Marine Corps veteran Amy Forsythe publishes new book titled Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines Since 9/11

OCEANSIDE, CALIFORNIA, USA, May 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Oceanside Public Library is proud to host a new photo exhibit by award-winning multimedia journalist and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Amy Forsythe.

The exhibit is based on her new book titled 'Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines Since 9/11,' which chronicles the war memorials and tributes located within the sprawling military training facility in north San Diego county.

The exhibit will be on display and open to the public through June 14 and is located at 330 North Coast Highway in Oceanside, California.

Following her three deployments to Afghanistan and two combat tours in Iraq, Forsythe wanted to capture the tributes to the fallen and "put a human face on war." This exhibit provides an opportunity for our community to reflect on the 20 years in which many of the surrounding communities provided support to military members who were deployed at least once to Afghanistan and/or Iraq.
