10.17.2012 | Bridge gets name to honor fallen hero
Many who will pass over the Derek Farley Memorial Bridge know the story behind its name. Many others will not.
The tale begins in a home on Nassau Lake, where the son of a Vietnam veteran soaks up military movies and The History Channel instead of cartoons. Just after high school, he fulfills his dream and joins the Army, where he trains to take on the delicate yet profoundly dangerous task of defusing roadside bombs. He does tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, risking his life disarming countless explosives for the safety of those behind him. He dies at age 24, just two weeks before he is supposed to come home.
