TO NAME U.S. HIGHWAY 17-A IN BERKELEY COUNTY FROM AIRPORT DRIVE TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH U.S. HIGHWAY 176 "VETERANS BOULEVARD" IN HONOR OF THE VETERANS WHO HAVE SERVED IN DEFENSE OF THIS GREAT STATE.

Whereas, for nearly three centuries, thousands of United States soldiers and citizens of this State have dedicated their lives to fighting for the freedom of South Carolinians; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to name a stretch of U.S. Highway 17-A in Berkeley County "Veterans Boulevard" in honor of the distinguished citizens of the Palmetto State who have served in defense of this country. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name U.S. Highway 17-A in Berkeley Country from Airport Drive to its intersection with U.S. Highway 176 "Veterans Boulevard" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this boulevard that contain the words "Veterans Boulevard".

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