Bill > HJR21

This joint resolution designates a specific bridge in Lawrence County, Kentucky, as the "James Ishmael Tackett Memorial Bridge" in honor of a local veteran and public servant. The resolution provides background on James Ishmael Tackett, who was born in 1923, served 12 years in the United States Navy as a radioman during World War II and the Korean War, and later worked for the Internal Revenue Service. After detailing Tackett's military service, community involvement, and personal characteristics, including being described as "the most patriotic man you could have ever met," the resolution instructs the Transportation Cabinet to erect signs identifying the bridge on United States Route 23 over Blaine Creek (with bridge numbers 064B00056R and 064B00056L) as the James Ishmael Tackett Memorial Bridge within 30 days of the resolution's effective date, thereby permanently memorializing his service and contributions to his community.
