Marc’s Story: Army Brat

Which branch of the service are you connected to, how, and when?

I was an Army brat from 1951-1963.

Best tour of duty location and why?

Fort Bliss, TX. First school where all the classmates were also Brats. Also summer vacation activities were great!

How do you answer the question “Where are you from?”

I just say I’m a military Brat. Most people understand.

Where do you call home?

I don’t consider anywhere “home.” I currently live in China, but that’s not what I consider to be my home. Any military base feels like home though.

Thank you, Marc, for sharing your story!
