Justification
This designation, along a 34-mile stretch of our state highway system, serves as a small token of appreciation to all of our current and former United States Armed Forces services members, from all eras, including the fallen, the wounded, those unaccounted for and former prisoners of war, in humble recognition of their service, sacrifice and commitment to our Country and the defense of our freedoms.
This highway, linking the municipalities of Brighton, Henrietta, Rush, Mendon, Lima, Livonia, Canadice and Springwater, is a symbolic reminder of the cooperation and camaraderie felt by all American service members, past and present, hailing from Western New York. Resolutions in support of this legislation have been passed by the towns of Brighton, Henrietta, Rush, Mendon, Lima, Livonia, Canadice, and Springwater.
