RESOLUTION

TO congratulate and SALUTE ROY
CHOON-WOO LIM FOR HIS DEDICATED COMMUNITY SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF COLUMBIA,
TO THANK HIM FOR HIS GENEROUS DONATION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA KOREAN WAR
VETERANS MEMORIAL MONUMENT IN THAT FAIR CITY, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH CONTINUED
SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT AS HE CONTINUES TO SERVE.

W
hereas, it is with much pleasure that the South Carolina House of
Representatives recognizes those individuals who give tirelessly of themselves
to the welfare of this great state's citizenry. Having spent his life serving
others, Roy Choon-Woo Lim of Columbia exemplifies such South Carolinians; and

W
hereas, a respected Korean American community leader, Roy Choon-Woo
Lim of Columbia is an entrepreneur and philanthropist whose contributions have created
a lasting legacy in the State of South Carolina, particularly in honoring the
service and sacrifice of Korean War veterans; and

W
hereas, in 2000, while serving as the seventeenth president of the
Korean Association of Columbia, Mr. Lim made a generous, heartfelt donation:
the South Carolina Korean War Veterans Memorial monument that now stands at the
Columbia VA Health Care System. Crafted of stone sourced from Korea's revered
Naktong River, the site of a pivotal Korean War battle, the monument honors the
memory of countless soldiers who gave their lives in the war, including many
young men from South Carolina; and

W
hereas, the monument bears a simple yet profound message: "Thank You
to the People of South Carolina -- offered by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Choon-Woo Lim
and the Korean Association of Columbia"; and

W
hereas, this monument is more than a structure of stone; it is, in
addition, a symbol of gratitude, remembrance, and the enduring bond between the
people of Korea and South Carolina. It stands as a permanent tribute to the
shared sacrifice made by the brave men who fought and the freedom they sought
to bring to Korea; and

W
hereas, in 1985, Roy Choon-Woo Lim immigrated to the United States,
and in 1990 he chose Columbia as his family's permanent home. That same year,
he founded DBA Building Cleaning & Maintenance, Inc., a successful small
business that continues to support the local economy by employing many
community members; and

W
hereas, a devoted husband, father of two daughters and one son, and
proud grandfather of two, Mr. Lim has lived a life marked by hard work, family
values, and civic engagement. His unwavering commitment to veterans and the
broader community reflects the very best of immigrant contributions to our
nation, as well as the strong American spirit behind those contributions; and

W
hereas, the members of the House of Representatives recognize that
the success of the State of South Carolina, the strength of its communities,
and the vitality of American society as a whole depend, in great measure, upon
the dedication of individuals like Roy Choon-Woo Lim who use their talents and
resources to serve others. Gratefully, the House acknowledges Mr. Lim's
exceptional generosity, community leadership, and lifelong dedication to
honoring Korean War veterans, all of them greathearted contributions to the
betterment of the Palmetto State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:

That the members of the South
Carolina
House of Representatives
, by this
resolution, congratulate and salute Roy Choon-Woo Lim for his dedicated
community service to the citizens of Columbia, thank him for his generous
donation of the South Carolina Korean War Veterans Memorial monument in that
fair city, and wish him much continued success and fulfillment as he continues
to serve.

Be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be presented to Roy Choon-Woo Lim.
