They are happy to be home after a lengthy mission to Dominica, but members of the Barbados Defence Force (BDF) are also happy to have served.
The HMBS Leonard C Banfield docked at the HMBS Pelican, signalling the end of the Coast Guard’s three-month excursions to the hurricane hit CARICOM nation yesterday.
HMBS Leonard C Banfield electronic technician, Leading Seaman Taria Jackman described the mission as simply “an experience”, having been on nine rotations.
“In 2015 I experienced the first storm, which was Erica and now to experience Maria, it was a vast difference,” said Jackman who noted the BDF would always be there to assist in the event of a disaster.
Thanks to Barbados and it Defense Forces you were there in Erica and now Maria.I suggest the Government of Dominica should Invite all who served in both Erica and Maria are VIP ticket at the next world Creole music festival.Airline tickets compliment Liat.someone from Liat reading I hope.
I woulf think as a soverign nation.we need to jion st.kitts and haiti and reinstate our own army.the dominica drfence force.
That would be fine and good as long as the leaders on the island do not misuse the force to abuse the people or to rough up peaceful protestors. Last thing you need is bunch of people running around in military uniforms roughing up and intimidating people who do not agree with government and are protesting peacefully.
Yep i agree with you.
I guess as a soverign nation we need to folloe st
Ktts anf haiti
And reinstste our own millitary force.
