WILLEMSTAD, Curacao ( Monday, August 15, 2011) -On August12, 2011, a contingent of 20 U.S. Forward Operation Location (USFOL) personnel donated their time to an incredible effort to help clean the Marriott Public Beach. The men and women of the U.S. FOL partnered with volunteers from the Marriott Hotel.

The effort to help protect the island’s unique natural resources benefits tourists and the local community. A USFOL volunteer observed, “Many families from the local community use this beach. And so it’s nice to make it as clean as the other island beaches.”

The U.S. FOL personnel have been long-time advocates for the local community and this was yet another outstanding effort to promote a continued healthy environment and well-being for the citizens and habitat of Curaçao.
