People and Places: Fort Ord 

I'm glad to hear that the old WW2 era barracks are going to be removed. While most of us have fond memories of the entire base, seeing those buildings marked with graffiti and practically falling down on themselves is depressing. I hope that the local areas find a way to marry "Best Use" and "economic development". If i could see one thing implemented in my lifetime, it would be that ONE SINGLE UNIT of the old WW2 era barracks be rehabilitated and preserved as an historical record of what was once there. Truthfully, much of the old Ord lives on now only in memories of we: the aging veterans who were there, and (if we are lucky) some cherished photos. From the age when taking pictures was a drawn out process, involving finishing the roll of film, sending it to be developed, waiting for it to be sent back to the AAFES Post Exchange, and finally opening the envelope to discover what we had captured.😊

Served there from 1968-1972.

New homes and shops going up on those sites.
