County names bridge in memory of Garvey
|
|
by Keith Lobdell
|
LEWIS- The bridge in
Lewis over the Northway will be renamed in honor of a local fallen hero.
The Essex County Board of Supervisors unanimously
seconded a resolution during their Sept. 2 monthly board meeting to name
the bridge as the Sgt. Justin Wrisley Garvey Memorial Bridge. |
|
Garvey was deployed to Kuwait and then to Iraq. On July 20th, Garvey,
along with fellow soldier Jason Jordan and an Iraqi civilian aid worker
were ambushed and killed.
"We are going to shoot for Veteran's Day for the ceremony to name the
bridge" |
|
said Willsboro Supervisor Bob Ashline.
Ashline said the next steps before the bridge is officially renamed will
be to petition the county for signs that will be placed on the bridge,
with the hopes of everything being done in time for a November 11th
ceremony. |
