AI Summary
This bill designates a specific bridge in Knox Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania (identified as Bridge Key 48006 and carrying State Route 3007 over Carson Run) as the "Sgt. Ronald Bloom Memorial Bridge" to honor a local veteran who served in the Vietnam War. The bill provides background information about Ronald Bloom, who was born in Clearfield County in 1946, dropped out of high school to enlist in the Marines in 1967, and was killed in action in Vietnam on August 2, 1968, at the age of 21.
