EATONTOWN, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey's Fort Monmouth will close for good Thursday and its mission that began 94 years ago will be transferred to Maryland.
The Army post's flag will be lowered at 4:30 p.m. when "Retreat" is sounded for the last time.
The property will be turned over to a 14-member force that will maintain and secure it while a government commission seeks developers for its 1,100-plus acres.

I appreciate the mention Joe. I was one of the last people to leave Ft. Monmouth today, most had already left as this was part of the BRAC '05 plan. It's sad to see the former home of the signal corp closed.
