Memorial Gardens | Fallen Heroes Tributes | Jacksonville, NC
8.26.2021; a day that changed the lives of 13 servicemen & women & their loved ones (and anyone who loves our military and our country) forever.
They were only doing their job - a job they loved.
Jay and I felt the need to pay our respects the only way we could. We have a beautiful Memorial Garden in Jacksonville (the home of Camp Lejeune) that has so much more than what I've shown here but I will do more videos in the future.
There's no way to express our gratitude and sadness for these incredible sacrifices.
According to Military Times: "Eleven Marines, one Navy corpsman and one soldier were “killed as the result of an enemy attack while supporting non-combatant evacuation operations,” according to a Saturday press release from the Department of Defense..."
