NAS Keflavik
For those that know me or my family you probably have heard the stories of our time overseas. It you don’t know, we spent four and a half years in Keflavik Iceland right before my father retired from the Navy. I am sad to say that tonight my father found an article in the Icelandic base paper, The White Falcon, discussing the base’s closure.
Many people at Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland, knew the base could be closed down. Rumors that the U.S. would one day pull out of the remote Cold War post has circulated for years… On March 15, however, the U.S. government announced it would close the base by this October, ending a 65-year American military presence in the country in just over six months.

To all of those at NAS Keflavik I wish you well and hope you enjoyed the beautiful island and the wonderful people as much as we did.
