HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 26
(By Mr. Speaker, Mr. Thompson, and Delegates Perdue and Kominar)
Requesting the Division of Highways name the section of U. S. Route
52 between mile marker 16.59 and mile marker 55.15 be named
the "Vietnam Veterans Highway".
Whereas, The Vietnam Veteran served his country with great
honor and distinction during a time when many were dishonoring them
here in this country; and
Whereas, The Vietnam Veteran fought the enemy with as much
vigor and heroism as did our World War II veterans -- or any other
veteran in our great Nation's history; and
Whereas, U. S. Route 52 runs through southern West Virginia, an
area of many Vietnam Veterans; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
to name the section of U. S. Route 52 between mile marker 16.59 and
mile marker 55.15 the "Vietnam Veterans Highway"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is requested
to have made and be placed signs identifying the section of U. S.
Route 52 between mile marker 16.59 and mile marker 55.15 as the
"Vietnam Veterans Highway"; 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.
