NASJRB Willow Grove, Pa.

Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove Pa. Fire Department went offline and locked the doors at 0700 this morning. The base fell victim to BRAC 2007. Best wishes to many friends in their new assignments, including several who opted for retirement.

A little bit more of our Nation's history died with that closure.

The same happened a month ago to Naval Air Station Brunswick Maine. The last man out shut off the lights for good on 30 May 2011.
