HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 11
(By Delegates A. Evans and Sponaugle)
Requesting that the bridge to be constructed on State Route 33 in
Pendleton County, West Virginia, that has been designated as
bridge number 36-33-5.93, to be named the "Pendleton County
Union Veterans Memorial Bridge".
Whereas, Many citizens of Pendleton County served in the Union
Army during the Civil War; and
Whereas, During those turbulent times Pendleton County's
allegiance was strongly divided with the northwest portion of the
county predominately supported the Union and the southeastern
portion of the county predominately supported the Confederacy; and
Whereas, Those Pendleton County veterans who served and died on
behalf of the Confederate Sates Army are also being recognized and
commemorated in a separate resolution; and
Whereas, It is fitting that an enduring memorial be established
to acknowledge and commemorate the loyalty those Pendleton County
veterans who served in the Union Army, many of whom died,
demonstrated during those trying times; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to name the bridge to be constructed on State Route 33, Pendleton County, West
Virginia, that has been designated bridge number 36-33-5.93, the
"Pendleton County Union Veterans Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Division of
Highways is hereby requested to erect signs at both ends of the
bridge containing bold and prominent letters proclaiming the bridge
the "Pendleton County Union Veterans Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of
the Division of Highways and Gene McConnell, President of the
Pendleton County Commission.
