Military - Oceanside, California, United States
OUR PASSION: As part of an honored tradition, upon returning from battle, Marine units always conduct a formal memorial service at Camp Pendleton for their fallen brothers and sisters and for their families. This is the fulfillment of the Marine promise that "no one is left behind and no one is forgotten." These services, held at the unit's home location, are both beautiful and heartbreaking. These locations become a very special place of remembrance and reflection for the Marines and their families and provide a tranquil setting to gather together, to grieve and to commemorate the loss of their loved ones. In recognition of the service and sacrifice of the 11th Marine Regiment, we want to establish a special place at Las Pulgas specifically designed to honor the proud history of these Marines and Sailors and to serve as a special place of reflection and celebration.OUR PURPOSE: To organize and work together with a team to raise donations that will support the construction of a "Ceremonial Garden" area at Camp Las Pulgas aboard Camp Pendleton. This garden will be located between the chapel and Fiddler's Green at Las Pulgas and it will be a serene place to recognize and honor the Marines and Sailors of 11th Marines along with the Regiment's proud history. It will be a quiet venue for veterans, families, and friends to gather and remember their Marines and Sailors, especially those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in past combat. The Ceremonial Garden will also serve as a celebratory site for promotions, award ceremonies, re-enlistments, and retirements, as well as a special place to honor all of our Cannon Cocker veterans. Our concept includes a two-tiered plaza large enough for formations, visitors, unit emblems and signage to commemorate our veterans and the battles they fought.Neither the United States Marine Corps nor any other component of the Department of Defense has approved, endorsed, or authorized the 11th Marines Ceremonial Garden organization.
