Thanks for the road trip to Fort Monmouth. We are steadily moving forward with our relocation to Aberdeen Proving Ground and time left for this historic military installation is running short.
I am sad to see it go. Every day I pass the hundreds of stone markers along Avenue of Memories dedicated to Signal Corps soldiers who gave their lives for this great country. Many of them trained or billeted at Fort Monmouth before meeting their fate. In a few months, “their” fort will just be a memory also.

I'm sorry to see the place go, also. I made the move from Fort Monmouth to APG 7 months ago. I'm going back there tomorrow for a "Farewell Party" at Rooney's for my coworkers who have decided not to make the move. I haven't been back on the post since I moved, but plan to go there tomorrow for one last look around. Fort Monmouth is one of the best kept secrets in the Army - there's a lot of history there.
