The resolution, introduced on February 17, 2025, requests the West Virginia Division of Highways to officially name a bridge, identified by Bridge Number 10-016/00-008.68, as the "U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Darrell Lee Burgess Memorial Bridge." This request honors PFC Burgess, a West Virginia native who 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 establish a memorial in his name.

The resolution further instructs the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify 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 processed. This initiative serves to commemorate PFC Burgess's contributions to both the state of West Virginia and the nation, ensuring that his legacy is remembered by future generations.
