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."
