The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name Bridge Numbers 26-002/00-018.04, known locally as Lindsey Bridge, as the "U.S. Army SP4 Kermit Harold Yoho Memorial Bridge." This bridge, which carries WV 002 over Big Grave Creek in Marshall County, is being designated in honor of SP4 Kermit Harold Yoho, a West Virginia native who served in the Army during the Vietnam War. Yoho, who was born on February 17, 1945, in Moundsville, enlisted in the Army and tragically lost his life just one week before completing his tour in Vietnam due to mortar fire.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to honor SP4 Yoho's sacrifice for his state and country. It also includes a directive for the Division of Highways to create and install signs that identify the bridge with its new name. Additionally, the resolution instructs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure proper implementation.
