A temporary home for veterans in Oceanside looks a little nicer following a Thursday visit from some active-duty Camp Pendleton Marines who spruced up the old apartment building with planters, fencing, a canopy and new flag pole.
As he took a break from hammering, one of the volunteers said he was getting something meaningful in return for his work.
“It’s very rewarding,” said Brett Tate, 36, about a day of service he and about a dozen other members of the Wounded Warrior Battalion West performed at the apartment building Interfaith Community Services runs for veterans.
“The older veterans pass down information, knowledge, to us,” he said. “It’s truly an amazing experience. We’ll talk with them and work with them all throughout the day.”
