The bridge on Jack Street was dedicated in memory of John Emerick, a military Veteran and survivor of the Bataan death march of WWII. The dedication speech to honor Mr. Emerick was given by Joan Carmen.

  The bridge on Jason Drive was dedicated in memory of William Castor, a military Veteran and life-long resident of Union Township. Castor was an advocate for Veterans and organized the Veterans Memorial Honor Roll at the Union Township Park. UT Supervisor Heather Daerr spoke on behalf of Mr. Castor, as did his son.

Plaques were made for both bridges by Mike’s Refinishing. There was a balloon release during the ceremony, and refreshments donated by Fred Carmen and Son, Inc. were served at a small gathering after the dedication at the Union Township Municipal building. The event was attended by family, township residents, township supervisors, county commissioners and state representatives.
