AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST TO DISCUSS NEW BOOK HONORING CAMP PENDLETON MARINES

The Oceanside Public Library is proud to host award-winning multimedia journalist and Marine Corps veteran
Amy Forsythe to discuss her book, Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines Since 9/11, and to talk about its inception and the war memorials and tributes located within the Base.

This event will be held in the Civic Center Library Community Rooms, located at 330 North Coast Highway, on Saturday, May 14, 2022 at 2:00 p.m.  
 
In addition, following her three deployments to Afghanistan and two combat tours in Iraq, Forsythe curated an exhibit of her photography to “put a human face on war.” This exhibit will be displayed in the Civic Center Library for four weeks and will provide an opportunity for our community to reflect on the 20 years in which many of our Oceanside military members were deployed at least once to Afghanistan and/or Iraq.   
 
Amy Forsythe is an award-winning multimedia journalist and military combat veteran with more than 28 years of experience in storytelling, communications and multimedia content creation. Amy deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as a U.S. Marine Combat Correspondent and now continues to serve as a Public Affairs Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve.

This free program supports the Oceanside Public Library’s Veterans Connect at the Library initiative and is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Libraries and Veterans National Forum. The Libraries and Veterans National Forum was born out of efforts from librarians at the Texas A&M University Libraries and their desire to better learn from other libraries' efforts to support the veteran and military communities.
