To take the fight to the enemy, to keep America safe, and to be a global force for good:
After the attacks of 9/11, money started pouring into Guantanamo from the government. $249,000 was spent on a volleyball court, $3.5 million on a bunch of playgrounds, $683,000 to renovate a Starbucks, and $296,000 to build a go kart track. The Guantanamo Bay Gazette, the paper of the naval base, estimates the cost of the track to be $400,000.The track opened in summer 2006 to provide the troops with some entertainment. CAPT Mark Leary, Guantanamo's Commanding Officer cut the ribbon and said "this is just one more step in improving quality of life for the people here in Guantanamo Bay."
Meanwhile, quality of life improvements.
