| It is undeniable that
many of the buildings at Fort Wolters have been neglected by their
owners in recent years. Buildings that once housed and trained so many
young troops who fought for their county in two major wars are now
crumbling. But, the old fort still helps train troops through its
National Guard presence, the weapon ranges are still used, and many
bustling businesses have made good use of the facilities they now
occupy.
When re-visiting the old fort, it
is easy to let one's thoughts go back 35 years to when the base vibrated
with urgency as it performed its vital national mission. I hope you
enjoy the pictures I have enclosed in the
photo
gallery
. Some things haven't changed, the friendly townsfolk in
Mineral Wells and the blue central Texas sky.... if you get the chance
to return and visit I think you will enjoy your time on the old base.
There is still much to see at Fort
Wolters....
