U. S. Army PVT Leon ‘Deacon’ Stover Memorial Bridge
HCR 32 is a concurrent resolution naming a bridge in Raleigh County, West Virginia (Bridge Number 41-001/04-000.02, locally known as Colcord Bridge) the "U.S. Army PVT Leon 'Deacon' Stover Memorial Bridge." It requests the Division of Highways install signage identifying the bridge with this name to honor PVT Stover, a 33-year UMWA retiree and veteran who served in the U.S. Army from 1952-1954 and was active in his community. The resolution was adopted by both legislative chambers on April 12, 2025, and completed all legislative steps. This is a commemorative resolution with no policy or funding changes; it solely memorializes an individual.
