Take a look at housing on base has changed. The high ranking officials live in these old but beautiful homes.
Each of them has their rank and name at the front door or at the burb. Really beautiful!
The homes get a little small in this area but beautiful none the less.
Then in this area, they get much small and they are very simple homes.
In this area, the homes are much more modern, nice too.
This old building is visiting soldier housing.
This is too. Pretty nice old building.
This evening we just drove around the base and took pictures. This is the Old Brook Army Medical Center building which has been turned in to offices….It is a beautiful building. We visited a friend here when it was a hospital and it was a truly outdated hospital back then, in the 90s.
The wording above the entrance door says “NON SIBI SED PROXIMO” and I wonder what they may mean?!
There are several old buildings surrounding the old hospital….
This is the Main Post Chapel which offers Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish services.
A long shot of the Wounded Warrior Bronze Statue in front of the Museum. We will have to visit this museum.
More old buildings….
We were not sure if this building was a residence or a hotel as it was among all the high ranking officials’ residence. It is being renovated and it is a gorgeous building.
Many of the old buildings have been made into hotels/motel-like housing.
This fort is called “The Quadrangle-Home of the US Army North”. It is The Headquarters for the 5th Army. It is really neat. I wonder what this base may have been like when my Father was stationed here in 1942. From here, he left for Germany and was active in WWII for two years and a couple of months straight until the war ended. He was with the 10th Army, I believe.
This building was outside the base but I thought it was nice looking, too.
Many, many old buildings that hold a lot of history. Wish I knew more about them.
I will have to look in to this dinner theatre….
More to come… it got late on me and I did not get to post all the pics. Until tomorrow!
They had a picnic at the office patio on the 3rd of July. One of the Camp Hosts does the cooking. They had a great meal. Hope every one had a great 4th. God Bless America!
We met several people today. There was a couple that was from Corpus and it was nice visiting with everyone.
We have enjoyed our time at this Army Base. We have been here almost a month and finally had a change to go out for a ride within this big base.
Manuel has even done some grilling, which he has not done in many years.
We sit out in the evenings when it is cool. We have had rain at least once a week, which has been great. The best thing about all this is that we don’t have any yard work and the area is kept nice and trim.
The new Brook Army Medical Center is in our background.
The playground and the Brook Army Hospital….
We have had a lot of time to play on our ipads!!!
The horse stables here at the base are between the RV Park and the Hospital so we watch girls go by in their horses everyday. Beautiful horses/girls, too!
More to come…
