The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 34-001/00-006.32, known locally as Birch River Bridge in Nicholas County, as the "U. S. Army Spec. 4 Gary W. Spinks Memorial Bridge." This request is made in honor of Specialist Gary W. Spinks, a Vietnam War veteran who served with distinction, earning multiple military awards including a Bronze Star and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. The resolution highlights his life, including his struggles with health issues related to his service, his work as a coal truck driver, and his family life, emphasizing the impact he had on those around him.

The resolution further states that the widow of Specialist Spinks has requested this memorial naming so that she can see a tribute to her late husband whenever she drives to Birch River. It concludes by directing the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge with its new name and instructs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways. This act aims to establish a lasting memorial to honor Specialist Spinks's contributions to both the state and the country.
