VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
To congratulate Arthur McGann upon the monumental achievement of his one hundredth birthday and to wish him much happiness in the days ahead.
Whereas, on June 18, 2024, Arthur McGann of York County will awaken to the celebration of a milestone event: his one hundredth birthday; and
Whereas, Arthur grew up in a family of twelve and was one of five siblings that served in World War II. Two siblings served in the Army, two served with the Navy, and Arthur served with the Army Air Corps. All five made it home to their family after serving this great Nation; and
Whereas, Arthur served as a waist gunner on a B-24 Liberator and went to gunnery school with the actor Clark Gable. Arthur's plane was originally ordered to Europe, but they got re-routed to the Pacific Theater. He completed forty-three missions during his time in the South Pacific and is credited with shooting down three Japanese planes while in service; and
Whereas, shortly after returning home, Arthur married the love of his life, Dorothy. They were married for seventy-eight years and have two sons, Richard and Michael. Together Arthur and Dorothy had a beautiful marriage and created countless memories together. Sadly, Dorothy passed away shortly after his ninety-ninth birthday celebration; and
Whereas, Arthur can be seen walking Springfield every day, and just about everyone stops him to have a quick chat. He is a joy to be around, and everyone appreciates the conversations they have with him; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives greatly value the service Arthur has bestowed upon this great Nation and are honored to have the opportunity to wish him a happy one hundredth birthday on June 18, 2024. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Arthur McGann upon the monumental achievement of his one hundredth birthday and wish him much happiness in the days ahead.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Arthur McGann.
