Bill > HJR55

This joint resolution designates Kentucky Route 117 in Christian County as the "POW/MIA Trail" to honor prisoners of war (POWs) and those missing in action (MIAs). The resolution acknowledges the sacrifices of American military service members across generations and recognizes that motorcycle clubs and enthusiasts can use this scenic route to reflect on the contributions of veterans. By officially naming this route, the Transportation Cabinet will be required to erect appropriate signage within 30 days of the resolution's effective date. The designation aims to preserve military history, raise awareness about veterans' sacrifices, potentially attract regional motorcycle tourism, and provide a meaningful tribute to those who served, particularly those who were prisoners of war or remain unaccounted for during military conflicts.
