TO RECOGNIZE and HONOR COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR (RET.) ROBERT CLARK FOR HIS EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND to THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM UPON BEING NAMED THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS 2024-2025 VETERAN OF THE YEAR.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are immensely proud to recognize those individuals who have dedicated their lives to the defense of our nation and the continued welfare of our veteran community; and
Whereas, Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Robert Clark has demonstrated unparalleled leadership, courage, and commitment throughout a distinguished military career spanning decades of selfless service; and
Whereas, upon his retirement from active duty, Command Sergeant Major Clark did not cease his mission but instead transitioned his vast experience and passion toward advocating for the veterans of the Palmetto State, ensuring that those who served receive the honor, care, and resources they earned; and
Whereas, his tireless efforts in veteran outreach, mentorship, and community engagement have made a profound impact on the lives of countless service members and their families across South Carolina; and
Whereas, in recognition of his outstanding contributions and his embodiment of the highest ideals of the "Soldier for Life" philosophy, the South Carolina Department of Veterans' Affairs has named him the 2024-2025 Veteran of the Year; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the House of Representatives pause in its deliberations to acknowledge the lifetime of sacrifice and the continued civic excellence of this "Old Soldier," Robert Clark, who continues to lead the way. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Robert Clark for his exemplary service to the United States of America and the State of South Carolina and congratulate him upon being named the South Carolina Department of Veterans' Affairs 2024-2025 Veteran of the Year.
