Subject: | The Charles Owen Jenkins Jr., Memorial Bridge |
In the near future, I will introduce legislation to honor Sergeant Charles Owen Jenkins Jr. The bill will designate the bridge, identified as Bridge Key 8574, carrying State Route 1021 over Clearfield Creek, White Township, Cambria County, as the Charles Owen Jenkins Jr., Memorial Bridge. During his service in the Vietnam War, Army Sergeant Jenkins was reported missing near Dong Xoai, South Vietnam, Phuoc Long province and declared dead on June 10, 1965. For his bravery and sacrifice, Sergeant Jenkins was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and South Vietnam Gallantry Cross. Please join me in sponsoring this important piece of legislation. |
Introduced as HB1485
