  • By Mike Prero Most of You Will Not Be Surprised to Learn That, Since World War II, the United States Has Maintained More Foreign
    by Mike Prero Most of you will not be surprised to learn that, since World War II, the United States has maintained more foreign sites for its military forces than any other country in the world (you pay for them, after all!). But (and here‟s where your tax dollars really start paying dividends), lucky for us, many have produced their own special matchcovers. There have been hundreds of U.S. foreign military locations since World War II, from tiny Pacific islands that only geographers and military strategists have ever heard of to more recent sites, such as in Saudi Arabia...Naval bases, such as Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, and Atsugi Naval Air Station, Japan; Air bases, such as Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, and Goose Air Base, Labrador; Army posts, such as U.S. Army Post Orleans, France, and Camp Alpha, Saigon, Vietnam. There are even overseas military recreational areas, such as Garmisch in Bavaria (Southern Germany). Many have since been closed, of course, as first one party‟s administration shrinks the Military and then the other party‟s administration builds the Military back up again. Thus, aside from the waning state of matchcovers in general, the output of matchcovers from such sites has fallen off drastically since “the good ol‟ days.” As is usually the case, however, there is still a goodly amount of these covers to be had. continued on p.3 Normally, one doesn‟t see them advertised as „foreign U.S. military bases‟ in auctions, simply because sellers don‟t bother to break them down into that category.
