Whereas, Captain Jones has received numerous awards and commendations, including the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office Distinguished Service Award, the NAACP Community Service Image Award, and the Shady Grove Family Life Center Board of Directors ABCD Award; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the outstanding contributions this son of South Carolina has made to his community, this State, and nation by having a road in Dorchester County named in his honor. Now, therefore,
