[3722-1]

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF CANNONS CAMPGROUND ROAD IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 110 TO DRAYTON AVENUE “LANCE CORPORAL TRAVIS FOX MEMORIAL HIGHWAY”, AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS “LANCE CORPORAL TRAVIS FOX MEMORIAL HIGHWAY”.

Whereas, Lance Corporal Travis Fox served his country with great honor and dignity as a United States Marine; and

Whereas, he distinguished himself as a member of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii; and

Whereas, while bravely serving his country outside Fallujah, Iraq, he along with six other Marines were tragically slain by a car bomb; and

Whereas, the twentyfive year old Marine leaves his bride Casie to mourn his loss; and

Whereas, it is both fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina to name a portion of Cannons Campground Road in Spartanburg County in honor of this outstanding and distinguished son of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of Cannons Campground Road in Spartanburg County, from its intersection with South Carolina Highway 110 to Drayton Avenue “Lance Corporal Travis Fox Memorial Highway” and to erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words “Lance Corporal Travis Fox Memorial Highway”.

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