Read the articles I wrote for the Thule AFB Greenland newspaper, "The Thule Times"!
My Grandson was the assistant editor, and asked for some info about the USCG and USAF in Greenland, as he said, "Back in the Day". These are in .pdf format, and you'll need Acrobat Reader to read them.If you haven't seen an official base e-newspaper, they are pretty interesting overall as well.
