Yuma honors service members on Military Appreciation Day
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Military Appreciation Day returned to downtown Yuma this weekend after a three year hiatus.
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma hosted the event on Saturday, March 16 from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. on Main Street.
Visitors had the opportunity to meet the K-9 unit, rescue unit, and the explosives teams.
"I think opportunities like this to engage with the community are excellent and I always look forward to them because there is a lot of mysticism, I think, about what the Marine Corps is even for the folks that live right by it. And so just us coming outside the gate and getting to interact with them, I think is a great way to really get to know them."
