H. 4308
S. Printed 2/15/12--S. [SEC 2/16/12 1:53 PM]
Read the first time January 10, 2012.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4308) to request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection located at the junction of United States Highway 17A and the Sangaree Parkway in Berkeley County, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
LAWRENCE K. GROOMS for Committee.
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION LOCATED AT THE JUNCTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 17A AND THE SANGAREE PARKWAY IN BERKELEY COUNTY "LANCE CORPORAL TODD ALVIN BENJAMIN INTERSECTION" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERSECTION THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "LANCE CORPORAL TODD ALVIN BENJAMIN INTERSECTION".
Whereas, Lance Corporal Todd Alvin Benjamin was born on May 31, 1988, in Corning, New York, the son of Todd and Dana Benjamin of Summerville and his father-in-law and mother-in-law Edward and Nancy Pierce of North Charleston, and tragically died on March 30, 2010; and
Whereas, Lance Corporal Benjamin was the devoted husband of his wife, Catherine Pierce Benjamin, and was adored by his two siblings, Philip M. Benjamin and Charlotte A. Benjamin; and
Whereas, he was a 2006 graduate of Northside Christian School and attended Charleston Southern University; and
Whereas, he was a patient care giver with Nightingale's Nursing and Attendants and an active member of the Coastal Shores Baptist Church; and
Whereas, Lance Corporal Benjamin served his country with honor and distinction as a member of the United States Marine Corps and completed a combat tour of duty in Iraq; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to forever recognize Lance Corporal Benjamin's gallantry and bravery by naming a highway intersection in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection located at the junction of United States Highway 17A and the Sangaree Parkway in Berkeley County "Lance Corporal Todd Alvin Benjamin Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Lance Corporal Todd Alvin Benjamin Intersection".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
