The resolution honors the memory of General Underwood Cross by designating a two-mile section of State Highway 137 in Covington County as the General Underwood Cross Memorial Highway. General Cross, born on April 25, 1925, in Covington County, served in the United States Army and later the U.S. Air Force, where he achieved notable recognition as the Chief Air Force One Pilot, appointed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. He passed away on July 15, 2015, at the age of 90 and was laid to rest in his hometown alongside his wife.

The resolution calls for the Alabama Department of Transportation to officially mark this highway segment in honor of General Cross's contributions and legacy. The designation serves as a tribute to his service and dedication to the country, ensuring that his memory will be preserved in the community he called home.
