A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

RECOGNIZING THE HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DOOLITTLE RAIDERS AND THEIR HEROIC MISSION, WELCOMING THEM TO COLUMBIA UPON THE OBSERVANCE OF THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS VICTORY, AND CONGRATULATING TRUSTUS THEATER FOR ITS NATIONAL RECOGNITION AND FOR ITS PRESENTATION OF A WORLD PREMIER OF INTO THE YONDER ZONE WHICH IS A UNIQUE RECOGNITION OF THE DOOLITTLE RAIDERS.

Whereas, on April 18, 1942, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle and his Raiders, in a bombing mission waged on Japan against astounding odds, brought about the psychological turning point of World War II by giving our nation the confidence it needed to win the war; and

Whereas, the Doolittle Raiders began their training in Columbia, South Carolina, and the remaining Doolittle Raiders have chosen to observe the fiftieth anniversary of this great victory in Columbia, South Carolina; and

Whereas, in recognition of this reunion, Trustus Theater, Columbia's professional theater, will present the world premiere of Into the Yonder Zone, Trustus playwright-in-residence Doug Williams' new play which was inspired by the Doolittle mission; and

Whereas, Trustus Theater has further honored Columbia and South Carolina by becoming the only theater in the southeast to receive a National Endowment for the Arts grant and be accepted into the prestigious National Endowment for the Arts Advancement Program. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly recognize the historic significance of the Doolittle Raiders and their heroic mission, welcome them to Columbia upon the observance of the fiftieth anniversary of this victory, and congratulate Trustus Theater for its national recognition and for its presentation of a world premiere of Into the Yonder Zone which is a unique recognition of the Doolittle Raiders.
