AI Summary

This resolution honors U.S. Army Private First Class (PFC) Frank Lee Maddy by requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways to rename a specific portion of War Ridge Road as the "U.S. Army PFC Frank Maddy Memorial Road". The resolution provides extensive background on Maddy's life and military service, noting that he was born in 1924 in Monroe County, enlisted in the military in 1943, and served with the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Specifically, Maddy was killed in action on February 19, 1945, during a charge against Japanese forces at Corregidor in the Philippines. The resolution requests that the Division of Highways place identifying signs at both ends of the road segment, which stretches from the intersection of War Ridge Road and Ballengee Road in Summers County to the intersection of War Ridge Road and Little Stoney Creek Road in Monroe County. The resolution also directs the House Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways, ensuring that the memorial road designation is properly communicated and implemented.
