 Our operation we date back to September 11th, 2001 when two Army quartermaster companies were activated to respond to the Pentagon attacks. Those two quartermaster companies were tasked to recover the remains and the personal effects of the fallen at the Pentagon. From there we moved to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland and then eventually in 2011 we moved here to this facility. The main mission of the Joint Personal Effects Depot is to receive inventory, safeguard and return the personal effects of fallen service members to their families. We mainly process the personal effects of service members who have paid the ultimate price overseas in theaters of operations. This has been a life-changing assignment for me and one of my old coworkers said the best is you don't often get an opportunity to work in a place of honor. And that is all we do here. Our motto here is to honor the fallen and care for their loved ones and we live that mantra every day. Every case that comes through we look at it with new eyes. Being able to take care of that service member in a completely different way than any of us are used to, it has truly been life changing because we're supporting a family and what it could potentially be one of the hardest moments of their life. So if whatever we can do here to help them come to closure, we take pride in that.
