AI Summary
This resolution seeks to honor U.S. Army Sergeant Major Charles Grant Hoke by requesting the West Virginia Division of Highways name a specific portion of West Virginia Route 20 (stretching from the Upshur/Webster County Line to Mount Zion Road) as the "U.S. Army Sergeant Major Charles Grant Hoke Memorial Road". The resolution provides context about Hoke's significant military service, noting that he served in World War II and the Korean Conflict, was wounded twice, and was captured by North Korean forces. Hoke received numerous military awards including two Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star, and the Prisoner of War Medal, and ultimately retired as a Command Sergeant Major in 1963. The resolution also requests that the Division of Highways place signs at both ends of the road segment identifying it as the memorial road and directs the House Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Division of Highways Commissioner, thereby ensuring the formal recognition of Hoke's military contributions and local heritage.
