Bill > HCR76

This resolution requests that the West Virginia Division of Highways name a specific bridge on Interstate 79 in Kanawha County as the "U.S. Army PFC Charles H. Moore Memorial Bridge" to honor a local World War II soldier. The resolution provides background on Charles H. Moore, who was born in Roane County in 1921, enlisted in the U.S. Army's 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, and was killed in action on September 8, 1944, in Libin, Belgium. During his service, Moore received several military honors including a Purple Heart, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, and a Combat Infantryman Badge. The resolution specifically requests that the Division of Highways install signs identifying the bridge (located at Latitude 38.44906, Longitude -81.51358 and carrying Interstate 79 over CR 45 and Little Sandy Creek) with the memorial name, and directs the House Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Division of Highways Commissioner.
