AL SJR67

Names a portion of Highway 31 in Escambia County between Brewton and Flomaton the Sergeant William Wayne Seay Memorial Highway.

Sergeant William Wayne Seay was born in Brewton, Alabama on October 24, 1948, and died in combat on August 25, 1986, in Tay Ninh, Vietnam.

Seay was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroism and gallantry, including killing enemy soldiers with his rifle and twice returning armed enemy grenades to the North Vietnamese position before being mortally wounded by a sniper's bullet.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7016 in Atmore, Alabama requested the naming to honor Seay's service and sacrifice.

Appropriate officials are directed to place and maintain signs or markers identifying the memorial highway.
