The Atlantic Health Jets Women’s Organization recently hosted 16 families for a holiday-themed military appreciation event. The AHJWO treated children, wives and husbands of military spouses who are deployed overseas to a day of fun and escape. It was the second annual Jets-hosted event inspired by general manager Mike Maccagnan and his wife Betty.
“It’s a way to say that we are grateful for what they do,” Betty said. “Mike’s father served. His older brother also served for 28 years in the Army, so we’ve gone through several hardship tours with them. We’ve seen what his family went through and they were the inspiration for this event.
