Figure this one out, lt:

My older brother was born at Camp Kilmer, NJ. I don't think it's there anymore.

i got 1,2,3, and final.

i don't read much.

for effort though!!

Well, I'll be...... Camp Kilmer was actually NAMED for our Mr. Kilmer..............

Looks like the camp was closed early in 1949, then re-opened in 1950 due to the Korean conflict.

"WIKI" says,
In the fall of 1950, with hostilities in Korea, the camp was again reactivated. It was placed on inactive status again in June 1955. In November 1956 it served as an initial place for housing for refugees from the 1956 Hungarian Revolution until June 1957. In March 1958, Camp Kilmer became Headquarters for the US Army II Corps, the controlling headquarters for United States Army Reserve units across the northeast. Camp Kilmer also housed a maintenance and repair facility supporting the NIKE / HERCULES missile sites in the greater New York metropolitan area. This facility included large, armored rooms with heavy blast doors where missile engines and conventional warheads could be worked on without danger to the surrounding area.
Pretty much all of it's functions are now housed / performed at Ft. Dix.

Thanks, lt. Yep. He was born in '53.
