I have only been here in TN since the very end of 2016. I drove construction trucking all around the Quad Cities (IL and IA metro) during the debate about naming the bridge after SGT Baker. WOC’s Jim Fisher helped keep the support going through his talk show.

There were bleeding heart libs (otherwise known as commies/democrats) that opposed naming the I-280 bridge after him. IIRC I remember him basically saying “just forget the whole idea”. But, thankfully, the patriots prevailed.

Thanks for posting!
