A house RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR HERBERT LAVANDER "HERB" JONES, ASSISTANT TO THE SERGEANT-AT-ARMS OF THE south carolina HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT spanning twenty-four YEARS OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE, AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper that the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina should pause in their deliberations to express their gratitude to Herb Jones for his significant contributions to the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, in 1999, he earned a bachelor's from Lander University, graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Police Academy in 2000, and began his employment with the House Security in January of that year; and
Whereas, a member of the United States Army Reserve, Sergeant Jones was deployed for five hundred forty-five days of active duty to Iraq with the Army Reserve in December 2003; and
Whereas, he returned stateside and was promoted to Assistant to the Sergeant-at-Arms in January 2006,
and when he had been a member of the Army Reserve for twenty years, he was deployed again to Afghanistan in May 2013 for four hundred days; and
Whereas, the members are certain that Herb Jones will continue, even in his retirement, his patriotic devotion to and protection of the Palmetto State and to our nation as he always had; and
Whereas, Mr. Jones plans to spend many happy hours of retirement with his wife of twenty-four years, Janel, who he began dating in high school and their children, Herbert, Jr., Morgan, and Olivia, regaling them with his generous humor and his winsome charm; and
Whereas, grateful for his many years of distinguished and dedicated service to House of Representatives, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending best wishes to Herb Jones as he transitions to a richly deserved retirement and the leisurely pace of the days ahead, and although the members will miss his infectious smile, they wish him many years of enjoyment in his well-earned retirement. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Herbert Lavander "Herb" Jones, Assistant to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives, upon the occasion of his retirement spanning twenty-four years of exemplary service, and wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Herbert Lavandar "Herb" Jones.
