A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

To request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Patterson Mill Road from South Carolina Highway 125 in Allendale County to South Carolina Highway 64 in Barnwell County "Veterans Memorial Highway" and place appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

 

Whereas, for nearly 250 years generations of men and women have served, sacrificed, and defended the values that allow this country to flourish. They serve their country with distinction, ever mindful that the obligation continues long after the battle is won; and

 

Whereas, when America's veterans return home, they continue to serve their communities and states, bringing impressive skills and leadership to the workforce, the talent to master advanced technologies, and the ability to adapt to most any situation that confronts them; and

 

Whereas, as this country marks its 250th anniversary, the State of South Carolina celebrates its nearly 400,000 veterans who gallantly gave so much of themselves and continue to be an inspiration through their display of leadership, courage, and commitment to service in their community. More than 1,600 of these veterans live in Allendale and Barnwell counties where they contribute to social, economic, and political successes; and

 

Whereas, with respect for and in recognition of the contributions our service members have made to advance the cause of peace and freedom worldwide, it is only fitting and proper that a highway in Allendale and Barnwell counties is dedicated to honor their sacrifice. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Patterson Mill Road from South Carolina Highway 125 in Allendale County to South Carolina Highway 64 in Barnwell County "Veterans Memorial Highway" and place appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
