This road dedication ceremony took place at 945 Second Street Pike, Richboro. PA.Rep. Kristin Marcell hosted the dedication ceremony naming a portion of Second Street Pike in honor of Capt. Walter H. Sigafoos III, a Richboro native and U.S. Air Force officer who went missing in action during the Vietnam War. The ceremony took place on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, adding special significance to the tribute.

Kiel Sigafoos leading the Pledge of Allegiance, Rev. Doug Dwyer opening prayer, remarks by Kathy Fitzpatrick, Senator Frank Farry, Congressman Brian Fiotzpatrick, Al Sigafoos and Rev, Ryan Sweet for the closing prayer.
Capt. Sigafoos disappeared on April 25, 1971, after the F-4 Phantom he was serving aboard crashed in Laos near the Ho Chi Minh Trail. He remains the only Bucks County service member still listed as missing in action from the Vietnam War.
