The memorial highlights the significance of the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award, and acknowledges the 34 recipients from Washington state. It emphasizes the state's deep gratitude for the service of these veterans and the importance of the bridge as a prominent structure along a major transcontinental highway that is viewed by millions.
The memorial calls for this designation as a means to honor and remember the Medal of Honor recipients, reflecting Washington's historical ties to its veterans and the significance of Veteran's Day. It concludes with a request for copies of the memorial to be sent to relevant state transportation officials to initiate the designation process.
