Veteran’s Day thoughts . . . Cincinnati related and otherwise.
- Cincinnati was named after the Society of Cincinnati, a Revolutionary War veteran’s group.
- Places like Fort Thomas, Fort Wright, Fort Mitchell, and Camp Dennison all have military pasts.
- When I was young I always thought it was odd that my father was stationed in Germany during the Korean Conflict and not in Korea.
- Fort Washington was used as a military base only from 1789 to 1803.
- Four ships have been named the USS Cincinnati. The last was a submarine decommissioned in 1996. There was an effort to bring all or part of it here but it was literally scrapped.

It's really unfortunate that the USS Cincinnati wasn't able to come here and be docked on the Ohio River as a submarine museum of some sorts. It would have been really unique with local importance and would have been a nice attraction on the riverfront.
