Nestled under the Verazzano Bridge is the entrance to a small military installation. It is listed on the WEB as "The Army's Ambassador to New York City."
And here is a handsome retired Army officer on his way in for a visit. Most people spend their lives in the same town or state. We, career military families, make our home wherever we are sent. Although we know no one at Ft. Hamilton (or any other Army installation) we have the feeling of returning home when entering the gates of any military facility.. It is difficult to explain.
Old guns, tanks and equipment are commonly displayed.
This is a photo of our version of a department store. It is small but it is ours and we love them no matter what the size.
The grass is trimmed, flowers are cared for . . . and memories arise. I guess that is the main reason that when the time comes we will be pleased and proud to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. It will be a going home for us.
There is a plaque on this house that says General Robert E. Lee lived there once!
This photo shows the top of the Verazzano bridge. It goes from Brooklyn to Staten Island.
