    Wife and I were military brats and settled here in Champaign County, in fact she was civil service at the hospital till base closure in 93. You guys wouldn't recognize the place now. The Air Force gave all the housing away for chump change and this brought in a bunch of slum lords that completely changed the complexion of the area. The Village of Rantoul ask for and got control over most of the rest of the old base area. Without the monetary resources to maintain it all areas have fallen in disrepair and neglect. They had to tear down White Hall about 2 years ago, if you have a chance check out this website; https://www.atlasobscura.com/article...air-force-base

    US Army - 1988 - 1994

    1988 - 1991 8th ID - Baumholder, Germany.
    1991 - 1994 Ft Sam Houston, TX

    The Army paid for my college so I tell people I felt obligated to give them 6 years of service - lol. In reality, I wanted to serve my country but I also needed financial help with college so a win-win. It seems like a life time ago.

    Recently my wife was organizing my study and noticed I had my ribbons and medals in a box. She asked why I never put them in a shadow box - I always wanted to but never got around to it. So for Christmas that's what she did for me. She didn't know me while I was in the military but she knew I held it in high regard. When she presented the shadow box to me today I became emotional. A lot of memories came back that I haven't thought about it decades. A lot good - some not.

    Anyway, thank you to all who have served!

    Thanks for posting the link Del, although I had seen it a few years ago on one of my Air Force groups. Sad to see for sure!
