Summary

SCR26 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution aimed at designating a segment of County Route 20/Spring Creek Station Road in Greenbrier County as the 'U.S. Army Private Clarence William “Buck” Holliday Memorial Road.' This resolution serves to honor the memory of Private Holliday, a soldier from Greenbrier County who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War II. The legislation highlights his service in the 104th Infantry Division and the historical significance of his contributions. The resolution is part of a broader effort to recognize veterans and important historical figures in state history.

Contention

There are no significant points of contention related to SCR26 based on the current discussions and legislative intent.
