Terminal Civilian-approved!
On October 27, 2018, I left a heart-shaped quartz necklace charm on a rusty dip can on the Corpsmen bench from my German mother, who was an au pair in the States during the '70s, and her parents gave it to her as a reminder of their love, to bring her luck, and protect her. The last time I was in Niederkrüchten, Germany, she gave it to me as a parting present with the intent that it would return to America. I hope the symbolism behind this beautiful rock also touches the hearts of Marines and sailors alike, whether they are alive or dead. ♡
This hike was challenging yet also the most-fulfilling hike I've ever done on a MCB, and upon first sight of the crosses and flags, an aura hits you. It's a very peaceful place.
Very moving and very humbling. Pretty cool view of the surrounding area as well.
Very humbling experience.
Very moving monument to fallen Marines and the Corpsman who serve with them.
