A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE THAT CROSSES LITTLE RIVER ALONG
UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 378 BETWEEN HUGUENOT PARKWAY AND HOLIDAY ROAD IN
MCCORMICK COUNTY "CHARLIE KIRK MEMORIAL BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS
OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THESE WORDS.

W
hereas, Charlie Kirk
was born on October 14, 1993, in Arlington Heights, Illinois, the son of Robert
and Kathryn Kirk. He was the beloved husband of Erika Kirk, and the devoted
father to their daughter and son; and

W
hereas, Mr. Kirk was
tragically martyred by assassination on September 10, 2025. He was the
preeminent voice of a generation, inspiring millions of young Americans to
engage in civic discourse, champion conservative principles, and reclaim the
foundational values of faith, family, liberty, limited government, and
individual responsibility; and

W
hereas, as the founder
and chief executive officer of Turning Point USA, Mr. Kirk led a transformative
movement on college campuses and beyond, empowering students to defend free
markets, secure borders, and traditional family structures against ideological
overreach; and

W
hereas, a vocal and
unapologetic Christian, Charlie Kirk embodied the Christian heritage that
undergirds American exceptionalism, publicly proclaiming his faith in Jesus
Christ as a guiding force in the pursuit of justice, moral clarity, and the
defense of the unborn; and

W
hereas, through
relentless persecution, cancellation attempts, smears, and his ultimate
assassination, Mr. Kirk became a martyr for truth and faith, enduring personal
and professional attacks with unwavering resolve to expose corruption,
challenge elite narratives, and uphold objective reality in the face of
censorship and cultural decay; and

W
hereas, it would be
fitting and proper for South Carolina to honor this great American by having
the bridge that crosses Little River along United States Highway 378 in
McCormick County dedicated in his memory. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the House
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of
Transportation name the bridge that crosses Little River along United States
Highway 378 between Huguenot Parkway and Holiday Road in McCormick County
"Charlie Kirk Memorial Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this
location containing these words.

B
e it further resolved that
a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
