Carolinians with whom he came in contact; and
Whereas, his thirty-three-year military career included service in
World War II, Korea, and Vietnam; and
Whereas he was a recipient of numerous medals, including the
Legion of Merit Award, the highest military peacetime award, and
the Victory Cross of Gallantry with Palm; and
Whereas, he was an active member of the Lexington County
Republican Party and had co-chaired the Chapin Committee for Joe
Wilson for State Senate in 1984; and

Raymond Herndon, Jr., of Richmond Hills, Georgia, Travis B.,
Joshua S., Ramon M., Benjamin M., and Daniel Grady Hayes of
Chapin; and a great-granddaughter, Taylor Elise Herndon of
