The resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to designate a section of War Ridge Road, from the intersection with Ballengee Road in Summers County to the intersection with Little Stoney Creek Road in Monroe County, as the "U.S. Army Private First Class Frank Maddy Memorial Road." This honor is in recognition of Frank Lee Maddy, a local resident who served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was killed in action in the Philippines on February 19, 1945, during the Battle of Corregidor. Maddy's military service included training as a Paratrooper and deployment with the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment in the Pacific Theater.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of commemorating Private First Class Frank Maddy's contributions to both the state of West Virginia and the nation. It calls for the installation of signs at both ends of the designated road to identify it as the memorial road in his honor. Additionally, the resolution directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate the implementation of this memorial designation.
