Whitney and Parker are 339th Recruiting Squadron recruiters based in Flint. Due to massive amounts of lead found in Flint water, millions of bottles of water have been donated to the city and surrounding area since the crisis began. Residents are unable to drink or bathe in the water. The two recruiters have been assisting in the recovery every Wednesday by distributing water and filtration kits, and helping test for lead.
