MINOR
The bill was amended to add 'U.S. Army' to the memorial bridge name and to update the historical narrative to reflect Corporal Jackley's rank throughout the text. The changes clarify his military service and add specific details about his medals received.
REQUIREMENT
The bridge name was changed from 'Corporal James E. Jackley Memorial Bridge' to 'U.S. Army Corporal James E. Jackley Memorial Bridge' to include the branch of service.
DEFINITION
Throughout the historical narrative, the text was updated to refer to 'Corporal Jackley' instead of 'James E. Jackley' to emphasize his rank.
The description of his military service was expanded to include that he eventually raised to the rank of Corporal and to list specific medals received (European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and several Purple Hearts).
