Bill > SJR0006

This resolution honors Sgt. Dan G. Feezell, a U.S. Army soldier from the 101st Airborne Division who was killed in action in South Vietnam on August 12, 1970, by designating the West Baltimore Street Bridge over Forked Creek in Wilmington, Illinois, as the "Sgt. Dan G. Feezell Memorial Bridge". The resolution, passed by the Illinois General Assembly, requests the Illinois Department of Transportation to erect appropriate plaques or signs at suitable locations to mark the bridge's new name, in compliance with state and federal regulations. Additionally, the resolution calls for presenting copies of the document to Sgt. Feezell's family, the Mayor of Wilmington, and the Secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation, as a way of recognizing and memorializing the soldier's service and sacrifice during the Vietnam War.
