By DEMETRIA MOSLEYFort Jackson Leader

Like most initial entry Soldiers overjoyed about start-ing Basic Combat Training, Pvt. Roger Kendrick, of Echo Company, 3rd Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment, used Facebook to share his excitement of being shipped off to Fort Jackson to start his career as a Soldier.

He expected he might get a few “likes” and a couple of comments from his post, but what Kendrick did not antici-pate was connecting with an unknown relative.

“My dad got a message on Facebook from one of his cousin’s saying that her grandson was going to Fort Jackson too,” said Kendrick. “And I told my dad to tell her to have him add me as a friend.”

And that’s what Pvt. Michael Weese of Charlie Com-pany did. He added Kendrick and the two cousins began to talk about their expectations.

“My grandma was like ‘you got a cousin that’s going to be there too’, and I was like ‘okay,’” said Weese. “He sent me a message and we started talking about Army stuff.”

They both arrived at Fort Jackson at the same time to the same battalion. Although their barracks and training area are in close proximity, the two cousins didn’t have a chance to actually meet in person until Sept. 4, four weeks before graduation.

“I told the chaplain I had a cousin I’ve never met here, and he set it up for us ���������������!#����Kendrick.

Weese, who’s from Flor-ida, said that he had never heard of Kendrick until his grandmother, Judith Lipps, told him. Kendrick’s Fam-ily moved around a lot and his father is the nephew of Lipp’s mother.

Kendrick said the two of them talked for about 20 minutes in the chaplain’s ������

“I asked him how was Echo and he asked me how was Charlie,” Weese said. “We just talked about Army stuff.”

Lipps said that the Family plans on having a small re-union after the two men graduate Sept. 29 on Fort Jackson’s Hilton Field.

“I have never met little Roger and look forward to seeing him and Michael and reconnecting with family,” she said.

“I think dressing up really helps the Soldiers think of this in a real life scenario,” she said. “I enjoyed play-ing the part of giving them the extra push in the training.”

The training course lasted about 30 minutes and Service members went in groups of 10 to 15. Cier-aszynski said they wanted training to really focus on medical tasks. While completing the tasks, the Soldiers had to also travel with their wounded medical dummy.

�����$�������������� �� �!we wanted our training to focus on the addressing and caring of a casualty,” Cieraszynski said. “Because that’s what we would be doing if we were ��� � �'� � ��� �� �! $� $�' � ��taking care of people.”

Maj. Christopher Blacknall, chief of Resource Management for Mon-crief, said that this course helps him brush up on his medical skills.

“I’m not a medic, but I work in the hospital,” Blacknall said. “I don’t get to exercise my medical skills of-ten so this helped me remember and touch up on things about caring for patients.”

As part of the training, Soldiers had to carry a casualty throughout the courses to help build medical skills. Sgt. 1st Class Eric Eller and Maj. Christopher Blacknall cross a bridge near Semmes Lake with their simulated casualty.

Cpl. Joseph DeCastro received the award during the Civil War for gallantry and hero-ism during Pickett’s Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg where he attacked a color bearer of the 1st Virginia Infantry with the staff of the 19th Massachusetts Infantry and seizing the colors.

In World War I, Pvt. David Barkeley Cantu, received the MOH after drown-ing during a scouting mission behind en-emy lines Nov. 19, 1918. His citation read: “When information was desired as to the enemy’s position on the opposite side of the Meuse River, Pvt. Barkeley, with another soldier, volunteered without hesitation and swam the river to reconnoiter the exact lo-cation. He succeeded in reaching the oppo-site bank, despite the evident determination of the enemy to prevent a crossing. Having obtained his information, he again entered the water for his return, but before his goal was reached, he was seized with cramps and drowned.”

During World War II many Hispanic-Americans, such as Staff Sgt. Lucian Ad-ams, would display extreme gallantry and be awarded America’s highest military hon-or. Adams received the award after he per-sonally attacked German positions near St. Die, France on Oct. 28, 1944 with a Brown-���'������� ^����+�� ��� ������=�advance was stopped by intense German ���!�������������$���������������������������������$��@�^�����������*������������������'���$����������� �������� �� ��� �� ���� �������which struck the trees over his head show-ering him with broken twigs and branches.” Adams would personally killed nine Ger-mans, eliminate three enemy machineguns, and clear a wooded area of German forces.

On May 21, 1951, near Munye-ri, Ko-rea, Pvt. Joseph C. Rodriguez helped de-

������������ �����������%����������North Korean positions. According to the Center of Military History, “he “leaped to �������!�������"�����'�������\�$���slope, and, after lobbing grenades into the ���� ��;�� � $��� ���� � ���'����! �����'���� �����%!�� ������'�������weapon with two grenades and continued his whirlwind assault to the top of the peak, wiping out two more foxholes and then, �����������������%!���������������into the remaining emplacement, destroy-ing the gun and annihilating its crew. Sgt. Rodriguez’ intrepid actions exacted a toll of 15 enemy dead and, as a result of his incredible display of valor, the defense of the opposition was broken, and the enemy

routed, and the strategic strongpoint se-cured.”

In Vietnam, Hispanic American Sol-diers fought bravely and even gave the ul-��������������������������������� �%�1st Sgt. Maximo Yabes. Yabes was killed while defending against a Viet Cong attack on Feb. 26, 1967 near Phu Hoa Dong. Dur-ing that battle, Yabes helped wounded, and ������'��$����������������������launcher from a nearby bunker. Lastly, he “dashed across the exposed area, assaulted the machinegun, killed the crew, destroyed the weapon, and fell mortally wounded.”

Fort Jackson’s Hispanic Heritage Month Luncheon will be held at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 30 at the NCO Club on post.

The time apart had made the brothers wiser. Both gave more weight to making decisions based on what they wanted indi-vidually, not what they should do together simply because they were twins or had simi-lar interests.

“I asked him, ‘Are you sure you want to join?’” Macario recalled. Moises’ collegiate ������'��������� ���'� ��������� issues. “‘You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to,’ and he said he still wanted to do it.”

The Castillo twins joined the California Army National Guard roughly a week apart as water treatment specialists. They attended basic combat training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and arrived at their advanced in-

dividual training in August. Macario is in his ninth week of the 12-week course while Moises is in his seventh.

FUTURE PLANSAfter graduating from training, Moises

plans to attend community college in Wash-ington and pursue a degree in civil engineer-ing at the University of Washington. He also wants to pursue a spot on the school’s box-ing team. Macario also wants to pursue civil engineering, but has not decided upon a col-lege. He plans to box as well.

Their plans seem to be essentially the same as they were before they joined the National Guard, but with one important dif-ference -- they have come to terms with the realization that a lifetime of sharing cannot be undone with a few sudden decisions. It takes time, thought and an appreciation for history.

“It’s hard because since we were kids, we’ve been together,” Moises said. “Go-

ing to college will have a lot of responsi-bilities we need to take care of, so we won’t be able to stay in touch like we used to. In high school, it was easy to just go home and talk about it. In college, you have to focus on passing and pursuing your own career.”

Macario said he is somewhat torn by the transition but deems it necessary.

“In a way I think it’s actually good but it’s kind of bad,” he said. “I realize you have to learn to let go and let the other person pursue his own life or else they can never pursue it as a person. It’s a big step forward in our lives.”

In starting their own lives and careers, the brothers still have much in common: They are National Guardsmen pursuing the same skill, the same college major and the same sport. In the latter, it is to their liking to one day face each other in the ring.

“Since we’re in the same weight class (lightweight), maybe we can eventually �������������!#&����������

“Maj. Gen. Cloutier made the decision as he watched bolt cutters cut locks, we got the boats out, got them used to save lives, to save property,” Connor said. “Those assets were used for 72 hours.”

DODD 3025.18 outlines how the mili-tary can respond to domestic emergencies. Immediate response authority is for when there are imminently serious conditions and a request from civil authorities has been received; when there is no time to receive approval from higher authorities. The com-mander must immediately notify the chain of command and reassess the support with-in 72 hours.

Representing Fort Jackson at the semi-nar were Scottie Thomas, chief of the post’s protection division, and Ramon Domenech, post Emergency Manager. Domenech re-cently replaced R.J. Frazier, Fort Jackson’s long time emergency manager.

“Establishing relationships with other emergency management agencies such as city, county and State is critical to the suc-cess of emergency response operations at all levels,” Domenech said.

Fort Jackson and its partners routinely �� � ��'�'� � ������� # ������ �����to test responses in case of emergencies, he said.

A statue of Cpl. Freddie Stowers was dedicated Nov. 10, 2015 outside Anderson Univer-sity’s Thrift Library in Anderson, S.C. Stowers’ military career began at Fort Jackson. In 1991, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his valor during World War I.

Seventy-three years after his death, Cpl. Fred-die Stowers was awarded the Medal of Honor �������� ���'���+�� �+��{���$���������African American to receive this honor for service during this war.

“It’s been said that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and con-venience but where he stands at times of challenge,” said President George H.W. Bush at the posthumous presentation of the Medal of Honor in 1991. “On Sept. 28, 1918, Cpl. Fred-die Stowers stood poised on the edge of such a challenge and summoned his mettle and his courage.”

Stowers’ military career began at Fort Jackson, where he joined the First Provisional Infantry Regiment (Colored) on Oct. 4, 1917. He was born and raised in Sandy Springs, South (��� ��!��$����������������� ������������World War I.

According to his Medal of Honor citation, on Sept. 28, 1918, while serving as squad leader of

Company C, 371st Infantry Regiment, 93rd Divi-sion, Stowers went above and beyond the call of duty when his company led the attack at Hill 188, Champagne Marne Sector, France.

Shortly after the attack began, the enemy came out of the trenches leading Stowers and his

company to believe they were surrendering. However, soon after the American forces came out of their trenches, the enemy ���'�������

Stowers led his company to the enemy trench line to take out a machine gun post which was causing a majority of the casualties.

As Stowers and his men moved forward he was mortally wounded. He continued to go on with his company and encour-aged his men to go forward without him.

The members of Stowers’ squad pressed on, motivated by

his heroism, they continued the attack; leading to the capture of Hill 188.

The Single Soldier Complex on Fort Jackson is named in his honor.
