Postcard - McChord Air Force Base, Washington

"McChord Air Force Base, Washington. Located between Tacoma and Olympia, adjacent to Interstate 5, this premier defense facility serves the entire Pacific Northwest and Alaska. The strategic location provides excellent facilities for communication with all Pacific Rim Countries as well as Western U.S. and Hawaii."

From the late 1970s probably. Mt. Rainier is in the background. This base was merged with neighboring U.S. Army Fort Lewis in 2010 to form Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM).

My Dad was in the Air Force. He served in Europe during the Truman era.
