ACR 18, as introduced, Gorell. Seabees Memorial Highway.
This measure would designate a portion of State Highway Route 1 in the County of Ventura as the Seabees Memorial Highway.

WHEREAS, Ventura County, this state, and this country owe a great debt and gratitude to all veterans of this country; and
WHEREAS, It is important to recognize the many accomplishments of the Seabees, from successes during World War II to today, and even in one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth, Antarctica; and
WHEREAS, It is appropriate to honor all Seabees who have served in this country’s Navy, both in war and in peacetime, and to pay tribute to the tremendous sacrifices the Seabees have made to maintain the strength, freedom, and independence of our country; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the signing requirements for the state highway system, showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the Department of Transportation and to the author for appropriate distribution.
