JUSTIFICATION:

Lance Corporal Aaron M. Swanson served his nation in Afghanistan
assigned to the United States Marine's 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regi-
ment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, Buffalo, New York.
Lance Corporal Swanson tragically lost his life in service to our coun-
try on February 7, 2011 while conducting combat operations in Garmsir
District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Lance Corporal Swanson was a native of Lakewood, New York, a graduate of
Southwestern High School in Jamestown, and attended Jamestown Community
College prior to serving in the Marines. The Chautauqua County Legisla-
ture has expressed its desire to honor Lance Corporal Swanson. The Chau-
tauqua County Legislature, by unanimous vote, adopted a formal resol-
ution requesting this legislation. The dedication of State Route 394 in
the Village of Lakewood is but one small way for this state to honor the
bravery, dedication and ultimate sacrifice of this brave American hero.
