Bill > SJR59

This joint resolution designates a segment of United States Route 127 in Franklin County, Kentucky, as the "Kentucky National Guard Memorial Highway" to honor the historical contributions and service of the Kentucky National Guard. The resolution begins by highlighting the Guard's long history, which dates back to 1775 when local militias were first established, and emphasizes the organization's ongoing commitment to defending Kentucky and America. It recognizes the Guard's crucial role not only in military defense but also in supporting communities during natural disasters, such as the 2021 tornadoes and 2022 flooding in Kentucky. The Transportation Cabinet is instructed to erect appropriate signage along the specified highway segment within 30 days of the resolution's effective date, marking the stretch from the intersection with US Route 60 to the intersection with Kentucky Route 1005. By creating this memorial highway, the resolution aims to publicly acknowledge and commemorate the Kentucky National Guard's service and the sacrifices of its members throughout the state's history.
