Young Marines stacking sandbages in front of the building.

The Olympic Coast Young Marines were called out twice to fill sandbags. The first night we filled aproximately 350 in one and a half hours. The second night we filled aproximately 800 in three hours plus lined the perimeter of the airport buildings with sandbages. All of our success was due to good teamwork, leadership, and of course good physical strength. oohrah!
