A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE OVER THE ASHLEY
RIVER WHICH IS PART OF THE MARK CLARK EXPRESSWAY
IN CHARLESTON AS THE GENERAL WILLIAM C.
WESTMORELAND BRIDGE.
Whereas, General William Childs Westmoreland was born in
Spartanburg County on March 26, 1914; and
Whereas, after being educated in the public schools, he graduated from
United States Military Academy, West Point, and distinguished himself
with many honors; and
Whereas, his long and distinguished military record includes
Superintendent of the United States Military Academy; Commander,
United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam; and Chief of
Staff of the Army; and
Whereas, he served as Chairman of the Governor's Task Force for
Economic Growth for this State; and
Whereas, General Westmoreland has distinguished himself and his
native State in ways too numerous to mention; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, recognizing his many
accomplishments and outstanding contribution to our State, wish to
name a well- known landmark in this State in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives, concurring:
That the Department of Highways and Public Transportation is
requested to name the bridge over the Ashley River which is part of the
Mark Clark Expressway in Charleston as the General William C.
Westmoreland Bridge.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
Department of Highways and Public Transportation Commission.
