Unit commanders and their cadre from Beaufort’s three military installations nominated service members for recognition by the Rotary Club of Beaufort as their Service Members of the Year. The recipients were honored at a military recognition ceremony hosted by the Rotary Club of Beaufort at its Nov. 13 luncheon. The criteria for selection emphasized both outstanding military service and significant activities benefiting the local community.
