A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND CORPORAL BENJAMIN

FOR HIS OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE AND HIS OFF-DUTY
SERVICE TO HIS FELLOWMAN INTERVENING IN A
LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION TO SAVE THE LIFE OF

Whereas, Corporal Benjamin Murray, Chief of Security for the Blatt
Building, has been a dedicated law enforcement officer for twenty-five
years; and
Whereas, he has been an outstanding officer with the South Carolina
Law Enforcement Division for almost fifteen years; and
Whereas, he is committed to protecting and serving his fellowman both
on duty and off duty; and
Whereas, he recently demonstrated this by using his skills and
experience as a veteran law enforcement officer, and with great courage
and intrepidity he intervened in a life-threatening situation to save the
life of another; and
Whereas, Corporal Murray pulled a man enough above the onslaught of
dirt from a collapsing ditch so that, although the man was buried waist
deep, he saved him from being buried alive; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to have this
opportunity to recognize Corporal Murray and his outstanding service
both on and off duty. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina
recognizes and commends Corporal Benjamin Murray, Chief of Security
for the Blatt Building, for his outstanding public service and his off-duty
service to his fellowman intervening in a life-threatening situation to
save the life of another and to extend to Corporal Murray the privilege
of the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, May 14, 1991,
at a time to be determined by the Speaker, for the purpose of being
recognized for this act of bravery.
