Ruthie and Bert met in 1978 at Camp Pendleton in California. Ruthie, a Marine, worked in retail at the military PX; Bert, serving in the Navy, worked in a dental clinic across the deck from the PX building.
This Marine and Navy Corpsman found common ground and have now been married for 32 years. On Tuesday, they celebrated Veterans Day together with co-workers at Seward, where both are employees.
