The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name Bridge Number 32-122/00-008.20, known locally as Indian Creek Bridge in Monroe County, as the "U.S. Army PFC Robert F. Mann Memorial Bridge." This request honors PFC Robert F. Mann, a West Virginia native who served in World War II. Mann was drafted in 1942, trained in tank warfare, and fought valiantly in significant battles, including the Battle of the Bulge. Tragically, he lost his life on March 10, 1945, when his tank struck a German anti-tank mine.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to commemorate PFC Mann's sacrifice for his state and country. It also includes provisions for the Division of Highways to create and install signs identifying the bridge with its new name. Additionally, the resolution instructs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways to ensure the request is formally acknowledged and acted upon.
