My older brother, Sp5 Ken Christenson, was stationed at Fort Sheridan in the late 1950's. I don't know what unit he was with, but he worked on the airfield and many times was the traffic controller in the tower. I visited several times and was never bored or lacked something to do. I remember that the lake was cold, even in late summer....

I was stationed at Fort Sheridan from 67 to 1968 assigned to the 5th Army Security Detachment MP's, left service August 22,1968. Only knew one or two guys from 202 MP's. Like to hear from anyone assigned to 5th Army Security Detachment, we stated out in Chicago moved to Fort Sheridan I believe in May of 1967. I did many Honor Guard duties at both Chicago and at Fort Sheridan. Great Place right on the lake.

I was a member of The Fifth Army Band at Ft. Sheridan from April 1968-Sept. 1969. We did tons of PR throughout a 17 state area and were sometimes known as Mayor Daley's band since he seemed to use us so much. We were around 100+ and were admitted by audition only. At that time we were just as good as the prime D.C. military bands. We were selected to do both President Eisenhower and President Truman's funerals in their respective home towns. Operation Kansas and Operation Missouri. The base always seemed to get really nervous when Gen. Westmoreland would pay a call for awards ceremonies. A base party in 1968 was fantastic-Lobsters flown in from Maine, steaks on the grill(all you could eat of course) and beer trucks with tappers on the side. Great duty!! Mstr. Sgt./1st Sgt.
