YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Every Monday, 13 On Your Side likes to honor those that serve our country and in today's Military Matters we highlight U.S. Marines with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron (H&HS) as they conduct a change of command ceremony.

Lt. Col. Michael K. Hayes relinquished command of the squadron to Lt. Col. Matthew P. Dineen at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma on July 3.

Change of command ceremonies are a tradition that symbolize the transfer of authority and responsibility from one commanding officer to another.

Congratulations and thank you for your service.
