Our Story in Pictures Since 2007

Founded in 2007, FONSS is an Anchorage community organization working to preserve Nike Site Summit as a monument to Cold War Veterans and to educate present and future generations about the Cold War.  In 2009, a Programmatic Agreement managed by JBER became the guiding document for stabilization and restoration of the structures at Nike Site Summit to preserve most of the site and allow public tours.  Since 2010, FONSS has successfully leveraged volunteer labor, professional contributions, private donations, in-kind donations, equipment and material donations, state and local grants, as well as discounted services from contractors, to preserve six buildings at Nike Site Summit.

The trainer missile main body is moved from the transport trailer to a forklift so it can be moved to storage near the Launch Bunker at Nike Site Summit.  Restoration work began in summer 2023.
