HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 99

(By Delegates Eldridge, Maynard, Romine, R., Romine, C., Hornbuckle, Miller, C., Miller, R., Rodighiero, Marcum, Atkinson and Storch)

[Introduced March 23, 2017]

 

Requesting the Division of Highways to erect signs at US Route 119 (38.000000, -81.896312), US Route 52 (38.000000, -82.497784), US Route 19 (38.000000, -81.142790), US Route 60 (38.000000, -80.752096; 38.000000, -80.736475; 38.000000, -80.878236) and US Route 219 (38.000000, -80.364615) designating that the motorist is crossing the 38th parallel north in honor of the Veterans of the Korean War and particularly in memory of the thousands who died in the pursuit of freedom for all mankind.

Whereas, The 38th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 38 degrees north of the earth’s equatorial plane; and

Whereas, The 38th parallel north has been especially important in recent history as the dividing line between the countries of North and South Korea; and

Whereas, The military struggle fought on the Korean Peninsula began in 1950 with the invasion of North Korea crossing the 38th parallel into South Korea; and

Whereas, The 38th parallel was the place where the cease-fire was called that effectively ended the Korean War in July 1953, after more than three years of the conflict; and

Whereas, As a fitting tribute to those who fought against communist aggression in Korea, and especially the thousands who were killed, a sign designating that the motorist is crossing the 38th parallel north should be erected on US Route 119, US Route 52, US Route 19, US Route 60 and US 219; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the Secretary of the Department of Transportation is hereby requested to erect signs on US Route 119 (38.000000, -81.896312), US Route 52 (38.000000, -82.497784), US Route 19 (38.000000, -81.142790), US Route 60 (38.000000, -80.752096; 38.000000, -80.736475; 38.000000, -80.878236) and US Route 219 (38.000000, -80.364615) designating that the motorist is crossing the 38th parallel north in honor of the Veterans of the Korean War and particularly in memory of the thousands who died in the pursuit of freedom for all mankind; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Division of Highways is hereby requested to have signs containing bold and prominent letters erected on US Route 119, US Route 52, US Route 19, US Route 60 and US Route 219, designating to motorist that they are crossing the 38th parallel north in honor of the Veterans of the Korean War; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation.
