Clemmer Brothers WWII Veterans Memorial Bridge
If enacted, this resolution serves to commemorate the Clemmer brothers by renaming a local bridge, adding to the landscape of memorials dedicated to military service members. It acts as a reminder of the contributions of local veterans to the state and nation, which may encourage further initiatives aimed at recognizing and honoring veterans' contributions in various forms, solidifying their legacy within local history.
House Concurrent Resolution 95 (HCR95) requests the Division of Highways to name bridge number (10815), which carries CR 52 over Blue Creek in Kanawha County, as the Clemmer Brothers WWII Veterans Memorial Bridge. This resolution highlights the contributions of the Clemmer brothers, who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, honoring their legacy and the sacrifices made by veterans throughout history. The recognition is seen as an enduring memorial for their service, providing a tangible symbol of appreciation in the community.
The sentiment surrounding HCR95 is largely positive, reflecting a community-oriented approach to honoring veterans. Delegates sponsoring the resolution emphasized pride in local history and service. This suggests a unifying sentiment regarding the recognition of veterans, indicating that community members appreciate having memorials that acknowledge the sacrifices made by individuals in wartime service.
While there does not appear to be significant contention surrounding HCR95, considerations may arise regarding the financial implications of signage and modifications required to implement the name change. Furthermore, discussions could be raised about the criteria for naming public structures after individuals and how that aligns with broader policies regarding memorials and local history.
