ROULETTE — During the sunny afternoon Saturday, Pennsylvania State Rep. Martin Causer, R-Turtlepoint, and others gathered in Roulette to attend the bridge dedication ceremony of the SSG Gerrith Kibbe Memorial Bridge.
“What a beautiful day to remember a Potter County hero!” exclaimed Causer. “Thank you to everyone who came out for the dedication of the SSG Gerrith Kibbe Memorial Bridge today in Roulette. It was an honor to meet his two children, Teresa and George, and other members of the Kibbe family, as we gathered to remember this dedicated soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice.”
Staff Sgt. Kibbe enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1961 and served with the 98th Maintenance Company, 86th Maintenance Battalion within Army operations. He was killed on June 24, 1967, while on duty in South Vietnam.
“Many thanks to American Legion Post 192 who helped organize the event, and all of the Legion and VFW members who came out to honor one of their own. Thank you also to Roulette Fire Company and Riverside Methodist Church,” Causer said.
