Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Holds Fallen Heroes Bridge Dedication on Nov. 11; Six Bridges Honor Fallen Service Members
The South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs held a regional Fallen Heroes Bridge dedication ceremony at 2 p.m. on November 11 at the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance in Sioux Falls (1600 West Russell Street), honoring six service members who gave their lives for their country. The ceremony is part of the statewide Fallen Heroes Bridge naming program. Governor Larry Rhoden attended the Sioux Falls Veterans Day observance at the same venue at 10:30 a.m. that day and took part in the bridge dedication.
One of the bridges named is the South Dakota Highway 37 bridge over Emanuel Creek, west of Springfield, to be named the PFC Jack Denouden Bridge. The Department of Veterans Affairs said naming bridges for fallen service members is an enduring way for future generations to remember their sacrifice, and that holding the ceremony on Veterans Day made it especially meaningful. Family members of the six service members and representatives of local veterans' groups attended, with a moment of silence and a flower-laying ceremony.
