Col. Philip J. Zimmerman, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, ceremoniously cuts the first slice of cake at the Cherry Point Marine Corps Exchange Sept. 20 to celebrate the Marine Corps Exchange’s 115th anniversary. Patrons, staff members and Marines joined Zimmerman, surrounding the cake and a cupcake tower in the exchange’s front foyer. “What’s kept the Marine Corps Exchange around all of these years is we are part of the Marine family. It’s on base and it’s just for them,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Daniel Esping, a retail officer at the exchange. “We are dialed in to our community and to our customers, which are Marines.” The Marine Corps Exchange offers products, goods and services on Marine Corps installations tax free for convenience and service to Marines and their families. They operate similarly to a department store, including a military clothing section and service operations like dry cleaners and barbershops. “It’s a service back to them for the service they provided their country,” said Esping.
