The Virgin Islands National Guard turned 44, on October 19th. Noticeably the uniform of the day was white hazmat suits, gloves and surgical masks worn by Guard members who cleaned schools and public facilities on the island of St. Croix that have yet to reopen post-storm. The civic restoration effort is part of Operation Island Restore, a significant domestic operation and mission that brought approximately 1,900 National Guard members from 37 states and territories to the Virgin Islands following Hurricanes Irma and Maria, both category five storms.
