TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA PIER TEAM, INC., FOR SPONSORING THE FIRST-EVER SOUTH CAROLINA EMERGENCY MEDICAL MEMORIAL BIKE RIDE.
Whereas, the first event of its kind in South Carolina to memorialize those who have lost their lives in the line of duty or passed away after a lifelong career in emergency medicine, the South Carolina Emergency Medical Memorial Bike Ride will start on the steps of the State House in Columbia on April 13, 2010, finishing on April 15, 2010, at Myrtle Beach at the start of the 2010 South Carolina Emergency Medical Service Symposium; and
Whereas, this ride will also recognize those presently serving in prehospital emergency medicine across the Palmetto State, who daily put their lives in harm's way to help others in times of need; and
