The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name a bridge, known locally as Etam Bridge and located in Preston County, West Virginia, as the "Clinton 'Randy' Dean 101st Airborne Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge." This naming honors Clinton "Randy" Dean, a local veteran who served in the Vietnam War with the 101st Airborne Division and was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries sustained during his service. Dean, who was born in 1946 and passed away in 2001 due to health issues related to his military service, is remembered for his contributions to both his country and his community.
In addition to the naming request, the resolution calls for the erection of signs that prominently display the bridge's new name. It emphasizes the importance of commemorating Dean's legacy and contributions to Preston County and West Virginia. The resolution has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Public Works and then to Rules for further consideration.
