Bill > SB78

This bill honors Private First Class (PFC) John Tabacsko by designating a specific bridge in Banks Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, as the "PFC John Tabacsko Memorial Bridge". The bill provides background on Tabacsko, noting he was a native of Banks Township who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, worked for Clark Coal Company before his military service, and was killed in action on March 24, 1945, at the age of 23 while serving with the 472nd Field Artillery Battalion on Luzon Island in the Philippines. The legislation specifically identifies the bridge by its Bridge Key number (67586), which is located over the South Branch of Bear Run on State Route 1053. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is required to erect and maintain signs displaying the memorial bridge's name in both directions. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, providing a lasting tribute to a local soldier who sacrificed his life during World War II.
