Bridge Named in Honor of Fallen Soldier

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A local bridge will forever be a reminder of another soldier who gave his life fighting for our freedom.
A bridge on Highway 96, going over the Harpeth River was renamed Sunday in memory of Staff Sergeant Timothy Walker, 38. He died in Iraq back in 2008 serving as a military medic.
“Timmy always said he was not the hero… He was doing his job because that’s what he chose to do as a career. This was his job. The real heroes are the wives, the mothers, the fathers, the husbands who were home taking care of their loved ones,” said Barbara Shearer, Timothy Walker’s Mother.
His mom also said Timothy drove over this bridge a lot, and he often even got in trouble on it.
