Idaho National Guard memorializes WWII Medal of Honor recipient

Idaho Military Division Public Affairs/Crystal Farris The Idaho National Guard dedicated its newest barracks in honor of Medal of Honor recipient U.S. Army 1st Lt. Vernon Joseph Baker on Gowen Field, Tuesday. Baker was one of seven African Americans awarded the Medal of Honor for service during World War II. He received the award nearly 50 years later for his extraordinary heroism on April 5 and 6, 1945, while in Viareggio, Italy. The award is the nation’s highest and most prestigious military decoration. “I’m thankful that on this day, we will create a lasting legacy in the name of 1st Lt. Vernon J. Baker, Medal of Honor recipient,” said Jerome Mapp, former Boise City Council member and Caldwell planning and zoning director. “Those who will enter into this building will have the opportunity to learn about Baker, his leadership and the sacrifices he made.”

Barracks at Gowen Field named in honor of Idaho vet Vernon Baker

The Idaho National Guard has named its newest barracks for Vernon Baker. Author: KTVB Staff Updated: 5:37 PM MDT July 20, 2021 BOISE, Idaho Idaho World War II veteran Vernon Baker received a special honor Tuesday at Gowen Field. The Idaho National Guard dedicated its newest barracks after the Idaho native to help celebrate his legacy. Baker, who moved to St. Maries upon retirement, died there in 2010 at the age of 90. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Baker was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1997 by President Bill Clinton, 52 years after he led a successful attack that helped the Allies drive German forces out of northern Italy. His role was largely overlooked because of his race. At the time of his service, the U.S. Army had been segregated.
