AN ACT
Relating to the designation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol's airport hangar in Jefferson City as the "Greim-May Memorial Hangar".
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Whereas, in the history of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, twenty-seven officers have lost their lives in the line of duty; and
Whereas, two members of the Patrol have lost their lives in aircraft-related accidents; and
Whereas, Trooper John N. Greim was killed on July 13, 1945, while searching in a private plane for two suspects in a stolen vehicle near the Missouri-Arkansas border; and
Whereas, Sergeant David C. May was killed on May 19, 1999, while providing aerial support of an event in Poplar Bluff; and
Whereas, the presence and assistance of the Patrol's aircraft division has long provided dependable and, in many cases, urgent support for a variety of operations and has provided valuable assistance to other agencies whose resources do not include aircraft support; and
Whereas, the Missouri General Assembly recognizes the importance of the sacrifice of our officers killed in the line of duty and the tragedy shared by their families and friends; and
Whereas, several locations around the state have been dedicated in honor of our fallen heroes; and
Whereas, the hangar building in Jefferson City is used exclusively by the Patrol Aircraft Operations for housing aircraft and the division office; and
Whereas, the Missouri General Assembly finds it to be a fitting tribute to dedicate the Patrol's aircraft hangar in Jefferson City to these two dedicated officers who made the ultimate sacrifice flying for the Missouri State Highway Patrol:
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-fifth General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby declare the hangar building in Jefferson City, Missouri, used exclusively by the Missouri State Patrol shall hereinafter be known as the "Greim-May Memorial Hangar"; and
Be it further resolved that the Office of Administration be instructed to make appropriate changes to all printed material and signage to reflect this action in commemoration of these two dedicated officers of the Missouri State Highway Patrol; and
Be it further resolved that this resolution be sent to the Governor for his approval or rejection pursuant to the Missouri Constitution.
