Col. Thomas A. Pecina, left, and Michelle McBride, right, pose for a photo as they cut a cake March 16 at the Camp Foster Community Center during an event commemorating the start of the Okinawa 2015 Active Duty Fund Drive for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. The NMCRS provides financial relief to active duty and retired Marines and sailors as well as their eligible surviving family members through interest-free loans and grants. A large portion of those loans and grants are raised through the ADFD, which gives active duty military a chance to donate and help their fellow service members in need. Pecina is the commanding officer of Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan, and McBride is the director of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Okinawa office. - Col.
