EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD AND FOR MAINTAINING THE GUARD'S CURRENT FORCE LEVELS IN THE STATE.
Whereas, the people of South Carolina support the South Carolina National Guard in the strongest possible terms, are immensely proud of the accomplishments of the Guard, and are extremely grateful for the services rendered by the Guard to this State and to the nation over the years; and
Whereas, any reduction of National Guard forces in South Carolina will have a devastating effect on many areas of the State; and
Whereas, because the National Guard plays a crucial role during times of civil unrest and in the aftermath of natural disasters and is important also as part of the nation's defense force, any reduction in the Guard's force levels in South Carolina should be avoided. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, expresses support for the South Carolina National Guard and for maintaining the Guard's current force levels in the State.
Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Secretary of Defense, and all eight members of the State's Congressional Delegation, all at Washington, D.C., and to the Adjutant General of the State of South Carolina.
