VIRGINIA BEACH, Va - Seven Marines from Marine Corps Security Cooperation Group’s motorcycle club pulled out their shovels to clear up a main road aboard Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story, Va., which was draped with sand produced from Super Storm Sandy, Nov. 15.
The one-tenth of a mile stretch on Atlantic Avenue is a primary road used by MCSCG Marines and hundreds of other servicemembers on base to get to and from work, and the Club’s members felt its condition after the storm was a safety concern for all drivers on base.
“The built up of sand caused a safety concern for all drivers. Especially, motorcycle riders,” said Gunnery Sgt. Will Argenbright, president of the club. “It would have been just as effective to call the base clean-up crew to take care of this issue but we felt they had more pressing projects (Super Storm Sandy) requiring their attention.”
This is the first of numerous community projects that the MCSCG motorcycle club president is planning for the upcoming year.
“Part of the club’s bylaws includes reaching out to the community and we want to show our support to those who support us on a regular basis,” said Argenbright, who is a native of Holly Ridge, N.C.
All in all, the clean-up took the Marines about an hour of labor to complete but according to one of its base residents, the effect of their selfless service will be lasting.
