Memorials, Recognition - Historical marker honoring WWII Veteran Russell LeRoy Pickett -

This bill authorizes the State of Tennessee to dedicate a historical marker honoring World War II veteran Russell LeRoy Pickett at Veterans Park in Soddy-Daisy. The resolution recognizes Pickett's service as one of the first soldiers to land on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. It formally acknowledges his legacy and bravery, noting that he was considered one of the last surviving members of that historic group at the time of his death in 2020. The measure directs the preparation of a copy of the resolution for presentation alongside the marker's dedication ceremony.
