MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 20, 2022 12:35 PM
From: Representative Tommy Sankey
To: All House members
Subject: Technical Sergeant Richard L. Beers Memorial Bridge
 
In the near future I plan to introduce legislation designating a bridge in Beccaria Township, Clearfield County as the Technical Sergeant Richard L. Beers Memorial Bridge. Richard enlisted in the Army Air Corps in Sept 1941 and attended aircraft maintenance and gunnery schools. As a Technical Sergeant, he was a gunner on a B-17 when it was shot down over Saint Nazaire, France. Technical Sergeant Beers was reported missing in action by the War Dept on Nov 12, 1942 and on Nov 1, 1943 it was verified by the War Dept that he was killed on Nov 9, 1942. Technical Sergeant Beers was the first military member from the Coalport area that was killed in World War II. 
      
Please join me in recognizing this veteran and his sacrifice.
 



Introduced as HB2864
