Camp Hamilton Veterans Memorial Park

This is a family tree was dedicated by David Lopez, a retired Army 1st Sgt. He originally dedicated the tree to his father, Thomas Lopez, who was in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Then his Uncle Isidoro "Chato" Lopez, also a WWII veteran, passed away. David's cousin Michael Morales Calvillo, who served in both the Army and Marines, died. Michael had served during Desert Storm. David and his family come out to Camp Hamilton every Veterans Day and Memorial Day. They have a family gathering around their tree. David's stepson, Mike Contreras, served in the Navy and is heavily involved in our ceremonies. Noemi is also heavily involved in community veteran gatherings.
