TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 278 IN ALLENDALE COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 301 TO FEED LOT ROAD "LIEUTENANT WINSTON ROBINSON, JR. HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "LIEUTENANT WINSTON ROBINSON, JR. HIGHWAY".

Whereas, Lieutenant Winston Robinson, Jr., was born in Allendale County on January 25, 1959, the son of Winston and Rosean Robinson, Sr.; and

Whereas, for twenty years he served his country with honor and distinction as a member of the United States Navy; and

Whereas, from 1999 until his death on June 26, 2009, he was a dedicated member of the Allendale County Sheriff's Department who believed in making a difference in the lives of the citizens he was employed to protect and defend; and

Whereas, he was a faithful member of St. Phillips Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to dedicate a portion of highway in Allendale County in honor of this son of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of United States Highway 278 in Allendale County from its intersection with United States Highway 301 to Feed Lot Road "Lieutenant Winston Robinson, Jr. Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this highway that contain the words "Lieutenant Winston Robinson, Jr. Highway".
