The 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." This tribute honors Johnny Long, a native of Boone County who had a profound connection to the land and a distinguished career as a skilled carpenter in bridge construction. He was also a dedicated member of the United Steel Workers Union and contributed significantly to the construction of numerous bridges in the area. Long's legacy is further marked by his service as a U.S. Army Specialist during the Vietnam War, where he earned multiple commendations for his bravery and skill, including the U.S. Army Air Medal and the Bronze Star.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate Johnny Long's contributions to both his community and his country. 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." Additionally, the resolution directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to facilitate the naming process.
