_______

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. 

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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,

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

That 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.

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