A gallant soldier for a Lost Cause. The tribute is worthy and I was glad to see it without the protestors and rioters. This was an honest homage to a man who did his duty. My family were all Yankees, but honor is honor.

Arrived the day before Family Day. Everyone on post was friendly & helpful. We located Hilton Field which was only minutes from our stay. There is plenty to look at & do on your own. Large playground by the Solomon Center that can entertain children forever. Plenty of food options. The lunch buffet at theNCO club is great! And casual dinner spot at McGruders Pub. Definitely worth the time and $ to stay on post. Never had to leave the area. Will return again if there is a purpose. Courage Worthy!

This is a chain linking two buildings in downtown Columbia. I happen to encounter the Never Bust Chain while checking out the Soda City Market. If you’re walking in the area or you simply like building art, definitely check this out.
