Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system as the "Marine Lance Corporal James J. Jackowski Memorial Highway"
Purpose
Designates a portion of the state highway system, in the town of Lewisboro, county of Westchester, as the "Marine Lance Corporal James J. Jackowski Memorial Highway."
Summary of provisions
Section one of the bill amends the highway law by adding a new section 344-e that designates all that portion of the state highway system constituting state route thirty-five in the town of Lewisboro, county of Westchester, beginning at the intersection of state route thirty-five and state route one hundred twenty-four, and terminating at the intersection of state route thirty-five and Ridgefield Avenue, shall be designated and known as the "Marine Lance Corporal James J. Jackowski Memorial Highway."
Section two states the commissioner of transportation shall provide for the installation of appropriate signage, and that the designation pursuant to section one of this act shall be of a ceremonial nature.
Section three contains the effective date.
Justification
Marine Lance Corporal James J. Jackowski, 20, was one of the 239 Marines tragically killed in the Beirut, Lebanon barracks bombings on October 23, 1983. Corporal Jackowski enlisted in the Marines during his senior year at John Jay High School, located in the Katonah-Lewisboro School District.
Following his desired career path, Corporal Jackowski became a cook within the Marines, a passion and skill he developed while in high school. Through his talent of cooking and duties as a Marine, Corporal Jackowski shared his fun-loving and compassionate nature with everyone he came in contact with. He genuinely cared about the emotions and well-being of others and showed this throughout his daily life.
New York State Route 35 runs directly past Corporal Jackowski's family home while he attended high school, and at the time of his tragic death. Dedicating this section of state highway will ensure that Marine Lance Corporal James J. Jackowski's heroic sacrifice is honored for all time.
