Better late than never! 🇺🇸
Last Monday, we had the honor of hosting the Bridge Dedication Ceremony for 1LT Laurence Radlinger.
For nearly three years, we had been searching for a photograph of Laurence. Despite our best efforts, we simply couldn’t find one. Then, over the weekend, after seeing media coverage of the dedication, one of Laurence’s distant relatives, Larry Schlichtling-who was named after Laurence-reached out to thank us and shared a photograph of Laurence in uniform.
What a gift!
After all these years, we finally get to see 1LT Laurence Radlinger in his American uniform—the uniform he proudly wore while serving our country.
It makes his bridge dedication even more meaningful. We are honored to remember Laurence, his service, and his sacrifice, and grateful to his family for helping us put a face to the name and the hero we were honoring. 🇺🇸
Welcome home, Laurence. We will remember you.
