GOLF Co MCRD Family Day 01.20.22
Golf Company - 2nd Recruit Training Battalion
I contemplated taking a week off for recouping after my VA appointments got canceled until…. I remembered this would be the SECOND time in history that Marine Core Recruit Depot would have females graduating in its 100 years of history. As a female Veteran, I just had to go! I was booked the morning of by a wonderful sister that wanted her sister to have these memories documented with her new Marine son. They were such a job to spend the day with and I am excited to see them again tomorrow for more portraits!
If you see me tomorrow, on graduation day, please say Hi! I’m the bald girl with a brown double camera harness on :)

Many people confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but each honors a different kind of sacrifice. In this post, San Diego military funeral photographer and U.S. Navy veteran Morgan Liberatore shares the important distinction between the two holidays, explores their historical roots, and reflects on what Memorial Day truly means. With local landmarks like Fort Rosecrans and Mt. Soledad woven into the story, this post invites readers to pause, remember, and honor those who gave everything.
