Hamilton Deputy Secretary Kevin Cherry August 10, 2018 Rick Richardson [email protected] Cultural Resources Program, USMC Camp Lejeune 12 Post Lane MCIEast-MCB Camp Lejeune Camp Lejeune, NC 28547 Re: Historic Resource Re-evaluation Report, Stone Bay Rifle Range Historic District, Camp Lejeune, Onslow County, ER 07-2777 Dear Mr. Richardson: Thank you for your email of July 19, 2018, transmitting the above-referenced report. We have reviewed the materials submitted regarding the Stone Bay Rifle Range Historic District (ON1030), which was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2000. We concur that a boundary decrease is warranted. However, we recommend that the boundary continue to include the remaining contributing structures of the “village.” The revised south boundary would run east with Powder Lane across Rifle Range Road to the eastern district boundary as shown on the enclosed map. We concur that the district remains eligible for listing under Criterion A for military history. Furthermore, we believe the district to be eligible under Criterion C as the entirety of the complex, village and ranges, represents a “significant and distinguished entity” of military design and construction. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.

And they remind me of the importance of keeping alive the memoires of our war dead. In other words, by bearing witness we are keeping alive the memory of our beloved comrades who died in Vietnam. “Remembrance” is one of the tripods that holds up the brotherhood of the USMC Vietnam Tankers Association. It is imperative that each of us helps with this memorial. Need I remind you that if you die with your own story of your time in-country untold, there may be no witness to keep your memory alive.
