Marines and their families gather and eat food at the annual Pig Pickin’, sponsored by the Havelock Military Affairs Committee at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, March 30, 2017. More than 200 people, including Marines with Marine Attack Training Squadron 203, Marine Aircraft Group 14, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, family members and members of the Havelock community attended the event. The Havelock MAC started the Pig Pickin’ tradition in 1992 as a way to show community support of service members on the air station, increase unit morale, and reconnect Marines with their families.
