Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station The original "Point" was on the south side of the Neuse River east of Hancock Creek, and the word "Cherry" came from cherry trees that once grew on the "Point." Today, an avenue of young cherry trees grows along the main boulevard inside the entrance to the air station. Cherry Point's contribution to the Korean War effort was to provide a steady stream of trained aviators and air crewmen as well as maintenance and support personnel as replacements to forward deployed aviation units. More than 49,000 people make up the Cherry Point-related population, including active duty and retired Marines, the civilian workforce, and their dependents. www.globalsecurity.org /military/facility/cherry-point.htm   (1916 words)
