The Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter Veterans Memorial Bridge is the latest iconic Sag Harbor structure to become a Cat's Meow Village replica.

Designed by JoAnn Lyles, the mother of Lance Cpl. Haerter, it is available for purchase through the website InJordansHonor.com and on Ms. Lyles's Facebook page.

The Cat's Meow Village replica highlights the life and actions of Lance Cpl. Haerter and a fellow Marine, Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale. The two Marines died in 2008 while defending their barracks in Iraq, and have since been credited with saving the lives of 50 Marines and 100 civilians and Iraqi police officers.
