California road to honor Marine icon R. Lee Ermey, play ‘The Marines’ Hymn'

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the news that the state of "California planned to pay tribute to “Full Metal Jacket’” actor and Marine icon R. Lee Ermey who passed away at the age of 74 in April, 2018 by naming a road after him.
Typically "California Department of Transportation approved the effort to rename the avenue but lack the funding to put the endeavor into action."
Thankfully, "supporters of Ermey have since sprung into action by launching a GoFundMe page to raise $150,000 to pay for street signs, highway signs and memorial plaques, according to the fundraising page."
1. Hopefully this GoFundMe page effort will b successful.
2. Hopefully California will not rename the street
A seven-mile stretch of road in Palmdale, California, known as Avenue N will be renamed R. Lee Ermey Avenue, in honor of the acclaimed actor and Marine veteran, according to a fundraising page associated with Ermey’s supporters.
Stars and Stripes reported that the stretch of road will also play the “The Marines’ Hymn” when driving over special grooves in the road.
California officials with Palmdale and Lancaster, Los Angeles County and California Department of Transportation approved the effort to rename the avenue but lack the funding to put the endeavor into action.
Supporters of Ermey have since sprung into action by launching a GoFundMe page to raise $150,000 to pay for street signs, highway signs and memorial plaques, according to the fundraising page.
The stretch of road to be renamed was closest to Ermey’s home of nearly 20 years, the Antelope Valley Press reported."
Thank you for mentioning me, my friend SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
