Fort Jackson (South Carolina)

This postcard comes from a new penpal of mine who lives in South Carolina. With many of my family members having served in the military, I may have slightly more experience visiting military bases than the average civilian. However, I’ve never visited Fort Jackson. Interestingly, I heard that many of the military bases in the South were deliberately named after Confederate military leaders (how strange that a country’s military bases would be named after traitors!). At least this one is not named for a Confederate traitor, though.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
