MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. -- The Marine Corps Association held a luncheon at Miller’s Landing, Jan. 11, to learn about the future of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.
“The Marine Corps Association is the preeminent association for all Marines,” said East Coast MCA representative and retired Sgt. Maj. Adam Terry. “The MCA exists to provide professional development, military education, and knowledge about what takes place across the Marine Corps.”
“We wanted to recognize the Marine Corps Association members in the area, and offer them an opportunity to listen to Maj. Gen. Davis’ perspective of operations and the future of Marine Corps aviation,” said MCA president, retired Maj. Gen. Edward G. Usher.
“The other objective of this event was to provide some professional military education to the Marines that are currently taking the corporals course here at the air station,” he said.
Maj. Gen. Jon M. Davis, 2nd MAW commanding general, said he was excited about having the opportunity to speak at the event.
“This was a chance for me to tell 2nd MAW’s story, I like to go talk about what our Marines are doing,” said Davis.
Davis went on to say that he believes that everyone benefited from the event, especially the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point-based Marines that were in the crowd.
“The Marines that attended work in their own individual units, but this was a good change for them to hear about what the rest of the wing is doing and see how they fit into the bigger picture,” he said.
