A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME AND DESIGNATE THE OVERPASS AT U.S. HIGHWAY 301 AND INTERSTATE 95 IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF FIRST SERGEANT FRANKIE LEE LINGARD OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL WHO WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ON DECEMBER 31, 1997.

Whereas, First Sergeant Frankie Lee Lingard of the South Carolina Highway Patrol was killed in the line of duty on December 31, 1997; and

Whereas, on December 31, 1997, while making a traffic stop on Interstate 95 near Orangeburg, Trooper Lingard was fatally shot; and

Whereas, Trooper Lingard was an exemplary law enforcement officer, dedicated to protecting the citizens of South Carolina and preserving the safety of our highways;

Whereas, his courage, devotion to duty, and love of his profession will be a continued source of inspiration for law enforcement officers throughout South Carolina; and

Whereas it is proper and fitting to name the overpass at U.S. Highway 301 and Interstate 95 in honor of the memory of First Sergeant Frankie Lee Lingard of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. 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 the Department of Transportation to name and designate the overpass at U.S. Highway 301 and Interstate 95 in Orangeburg County in honor of the memory of First Sergeant Frankie Lee Lingard and to erect appropriate markers or signs reflecting this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Department of Transportation and to the widow of First Sergeant Lingard, Mrs. Barbara H. Lingard.
