Vietnam War hero honored as Libby bridge tribute becomes law
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signs SB 59 making a Libby bridge over Highway 37 a tribute to Staff Sergeant Arthur J. Rambo. Rambo, a Libby resident awarded the Silver Star after dying in 1969 at age 24, led an artillery crew during a deadly 1969 engagement with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mike Cuffe, passed early in the session amid a standoff on committee assignments and was praised by Ram bo family members and former Gov. Marc Racicot as lawmakers united across parties.
