Bill > SJR105

This joint resolution designates a specific section of U.S. Route 460 West in Menifee County, Kentucky, from mile marker 7.1 to mile marker 8.4, as the "Gary Lee Egelston Memorial Highway" to honor his service and contributions. The resolution outlines Gary Lee Egelston's life, including his birth in Ohio, his move to Kentucky where he developed a love for his community and helping others, his graduation from Menifee County High School, and his distinguished military service in the Vietnam War, where he received numerous medals for his valor and dedication. It also notes his return to Frenchburg, his family life with his wife Joanne Combs, his commitment to the Menifee County Volunteer Fire Department as Fire Chief, and his membership in Fellowship Christian Assembly. The designation serves as a tangible public recognition for his service to his country, community, and family, and requires the Transportation Cabinet to erect appropriate signage within 30 days of the resolution's effective date.
