[ChildOfThe60s]

My father was stationed there with the 2nd Marine Division from May 1958 to March 1960.

We lived in Jacksonville for much of that time waiting for base quarters. Not positive, but I believe we were not on base much more than 6 months before he was transferred to HQMC.

He hoped we could make a visit to Lejeune before he passed away in 2003, but were only able to visit PI (his last duty station, retired August 1965).

My father was an honorable man, a credit to the Corps. He died a Marine.
