2 Fort Knox
Находится в штате Кентукки южнее г. Луисвилла; военная база, место расположения бронетанковой школы Сухопутных войск [ Armor School, U.S. Army], за что получил прозвище "Родина бронетанковых войск" [Home of the Armor], и авиабазы Годман [Godman Air Force Base]. В 1917 здесь был создан тренировочный лагерь [ boot camp], форт основан в 1918 и назван в честь генерал-майора Г. Нокса [ Knox, Henry]. В 1935 Министерство финансов [ Department of the Treasury, U.S.] основало здесь хранилище золотого запаса [ Gold Bullion Depository, U.S.]. Отсюда происходит фразеологизм "all the gold in Fort Knox" = "несметное богатство". Во время второй мировой войны здесь также хранились такие документы, как Конституция США [ Constitution, U.S.], Декларация независимости [ Declaration of Independence], Библия Гутенберга, Геттисбергское послание [ Gettysburg Address], находящиеся в ведении Национального управления архивов и документации [ National Archives and Records Administration] -
