TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION LOCATED AT THE JUNCTURE OF NINTH STREET AND JARVIS KLAPMAN BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF WEST COLUMBIA "DANIEL WAYNE COGBURN INTERCHANGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE SIGNS OR MARKERS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THESE WORDS.
Whereas, the dedicated men and women who have chosen law enforcement as a career face extraordinary risk and danger in preserving the safety and well-being of their community; and
Whereas, on April 12, 1983, Officer Daniel Wayne Cogburn, age 29, of the West Columbia Police Department was killed in the line of duty while performing a routine traffic stop. His death brought immense sorrow and loss to his family, friends, the West Columbia Police Department, and the community; and
Whereas, Officer Cogburn was an outstanding police officer and cared deeply about making the West Columbia community a better and safer place; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be fitting and proper to forever express their deepest appreciation for Officer Cogburn who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting the citizens of West Columbia by naming a highway facility in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the intersection located at the juncture of Ninth Street and Jarvis Klapman Boulevard in the City of West Columbia "Daniel Wayne Cogburn Interchange" and erect appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
