STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM UPON BEING NAMED THE SOUTH 
CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS 2024-2025 VETERAN OF THE YEAR.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are immensely proud to recognize 
those individuals who have dedicated their lives to the defense of our nation 
and the continued welfare of our veteran community; and

Whereas, Command 
Sergeant Major (Ret.) Robert Clark has demonstrated unparalleled leadership, 
courage, and commitment throughout a distinguished military career spanning 
decades of selfless service; and

Whereas, upon his 
retirement from active duty, Command Sergeant Major Clark did not cease his 
mission but instead transitioned his vast experience and passion toward 
advocating for the veterans of the Palmetto State, ensuring that those who 
served receive the honor, care, and resources they earned; and

Whereas, his tireless 
efforts in veteran outreach, mentorship, and community engagement have made a 
profound impact on the lives of countless service members and their families 
across South Carolina; and

Whereas, in recognition 
of his outstanding contributions and his embodiment of the highest ideals of 
the "Soldier for Life" philosophy, the South Carolina Department of Veterans' 
Affairs has named him the 2024-2025 Veteran of the Year; and

Whereas, it is fitting 
and proper that the House of Representatives pause in its deliberations to 
acknowledge the lifetime of sacrifice and the continued civic excellence of 
this "Old Soldier," Robert Clark, who continues to lead the way. 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 Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Robert 
Clark for his exemplary service to the United States of America and the State 
of South Carolina and congratulate him upon being named the South Carolina 
Department of Veterans' Affairs 2024-2025 Veteran of the Year.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) 
Robert Clark.
