Bill > HCR24

This resolution requests the West Virginia Division of Highways to rename a specific bridge (bridge number 52-250/00-009.13) located in Wetzel County as the "Postlethwait Brothers Memorial Bridge" in honor of four local brothers - Clarence, John Lloyd, Frank, and George Postlethwait - who served in the military during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The bridge, which carries US 250 over the West Virginia Fork of Fish Creek and is locally known as Littleton Bridge, would be commemorated with appropriate signage. The resolution provides background on each brother's military service, noting their ranks, medals, and contributions, and highlights their service through multiple conflicts. The preamble emphasizes that establishing this memorial is a fitting way to recognize the Postlethwait brothers' sacrifices for their state and country. Additionally, the resolution directs the House Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure implementation.
