Camp Kearny was a U.S. military base (first Army, later Navy) in San Diego, California, on the site of the current Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. It operated from 1917 to 1946.
Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“Among the interesting thing in camp are the boys. You recollect the boy in Captain McIlrath’s company; we have another like unto him in Captain Woodward’s. He ran away from Norwalk to Camp Dennison; went into the Fifth, then into the Guthries, and as we passed their camp, he was pleased with us, and now is “a boy of the Twenty-third.” He drills, plays officer, soldier, or errand boy, and is a curiosity in camp.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
