The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to name bridge number [10-025/00-000.06] (Dunloup Creek Bridge #2) in Fayette County as the "U.S. Army Private First Class Calvin Esco Spade Memorial Bridge." This honor is proposed to commemorate Private First Class Spade's service in the United States Army during the Korean War, where he earned the National Defense Service Medal, and his subsequent eight years in the Army Reserves. After his military service, he returned to West Virginia, worked for the Chessie Railroad System, and remained connected to the community of Thurmond, where he spent time exploring and sharing stories with his family.
The resolution emphasizes the significance of establishing a lasting memorial to recognize Private First Class Spade's contributions to both the state and the country. It calls for the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge with his name and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
