BRIDGE NAMED FOR GUARDSMAN WHO DIED IN WAR ON TERRORISM Fifteen bridges along State Route 840 were dedicated Friday, Sept. 28, 2007, to soldiers of the Tennessee Army National Guard who have died in the war on terrorism. Governer Phil Bredesen and Maj. Gen. Gus L. Hargett, Tennessee Adjutant General, attended a reception for families at the Lebanon National Guard Armory at 1010 Leeville Road in Lebanon. State legislators earlier named State Route 840 the "Tennessee National Guard Parkway" to honor Tennessee National Guard soldiers and airmen for their contributions in preserving America's freedoms in the war on terrorism. Earlier this year, legislators voted to name bridges and overpasses along the route for Guard members who died while deployed. The bridge honoring Milan area Guardsman is the I-24 Bridge in Rutherford County, dedicated to Specialist James Dustin Carroll of McKenzie, who was a member of the Milan National Guard unit.
