Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Concurrent Resolution 54 changes the bridge's name from "U.S. Army Private First Class Howard Bissett Memorial Bridge" to "U.S. Army PFC Howard Bissett Memorial Bridge." This change simplifies the name by using the abbreviation "PFC" instead of writing out "Private First Class." This matters because it may make the bridge's name easier to read and recognize, while still honoring PFC Howard Bissett's service and legacy.
