The Royal Bahamas Defence Force Officers of Entry 33/ Woman Entry 7 -- “No Limit Marines” celebrated 19 years on the job on Thursday, November 09, 2017.

As part of this grand celebration, the officers decided to further their contributions to the Bahamian public by paying a special visit to NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) to donate toiletries and other useful goods to hurricane victims on the Family Islands.

Petty Officer V. Evans on behalf of the team said, “We wanted to show The Bahamas that we care beyond the protection of the borders by giving a helpful donation that could benefit those affected by Hurricane Irma.”

She also highlighted that Lowe’s played a part in helping to make this contribution. Director of NEMA, Captain Stephen Russell received the provisions which he said will be sent to those victims in Acklins via Royal Bahamas Defence Force flight the following day. Captain Russell expressed that “This is a delightful twist from the Royal Bahamas Defence Force from their great contribution of protecting our borders to a tangible contribution that is greatly appreciated.”
