Today we are recognizing their commitment. They don’t get payed so this is a way to recognize them for their hard work.” The awards given out ranged from recognition of 25 hours to 7000 hours. The society also recognized the volunteers who are in-between awards, by presenting them with small gifts of appreciation. ( Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Nicholas Lubchenko)
