Consideration of Fort Knox’s traffic problem has been addressed in the past and some corrective measures have been proposed but none followed through. It has generally been Fort Knox’s view that as long as Soldiers and employees can exit the post their responsibility is done.
The fact of the matter is Fort Knox, is one of the few, and possibly the only major military installation that dumps all its traffic on to one highway, and not an interstate at that.

This Veterans Day I take the risk of moralizing, in a national tapestry saturated with post-election emotions.  I wish to express a reflection counter to the partisan fervor that often engulfs us.  I fought, continue to serve, and bear some of my own emotional scars because I love this nation. I love it for the fact that we can have an impassioned, and at times angry, dialogue without tearing our social fabric apart.

I appreciate Ms. Stokes’ sentiment. I, too, agree with the importance of remembering and paying respect to all those who have places on Fort Knox named in their honor. After all, it is because of their distinguished service and sacrifices for which they were bestowed this long-lasting tribute. Also important is that the activities carried out at these sites be in keeping with common decency and Army Values.
