During those days of the Vietnam war those of us serving in the Armed Forces were generally not treated well by the American public, but members of the community of Kingston were always gracious and friendly, a fact for which I will always remain grateful.</p><p>As Jerry said, the base closed in I think 1975. It was still open when I came back to visit it in 1972, at least.</p><p>Ron Wilbur, former SGT E-5 US Army<br>Nike Hercules Launch crewman and panel operator<br>"B" section</p>ronwFri, 21 Nov 2008 01:34:51 -0000
