A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR THE UPSTATE YOUNG MARINES UNIT FOR THEIR MANY YEARS OF COMMITMENT AND 
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON BEING NAMED THE NATIONAL 
UNIT OF THE YEAR.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the 
Upstate Young Marines of Greenville were named the National Unit of the Year 
for the second time in the program's history, highlighting the members' collective 
hard work and dedication to community service, physical fitness, and living a 
drug-free lifestyle; and

Whereas, the Young 
Marines consists of units nationwide and teaches the importance of 
self-confidence, academic achievement, honoring our veterans, and promotes the 
mental, moral, and physical development of its members. These units are led by 
adult volunteers whose experience and leadership are vital to the education of 
these youth; and

Whereas, at the 2026 
Young Marines Award Banquet, the Upstate Young Marines were honored with awards 
for their leadership and mentorship. In addition to receiving the National Unit 
of the Year award, one of the unit's members, Young Marine Sergeant Major Quinn 
Lawton, was named the 2026-2027 National Young Marine of the Year, and the Unit 
Commander, Sergeant Major James Roberts Jr. (USMC, Ret.), was presented, for 
the second time, with the Distinguished Volunteer Award, which stands as the 
highest accolade bestowed upon an adult volunteer within the program. These 
historic achievements are a testament to the remarkable work and dedication 
exemplified by the Upstate Young Marines Unit and its adult volunteers; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition 
that the Upstate Young Marines have brought to their community and state. They 
look forward to following their future achievements in the years to come. 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 Upstate Young Marines Unit for 
their many years of commitment and service to the community and congratulate 
them on being named the National Unit of the Year. 

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Sergeant Major James Roberts Jr., 
United States Marine Corps, Retired.
