H. C. R. 14--"Renaming the New Martinsville Bridge that
crosses the Ohio River at New Martinsville, West Virginia, the
'Korean War Veterans' Memorial Bridge'."
Whereas
, There is no memorial to veterans of the Korean War
in Wetzel County; and
Whereas
, The people of Wetzel County would like to have a
memorial to remember and honor those veterans who took part in
the Korean War; and
Whereas
, Such a visible memorial would not only pay homage
to Korean War veterans in Wetzel County and West Virginia but to
Korean War veterans throughout the country; and
Whereas
, This memorial would show Wetzel County's and West
Virginia's appreciation to all veterans of the Korean War and the
sacrifice that they put forth for their country; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the New Martinsville Bridge that crosses the Ohio River
at New Martinsville is hereby named the "Korean War Veterans'
Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved,
That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
forward a copy of this resolution to the Governor.
