The resolution, introduced on February 17, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to rename a bridge, originally known as the Main Street Bridge, 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. The resolution highlights his bravery and sacrifice, emphasizing the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate his contributions to the state and the country.

In addition to the renaming of the bridge, the resolution calls for the installation of signs to identify the bridge as the "U.S. PFC Darrell Lee Burgess Memorial Bridge." It also directs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways, ensuring that the request is formally communicated and acted upon. This initiative reflects a commitment to honoring the legacy of veterans and recognizing their service and sacrifices.
