I had many good memories of the people in the Nike family, but only have contact with two others with whom I served at the site. I would like to hear from any one that was on the site while I was there. I need to fill in a few gaps, in my personal fight with PTSD, which was brought on by my tour in NAM before I got to the site.
I presently live about two miles from the old site, and it is a shame to see that there is NOTHING left of the launcher area. The IFC area is presently being used as a State of Michigan camp for incouragable youth.
