REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THAT PORTION OF HIGHWAY 421 IN AIKEN COUNTY BETWEEN LEE DRIVE AND DIXIE CLAY ROAD AS THE KOREAN WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO HONOR SOUTH CAROLINA'S KOREAN WAR VETERANS.
Whereas, more than fifty years have passed since the United States led the United Nation's effort to halt the North Korean invasion of South Korea; and
Whereas, in that bitter conflict, characterized at first by retreat, then advance, and after massive Chinese intervention, finally stalemate, leading to an armistice that holds today only with a strong American military presence, the armed forces of the United States were put to a terrible test; and
Whereas, the men and women of our armed forces met that test, fighting in harsh terrain and extremes of weather, in battles and actions the names of which reverberate fifty years later; and
Whereas, it is appropriate to honor the service and sacrifice of South Carolinians who served the nation in that war with such valor and distinction. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation to name that portion of Highway 421 in Aiken County between Lee Drive and Dixie Clay Road as the South Carolina Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway, and install appropriate markers or signs on that portion of the highway containing the words "South Carolina Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway" to honor the service and sacrifice of South Carolinians who served in that war.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
