- Col. Chris Hall, St. Louis District commander; Mike Rodgers (standing), project manager; Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, Chief of Engineers; and Maj. Gen. John Peabody, Mississippi Valley Division commander, review progress on rock removal work...... on the Mississippi River near Thebes, IL.

- The folks in the Veterans Curation Program are archiving and preserving photos from the Great Flood of 1927. Some of these images are just incredible.
The flood claimed as many as 500 lives and displaced nearly half a million people. It's i...mpact on our nation prompted tremendous changes in how we approach flood risk management nationwide.

Tim BischoffWe visited and toured the tow boat Mississippi in Cape Girardeau yesterday and it was awesome! It is going to Alton and Chester the next week. It is definitely worth the trip to tour it and play with the river models on the boat.2 · about 5 months ago
- Do you still have a Christmas tree? That's so last year. Why not give it to your local Corps of Engineers lake. We'll turn it into fish habitat so the next thing you find under that tree could be a huge fish.
