Jason Marshall
This month’s Operation Vacation family is Jason Marshall, and his wife Kara and their three children, Kaylani, 6, Xavier, 4, and Maya, who is 4 months old.
The family is stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, where they moved to from Missouri more than a year ago. They were chosen as this month’s recipients for Operation Vacation, a nonprofit organization that began in Glenwood Springs and gives military families or couples stationed at Fort Carson a free weekend vacation in mountain communities.
Every month since July of last year, DiAnn Butler, Grand County coordinator of Operation Vacation and owner of Destinations West property management, has arranged for Operation Vacation recipients to spend a weekend in Grand County.
Destination West provides lodging and an itinerary with the support of local sponsors.
1. What is your background in the military?
Jason: I did basic training at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, and then got stationed (at Fort Carson). I was (also) at the National Training Center in California for a month. I’ll go back in April for another month.
