                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7429            Revised 06/24/16

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion
of the state highway system as the "Private First Class Duane C. Scott
Memorial Highway"

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to designate a portion of State Route 275
in the village of Richburg, Allegany County, in the memory of PFC
Duane C. Scott, a US Army veteran who lost his life fighting for his
country in Vietnam on September 29, 1969.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1: Amends the highway law by adding a new section 344-e, which
designates the portion of State Route 275 within the village of
Richburg, Allegany County, as the "Private First Class Duane C. Scott
Memorial Highway"

Section 2: States that the commissioner of transportation shall
provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signing of
the state highway systems as designated pursuant to section 1 of this
act. The designation will be for ceremonial purposes only, and the

roads official name will not be changed as a result of this act.

Section 3: Sets for the effective date

 JUSTIFICATION :

Private First Class Duane Carl Scott served his nation in the Vietnam
War as a member of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry
Regiment. PFC Scott completed his training at Fort Dix, New Jersey and
spent six months in the Army before being deployed. His tour began on
August 3, 1969, when he and his fellow soldiers deployed to Vietnam.

PFC Scott was born on July 25, 1949 and grew up and attended school in
the village of Richburg, New York, in Allegany County, until his
military service began. The portion of Route 275 that would be
dedicated by this bill passes PFC Scott's elementary school and the
cemetery in which he was laid to rest.

While serving honorably, and having spent fewer than 60 days in
country, PFC Duane C, Scott was Killed in Action on September 29, 1969
in Pleiku Province, Vietnam. For his service, PFC Scott was awarded
the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the
National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam
Campaign Medal and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm Unit
Citation.

PFC Scott was awarded the Bronze Star for distinguishing himself
through outstanding meritorious service in connection with ground
operations against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam. The
dedication of State Route 275 in the village of Richburg is but one
small way for this state to honor the bravery, dedication and ultimate
sacrifice of this brave American hero.
