SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 4
(By Senators Cann and Yost)
Requesting the Division of Highways to name the new bridge that
will cross West Fork of the Monongahela River at Shinnston the
"Veterans Memorial Bridge".
Whereas, Shinnston veterans have served our great nation
honorably and notably in times of conflict, times of war and times
of peace; and
Whereas, Shinnston veterans have been wounded in times of
conflict and been held as prisoners of war, while others have made
the supreme sacrifice for their state and country; and
Whereas, Shinnstonians have always answered the call of duty
to serve in our nation's military; and
Whereas, Shinnston veterans have served in many capacities in
the military including guarding the President of the United States
and serving with the original Tuskegee Airmen; and
Whereas, Shinnston has many decorated veterans who have been
the recipients of many military honors including the Purple Heart,
the Bronze Star, the Silver Star and the Congressional Gold Medal;
and
Whereas, Many Shinnston veterans have returned from serving
our country to serve their communities as members of the West
Virginia House of Delegates, and as mayors and councilmen; and
Whereas, Shinnston veterans also return from duty to serve the
community as volunteers, mentors, philanthropists, coaches and
teachers; and
Whereas, It is fitting to recognize the service and sacrifice
of Shinnston veterans by naming this bridge in their honor;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to name the
new bridge that will cross West Fork of the Monongahela River at
Shinnston the "Veterans Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is hereby
requested to have made and be placed signs identifying the bridge
as the
"Veterans Memorial Bridge"; 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.
