Road Trip: Fort William Henry Harrison, Montana

Fort William Henry Harrison is the Montana National Guard training facility. It is also home to the Fort Harrison VA Medical Center and Montana State Veterans Cemetery, located adjacent to the military installation. Fort Harrison is located in Helena, Montana.

Fort William Henry Harrison (1895–1913) was authorized by a Congressional act of 12 May 1892 which was intended to establish, as a part of a greater consolidation program, concentrations of troops in a few larger installations so that smaller installations could be abandoned. The post was first named Fort Harrison after the sitting President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, on 13 Dec 1892.

Some years later on 16 Feb 1906, the name was changed to Fort William Henry Harrison because it was discovered that there had already been an Army fort named for Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, Indiana. Fort William Henry Harrison was first garrisoned with troops from Fort Assinniboine near Havre, Montana 23 Sep 1895.

The National Guard is a unique and essential element of the U.S. military. Founded in 1636 as a citizen force organized to protect families and towns from hostile attacks, today’s National Guard Soldiers hold civilian jobs or attend college while maintaining their military training part time, always ready to defend the American way of life in the event of an emergency.

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the
Canteen for today’s activities.

Checking in.

Had to break out the helo for us east coasters.

The National Guard is a unique and essential
element of the U.S. military.

families and towns from hostile attacks,
today’s National Guard Soldiers hold civilian jobs or attend college
while maintaining their military training part time,
always ready to defend the American way of life
in the event of an emergency.

In times of trouble,
we will do well to remember this.
Don't think many people understand this.

Well, I've been crying for summer to get here, but
I saw Luvy's temps are hitting the 90s, so...maybe
I'll ease back on the crying...just give me spring temps.

Gonna make my rounds. Please stay.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
Chat with the military and/or the family they left behind.

The FR Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS

So they told us. I was bidding on that route which is hard to do when you’re a reserve pilot but I did have an offer to switch one time; would have been interesting anyway. I’m not heading out until Thursday.

Welcome to the Canteen, archy, and thank you for sharing about the post museum.

I've been in and around the Canteen since the Snippy days, but have been really busy with the election and my forthcoming relocation back to Wyoming. I'll get back in when I can, when I have something of possible value to others to contribute.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope all goes well, and has the desired results. *HUGS*

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi Kathy!

*HUGS*

All went well, thanks. I'm taking it easy this evening - the injection will take effect over the next day or two.
