It’s gone downhill since they painted over the Armor insignia on the water tank! Brooks Field is no longer the parade field and Post Headquarters is no longer across the way. The names on Knox will have no meaning to those folks. They won’t know, or much care who Skidgel, Sadowski, Wickham, or Yano were or how those places came to bear those names.

I am not even sure that Quarters Six was good enough for the new CG.

On the way to work this morning I was wondering to myself when they will start changing the names of streets. Old Ironsides will be Stapler Ave. Hell on Wheels could be Paper Clip Way.

My father-in-law spent his entire 27 years as a tanker or tank destroyer. I am sure he is rolling in his grave right now at what is happening.
