THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 796) to request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of Interstate Highway 95 in Jasper County from mile marker three to mile marker five, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

ROBERT W. LEACH, SR. for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95 IN JASPER COUNTY FROM MILE MARKER THREE TO MILE MARKER FIVE THE "CORPORAL MARK D. JONES HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "CORPORAL MARK D. JONES HIGHWAY".

Whereas, on February 27, 2005, Corporal Mark D. Jones tragically lost his life in the line of duty in a one-car accident along Interstate Highway 95 in Jasper County. He was thirty-four years old; and

Whereas, he was born on October 7, 1970, in DuBois, Pennsylvania, the son of Mark D. and Darlene H. Jones; and

Whereas, Corporal Jones grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina, was married to Deanna H. Jones, and was the father of four children; and

Whereas, prior to his death, he was a member of the City of Hardeeville Police Department known for his dedication, kindness, work ethic, and love for his family and community; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the South Carolina General Assembly to pay a lasting tribute to Corporal Mark D. Jones by having a portion of Interstate Highway 95 in Jasper County named in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of Interstate Highway 95 in Jasper County from mile marker three to mile marker five the "Corporal Mark D. Jones Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "Corporal Mark D. Jones Highway".

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