As for use of Military bases - Since Sept 11 2001 - Here in Chi. for 28yrs the Chicagoland USMCR Toys for Tots motorcycle run always the first Sunday in Dec. had our final destination at the USMCR Eugene McCarthy reserve training center on Foster Av. terminated 4 yrs ago- Word came to us that Quantico says no more civilian use of military bases because of Homeland Security, and threat of terrorism. So after 28 yrs we now go to Lane Tech - still with full Honor Guard and plenty of USMC Humvees as part of our parade escort. According to the Corps. Chicagoland Motorcycle Toys for Tots org. is the largest, bar none, toy collector for the USMCR Toys for Tots Program, so they must be serious about further civilian use of military bases now. If this holds true for Air Force bases it may be the bone of contention ? Maybe digging up some viable corporate backing ala. Penzoil, Auto Zone, Champion, Autolite, Goodyear, etc. could help, if a private air strip needs some work the finances maybe could be there for runway enhancement if needed. Just a thought or two I guess.
