    And my grandfather died very tragically saving others in a coal mining accident. I believe he was in the army as well but not entirely sure. No one has talked about it. It's a tough situation.

    I never served but I worked as a civilian on Camp Pendleton. Thank you to everyone who has served. ❤️

    Never saw anyone that was as beautiful as you when I was at Camp Pendleton. On or off base.

    3521 - MotorT mechanic

    Like others, from a long standing military history within my family. Most were Army or Navy. My paternal grandfather was killed in France during WW2.

    I have not served but I've been around military my entire life. I'm a Navy brat, born in San Diego, lived in Virginia Beach and Japan. I currently work for the USMC out of Quantico, working for the Marines and their families to support the programs and businesses. I have organized many care packages to go to our Marines currently deployed overseas.
