A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN CHESTER COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH PILGRIM ROAD TO THE CHESTER/UNION COUNTY LINE "MAJOR GENERAL GARY T. McCOY ROAD" AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, retired United States Air Force Major General Gary T. McCoy is a native of Chester County and was the valedictorian of Finley High School class of 1969; and
Whereas, in 1975 he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Culver-Stockton College and in 1979 earned a Master of Arts degree from the University of Redlands; and
Whereas, his military awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit with Oak Leaf Cluster, Bronze Star Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal with Silver and Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters, and Air Force Commendation with Oak Leaf Clusters; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many achievements of this distinguished son of South Carolina by having a portion of South Carolina Highway 9 named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 9 in Chester County from its intersection with Pilgrim Road to the Chester/Union County Line "Major General Gary T. McCoy Road" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
