A Bucks County-owned bridge was recently named in honor of U.S. Army SP4 Ronald Anthony Longfellow, a Chalfont resident who died during the Vietnam War. While acting as point man on patrol on Dec. 28, 1971, Longfellow stepped on a land mine and suffered critical injuries. He succumbed to his injuries Jan. 19, 1972, after 135 days in country, becoming the last soldier from Bucks County to die in Vietnam.
This is the twenty fifth County-owned bridge since 2022 to be named for a local soldier lost in the Vietnam War. To learn more, visit buckscounty.gov/MemorialBridges.
