Bill > HCR78

This Concurrent Resolution, titled the "Almond Brothers and Family Veterans Bridge," is a formal expression from the West Virginia Legislature honoring six brothers from Raleigh County—John William, Levi Garfield, Richard Ray, Frederick Lee, Robert Loren, and Gerald Ross Almond—all of whom served in the United States Armed Forces across various branches and conflicts, including World War II and the Korean War. The resolution requests that a specific bridge in Raleigh County, identified by its location on WV State Route 16 where it crosses Whitestick Creek, be officially named the "Almond Brothers and Family Veterans Bridge" to recognize their collective military service and a family tradition of service to the country. The Legislature also requests that appropriate signage be installed to identify the bridge with its new name and that a certified copy of this resolution be sent to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation.
