HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 139

(By Delegate Linville)

[Originating in the Committee on Technology and Infrastructure]

Requesting the Division of Highways to rename the portion of State Route 10 from milepost 9.10 to milepost 13.60 in Logan County, the “U. S. Army TSGT Denver E. Short Memorial Road”.

Whereas, in 2018, the portion of State Route 10 from milepost 9.10 to milepost 13.60 in Logan County was named the “U. S. Army SGT Denver E. Short Memorial Road” as a result of the adoption of Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 by the Legislature during the 2018 regular session; and

Whereas, is has since come to the attention of the Legislature that the proper military rank of Denver E. Short was Technical Sergeant, rather than Sergeant; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to rename that portion of State Route 10 to recite the proper military rank of Denver E. Short in order to properly honor him; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to rename the portion of State Route 10 from milepost 9.10 to milepost 13.60 in Logan County, the “U. S. Army TSGT Denver E. Short Memorial Road”; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is requested to have made and be placed signs identifying the road as the “U. S. Army TSGT Denver E. Short Memorial Road”; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
