<div>

Military Appreciation Day was held Saturday, Sept. 7 at Atlantic Marine Corps Communities in Laurel Bay in Beaufort. The free event for all military families and friends was a thank you for their service and sacrifices.  It’s an annual tradition that has been going on for many years.  This year’s event was presented by the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities, and MCCS.  Many local businesses and organizations also helped make it happen by donating food, drinks, prizes, and their time.  The event was full of free entertainment for the military families including music, jump castles, face painting, games, prizes, food, and fun. There was a huge crowd with a lot of great fun! Photos by Captured Moments Photography.
