As a soldier, I served in posts named after Gen John Bell Hood, Gen Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Gen John Adams Dix...and shipped overseas from a
small post called Camp Kilmer, named after a soldier/poet killed in WW1..
I was still proud to serve and those names were as good as any they could have been named for. In fact, the Kaserne I was stationed at in Germany was named for a Frenchman (D'Isley)..then later, the Gremans renamed it
I didn't really care what it was called.. I did find an article , written by a GI who returned to vist there, long after the Germans closed it.
time marches on !
Below, i found a picture of the very barrack I lived in there.. It is pictured in nthe article as it is now, with a glass housed stairway.
