The designation of a portion of State Highway 345 in San Benito as the Lieutenant Milton Resendez Memorial Highway

Texas House Bill 1960 designates a section of State Highway 345 in San Benito as the Lieutenant Milton Resendez Memorial Highway. This designation honors Lieutenant Milton Resendez for his service and contributions. It serves as a way to recognize and remember his legacy within the community.

Supporters of the bill would highlight the importance of honoring local heroes like Lieutenant Milton Resendez, emphasizing that this memorial highway serves as a lasting tribute to his bravery and sacrifice.
