A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE THE BOEING COMPANY AND ITS DREAMLIFTER OPERATIONS TEAM FOR DELIVERING LIFE-SAVING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND CITIZENS ACROSS THE COUNTRY DURING THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

Whereas, Boeing deployed three Dreamlifter aircraft to transport life-saving personal protective equipment from China to the United States during the COVID-19 global pandemic; and

Whereas, the Boeing Dreamlifter Operations team is headquartered in North Charleston, South Carolina; and

Whereas, Boeing employees worked in partnership with the Medical University of South Carolina to transport more than four hundred thousand protective eye goggles, face shields, and other personal protective equipment from China to the United States; and

Whereas, Boeing employees worked in partnership with Prisma Health to transport approximately 1.5 million surgical masks from China to the United States; and

Whereas, these deliveries, made possible by the Dreamlifter Operations team, put essential personal protective equipment in the hands of South Carolina's frontline health care professionals; and

Whereas, these deliveries helped South Carolina's medical community support the recovery of the economy and the ramp-up of community outreach efforts; and

Whereas, this personal protective equipment allowed health care providers to reach people experiencing barriers to health care access, especially in rural and underserved communities, with the understanding that rural and underserved communities experience disparities in access to COVID-19 screening, testing, prevention, and treatment; and

Whereas, The Boeing Company remains steadfast in its commitment to the citizens of South Carolina; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate expresses the utmost gratitude to all of Boeing's employees, especially the members of its Dreamlifter Operations team. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize The Boeing Company and its Dreamlifter Operations team for delivering life-saving personal protective equipment to the residents of South Carolina and citizens across the country during the COVID-19 global pandemic

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to The Boeing Company and its Dreamlifter Operations team.
