I am the Vice-President of the Fort MacArthur Museum in San Pedro, CA. The Fort MacArthur Reservations hold an important collection of historical structures which were part of the U.S. Army’s role in the defense of the American continental coastline from invasion. These structures clearly trace the development of American coastal defenses, from the all big gun era of the turn of the century to the missile era of today. The Fort MacArthur Museum is committed to preserving the history and memories of the more then one-million men who have served in uniform here at Fort MacArthur.
