The
Nike Historical
Society, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, was founded to preserve in history the
critical role Nike Missile Systems played in the air defense of our
nation and other nations throughout the free world. The primary focus
of
the Society is to provide technical assistance and support to
organizations for restoration projects and/or historical legends. The
Society also insures that accurate and proper interpretations of the
Nike Missile System are adhered to. In addition, the Society, through
the site historian, is available to answer questions pertaining to the
Nike system.
All profits that the
Nike
Historical Society makes from sales through the online store will be
spent to further the goals (stated above) of the Society.
The Nike
Historical Society
is a group of Nike veterans and enthusiasts who are striving to keep
the
memory of the Nike program alive. Our objective is to support
the
restoration of Nike sites throughout the United States, to insure that interpretation of
these sites is accurate, and to assist
with technical information. In addition, we are here to answer
questions about the Nike missile system and the role it played in the defense
of
our nation and our allies during the Cold War.
Though the society was conceived and implemented by Nike Veterans,
anyone interested in furthering its aims may become a member.
New memberships are $25 for the first year. All renewing memberships are
$20 per year. The additional $5 for new members pays for the societies expense for shipping items to new members. Membership fees, except the additional $5 for new members, are tax deductible. You are not limited to a one year membership, whether you are a new member or are renewing. You can sign up or renew for as many years as you want. The amount is $20 per year.

“Can
You Picture
This?”
How
many times have
you tried to picture something from your youth? Sometimes a
picture forms when you smell a familiar smell or hear a familiar tune
on
the radio. What brings back the memory? Don't you sometimes just wish
you had those pictures always at the ready whenever you want to see
them in your minds eye? I know most of us wish we could,
especially
those of us that served in the Army Air Defense Command. Now
you
can get something to show your friends and family. Al
Kellogg, a
Nike Hercules VET who served at C Battery, 2nd of the 51st Arty, San Rafael, California is offering two prints of his pen and ink work. These
prints are the beginning of a series of prints depicting the Nike
story. The first of the series depicts a
Nike Hercules Launching Area, with the IFC in the background.
The second in this series is a wonderful assemblage of an
IFC. These 8.5"
by 11" pen and inks would be great for your
wall or desk. Get your memory back
as soon as
you can. As you know, if you can remember, we were not
allowed to
take pictures or make drawings of our sites when we were there. You
can
have your very own NOW. These wonderful pen and inks are popular,
so get yours now.
You
can purchase a signed unframed copy of this print for only
$25.
