Blue Star Memorial Highway Resolution
Whereas the Blue Star Memorial Highways are a tribute to the armed forces that have defended and are currently defending the Unites States of America; and
Whereas, while this originally began to honor World War II veterans, it enlarged its mission and in 1951 it was expanded to include all men and women, who had served, were serving or would serve in the armed forces of the United States;
Therefore, be it resolved that the Boone Town Council presents this request to the North Carolina Department of Transportation to honor our veterans by designating Highway 421 North from the Yadkin County Line to the Watauga County Line a Blue Star Memorial Highway and requests a marker be erected in observance of this designation.
Adopted this 16th day of October, 2012,
Loretta Clawson, Mayor

Kimberly S. Brown, Town Clerk
