I\'ve been fascinated with cold war history all my life (born in 1978) and typing this as I sit in my car at D26. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you\'ve put into this site!

Hi There!

I live up the road from dual site in Carlton, Mi. I\'ve been interested in these sites for years. Sometimes, I think America would have been better off, if we would have kept up these sites and upgraded them as time went on. This is especially since times today with Russia and China. If these sites had been active, 9/11 would have never happened. But, instead, we shut them down to fund a war in Vietnam that was based on a utter lie. :rage:

**** the cowardly and crooked Kennedy and Johnson Presidents! May they rot in the Devil\'s hell.

From April, 1958 through October, 1959, I was assigned to Battery A , Third Missile Battalion, 55th Artillery, Detroit, Michigan USARADCOM. During that time I served as Platoon Leader of Area 23. It was located on the Detroit River. The Lawrence Fisher estate was to our north. Our missiles were housed on the northern tip of Belle Isle. The Battery Commander at the time was Capt. Charles Cook and the Executive Officer was Capt. Ted Manross. The Platoon Leader for Area 26 was Lt. Roy Keenan. I have a very clear aerial photograph of Area 23 as it stood at that time (buildings all identifiable) if anyone is interested.

I was stationed on Belle Isle from 1956 to 1959. When I tell people that I was stationed on an island they start thinking places like the south pacific. No, I was on an island in the Detroit river.LOL

Hi ,

I grew up in Willowick, The Eastlake Ohio NIKE SITE is remembered well , My late Father recalled rockets on the launch pads - in Willowick ( now Manry park ) barracks & two towers were present & surrounded by barbed wire for a long time
Willowick also had a site with barracks & barbed wire on the fencing surrounding the now Dudley park

I recall going to Cleveland and seeing numerous barracks just past Bratenahl ( spelling ) just before Lake Erie came into view on the right , headinfd West on the Highway to Cleveland from Willowick

My father, John Hellhake was stationed at Belle Isle from August 1955 to 1958. Today he was in town and we took him to the island. He loved it, and was telling us where everything was located. Pits, barracks, mess hall, fueling station, etc.
