Bill > HJR0041

This resolution honors Michael Kent Fultz and David Roy Mann, two young soldiers from Illinois who were killed during the Vietnam War in 1969, by designating a section of Illinois US Route 34 (from 12th Road to 14th Road) as the Michael Kent Fultz and David Roy Mann Memorial Highway. The resolution provides background on each soldier, noting that Fultz was a U.S. Army specialist who was wounded and died in action, while Mann was a clerk typist killed during an enemy rocket attack, both at the young ages of 20 and 21. The Illinois Department of Transportation is requested to erect appropriate plaques or signs marking the highway, and copies of the resolution will be presented to the families of Fultz and Mann and the Secretary of Transportation, recognizing these young men's ultimate sacrifice for their country and ensuring their service and memory are commemorated.
