This resolution commemorates the life and distinguished public service of the Honorable Lindsey Olin Graham, a Senator representing South Carolina. Born in Central, South Carolina, he earned degrees from the University of South Carolina before embarking on a notable military career. Senator Graham served with distinction in the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corps, the South Carolina Air National Guard, and the United States Air Force Reserves, retiring as a Colonel after more than three decades and earning both the Bronze Star Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal. His legislative career began in the South Carolina House of Representatives, followed by four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was first elected to the United States Senate in 2002, where he served on numerous influential committees, including the Judiciary, Appropriations, Budget, and Armed Services Committees. Senator Graham also held leadership positions, notably as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary during the 116th Congress and Chairman of the Committee on the Budget during the 119th Congress. Throughout his career, Senator Graham was a steadfast advocate for national defense, the rule of law, and the men and women of the Armed Forces, earning respect from colleagues across the political spectrum for his candor and commitment to public service. The resolution concludes with the Senate expressing profound sorrow at his death, requesting communication of these resolutions to his family, and adjourning as a mark of respect to his memory.
