The bill, S. 432, is a Senate resolution recognizing and honoring Molly Paige Eggleston for her courageous act of saving a fellow South Carolinian's life. On January 14, 2025, while on her way to school, Molly encountered Chantry Little, who was suffering from a severe medical emergency due to a life-threatening cut on his arm. Demonstrating remarkable bravery and quick thinking, she used his belt as a tourniquet to control the bleeding until emergency medical services arrived, likely saving his life.
The resolution highlights Molly's background as a student at Laurens District 55 High School and acknowledges the personal loss she has faced, with her father having been killed in action in Afghanistan. The South Carolina Senate expresses its appreciation for her dedication and bravery in serving her fellow citizens through this resolution, which will be presented to her as a formal recognition of her actions.
