The County of Bucks on Tuesday dedicated County-owned bridge #48 in Bedminster Township in memory of U.S. Army Specialist 4th Class (SP4) Patrick J. Breslin, a Bucks County resident who died while serving in the Vietnam War.

Breslin, 19, was serving as crew chief and door gunner aboard a Bell UH-1H Huey helicopter that crashed Oct. 17, 1971, in the South China Sea killing Breslin and two others.

Breslin had been in Vietnam five months before his death. He is buried in Sellersville at St. Agnes Catholic Cemetery.

The bridge named for Breslin crosses Deep Run along Rolling Hills Road in Bedminster Township. It is the eleventh County-owned bridge since 2022 to be named for a local soldier lost in the Vietnam War.
