The resolution requests the Division of Highways to name a planned bridge in Kanawha County, West Virginia, the "U.S. Army 2LT Darwin Keith 'Gus' Kyle Memorial Bridge," in honor of Darwin Keith "Gus" Kyle, a Medal of Honor recipient. Born in Kentucky and raised in West Virginia, Gus Kyle served in the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War, where he displayed extraordinary heroism. His actions during the Hungnam Evacuation and subsequent combat led to him being awarded the Soldier's Medal and a posthumous Medal of Honor for his bravery and leadership.
The resolution highlights Gus Kyle's significant contributions to his country and the state, noting that a South Charleston elementary school was previously named in his honor. It calls for the installation of signs to identify the bridge with his name and directs the Clerk of the House to forward the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways. This memorialization serves to ensure that his legacy and sacrifices are remembered and honored within the community.
