Whereas, Sergeant Demetrius L. Void of the United States Army stands high among those servicemen and women so honored by their country; and

Answering the call of his country, he left his family and home in Orangeburg to serve in Afghanistan; and
Whereas, on September 15, 2009, at the age of twenty, Sergeant Void lost his life for the cause of freedom, dying of injuries sustained when a military vehicle struck him while conducting physical training in southern Afghanistan; and

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly counts it a great privilege to remember Sergeant Demetrius L. Void, one of the Palmetto State's finest, and the members with one voice offer their grateful thanks to Almighty God for the service and ultimate sacrifice of this heroic son of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
