SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 44
(By Senator Sprouse)
Requesting the Division of Highways name the recently constructed
bridge over Little Sandy Creek on Frame Road near Elkview,
Kanawha County, the "Dewey Russell Crowder Memorial Bridge".
Whereas, Dewey Russell Crowder lived on Douglas Branch off
Frame Road near Elkview at the time he joined the Army; and
Whereas, Dewey Russell Crowder was killed in action on
November 22, 1944, near the Elbe River in Germany while serving
with General George S. Patton's 3rd Army in World War II; and
Whereas, Dewey Russell Crowder was only 19 years old when he
paid the ultimate price in defense of his country; and
Whereas, Dewey Russell Crowder and others like him who made
the supreme sacrifice to preserve our country's freedoms are worthy
of our deepest gratitude and remembrance; and
Whereas, It is only fitting that the new bridge on Frame Road
near
Dewey Russell Crowder's childhood home be named in his honor;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
name the recently constructed bridge over Little Sandy Creek on
Frame Road near Elkview, Kanawha County, the "Dewey Russell Crowder
Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways cause an
appropriate sign to be placed at both ends of this bridge which
designates the bridge as the "Dewey Russell Crowder 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 Secretary of
the Department of Transportation and to the surviving family of
Dewey Russell Crowder.
