US Marine Corps PVT Arlie Haught Memorial Bridge
The resolution invokes a sense of pride and remembrance for local veterans in Marion County. Naming the bridge after PVT Arlie Haught not only serves as a tribute to his memory but also provides an opportunity for community engagement in recognizing the sacrifices made by servicemen and women. The recognition can help in educating current and future residents about local history and the contributions of veterans, thereby strengthening community ties.
SCR17 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution introduced to honor and memorialize U.S. Marine Corps PVT Arlie Haught by naming a bridge in Marion County after him. This resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially designate bridge number 11200, known locally as Basnettville Bridge, as the 'U. S. Marine Corps PVT Arlie Haught Memorial Bridge'. The resolution is intended to ensure that future generations remember Haught's sacrifice and contributions to his country during World War I.
The sentiment around SCR17 is predominantly positive, with an emphasis on honoring veterans and showing respect for their sacrifices. Lawmakers and community members appear to support the initiative as a fitting way to acknowledge the bravery of those who served in the armed forces. The sentiment reflects a community valuing its history and the importance of memorializing those who have contributed significantly to it.
There does not appear to be significant contention surrounding this resolution. However, discussions may arise regarding the allocation of state resources for signage and maintenance. The resolution suggests a cooperative approach from the Division of Highways, which may be perceived positively. Overall, the passage of SCR17 seems encouraged by the community rather than contested.
