A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR DORIS AND REDD REYNOLDS FOR THEIR INDEFATIGABLE WORK WITH AMERICAN LEGION POST 7 AND AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY AND TO WISH THEM MUCH CONTINUED HAPPINESS AND FULFILLMENT.
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives deem it absolutely fitting and proper to pause in their deliberations to honor two Lexington County citizens who have dedicated their lives to the betterment of their community. Doris and Redd Reynolds embody self-sacrifice and the spirit of altruism; and
Whereas, Mrs. Doris Reynolds and Mr. Redd Reynolds have been committed members of American Legion Post 7 and American Legion Auxiliary, respectively, for well over three decades, dedicating their time and talents to the cultivation of their community; and
Whereas, Mr. Reynolds, a veteran of World War II, has worked with Lexington County youth in the Boys State program as well as American Legion Post 7 baseball. Surpassing ninety years old, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have made significant contributions to the Boys and Girls State programs; and
Whereas, Post 7 has sent over thirty young men and women per year to the Boys and Girls State programs. This program allows participants to learn the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of franchised citizens. Post 7 sponsors students from Lexington, White Knoll, Gilbert, Pelion, and River Bluff high schools; and
Whereas, Mrs. Reynolds has coordinated and participated in the Girls State program, aiding in the sponsorship of three girls who have won the title of Governor within the program, and in 2017, two young women from River Bluff High School won the honor of acting as Governor and Lieutenant Governor; and
Whereas, both Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are committed to honoring the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, helping to coordinate activities and parades on Memorial Day and Veterans Day; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives of the Palmetto State are grateful for the decades of commitment Doris and Redd have exhibited and for the legacy the couple has created. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate and honor Doris and Redd Reynolds for their indefatigable work with the American Legion Post 7 and American Legion Auxiliary and wish them much continued happiness and fulfillment.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Doris Reynolds and Mr. Redd Reynolds.
