| Subject: | Bridge Designation-Private Edward Private Edward J. Stambaugh Memorial Bridge, Paradise Township, York County |
| I will be introducing legislation to designate the US Route 30 bridge, in Paradise Township, York County which crosses the Paradise stream, as the Private Edward J. Stambaugh Memorial Bridge. Enlisted in the US Army on September 8, 1942, Private Stambaugh served our country with valor and honor as a member of the M-Company, 116th Regiment during World War II. The M-Company landed and fought in the Normandy invasion on D-Day. Surviving the beach invasion, Private Stambaugh and his company continued west through the French countryside securing towns for allied troops. On June 16, 1944, troops moved towards St. Lo, France. Their advance was met with heavy enemy fire, and on the report from M-Company, it listed Private Stambaugh killed in action. Private Stambaugh was buried on June 23, 1944, at the La Cambe Cemetery located approximately 6.5 miles west of Omaha Beach. On January 20, 1948, Private Stambaugh’s remains, were returned to the United States. And he was laid to peaceful rest on February 19, 1948, at the Paradise Holtzschwamm Lutheran Church Cemetery in Thomasville, York County. Private Edward J. Stambaugh was awarded a Purple Heart medal, posthumously. Please join me in honoring the memory of Private Edward J. Stambaugh for his ultimate service and sacrifice by co-sponsoring this legislation. |
