A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME the Shaws Creek Bridge on US 1 IN aiken COUNTY as the "Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE DESIGNATION.
Whereas, the Vietnam War Era Veterans of our nation have demonstrated tremendous courage, sacrifice, and dedication in the defense of freedom, justice, and democracy; and
Whereas, Aiken County Vietnam Veterans are committed to honoring and serving the men and women who have served in the armed forces of the United States of America during the Vietnam War Era; and
Whereas, Vietnam Veterans of Aiken County believes that renaming this bridge as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge will serve as a lasting tribute to the valor, sacrifice, and legacy of all military veterans, particularly those from our local community and those who served during the Vietnam War era; and
Whereas, it would be only fitting and proper to pay tribute to these veterans of South Carolina by naming a portion of a State road in their honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the Shaws Creek Bridge on US 1 in Aiken County as the "Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing the designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the Aiken County Veterans Council.
