The bridge at Crisp Springs could potentially be named after Vietnam War soldier Donnie McCormick, pending Highway and Bridge Committee approval.

County Executive Jimmy Haley brought up the request in this month’s County Executive report.

“Another request has been made for the bridge at Crisp Springs to been named for another fallen Vietnam soldier, Donnie McCormick. Highway and Bridge will consider this at an upcoming committee meeting,” said Haley.

McCormick was born Oct. 22, 1947 and resided in Morrison. He was drafted into the Army and entered the service via Select Service. McCormick served in Vietnam and began his tour on May 2, 1967. He was killed in action on Feb. 8, 1968 in South Vietnam, Dinh Tuong province. He is buried at Mt. View Cemetery.

He had the military rank of Specialist Four and his occupation was Light Weapons Infantry. McCormick was attached to 9th Infantry Division, 2nd Battalion, 39th Infantry, B Company.

His commendations include: Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman Badge, Marksmanship Badge, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Army Presidential Unit Citation, Vietnam Gallantry Cross, and the Army Good Conduct Medal.

The Highway and Bridge Committee is expected to discuss the matter at its next meeting, which has not currently been scheduled with new members of the Warren County Commission scheduled to take their seats Sept. 1.
