This resolution honors Sergeant First Class (SFC) Ogden Neil Thompson, a U.S. Army soldier from Aurora who was listed as Missing in Action during the Korean War and presumed dead on December 31, 1953. The resolution designates a segment of Route 25 in Aurora, specifically from Sullivan Road to Ashland Avenue, as the "SFC Ogden N. Thompson Memorial Highway" to recognize his military service and sacrifice. The Illinois Department of Transportation is requested to erect appropriate plaques or signs marking the highway with his name, in accordance with state and federal regulations. Additionally, the resolution calls for presenting copies of the document to SFC Thompson's family, Aurora's Mayor Richard Irvin, and the Secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation, thereby formally memorializing Thompson's service and ensuring his memory is preserved.
