Parade Grounds Gazebo Ornament

The Ornament depicts the Parade Grounds Gazebo located on Offutt Air Force Base.  The gazebo was a gift from the Strategic Air Command Consultation Committee in 1992.  It was part of the Parade Grounds restoration and is similar in design to a gazebo that stood on the grounds from the early 1900s to the 1950s.  Also included in the ornament design are two cannon sets, which are replicas of cannons used on Fort Crook and Offutt AFB until they were melted for iron during World War II.

Offutt AFB, located near the city of Omaha, Nebraska, began its great heritage in 1894 with the construction of Fort Crook.  Fort Crook's flying field was designated Offutt Field in 1924 which later became Offutt Air Force Base in January 1948.  Today, Offutt AFB is  the host base for US Strategic Command (formerly Strategic Air Command) and the Fightin' 55th Wing.

This ornament was produced on behalf of the Offutt AFB Officer's Spouses' Club.
