STOW – Senator Cathy Young (R-Olean) is hosting an event at the Hadley House restaurant in Stow on Saturday to honor Vietnam veteran John L. Stow and all Vietnam War veterans, as well as all veterans who have gone Missing in Action, with the dedication of the State Route 394 bridge across I-86 as the “John Stow Vietnam Veterans and MIA Memorial Bridge.”
Marine Private First Class Stow served with distinction in Vietnam, where he was killed in action at the age of 18. The naming of this bridge will serve to honor and memorialize all veterans of this war, as well as everyone who has gone Missing in Action while serving in our Armed Forces.
