11. My father was a career Marine. My sister and I were both born at Camp Pendleton.

My father was headquarters company commander of the First Marines back in the late 50's. I may have his title a little incorrect, but I can remember as a small child going to watch the parades or family day when they were out on maneuvers . Then years later my son joined the Marines and was with the First Marine Division that entered Iraq on the first day of the war. I have a great fondness for Marines. When our son was at war, I would ask Marines for a hug if I saw one. My father was in WWII (fighter pilot in the South Pacific), Korea, and Vietnam. For a good portion of his career, he was an intelligence officer. I cannot imagine how he would feel right now if he were alive.
