El Toro Marines Deserve Thanks
* We have lived north of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station for 35 years and have noticed how quiet it is in the mornings since the F18s recently moved to Miramar in San Diego. There was noise, but it had an important national purpose that we understood and accepted.
With the aircraft went some very fine men and women who were pilots, ground crews and other support groups. The Marines have always been good neighbors and have provided prompt and valuable assistance during fires, floods and various accidents. They participated in all aspects of life in our communities and will no doubt do so in their new home.
We hope they will accept this note of appreciation for all they have done for us over the past 50 years!
