For those of you that live in the bay area, the Presidio is planning an open
house
on February 23rd. As you may or may not be aware, the Presidio was a major
point
of embarkation for troops headed to the Pacific Theatre in WWII. Many of the
buildings
have photos from WWII showing activities associated with the war effort, like
row
after row of slat-grilled jeeps lined up at Crissy Field.
