Camp Hamilton Veterans Memorial Park

Howard Gin was quite a character. He was a Marine Corps veteran who served in Korea. When he left the service, Howard entered politics in the Bay Area, even claiming that he was the mayor of Chinatown. Howard was an incredible cook. At 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, and Camp Hamilton functions, Howard could be found in the kitchen. His best dish was duck. When you visit Camp Hamilton for Memorial Day and Veterans Day, you will notice a set of state flags. Those flags were donated by Howard.
