20 Years Ago Options

[Phil_D11102]

On Sept 11th 1992, the United States Air Force officially ended it's presence at RAF Greenham Common. With one potential enemy no longer on the horizon, no one could see the two new potential enemies waiting in the wings. One was those who think they can push their agenda's on unarmed civilians, and caused the largest terrorist attack up to this point just 9 years after the USAF left RAF Greenham Common.

The second enemy has been what I see as the the economic downfall of the area. While there has been no published reports on the subject, has the local area been as prosperous as it had been during the years of 1951 to 1992, and in particular onward from 1979.

Personally I don't think the town has been the same vibrant place when the USAF where here, and I am speaking in terms of jobs and money being spent in the local area in goods and services.

As an American I fell in love with the local area, but I think something is greatly lacking.
