On he far side of the small town where I grew up, there used to be a Nike site.
Until the base was decommissioned I worried every night, but to this day I wonder if the Russians got the memo.

That's why I like hearing old war stories, so I can keep them from fading away.

I grew up during the worst days of the Cold War.Β At around midnight, on TV, there'd be these gov't sponsored defense films, showing how America was being defended.Β The Nike Zeus was featured prominently, shooting down a target drone.Β

I had a model of this one years ago. The first Ajax battery was on Hart Island in the Bronx.
