Posted

A portion of highway will be named to honor two Michigan military members who died in the line of duty.

Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation Monday designating part of M-15 in Vassar, near Saginaw, as Specialist 5 Michael May and Corporal Chris Esckelson Memorial Highway.

Michael May was part of a special forces team in Camboida in 1969 when he was killed.

Chris Esckelson was a marine who died while in combat in Irag in 2006.
