Project Nike - Public Display in Everglades

Public Display in Everglades

As the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis approaches, a group of students attending the George T. Baker Aviation School are restoring a Nike Hercules missile for display at one of the original launch sites in the Everglades. The missile was salvaged from a US Army depot in Alabama. It will be on public display at HM69 Nike Missile Base, which is operated by the National Park Service.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or display:

    “Writing is not chewing your nails and picking your teeth, but a matter of public interest.”
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    “Housekeeping is not beautiful; it cheers and raises neither the husband, the wife, nor the child; neither the host nor the guest; it oppresses women. A house kept to the end of prudence is laborious without joy; a house kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
