A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME HIGHWAY 544 RUNNING FROM THE HIGHWAY 501 BYPASS IN CONWAY TO HIGHWAY 17 BUSINESS IN SURFSIDE THE "CORPORAL DENNIS LYDEN MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" IN MEMORY OF CORPORAL DENNIS LYDEN, WHO WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ON JUNE 5, 2000, WHILE MAKING A TRAFFIC STOP THERE, AND TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAY CONTAINING THE WORDS THE "CORPORAL DENNIS LYDEN MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" IN MEMORY OF CORPORAL LYDEN'S DEDICATION, LOVE, AND SERVICE TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND HORRY COUNTY.

Whereas, roads and bridges throughout Horry County and the State of South Carolina have been named in honor of distinguished citizens who have given of both their time and efforts to improve upon this great State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Corporal Dennis Lyden, a dedicated four-year veteran of the Horry County Police Department, was murdered in the line of duty on June 5, 2000, along Highway 544 while making a routine traffic stop; and

Whereas, he was laid to rest in Hillcrest Cemetery located along Highway 544; and

Whereas, during Corporal Lyden's four years of service, he performed his job with distinction and demonstrated a love and concern for his county and State as well as for his fellow workers, friends, and citizens; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe that it would be a fitting tribute to the memory of Corporal Lyden if a portion of the highway where he gave his life in service of his county and State were named in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly hereby request that the Department of Transportation name Highway 544 running from the Highway 501 bypass in Conway to Highway 17 business in Surfside the "Corporal Dennis Lyden Memorial Highway" in memory of Corporal Dennis Lyden, who was killed in the line of duty on June 5, 2000, while making a traffic stop there, and install appropriate markers or signs on the highway containing the words the "Corporal Dennis Lyden Memorial Highway" in memory of Corporal Lyden's dedication, love, and service to the State of South Carolina and Horry County.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
