The bill, H. 4828, is a House Resolution recognizing and congratulating Colt Shope, a nurse manager at Prisma Health Baptist Easley Hospital, for establishing a new tradition to honor American veterans receiving end-of-life care. This initiative began when Shope was inspired by a previous veteran patient and a colleague's desire to honor those who served. Since February 2025, staff at Baptist Easley have draped American flags over the beds of ten veterans, a gesture that has provided comfort and recognition to both the veterans and their families during their final moments.

The resolution highlights the emotional impact of this tradition, particularly in the case of a Vietnam War veteran whose family felt he had not received the recognition he deserved upon returning from service. The House expresses its appreciation for Shope's leadership in this initiative, which is unique to Baptist Easley within the Prisma Health network, although other facilities, such as Prisma Health Oconee Memorial Hospital, are planning to adopt the tradition. The resolution concludes with a commitment to present a copy to Colt Shope in recognition of his efforts.
