WELCOME
Members of the 9th Infantry
We wish to take this opportunity to welcome to
the Fairbanks community the members of the 9th In
fantry Regiment who gyroscoped to Eielson and Ladd
last week.
The people of Fairbanks are a friendly sort and will
go out of their way to make the men and women of
the 9th feel at home during their tour of duty at the
nearby bases.
Alaska, 9th Infantry men will find, is an interesting
place. The city, itself, has all the modern facilities found
in any community in the States. Its people have all the
friendliness of a small town.
The idea that we are isolated here can soon be dis
pelled. There is plenty to do and plenty of places to
visit. Highways afford opportunities to get out into the
hills. Sports, in general, include baseball and basket
ball as well as bowling and other indoor sports. Military
participation is invited. The many clubs and organiza
tions within the city invite their military friends to join
them.
We hope that members of the 9th will enjoy their
tour of duty in the Far North.
