“We’ve erected a 3-kilometer-long tied-arch bridge so people can get into and out of the Superior bay area quicker and easier, and we’ll be dedicating it to World War II pilot Richard Bong.”
“Okay, what are you calling it?”
“Right now we’ve got ‘Dick Bong’s Long, Curvaceous Erection for the Repeated Entering and Exiting of a Wet Superior Inlet.’”
America’s Ace of Aces. There’s a bridge connecting Superior, WI and Duluth, MN called the Bong Bridge.
Honestly, it’s a bit disappointing. Why not just go all the way and call it Dick Bong Bridge?
“Dick Bong’s Long & Strong” is my suggestion

Wisconsin has them beat. There’s a “Bong Recreation Area” in the South East part of the state.
I’ve camped there, it’s pretty nice!
Me too!
Same.
I think I’m gonna head on down to the Bong Recreation Area and take the Green Trail for a while if you know what I mean
(I mean I’m going to take a scenic nature walk in one of Wisconsin’s beautiful state parks, what the hell did you think I meant?)
dude probably bagged even more than he’s officially credited for too. the guy was a menace to the japanese.
