00:02.698 --> 00:05.281
(gentle music)

00:14.947 --> 00:17.640
- I'm born and raised in Saipan and

00:17.640 --> 00:22.003
just having to see the
island just devastated,

00:23.040 --> 00:26.440
I guess what keeps me going
is just the motivation

00:26.440 --> 00:28.273
that our platoon, our unit has.

00:29.530 --> 00:31.500
We all didn't know we
were gonna come here but

00:31.500 --> 00:34.360
the way we see it is,
majority of us are from Guam,

00:34.360 --> 00:36.130
some are from Saipan,
some are from Tinian,

00:36.130 --> 00:39.660
some are from Rota, but
at the end of the day

00:39.660 --> 00:43.570
it's one Marianas, it's one
love, one heart, one family,

00:43.570 --> 00:45.471
and we're here for each other.

00:45.471 --> 00:49.670
Day in and day out, we
start our days as early as

00:49.670 --> 00:51.800
5:30 in the morning and
we don't finish sometimes

00:51.800 --> 00:53.570
until six, 6:30 in the evenings

00:53.570 --> 00:56.190
but we look forward to
coming out to the village

00:56.190 --> 01:00.340
every single day, knowing that
we see people and they see us

01:00.340 --> 01:03.110
and just that feeling
of us helping each other

01:03.110 --> 01:04.793
is just completely priceless.
