THE COMMITTEE ON
INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1160) to request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at the intersection of United States Highway 1 and Interstate Highway 26 in Lexington County in honor of the men and women, etc., respectfully
REPORT:
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
ROBERT W. LEACH, SR. for Committee.
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERCHANGE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 1 AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 26 IN LEXINGTON COUNTY IN HONOR OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE 4TH INFANTRY DIVISION AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE SIGNS OR MARKERS AT THIS INTERCHANGE CONTAINING THE WORDS “4TH INFANTRY DIVISION INTERCHANGE”.
Whereas, on November 19, 1917, in the year that the United States entered World War I, the 4th Infantry Division of the United States Army was formed at Camp Green, North Carolina, to begin its long tradition of service to our country; and
Whereas, in 1918 the 4th Division’s Doughboys embarked aboard a number of ships en route to Europe and served with distinction throughout World War I; and
Whereas, as war clouds again engulfed Europe, the 4th Division was reactivated on June 1, 1940, at Fort Benning, Georgia, and ultimately was chosen as the spearhead amphibious division of the D-Day landing along the Normandy coast of France at Utah beach. The division continued the attack across France and on August 25, 1944, along with the French 2nd Armored Division, were the troops who earned the distinction of liberating Paris from four years of Nazi rule; and
Whereas, the division proceeded from its successful campaign in France and was ultimately involved in the total liberation of the European continent from German control; and
Whereas, during the Cold War, the 4th Division fought the communist in Korea and provided a shield against the communist threat in Western Europe; and
Whereas, from September 25, 1966 through December 7, 1970, the 4th Division successfully battled the communist in the central highlands of Vietnam; and
Whereas, today, the men and women of the 4th Division are leading the United States Army in the twenty-first century by busily developing and testing state-of-the-art digital communications equipment, night fighting gear, and advanced weaponry to prepare the United States Army for wars in this new millennium; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to recognize the bravery and valor of the men and women who have served and are serving in the 4th Division by naming a highway interchange in their honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at the intersection of United States Highway 1 and Interstate Highway 26 in Lexington County in honor of the men and women of the 4th Infantry Division and to erect appropriate signs or markers at this interchange containing the words “4th Infantry Division Interchange”.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
