DESTIN The Eglin Air Force Base chapter of the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) has adopted Henderson Beach in Destin as an ongoing community service project.
In that role, the association, which is not affiliated with the Department of Defense, is committing to keep the beach clear to facilitate potential sea turtle nesting. Additionally, the outreach by the James C. Binnicker Chapter of the AFSA is designed to ensure that debris are cleared from the beach in the event of hurricanes or other severe weather.
The local AFSA chapter is named for a late former Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force who in retirement served as president and CEO of the Air Force Enlisted Village in Shalimar.
