While in attendance at the Veterans Memorial Bridge groundbreaking ceremony, Ray handed out copies of his latest book "Camp Frenzell-Jones" to officials and friends.  The bridge, designed and approved by the County of Volusia, is to be named in memory of Tom Staed, a Korean War veteran.  Completion of the Tom Staed Veterans Memorial Bridge is due approximately 32 months from today.  
 
"The new high-level, multi-arch concrete bridge construction project will replace the existing drawbridge, which is more than 60 years old.  The $38 million construction contract is funded by the federal government and being completed by Johnson Bros. Corp. Design elements of
the new two-lane bridge include handicap accessibility, 8-foot sidewalks, fishing piers on both sides of the Halifax River, and plaques at 28 scenic overlooks commemorating conflicts in America’s military history. The plaques will include descriptions of conflicts and outcomes; the number of killed, wounded and missing in action; a QR code linked to additional data; and a Braille plate with information."
