A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERCHANGE LOCATED AT EXIT 27 ALONG INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 85 IN ANDERSON COUNTY "LANCE CORPORAL JONATHAN SHEA NASH INTERCHANGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERCHANGE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "LANCE CORPORAL JONATHAN SHEA NASH INTERCHANGE".

Whereas, Lance Corporal Jonathan Shea Nash was born on June 1, 1968, in Bradenton, Florida, the son of Dan and George Ann Nash of Anderson, South Carolina; and

Whereas, a graduate of Lander College, he served his country with honor and great distinction as a United States Marine from 1986 to 1993 and during Operation Desert Storm; and

Whereas, he joined the South Carolina Highway Patrol in 1994, and was assigned to the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement Team's Region III Motorcycle Unit; and

Whereas, Lance Corporal Nash was a member of Oakwood Baptist Church; and

Whereas, Lance Corporal Nash tragically lost his life on September 19, 2009, while escorting a charity ride in Camden in honor of Trooper Hardy M. Godbold who was killed in the line of duty in 1992; and

Whereas, Lance Corporal Nash, who is survived by his parents and daughter Andrea, was an excellent trooper and was well-loved by all who knew him; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name the interchange located at Exit 27 along Interstate Highway 85 in Anderson County the "Lance Corporal Jonathan Shea Nash Interchange" as a lasting memorial to this fallen trooper. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at Exit 27 along Interstate Highway 85 in Anderson County "Lance Corporal Jonathan Shea Nash Interchange" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this interchange that contain the words "Lance Corporal Jonathan Shea Nash Interchange".

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