A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE WORLD WAR II VETERANS OF NORTH CHARLESTON'S MT. MORIAH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH UPON THE OCCASION OF MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 31, 2010, AND TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR SACRIFICIAL SERVICE IN THE GREAT CAUSE OF FREEDOM.

Whereas, on the occasion of Memorial Day, May 31, 2010, it is especially appropriate to express gratitude to the men and women who courageously answer our country's call to military duty when the cause of freedom demands it; and

Whereas, among these men and women are many brave African Americans who in the past paid the price of enduring segregation, bigotry, and injustice within their own ranks in order to serve in that great global conflict we call World War II; and

Whereas, cognizant of their great sacrifices, the House of Representatives wishes to express its grateful thanks to these servicemen and women to whom this great State and nation owe so much. May we, the citizens of South Carolina, never forget the legacy they have bequeathed to us, and may we ever proudly teach their deeds and strive to instill their character in the next generation. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the World War II veterans of North Charleston's Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church upon the occasion of Memorial Day, May 31, 2010, and thank them for their sacrificial service in the great cause of freedom.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church.
