I am SO happy to be sharing this homecoming with you today! With a tight schedule and the uncertainty that comes with Marine Corps homecomings, I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to capture it. Luckily, the timing worked out PERFECTLY and I was so happy to be there as Lindsey received that amazing first hug and kiss!
I arrived at the 33 Area just a few moments before an announcement was made that these Marines had passed through the Fallbrook gate, which meant that they were aboard Camp Pendleton! About 20 minutes later, the bus rolled in and the guys were returning their weapons at the armory. What seemed like just a few moments to me, I’m sure felt like eternity to these families! Soon enough, the Marines and Sailors marched across the street to the basketball courts and were released to their loved ones.
A big welcome home to Bravo Company of 1st Recon Battalion and especially Pat!
Thank you, Lindsey, for allowing me to capture Pat’s homecoming!
