The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 52-250/00-009.13, known locally as Littleton Bridge, as the "Postlethwait Brothers Memorial Bridge." This bridge, located in Wetzel County and carrying US 250 over the West Virginia Fork of Fish Creek, is intended to honor the contributions and sacrifices of the Postlethwait brothers—Clarence, John Lloyd, Frank, and George—who all served in the military during World War II and other conflicts. The resolution highlights their service records and the honors they received, emphasizing the significance of commemorating their legacy.
In addition to the naming request, the resolution calls for the installation of signs to identify the bridge as the "Postlethwait Brothers Memorial Bridge." It also directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways, ensuring that the request is formally communicated and acted upon. This memorialization serves to recognize the Postlethwait brothers' dedication to their country and their lasting impact on the community.
