It is a very old (founded in 1917) and large base. Largest ANG base in the country. We have been a joint community for decades here, with all branches of the military, including the Coast Guard, in one spot. It’s named after the first military casualty of air flight Thomas Selfridge.

It’s a beautiful base and, so far, has managed to escape closure despite our liberal representation in Washington, who’ve allowed every Active Duty base here to close.
