Signal Corp Museum


We visited the Signal Corp Museum on Ft Gordon this week. I was impressed with the displays. My favorites were the piece of the Berlin Wall (like we saw at Ft Bragg) and the crucifix made by a Vietnam War POW. The crucifix was made from scrap leather and electrical wire insulation.

Military communication has come from signal flags, signal mirrors, pigeons, switchboard and telegraph wires to satellite communication.
Notice that the lizard we saw on the wall of the museum has some plastic wrapped around its body. Some how it got stuck in it and has been wearing it ever since.
