00:25.890 --> 00:27.869
- [Corporal Michael Krysinski] Six Marines
spent their morning lending a hand

00:27.869 --> 00:30.526
at the Missouri Botanical Gardens
during just one of the many

00:30.526 --> 00:33.332
community service projects 
for Marine Week St. Louis.

00:33.332 --> 00:35.303
Lance Corporal Daniel Richardson

00:35.303 --> 00:37.091
says he enjoyed the experience.

00:37.091 --> 00:40.333
- I'm glad to be here, glad to help out 
and pitch in when I can.

00:41.130 --> 00:44.713
It's a nice place, a place I'd
like to come and visit later on.

00:44.713 --> 00:47.928
I just enjoy being able to
give a hand whenever I can.

00:47.928 --> 00:49.871
- [Krysinski] The Marines worked tirelessly,

00:49.871 --> 00:52.270
pruning and weeding different 
plants around the gardens.

00:53.610 --> 00:55.683
Sarah Murphy, an employee at
the Botanical Gardens,

00:55.683 --> 00:57.871
was impressed by the
Marines' work ethic.

00:57.871 --> 01:00.575
- It's been great, we've
gotten so much done.

01:00.575 --> 01:03.256
I think that's the really
amazing thing, is the efficiency

01:03.256 --> 01:06.039
and the amount of work
that's gotten done,

01:06.039 --> 01:09.468
because this is a huge project
that would usually take me

01:09.468 --> 01:12.702
days if not weeks to
do on my own

01:12.702 --> 01:14.319
or with my volunteers.

01:14.319 --> 01:17.317
- [Krysinski] From Marine Week St. Louis,
I'm Corporal Michael Krysinski.
