Ah, Fort Belvoir. That was the closest base to us when I was in high school. Dad was stationed at the Pentagon and Belvoir is where we went to the Commissary and Exchange. We ate at the Officers Club many times, went swimming at the pool also many times (until they got our subdivision one built and open.) DeWitt hospital is where we went for injuries or illnesses. I had my physical there for my first job - a part time fast-food gig at 16. Got my first contact lenses there.
Lots of Fort Belvoir memories.
Thank you for the thread and thank you for all that you do!
What great childhood memories. I’ve never been there, but I’ll bet the grounds were immaculate and lovely.
Lived at Belvoir for the 4 years I was stationed in The Old Guard.
Lots of memories for you, Allegra. Thanks for sharing. And first job, too!
