The resolution, introduced on March 5, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 11200, known locally as Basnettville Bridge, as the "U. S. Marine Corps PVT Arlie Haught Memorial Bridge." This naming honors PVT Arlie Haught, a Marion County native who enlisted in the Marine Corps during World War I and was killed in action on June 7, 1918, making him the first servicemember from the county to lose his life in the war. Haught was recognized for his service with several awards, including the Victory Medal and various clasps.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate PVT Haught's contributions to both the state and the nation. It further instructs the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify the bridge with its new name and directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
