Bill > S0729

This bill requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) designate the intersection of South Carolina Highway 34 and McGee Town Road in Lee County as the "Lewis W. Boone Memorial Intersection" in honor of Lewis W. Boone, a World War I veteran from Lee County. The bill provides background on Boone's military service, noting that he served as a private first class in Company M, 118th Infantry, 30th Division of the Army, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart for his bravery during a mission on October 11, 1918, in Vaux-Andigny, France, where he carried an important message through an artillery and machine gun barrage while being wounded. The resolution calls for the DOT to erect appropriate markers or signs at the intersection to commemorate Boone's heroic service, and also requires that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the DOT and presented to Boone's family.
