Bill > SB1091

This bill designates a specific bridge (Bridge Key 7041) carrying Pennsylvania Route 513 over Neshaminy Creek in Hulmeville Borough, Bucks County, as the Corporal Robert Lee Clampffer Memorial Bridge, in honor of a local Vietnam War veteran. The bill provides detailed background on Corporal Clampffer, including his birth in Corwells Heights, Bucks County, his graduation from Bensalem High School in 1967, and his service as an infantryman with B Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Infantry, 11th Infantry Brigade. It recounts that on May 1, 1968, during a combat operation near Van Ha in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam, Clampffer was seriously injured by a booby-trapped white phosphorous round and died five days later in a military hospital from pneumonia-related complications. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs displaying the bridge's memorial name in both directions, and the designation will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, serving to commemorate Clampffer's military service and sacrifice.
