<p>The beautiful Defense Department has decided to close my Air Guard base in Mansfield, Ohio. What better news could happen for NE Ohio and myself? If anyone knows of any petitions or the like to keep bases open, please let me know.</p>
<p>I somehow doubt that we can petition the Pentagon. Your community will find new ways to help the local economy. The base in our area was ok.</p>
<p>I’m all for closing bases. We can save 50 billion dollars by doing it. And most of the bases are reserve troops anyways.</p>
<p>I am for closing bases except mine also LOL. Louisville, KY is like a 6 hour drive. If the base truly does close, I will probably just get out :(</p>
<p>Mansfield is kind of a minor area compared to some of the other bases. They are also closing bases in Cleveland and Akron so don’t feel too bad. It doesn’t seem like Mansfield is as bustling as it used to be, IMO. (I live right next to Richland County).</p>
<p>ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!</p>
<p>Sorry…I couldn’t resist…it’s what I thought of when I read the title</p>
