This resolution, introduced on March 5, 2025, requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 11660, known locally as the Rock Creek bridge in Boone County, as the "U.S. Army SPC Johnny Long Memorial Bridge." The resolution honors Johnny Long, a native of Boone County, who had a significant impact on his community through his work as a skilled carpenter in bridge construction and his dedication to the United Steel Workers Union. Additionally, Long served with distinction in the Vietnam War, where he earned numerous military honors, including the U.S. Army Air Medal and the Bronze Star, reflecting his bravery and commitment to his country.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate Johnny Long's contributions both to West Virginia and the nation. It calls for the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge as the "U.S. Army SPC Johnny Long Memorial Bridge," ensuring that his legacy is recognized and remembered in the area where he was born and spent much of his life. The Clerk of the Senate is tasked with forwarding a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate this request.
