The resolution, introduced on February 17, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to rename a bridge located at Bridge Number 10-016/00-008.68 as the "U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Darrell Lee Burgess Memorial Bridge." PFC Burgess, a West Virginia native born on December 30, 1923, served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. He was killed in action on December 16, 1943, while heroically providing cover fire for his fellow Marines during the Bougainville Campaign in New Guinea. His actions exemplified bravery and sacrifice, making it fitting to honor his memory with a dedicated memorial.

The resolution further instructs the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge as the "U.S. PFC Darrell Lee Burgess Memorial Bridge." Additionally, it directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure the request is formally acknowledged and acted upon. This memorial serves to commemorate PFC Burgess's contributions to both the state of West Virginia and the nation.
