HCR 51 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

U.S. Army Roy Lee Hill Memorial Bridge

This concurrent resolution requests that West Virginia's Division of Highways rename bridge number 53-032/003.45 in Wirt County (locally known as the Peewee Pony Truss) as the "U.S. Army PFC Roy Lee Hill Memorial Bridge" and install identifying signs. It commemorates Roy Lee Hill, a WWII veteran who served in the Pacific theater, lived in the local community, and died in 1978. The bill directly affects the bridge's official designation and signage. As a naming resolution, it has no policy mechanisms beyond this commemorative request.

MODERATE

The bill was amended from an Introduced Version to a Committee Substitute version, primarily updating the historical record of the deceased veteran and correcting military award terminology. The changes reflect standard legislative refinement where committee members reviewed and improved the accuracy of the memorial's background information before final passage.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'U. S. Army' prefix from references to Roy Lee Hill in the 'Whereas' clauses to simplify the language and maintain consistency throughout the memorial text.

Corrected the spelling of 'Asiapacific' to 'Asiatic-Pacific' and 'Metal' to 'Medal' in the military awards section to use the proper official terminology.

Updated the committee reference from 'Rules' to 'Energy and public Works' and changed the date from February 19, 2025 to March 13, 2025 to reflect the actual committee reporting timeline.

Reversed the order of version labels in the header section, moving 'Committee Substitute' to the top and 'Introduced Version' to the bottom to match standard legislative formatting.
