Bill > ACR16

This joint resolution designates the Feather River Bridge along State Highway Route 20, which connects the Cities of Marysville and Yuba City, as the POW/MIA Bridge to honor prisoners of war and those missing in action. The resolution highlights the significance of the POW/MIA flag, which was adopted in 1972 and symbolizes the nation's commitment to remembering service members who remain missing, with nearly 81,000 American service members still unaccounted for from various conflicts including World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The measure requests the California Department of Transportation to determine the cost of installing commemorative signs for the bridge, with the condition that the signs will only be erected if non-state donations are received to cover the expenses. The resolution was initiated by the Marysville Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 948, specifically by Past Commander Brock Bowen, and aims to pay tribute to veterans and raise awareness about those who have been lost or captured during military service, embodying the POW/MIA flag's powerful message: "YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN."
