Whereas, born and reared in Charleston, Eric Flowers received his early education at James Simmons Elementary School and graduated from Charleston High School in 1979; and
Whereas, he was active in band and played saxophone for C. A. Brown High School and Burke High School, as well as for the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts; and

Whereas, during college he also participated in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) as a cadet and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Army upon his graduation; and
Whereas, in the proud tradition of the sons of South Carolina, Mr. Flowers served his country with distinction for fourteen years and was activated during the Gulf War, attaining the rank of captain and serving in the Adjutant General's Corps and as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division Reserve Unit based in Fayetteville, North Carolina; and
Whereas, after being honorably discharged, he began a meaningful career as a South Carolina State Trooper, a career which lasted twenty-six years, and he retired in 2012 with the rank of lieutenant; and
Whereas, a faithful member of Jerusalem Baptist Church in Charleston, he sings in several choirs, and he is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity and holds the title of a 32nd Degree Prince Hall Mason; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the years of dedication that Eric Flowers has devoted to defending the freedoms we so richly enjoy and protecting the citizens of our great State, and the members wish him many more years in his well-earned retirement.
