The Old Chapel in Fort Jackson:
Trust me, you and family will love the new chapel.
I was so excited to see my grandparents church celebrating the 100th anniversary of their building, small town west Texas. It is a building, I am sorry your mother is losing her place to worship
Have on on Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg that’s in the same boat.
Remember the church well did basic training at Ft Jackson early 72.
I was at Fort Knox in '69.Never made it to the Armor Museum of the Gold Depository...far too tired.The church at Ft Jackson was clearly a historic site and important to many who served there...seems to me the DoD could take that into account.
I hope they do. Spent many services there.
