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 Army Air Corps, where he earned his pilot's wings. He was notably promoted to Chief Air Force One Pilot by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. General Cross passed away on July 15, 2015, at the age of 90 and was laid to rest in his hometown alongside his wife, Marie Campbell Cross.

The resolution, passed by both houses of the Alabama Legislature, formally requests the Department of Transportation to implement this designation, thereby ensuring that General Cross's contributions and legacy are remembered and honored within the community. The memorial highway will begin at its intersection with U.S. Highway 29 in Covington County, serving as a lasting tribute to his service and dedication.
