Bridge Honors Fallen Soldier, Mother Seeks Military Changes
Jacob Ashton, a 21-year-old soldier, was honored with a bridge named after him in Madison, Ohio. He was killed by a fellow servicemember, Riley Birbilas, at Fort Drum in New York. The bridge holds personal significance as Jacob often kayaked there with his grandparents. His mother, Michelle Ustupski, feels honored but still grieves. She advocates for stricter psychological evaluations and mandatory debriefings for soldiers returning from deployments to prevent future tragedies. Birbilass trial is set for December.
