Portland, OR, July 20, 2026 —
Signs marking a section of State Route 386 in Tennessee as the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway are being moved to a new location. The relocation comes after objections were raised by Vietnam veterans.
The veterans’ concerns centered on the initial placement of the signs on a stretch of road that had previously been dedicated to honor 25 service members from Sumner County who died during the Vietnam War. The veterans felt that placing the new memorial designation on the same roadway conflicted with the existing dedication to the fallen service members.
As a result of these objections, the signs for the Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway will now be relocated to Long Hollow Pike in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. This move aims to resolve the conflict and honor the wishes of the veteran community.
Further details regarding the exact timing of the sign relocation or any specific permit changes were not immediately available.
