Organizers recognized the oldest living Naval Training Center recruits who were trained at the facility
As a child living in the Philippines outside of Manila during World War II, Tom Crosby and his family were captured by Japanese soldiers and held as civilian prisoners of war for three years. Eight years after being rescued by U.S. military personnel in 1945, Crosby and his brother joined the U.S. Navy in 1953 to give back to the community that saved them.
It also holds two letters from seniors at Rock Academy, a copy of the 2001 yearbook for High Tech High's Liberty Station campus, and a can of a Stone Brewing pilsner specially brewed in honor of the centennial, among other items. Naval Training Center San Diego opened in 1923, drawing nearly 2,000 visitors. The 504-acre former naval base was closed in 1997 when the Navy moved its basic training to Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois.
