The resolution, introduced on February 13, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to designate a section of Knobley Road in Mineral County as the "U.S. Marine Corps PFC Robert Thomas Taylor Memorial Road." This section begins at the intersection of U.S. Route 50 and W.V. Route 9 and ends at the intersection of W.V. Route 9 and W.V. Route 18. The resolution honors PFC Robert Thomas Taylor, a Marine Corps veteran from West Virginia who was born on May 2, 1950, and tragically lost his life in combat in Vietnam on May 12, 1969.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of commemorating PFC Taylor's contributions and sacrifices for the state and country. It calls for the installation of signs at both ends of the designated road to identify it as a memorial to Taylor. Additionally, the resolution instructs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate the naming process.
