BACONTON, Ga. — Steve Hoebeke retired from active service as a U.S. Marine nearly two decades ago, but the dress blues still fit. Hoebeke, pictured with three of his granddaughters — Bethany, Emilee and Chloe Phillips (granddaughter Kate was camera shy), attended Friday’s Veterans Day program at Baconton Community Charter School, which his granddaughters attend.
Hoebeke spent just under 23 1/2 years in the Corps before taking a civil service job at Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany, where he is a system analyst, 18 1/2 years ago. A native Alliance, Ohio, he enlisted in the Marines in 1968 and retired in 1991.
Baconton Charter’s program was planned to honor military veterans Friday.
