Ask SouthsideCentral! – The “Marines” Red Truck

If you want to know the answer to a question about the Southside region, all you have to is Ask SouthsideCentral!

Today, we have a question about a big red truck and trailer with “Marines” print on it.

We had this question come in to our SouthsideCentral Facebook page:

I saw a red truck and trailer on the road this morning. It had Marines on it and government tags. Do you know what it is?

We found out the answer for our reader by stopping at Danville Mall.

There are events at Virginia International Raceway last weekend and this one, and the Marines set up a promotional booth for recruiting and advertising purposes. Everything for the displays is in the trailer and this setup travels around the region for special events like the ones at VIR.

I’d think to think the sergeant at the Marine Recruiting Station at Danville Mall for the answer. He was busy with 12 recruits in his office so I didn’t get his name. He was stressed enough already. Heh.

And thanks to the awesome Brenda Bowman, we now know that the recruiter’s name is Keith Henley. Thanks, Brenda!

Good question and we got the answer. That’s what happens when you Ask SouthsideCentral!
