This VA facility transitioned from one of our country’s earliest frontier calvary posts which was home to both the Fourth and Seventh cavalries. It was at this military installation that the Star Spangled Banner was first required to be played; later it housed World War II German prisoners of war; and today it is also a national training facility for U.S. Army officers.
