Travelers who pass Clermont North Eastern High School on U.S. 50 may have noticed a new sign recently. The stretch of highway between the school and state Route 133 was dedicated as the Lance Corporal Nicholas B. Erdy Memorial Highway Friday, April 2.
Erdy was a Jackson Township resident who was killed on May 11, 2005 when his amphibious assault vehicle struck an explosive device while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Karabilah, Iraq. He was just 21 years old.
State Representative Danny Bubp led the emotional dedication ceremony.
