This joint resolution welcomes James A. LaCoursiere Jr., the National Commander of the American Legion, to address the South Carolina General Assembly in a joint session on March 5, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. in the Hall of the South Carolina House of Representatives. The resolution highlights LaCoursiere's background as an Air Force veteran from a military family in Honolulu, Hawaii, who was elected National Commander in August 2024 and has extensive leadership experience within the American Legion, including roles at the post, department, and national levels. It emphasizes his commitment to the American Legion's "Be the One" mission to prevent veteran suicide and notes his work as a field representative for Connecticut's Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines Fund, which provides financial assistance to veterans and their families. Additionally, the resolution invites the Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court to address the General Assembly following LaCoursiere's address and stipulates that copies of the resolution will be forwarded to both LaCoursiere and the Chief Justice.
