Staff Sargent Jordan Emerick, who died while in Afghanistan on November 5, 2010, will have the stretch of Illinois Route 177 from Hoyleton to New Minden, named in his honor.  The Illinois House of Representatives adopted the resolution on Wednesday.  It was crafted and presented by Representative Charlie Meier at the beginning of October.  The new name will be the Staff Sargent Jordan Emerick Memorial Highway and signs will go up in the near future.
