A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
REQUESTING SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC AND GAS
COMPANY TO TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO RENAME
BOMBING RANGE ISLAND, FORMERLY KNOWN AS LUNCH
ISLAND, IN LAKE MURRAY AS "DOOLITTLE
ISLAND" IN HONOR OF THE COURAGE, PATRIOTISM,
AND HEROIC FEATS OF THE DOOLITTLE RAIDERS OF WORLD
WAR II FAME.
Whereas, the Doolittle Raiders completed their fiftieth anniversary
celebration in Columbia in April, 1992, with much fanfare and
excitement and with a tremendous amount of interest by the citizens of
South Carolina; and
Whereas, Bombing Range Island, formerly called Lunch Island, located
in Lake Murray was used by the Doolittle Raiders during the Second
World War as a target on their practice bombing runs -- training for their
momentous future air raid on Tokyo during the war; and
Whereas, it would be entirely appropriate and a fitting tribute to these
courageous and patriotic individuals known as the Doolittle Raiders for
Bombing Range Island in Lake Murray to be renamed Doolittle Island.
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 South Carolina Electric and Gas Company to take
the necessary action to rename Bombing Range Island, formerly known
as Lunch Island, in Lake Murray as "Doolittle Island" in
honor of the courage, patriotism, and heroic feats of the Doolittle
Raiders of World War II fame.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
South Carolina Electric and Gas Company in Columbia and to Mr.
Edward H. Fetner, Jr., P.O. Box 86, Chapin, South Carolina 29036.
