The Mobile Chamber and its Military Affairs Committee honored retired, current and future military leaders during its 38th Annual Military Appreciation Lunch held at the USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park. The presenting sponsor was Columbia Southern University.

"Honoring the servicemen and women who drive progress at home and abroad is a true privilege. We also proudly recognize the young cadets who will carry Mobile’s military tradition forward as the next generation of leaders," said Mobile Chamber President and CEO Bradley Byrne.

The program paid tribute to the impact military personnel have on the local business community and included several awards for each branch of the military and recognized outstanding ROTC and JROTC cadets.
