TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION LOCATED AT THE JUNCTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 78 AND DEMING WAY IN DORCHESTER COUNTY "MAJOR ERNEST SAMUEL MOULTRIE INTERSECTION" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION THAT CONTAIN THIS DESIGNATION.

Whereas, Major Ernest Samuel Moultrie was born on May 5, 1932 in Summerville, the son of David and Molly Moultrie; and

Whereas, he is married to his childhood sweetheart, the former Geraldine Simmons, and together they have three children, eleven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren; and

Whereas, he is a faithful member of Blessed Vision Ministry; and

Whereas, Major Moultrie served his country with distinction as a member of the United States Air Force; and

Whereas, in 1968, Major Moultrie was hired as the first full-time African-American Deputy Sheriff for Dorchester County. Later, he became the first Detective Sergeant in Dorchester County. Subsequently, he rose and was promoted to the ranks of Lieutenant, Captain, Major, and ultimately to the position of Chief Deputy Sheriff of Dorchester County where he was second in command to Sheriff Carl Knight; and

Whereas, Major Moultrie retired as a full-time deputy with the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office in 1997, but has served as a part-time deputy sheriff since his retirement. He holds the honor of being the longest serving law enforcement officer in Dorchester County; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize Major Moultrie's many dedicated years of service to Dorchester County, the State of South Carolina, and the United States by having a highway intersection named in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection located at the junction of United States Highway 78 and Deming Way in Dorchester County "Major Ernest Samuel Moultrie Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location that contain this designation.

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