A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND CORPORAL HENRY CLAYTON FOR EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND BRAVERY WHILE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS DUTIES DURING A MAIN DISTURBANCE AT THE BROAD RIVER CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION ON APRIL 17, 1995.

Whereas, during a disturbance at the Broad River Correctional Institution on April 17, 1995, Corporal Henry Clayton, upon observing that a fellow officer had been knocked down by armed inmates who poured boiling water over the officer, immediately and without reward for his personal safety, began diverting the attention of the attacking inmates so that the downed officer could reach safety. In the process, Corporal Clayton himself was stabbed by an inmate. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate commend Corporal Henry Clayton for exceptional service and bravery while in the performance of his duties during a main disturbance at the Broad River Correctional Institution on April 17, 1995.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Corporal Henry Clayton.
