Lost & found formal wear in Jacksonville

lost ties near Camp Lejeune, Jacksonville

I am in Jacksonville, North Carolina, and I was rushing through the hallway outside the Marine Corps Base Gate at 5:20 PM last Tuesday when I realized my two ties were missing from my jacket pocket. I left a bag on a bench by the gate while I grabbed a quick coffee on College Street, and when I came back the ties were gone and the corridor had thinned out. They are blue silk with narrow navy stripes, one a gift from my grandfather and the other the tie I wore to my first big presentation. I am terrified at the thought of facing the week without them; they carry too much memory to replace.
