TO COMMEND THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN NOW SERVING AND WHO FORMERLY SERVED AS MEMBERS OF ORANGEBURG UNITS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD FOR THEIR COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE, AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THEIR COMMUNITY, THE STATE, AND THE NATION AND TO DECLARE SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 2002, AS "ORANGEBURG NATIONAL GUARD UNIT APPRECIATION DAY".
Whereas, the South Carolina National Guard has been an integral part of the City of Orangeburg and Orangeburg County since their founding; and
Whereas, from the early days of the militia to the present, the City and County of Orangeburg have had a National Guard unit of its own; and
Whereas, numerous civic, business, and governmental leaders have served and continue to serve in the outstanding National Guard units of Orangeburg and the surrounding area; and
Whereas, on January 26, 2002, the South Carolina National Guard is scheduled to host a reunion for the outstanding men and women who have served the Orangeburg community, their State, and the nation so faithfully as members of National Guard units which have called Orangeburg home over the years; and
Whereas, the anticipated program for the reunion of National Guard units of Orangeburg envisions opening the armory to visitation to allow current and former members of the Orangeburg units and their guests to view numerous static displays, to reminisce, renew friendships, and develop new friendships; and
Whereas, the formal program for the reunion will feature Major General Stanhope S. Spears, the Adjutant General of South Carolina, as guest speaker, and brief comments by local dignitaries and community leaders followed by a barbeque dinner served in honor of former and present members of Orangeburg National Guard units. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, commend the brave men and women now serving and who formerly served as members of Orangeburg units of the South Carolina National Guard for their commitment, sacrifice, and outstanding service to their community, the State, and the nation and declare Saturday, January 26, 2002, as "Orangeburg National Guard Unit Appreciation Day".
