All Wars Militaria Show
The MUSEUM OF THE MARINE sponsored its 2nd Annual Militaria Show conjunction with a Motorcycle Poker Run and Car Show during April 16-17 at the Sander’s Ford warehouse on Highway 17 in Jacksonville. The Militaria Show featured five North Carolina dealers offering a variety of military items for sale or trade. In addition, retired Marine Lamar Scott of McDonough, GA brought a phenomenal display of uniforms and equipment. The display covered items from World War 1 through today and included 60 fully dressed mannequins.

The riders enjoyed a two pig, pulled-pork feast. Saturday’s attendance exceeded 200.
