Bill > HCR14

This resolution requests the West Virginia Division of Highways to rename a specific bridge on Interstate 77 in Raleigh County as the "U.S. Navy S1c Curtis Hatcher Memorial Bridge" in honor of a local veteran. The resolution provides background on Curtis Hatcher, who was born in Beckley, West Virginia in 1926, joined the United States Navy on December 26th, 1944, and served in World War II, attaining the rank of Seaman 1st Class (S1c). Hatcher was honorably discharged on July 9th, 1946, and lived peacefully until his death on November 1st, 2013. The resolution specifically asks the Division of Highways to not only rename the bridge (identified by its technical bridge number and geographic coordinates) but also to create and install signs identifying the bridge with its new commemorative name. Additionally, the resolution directs the House Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure proper implementation.
