uncle milty
commented on Adak "National Forest"
In 1956 when I was stationed on Adak, my under standing was there were a number of trees planted by the army shortly after the island was taken from the Japanese because there were no trees on the island and only ONE of the trees survived after six years and the sign "YOU ARE NOW ENTERING AND LEAVING THE ADAK NATIONAL FORREST" was erected as a joke because it was the only tree that lived. I am glad to see that there are thirty-three trees now. Hope spring eternal. uncle milty
