"We still miss Seth. We still have that empty space in our hearts," his father Fran Michaud said. "But today we're able to talk about him and laugh at some of the things he did. That empty space is being filled with memories and that's what important."

The newest bridge in town can be seen from Michaud's parents' house.

"We'll never forget our servicemen and women," said Brian Stearns, the town's veteran services officer. "Him being a hometown boy, how better could you honor the family and this young man?"
