Bill > H4121

This joint resolution requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation to place commemorative markers along Cedarcrest Drive in Lexington County to honor local veterans, specifically recognizing the contributions of VFW Lexington Post 8738. The resolution highlights the post's significant community achievements, including completing over 3,100 community service hours, donating nearly $43,000 to local veterans and their families, and awarding $1,030 in scholarships over the past five years. The VFW, a nonprofit veterans service organization with over 1.4 million members, traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection began organizing to secure rights and benefits for service members. The specific markers would be placed between the 220th and 460th blocks of Cedarcrest Drive and would read "Dedicated in the Honor of the Veterans of Lexington County." The resolution also stipulates that a copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation to ensure implementation.
