Subject: | Ensign Sarah Mitchell Memorial Bridge |
In the near future, I will be introducing legislation designating a bridge in Lower Southampton Township, Bucks County, as the Ensign Sarah Mitchell Memorial Bridge. Sarah Joy Mitchell was born in Meadowbrook to John and Betsy McClay Mitchell. She was a lifelong resident of Oakford, where she was a 2013 graduate of Neshaminy High School and participated in field hockey, basketball, and track and field. Ensign Mitchell furthered her education at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where she served as a member of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps of Cadets and earned her degree in 2017. Additionally, she was a member of Saint Stephen’s Lutheran Church in Feasterville. Ensign Mitchell served in the United States Navy, making the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the cause of freedom, passing away in the line of duty at 23 years of age on July 8th, 2018. I hope you will consider sponsoring this legislation and join me in honoring the service and sacrifice of Ensign Sarah Mitchell. |
Introduced as HB2494
