H. 5587
To congratulate  Arthur McGann upon
the monumental achievement of his one hundredth birthday and to wish him much
happiness in the days ahead.
Whereas, on June 18, 2024, Arthur McGann of York County will awaken
to the celebration of a milestone event: his one hundredth birthday; and
Whereas, Arthur grew up in a family of twelve and was one of five
siblings that served in World War II. Two siblings served in the Army, two
served with the Navy, and Arthur served with the Army Air Corps. All five made
it home to their family after serving this great Nation; and
Whereas, Arthur served as a waist gunner on a B-24 Liberator and went
to gunnery school with the actor Clark Gable. Arthur's plane was originally
ordered to Europe, but they got re-routed to the Pacific Theater. He completed
forty-three missions during his time in the South Pacific and is credited with
shooting down three Japanese planes while in service; and
Whereas, shortly after returning home, Arthur married the love of his
life, Dorothy. They were married for seventy-eight years and have two sons,
Richard and Michael. Together Arthur and Dorothy had a beautiful marriage and
created countless memories together. Sadly, Dorothy passed away shortly after
his ninety-ninth birthday celebration; and
Whereas, Arthur can be seen walking Springfield every day, and just
about everyone stops him to have a quick chat. He is a joy to be around, and
everyone appreciates the conversations they have with him; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives
greatly value the service Arthur has bestowed upon this great Nation and are
honored to have the opportunity to wish him a happy one hundredth birthday on
June 18, 2024. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South
Carolina House of Representatives, by this
resolution, congratulate Arthur McGann upon the monumental achievement of his
one hundredth birthday and wish him much happiness in the days ahead.
Be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be presented to Arthur McGann.
