           ANALYSIS  :    By naming a portion of State Highway Route 
          (SR) 1 for Vietnam veterans, this resolution seeks to 
          express the gratitude and appreciation of the residents of 
          Santa Barbara County for the sacrifices that all service 
          members, especially those from local communities, made for 
          their country in Vietnam.  This resolution also seeks to 
          create a veterans recognition corridor that hopefully will 
          link the various local veterans museums and memorials and 
          become an ongoing memorial for veterans and their families.

           Guadalupe's contributions to the Vietnam War  .  According to 
          the author's office, 220 young men and women from the City 
          of Guadalupe served their country in the Vietnam War, three 
          of whom gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives.

          This resolution designates the portion of SR 1 in the City 
          of Guadalupe as the "Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway."  
          This resolution further requests the Department of 
          Transportation to erect appropriate signs only upon 
          receiving donations from non-state sources sufficient to 
          cover the cost.
