“This new street name and address symbolizes and demonstrates the reverence and strong support in our community for our military, veterans and their families,” Governor Brian Sandoval said. “I commend the City of Sparks for making the effort and taking the steps to make this happen. It is this kind of support that ensures together, we are making Nevada the most military and veteran friendly state in the nation.”
“We are excited to rename this portion of Kietzke Lane to Battle Born Way,” said Mayor Geno Martini. “Renaming this section will honor the new Northern Nevada Veterans Home, pay tribute to its future veteran residents and to Nevada’s military history.”
