Fort Hamilton gets new commander
Fort Hamilton, the nation’s fourth oldest Army post, held a change of command ceremony July 12.
In a break with tradition, the event took place in the upstairs ballroom of the Community Club instead of outdoors on the bluff.
While it had its share of appropriate pomp and ceremony, sorely missed was a live band and a color guard marching front and center. Instead, the post’s colors were stationary in flag stands.
