The Royal Bahamas Defence Force distributed bags of groceries to assist retired officers of the force and the families of marine officers who died.

The Royal Bahamas Defence Force Veterans Association teamed up with the force’s Veterans Affair Department to distribute over 100 parcels to provide relief to its members affected by the hardships of COVID-19.

Spearheaded by President of the Veterans Association, Chief Petty Officer (Retired) Harold Bosfield said, “During these times of uncertainty, we thought it fitting to provide some relief of need, hardship or distress to our members.

“It is but a little gesture, but as a former member of the Defence Force, we are still one family.”

Commodore Raymond King commended the RBDF Veterans Association for their support to veterans and former comrades.

The Royal Bahamas Defence Force Rangers are giving back in the form of community service.

They offered assistance to the Coral Harbour community in a clean-up effort, trimming trees off the sidewalks and removing unwanted debris from the main Coral Harbour stretch.

Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Dwight Rolle said, “Overall, it was a great learning experience for the young Rangers. They were excited about grasping the concept of giving back to the community.”

The RBDF Rangers program consist of junior and senior high school students.
