A note from our National Director, Amy Tuschen:
As we just celebrated President’s Day, did you know that in 1907, President Teddy Roosevelt played a role in the establishment of the Aeronautical Division of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, which was an early predecessor of the U.S. Air Force? Learn about this and other Signal Corps history by subscribing and following the Fort Gordon Historical Museum Society (FGHMS) on YouTube @fortgordonhistoricalmuseum2219
