I spent most of last week at Fort Leonard Wood, where I took hundreds of photos which will eventually help me prepare a photo essay about the evolution of the installation from 1941 until today. I literally walked miles from here to there with camera in hand, and throughout was amazed at how much the training post has changed over the years. There remains evidence from the early days, and when you combine that with all the new and exceptionally nice facilities built recently, you can't help but feel proud to have been a part of it. It's truly a "center of excellence".
You'll have to wait until the May-June issue of Army Engineer is published to see first hand what I'm talking about. I'm sure you will be as impressed as I was last week.
