A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE INTERCHANGE AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95 AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 26 IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY AS THE FRANK L. CULBERTSON, JR. INTERCHANGE.

Whereas, Commander Frank L. Culbertson, Jr., son of Dr. and Mrs. Frank L. Culbertson, Sr., is a United States Navy Astronaut; and

Whereas, he was born in Charleston but considers Holly Hill his home; and

Whereas, Commander Culbertson graduated from Holly Hill High School in 1967 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the United States Naval Academy in 1971; and

Whereas, he has been recognized for his outstanding service by receiving Navy and Air Force commendation medals and several meritorious unit medals; and

Whereas, Commander Culbertson served six months in the Gulf of Tonkin and aboard the USS Fox; and

Whereas, his military experience is superior, receiving training as an S-4 Phantom Pilot, serving as a weapons and tactics instructor, and logging over three thousand seven hundred hours flying time in thirty-five different types of aircraft and three hundred fifty carrier landings; and

Whereas, Commander Culbertson became a NASA Astronaut in June 1985 and qualified for assignments as a pilot on future space shuttle flight cruises; and

Whereas, he has served as a launch support team member for four shuttle flights; and

Whereas, following the tragic loss of the space shuttle Challenger he assisted with investigations conducted by NASA, presidential commissions, and the Congress; and

Whereas, Commander Culbertson was a pilot on the crew for the STS-38 aboard the space shuttle Atlantis which was launched on July 14, 1990; and

Whereas, in order to recognize Commander Culbertson's many accomplishments and contributions to the field of space aviation, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be fitting to name a section of South Carolina's highway system after Frank L. Culbertson, Jr. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation to name the interchange at Interstate Highway 95 and Interstate Highway 26 in Orangeburg County as the Frank L. Culbertson, Jr. Interchange and that the Department of Transportation is instructed to erect the appropriate markers.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Commander Culbertson.
