The bill H. 5664 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly, which requests the Department of Transportation to designate a section of Patterson Mill Road, extending from South Carolina Highway 125 in Allendale County to South Carolina Highway 64 in Barnwell County, as "Veterans Memorial Highway." The resolution emphasizes the importance of honoring the contributions and sacrifices made by veterans, particularly as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary. It highlights the significant role that veterans play in their communities and the workforce, particularly in Allendale and Barnwell counties, where over 1,600 veterans reside.
The resolution calls for the installation of appropriate signs or markers along the designated highway to commemorate this honor. It reflects the state's commitment to recognizing the service and dedication of its veterans, ensuring that their legacy is acknowledged and celebrated within the community. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation to facilitate the implementation of this designation.
