program in May to honor the memory of the 145 Oconee soldiers killed
in the Second World War, will sponsor a picnic in July to honor all
surviving veterans of the war, and will pay special tribute and
recognition in November to all living World War II prisoners of war
who reside in Oconee County; and
Whereas, the year 1994 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Allies'
D-Day invasion of continental Europe, and the year 1995 will mark the
half-century anniversary of the end of World War II -- a war in which
the United States of America participated to make the world safe for
democracy and to vanquish the forces of evil who were systematically
destroying civilization; and
Whereas, the Oconee committee's efforts to obtain the designation of a
World War II commemorative community reflect the patriotism of the
citizens of that county and their realization that the hard lessons of the
Second World War must never be forgotten; and
Whereas, we are pleased to encourage the citizens of Oconee County to
move forward in their efforts to become a World War II commemorative
community and consider this a very worthwhile endeavor which is
greatly deserving of support. 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, supports the efforts of Oconee County and its outstanding
citizens to be designated a "World War II Commemorative
Community" by the United States Department of Defense.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Ms.
Nan Jones, 4927 Bayshore Drive, Seneca, 29678.
