Impact

The passage of HR1110 will lead to the formal dedication of the Clyde Vernon Moore Memorial Bridge, an action which embeds the legacy of Lieutenant Moore into the fabric of local infrastructure. The bridge will serve not only as a transportation route but also as a lasting tribute to a soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Such memorials enhance community pride and acknowledge the sacrifices made by veterans within the region.

Summary

House Resolution 1110 serves as a memorial recognition for First Lieutenant Clyde Vernon Moore, honoring his sacrifice during the Vietnam War. The resolution proposes dedicating a bridge on State Route 32 over the Alapaha River in Irwin County, Georgia, in memory of Moore's commitment and bravery. This act illustrates the value placed on the lives of those who serve in the military and the importance of commemorating their contributions to the nation’s freedom and security.

Contention

While memorial recognitions, like HR1110, are generally well-received, discussions surrounding such bills can sometimes evoke differing opinions regarding the allocation of public resources for these dedications. Some may argue for the prioritization of infrastructure improvements over memorial projects, while others view these actions as essential for preserving history and honoring service members. However, the resolution underscores a collective sentiment of respect and gratitude towards military personnel.
