Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines

Amy Forsythe is an award-winning military photojournalist who served as a U.S. Marine and is currently in the U.S. Navy Reserve as a Public Affairs Officer. She’s served five combat tours and has been on assignment for several other overseas missions during her career. Her imagery taken while covering military operations around the world has been featured in numerous international and national media outlets through the years and continues to be used for historical purposes. She holds a bachelor’s degree from CSU San Marcos (2005) and a Master’s of Science from University of San Diego (2009).

Her book “Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines” started as a passion project to showcase the memorials and markers on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and it turned into a collaborative work of art that honors our fallen Marines of the post-9/11 generation. She now works with other veterans to help them pursue their goals of becoming a published author.

Amy was first stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, in 1995 and still has strong ties to the base and surrounding communities. She's involved in supporting various veteran service organizations in San Diego County and around the country.
