          COMMENTS:


          Background and Purpose. The National Purple Heart Trail was  
          established in 1992 to honor the men and women of the United  
          States Armed Forces who have been wounded or killed in combat.   
          The trail includes stretches of highway across the United  
          States.  Numerous segments of California highways are designated  
          as part of the National Purple Heart Trail, including the  
          entirety of Interstate Routes 5 (I-5) and 80 (I-80), portions of  
          SR 101 in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura  
          Counties, and a portion of SR 223 in Kern County.  


          This resolution adds SR 5, SR 16, SR 20, and SR 45 in Colusa  
          County to those routes designated for inclusion in the trail. As  
          noted above, all of I-5, including the portion through Colusa  
          County, is already included as part of the trail.
