MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  The Air Force and Army Exchange Service hosted a car show here on MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., in honor of Military Appreciation Day March 10.

In conjunction with the Community Services Transformation and in honor of Military Appreciation Day, AAFES hosted its third annual car show. The 6th Force Support Squadron provided food, other vendors provided specialty beverages and tax services, and car enthusiasts got the chance to get a close look at many vehicles you'll never see on the road.

There were more than 50 unique and exquisite cars showcased at the MacDill Exchange which competed for awards in multiple categories. In addition to awards, door prizes were given out to spectators with one attendee taking home a brand new grill.

"It was great to watch three generations come together in one place to celebrate America's love for cars. Tampa boasts lots of car shows, but when MacDill hosts one, it's a community event like no other," said Col. Lenny Richoux, 6th Air Mobility Wing commander.
