these mountains forever; and

name the entire I-64 corridor in memory of all West Virginians who have served so valiantly in all
wars, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways to name I-64 the "Purple
Heart Trail" and to erect signage as it deems appropriate in all rest areas facilities on the designated
highway; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House is hereby to forward a copy of this resolution
to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways, the Secretary of the Department of
Transportation, the Director of Veterans Affairs, the Secretary of the Department of Military Affairs
and Public Safety and the Governor of the State of West Virginia.
