TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of
the state highway system as the "Sergeant Gary Beikirch Memorial High-
way"

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 outlines the portion of highway to be renamed. Section 2
outlines the role of the department of transportation in the renaming
and maintenance. Section 3 is the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Sergeant Gary B. Beikirch was a Vietnam veteran, Medal of Honor recipi-
ent, distinguished citizen and devoted member of his community who
passed away on December 26, 2021. Gary left an immeasurable impact on
our community, our state, our nation and all those who were privileged
to spend a moment of time with him. Gary was awarded the medal of honor

for actions performed prior in Vietnam at Camp Buck-Song where defended
his fellow soldiers, Vietnamese comrades and Vietnamese villagers saving
lives as he sustained life threatening injuries. His dedication to serve
and love others didn't stop after his time in uniform as Gary continued
to devote his life to the benefit and service of others. For over 30
years, he was a middle school counselor for the Greece School District
changing the lives of thousands of the students he worked with daily.
Gary was also a co-founder of the Veterans Outreach Center that has
served and continues to serve veterans of Monroe County and across our
region with every need they may encounter as they try to reenter society
and find some normalcy in their daily lives. However, Gary's dedication
to others didn't stop there. He was also actively involved in his church
and faith community, serving as an ordained minister. While Gary may be
gone, our community and our nation are a better place because of him and
may his legacy of love live on for all those he touched. It is only
fitting that a portion of New York State Highway, Route 18 be dedicated
in his honor.
