IWO TO, Japan (NNS) -- Thirty twoSailors from the forward-deployed am-phibious dock landing ship USS German-town (LSD 42), along with elements of theIII Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) at-tended the Reunion of Honor ceremony onIwo To, formerly known as Iwo Jima, Mar.14.

The ceremony commemorated the 67thanniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Al-most 28,600 American Marines and Japan-ese soldiers lost their lives defending the 8-square mile island, which saw some of thefiercest fighting of World War II. On this day,veterans, their family members and digni-taries from both sides came together tohonor the men who gave the ultimate sac-rifice for their countries.

Before the start of the ceremony, Sailorshad the opportunity to walk around the

beach the Marines stormed almost 70 yearsago. They had the chance to view remnantsthat have stood the test of time, such as anold bunker and various ships that lined theshore. They also spoke with several veteransof that long ago battle and heard first handabout their experiences.

During the ceremony, various speakersdiscussed the war and how both nationshave become close allies over the years. Thespeakers also pointed out how each side re-members the brave men who sacrificedtheir lives for their respective countries.

"The battle of Iwo Jima was a fierce bat-tle, rarely seen in the history of war," saidYasunori Nishi, president of the JapaneseIwo Jima Association. "Here, I would like topray for the repose of the souls of the heroesof Japan and the United States and to offerconsolation to their families, whose deepsorrow will never disappear."

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- A Navypartnership that teams Sailors with rescueddogs is one of 20 finalists in a national com-munity support challenge sponsored byfirst lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden.

The South Carolina-based program Ca-nines for Vets and partner Naval Consoli-dated Brig Charleston (NCBC) are amongthe top finalists in the Joining Forces Com-munity Challenge. The challenge is an ini-tiative launched by Obama and Biden torecognize organizations, communities, andcitizens who serve to improve the lives ofmilitary families and veterans.

NCBC partnered with Carolina Canines'Canines for Vets in 2008 to teach militaryprisoners how to train rescue dogs from lo-cal shelters as service-dogs to assistwounded and disabled veterans in their re-covery.

"We look forward to expanding thenumber of dogs and prisoners allowed toparticipate in this program because of thenational attention being received from thisaward nomination," said Cmdr. PatrickBoyle, executive officer, NCBC. "It is a vitalmission of Naval Consolidated BrigCharleston to release our prisoners back tothe military or civilian society as productivecitizens."

According to Boyle, partnering prison-ers with dogs that will eventually servewounded and disabled vets has a positiveimpact on rehabilitating prisoners in his fa-cility. NCBC uses a Department of Laborcertified dog-handling program to trainservice dogs. Canines for Vets then matches

the trained service dog to eligible woundedand disabled veterans to improve theirquality of life.

"The service-dog provides social sup-port to the vet by acting as a bridge to con-versation and acceptance," said Rick Hair-ston, Canines for Vets co-founder. "When aservice-dog accompanies a wounded vet-eran, the focus is on the dog, not the dis-ability."

The Joining Forces Community Chal-lenge started in July 2011. Of the hundredsof submissions received, all captured inno-vative ways Americans have stepped up toshow gratitude and support for militaryfamilies, according to the site www.joining-forces.challenge.gov. The 20 finalists areprofiled on the site and the public is en-couraged to vote for their favorite submis-

port for them and their families.""In recognizing the sacrifice our mili-

tary families make to serve our countryevery day, we must remember the chil-dren of those families, who have to en-dure long separations from parents andmultiple moves and schools," said Gray."They undergo hardship as surely astheir parents do in service to our greatcountry. Therefore, it's appropriate thatwe should lift up the month of April herein our nation's capital, where so manymilitary families live, to show our espe-cial appreciation to these brave chil-dren."

Although there are nearly 9000 mili-tary children living in D.C., much focusis spent on their parents' dedication andsacrifices, while children in military fam-ilies are often overlooked. The so-called"military brats" often make huge sacri-fices of their own due to the great de-mands on their parents.

"Our military families often endurelong separations and are required tomove multiple times during their activemilitary service," said Jennifer Dailey-Perkins, Regional School Liaison Officerfor Naval District Washington (NDW)."[It causes] their children to leave behindold friends and familiar schools to makenew friends and start a new school."

According to Dailey-Perkins, April has

been selected as a month to honor chil-dren from military families since 1986,when Secretary of Defense Casper Wein-berger requested that members of all themilitary branches take that time to com-mend military children for stoically en-during the trials they often face.

"Since then, each April, military in-stallations around the world honor ouryoung heroes with special activities andevents specifically for them," said Dai-ley-Perkins. "These festivities let themknow that they are valued and support-ed."

While this time is being spent to rec-ognize military children for their sacri-fices, it is also being used to remind serv-ice families there are resources availableto them. Each installation in NDW has aSchool Liaison Officer "who is availableto offer assistance to military familieswho have school-aged children withtransition and deployment needs."

"Additionally, our entire NDW Childand Youth Program team stands ready toassist our military children and takepause this month to celebrate theirachievements," said Dailey-Perkins.

Employer Spotlight:Hero Health Hire

In an ongoing effort to highlight organizations which are doinggreat things to hire veterans, I recently spoke with Michele D. Dev-erich, Executive Director of Hero Health Hire (H3), an organization

founded by Magellan Health Services. 23 major health care employers representing1208 worksites in all 50 states have come together for the sole purpose of hiringwounded warriors and veterans. Each H3 organizational participant signs a PartnerPledge requiring tangible commitments toward a common end: bringing veteran tal-ent into the healthcare workforce in a variety of roles and locations.

Michele was quick to outline several reasons why H3 was eager to bring in veterantalent.

“We have found that the attributes/personal qualities of the wounded warriorsand veterans we’ve hired are truly exceptional in a number of ways – leadership skills,critical thinking, effective decision-making, respect for rules and regulations, activelistening, insistence on accuracy, punctuality and meeting timely deadlines, a keensense of each mission’s priority," she said. "Quite simply, it is good for our business-es.”

The growing initiative has not been without challenges. “(It’s a) learning curve forus all –really understanding the experience of the Wounded Warrior anticipating entryinto civilian life. Finding regular sources of candidates… are (also) a continuing issuefor us.” Michele mentions organizations such as DOL, the VA, and OPM as resourcesto bring applicants to her door. None of the obstacles have dampened the enthusi-asm of the H3 team, who continue to network to find both new partners and inter-ested veteran jobseekers.

So how would a disabled vet/transitioning service member find out more aboutthe H3 initiative? Michele invites a direct call to her, adding, “My contact informationis listed all over the Hero Health Hire website (www.herohealthhire.com ). A lot ofindividuals looking for positions (especially when transitioning from the service intoa potential job they’ve never done before) want to talk with a person rather than sub-mit a resume online. We understand this and want to provide that option.” She addsher office and mobile phone numbers (OFC 410-953-2616, BB: 561-398-1753, email:[email protected]) for complete accessibility to any job seeker whohas questions or interests. It’s notable that not all positions offered under the HeroHealth Hire initiative are for clinicians; a misconception that may redirect some tran-sitioning service members looking for work. Spouses are also enthusiastically en-couraged to apply.

“How could we accept their willingness to go into service, risking their lives to pro-tect us and not have a dedicated, focused edict to help them when they come homeinto civilian life?“ asks Michele.

Laura Stanek, Human Resource Advisor and Wounded Warrior Program Manager,is dedicated in assisting wounded warriors and disabled veterans from all branchesof service with transition to federal civilian employment. Need employment Advice?Have a success story to share? Email at [email protected].

The New Deal: A Modern History byMichael Hiltzik. Published by Free Press,New York. 2011, 473 pages.

With the focus on the economy in theUnited States and Europe there are manyfactors to try to understand how the fi-nancial architecture of our nation becamevulnerable. It begs difficult questions as tothe extent of profit-making when it cor-rodes the entire market system, some-thing seen with a myriad of high riskmortgages, and the insurance designed tocover losses of mass mortgage defaults,known as credit default swaps (CDS), aform of derivative that is highly risky, andbets on an ever increasing housing mar-ket.

I am still reading many books to at-tempt to understand what happenedstarting in 2008. It is a complexity ofderegulation of investment banks, insur-ers, and the creation of new investmentproducts backed by complex models thatin the end are not subject to the realitiesof behavioral economics. You may wish toread “Too Big to Fail,” by Andrew RossSorkin (New York: Viking, 2009), there isalso the controversial new book by RonSuskind “Confidence Men,” (New York:Harper, 2011), and finally there is DavidWessel’s “In Fed We Trust,” (New York:Crown Business, 2009) an excellent lookinto how the Federal Reserve reacted dur-ing the 2008 financial crisis.

The subject of this review is a deeplook into Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.Many American economic policymakersare re-examining the New Deal and theGreat Depression to understand the cur-rent economic crisis. Pulitzer Prize win-ning journalist Michael Hiltzik has writtena well researched book on the Great De-pression and the efforts the Roosevelt ad-ministration undertook to mitigate its im-pact.

The first few chapters contain surpris-es such as major provisions of the Emer-gency Banking Act of 1933 were actuallycrafted by the outgoing Hoover adminis-tration. Like today, the Great Depressionwas made worse by housing valuesslumping from an average $5,000 to$3,300, with mortgages of that decade be-ing only a few years and not the 15 and 30years we have today. There would be hear-ings of Wall Street Executives on CapitolHill, and aggressive legislation that of-fered new interpretations of executivepower when it comes to regulating theeconomy.

The book details the origins of suchprograms as the Works Progress Adminis-tration, and the Civilian ConservationCorps; the latter would put millions of un-employed to work on major conservationprojects. For many it was the first timethey had a full belly, plumbing, and elec-tricity. Army officers were given experi-

ence commanding these civilians throughpersuasion and not the barking of orders.

Roosevelt would be faced with the riseof dictatorial personalities such asLouisiana’s Huey Long and the anti-Se-mitic Father Coughlin: whenever there arehard economic times the ugly specter ofracism raises its ugly head in political dis-course. The Public Works Administrationemployed thousands and built such last-ing projects as New York’s TriboroughBridge, the Grand Coulee Dam in Col-orado, and airports like New York’s La-Guardia.

The book introduces such New Dealarchitects as Frances Perkins, the first fe-male cabinet officer and one of only twowho would serve in Roosevelt’s twelveyears in office. As Secretary of Labor, shewas the social conscience of the NewDeal. Pages discuss the contributions ofHarold Ickes, Bernard Baruch, and manymore. Many programs that we take forgranted like Social Security, Federal De-posit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), andthe decoupling of the dollar from the goldstandard came from amidst the Great De-pression.

You may be asking why should mem-bers of the U.S. Armed Forces care? Asidefrom our pocketbooks and investments,our national security is directly tied to astrong and thriving economy. Globaliza-tion have made America’s fifty states notcompeting with each other but competingwith the world. Currently our Secretary ofDefense Leon Panetta and the Joint Chiefsof Staff have expressed their deep con-cerns about further and automatic cuts indefense spending should the bipartisansuper committee fail to agree on how toundertake $1.2 trillion in budget cuts.

Book review

The New Deal:A Modern History

Nurturing developmentof free press through astrategic partnering concept

Editor's note: This is the final part of a four-part series. In the March 15 edition oftheWaterline Lt.Cmdr.Josh Frey,an NDW AFPAK Hand public affairs officer,wrote onthe newfound resurgence of the Afghan media, the variety of media outlets and theethnic groups they serve, and journalistic credibility in the new forums.

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the international communitycan help nurture the development of a free press through a strategic partnering con-cept. Each Afghan government ministry has a flag or general officer assigned as astrategic partner for mentoring, information exchange and unity of effort coordina-tion. ISAF Public Affairs, Task Force Shafafiyat, the NATO Senior Civillian's Repre-sentative’s (SCR) office and international community could utilize a similar approachwith the media. Because the Afghan media environment is so large and growing, itis also young. Just as ISAF mentors government officials, a similar approach couldbe taken with the media to provide timely and accurate information. This is a stan-dard public affairs function, but needs partners to achieve it.

Afghanistan, because of its complex language and cultural environment, in ad-dition to security presents a challenge to this. However, AFPAK Hands personnelwithin these organizations can act as pathfinders to open doors into the Afghan me-dia and set up partnerships with public affairs personnel of all ranks. These publicaffairs personnel would be responsible for maintaining relationships with their des-ignated media outlets, meeting with them regularly and listening to their feedbackto improve ISAF and the international community’s communications efforts. It couldbe a step to gain trust through transparency, the backbone of any democracy. Thisconcept focuses on building a network that could serve to protect vulnerabilitieswithin the media environment to forces of instability, such as terrorist and insurgentgroups. If a repressive regime attempts to take hold, there is less of a chance of thembeing able to control the media.

“In the past, governments could control much of the information flow and there-fore keep a tight rein on political change,” writes Seib. “That is no longer the case.Governments can jail some bloggers and knock some satellite stations off the air, butthe flood of information, and the intellectual freedom it fosters, is relentless.”

The Afghanistan effect is still in its infancy. Soon the country will be connectedto a fiber optic ring connecting every province with 3G internet. Afghanistan’s mediagrowth has already entered its next chapter with the emergence of social media. Ef-forts such as those taken by the Afghan government to sensor Indian soap operaswill simply not be able to keep up with the freedom and speed of the internet. Cou-pled with conventional media, the internet and social media can thus empoweryoung Afghan voices, which are now over 50% of the population, capable of defend-ing their country from extremism with ‘an Afghan Spring.’

"The world today is faced with newthreats," he said. "Japan and the U.S. arenow working hand in hand to achieve in-ternational peace and stability. I believesuch cooperation consoles the souls of sol-diers from both countries who fought anddied on this island. We should never forgetthat the peace and prosperity we enjoy to-day is built on the sacrifice of these sol-diers."

Kurt Tong, the Deputy Chief of Missionat the U.S. Embassy, Tokyo, thanked the

surviving warriors of Iwo Jima for the sac-rifices they made for their country, remind-ing everyone of the purpose of the ceremo-ny.

"We gather here today to pay our re-spects to the young American and Japanesewho made the ultimate sacrifice for theircountries, on this very ground on which westand, exactly 67 years ago," he said. "Weare proud to also honor the veterans of thisbattle who are here with us today, as well asveterans' family members, and all whohave borne the burden of the memories ofthis battle over the years that have passed,and those who have felt the memories andechoes of the sacrifices of war. To you all,we owe a great debt for our ability to standhere together today."

After the ceremony, Sailors and Marines

once again mingled with the veterans andlistened to them reminisce about their ex-periences on the island. For those in atten-dance, the experience of visiting the islandand talking with the veterans who person-ally witnessed and participated in the battlewas a humbling event.

"I think this ceremony was really won-derful," said Information Technician 3rdClass Valerie Hadley. "It was humbling to behere where so many people died defendingtheir respective countries."

Hadley said she especially enjoyed talk-ing to the veterans and getting a real under-standing of what they experienced duringthe battle.

"There was one veteran who told me astory about how he went into one of thecaves and found maps with all the enemy's

positions," she said. "It was amazing howmany things were still fresh in his mind af-ter so many years. I'm very glad I had thechance to experience this today."

By MC2 (SW) Byron Linder,USS Carl Vinson Public Affairs

USS CARL VINSON, At Sea (NNS) --Sailors aboard the Nimitz-class aircraftcarrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) celebrat-ed the carrier's 30th year of service March13.

Navy veterans who commissioned theship joined them from afar as they recalledtheir service aboard Vinson.

Commissioned March 13, 1982 in New-port News, Va. with Capt. Richard L. Mar-tin as her first commanding officer, theNavy's third Nimitz-class carrier has com-pleted 11 deployments spanning theworld's oceans.

"We were named after an American pa-triot who knew the value of a strong Navy,"said Vinson's Commanding Officer Capt.Kent D. Whalen. "Vinson's vision was aNavy that would protect our nation, keepthe sea lanes safe for commerce, and sus-tain the capability to take the fight to anyenemy, anywhere in the world."

"When you look at the amount of timeCarl Vinson has spent at sea over the lastthirty years, it's a tribute to the dedicationof every Sailor who's served aboard her.Prolonged success for a ship always equalsone thing - and that's exceptional mainte-nance practices," said Vinson's CommandMaster Chief (AW/SW) Jeffrey Pickering."It's something we focus on in 2012 andit's obvious that it was just as important tothe Sailors who sailed Vinson for threedecades before us."

Vinson Plankowner Boiler Technician3rd Class Michael Dorgan reported to CarlVinson in 1981 as part of the pre-commis-sioning unit (PCU). He said via email thatthere are multiple moments throughouthis tour aboard CVN 70 that stay with himto this day.

"It's a collection of memories of thepeople I served with as well as the ports ofcall," he said. "My years of service aboardthe Vinson are very special to me, and Iwill always cherish them."

Mess Specialist 3rd Class PierreWheaton, also part of the PCU and aplankowner, shared his fondest memories.

"Watching the ship being brought tolife on commissioning day, seeing the shipfor the first time at Newport News, andknowing I would be forever affiliated withthe greatest carrier in the fleet," are mo-ments he still holds dear, he said in an e-mail exchange.

Carl Vinson was the first modern air-craft carrier to conduct operations in theBering Sea in 1986. In 1990, the shipearned the first of what would be six Battle

Efficiency (Battle "E") awards.The Discovery Channel boarded Carl

Vinson in 1995 to film a documentary ti-tled "Carrier: Fortress at Sea", chroniclingthe carrier's six-month deployment to andfrom the Persian Gulf. In 1996 and 1998,Vinson Sailors earned the ship its secondand third Battle "E" awards.

Aviation Machinist's Mate 3rd ClassCasey Hall, assigned to Strike FighterSquadron (VFA) 22 from 1997 to 2000, re-called an instance where he relied on hisShipmates after falling overboard duringVinson's 1999 operations in the ArabianSea.

What sticks with him more than adecade later is "the way the medical staffworked on me after I was brought back onboard," he wrote in an e-mail.

Coming together for one purpose andmission is something Vinson has becomewell known for. On Oct. 7, 2001, Vinsonlaunched America's first air strikes in sup-port of Operation Enduring Freedom inresponse to the 9/11 terrorist attacks,launching more than 4,000 combat sorties.Vinson was recognized with a fourth Battle"E" award for her work that year.

Plankowner Aerographer's Mate 2ndClass (AW) James O'Brien said he feltnothing but pride when he heard of Vin-son's involvement in the war on terror.

In 2004, Carl Vinson earned a fifth Bat-tle "E" for her successes in support of Op-eration Iraqi Freedom. The ship was the

third carrier to undergo a refueling andcomplex overhaul (RCOH) in 2005. Whenthe ship returned to the fleet in 2010, herSailors remembered what her first com-manding officer said to them during theirRCOH.

"It's the crew's job," Martin said duringVinson's stepping-the-mast ceremony in2007, "to bring the ship out of the yardswith the same kind of spirit that has beenwith it forever."

Immediately following her RCOH theship changed homeports from Bremerton,Wash. to San Diego. When she began hertransit from Virginia to California intend-ing to go around the Horn of South Amer-ica, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti.Vinson changed course just hours aftergetting underway to provide humanitarianassistance to the island nation as part ofOperation Unified Response.

From the flight deck, Vinson providedmedical supplies, food, and fresh water tothe victims.

Vinson Sailors departed on her firstcombat deployment since RCOH Novem-ber 2010 to the U.S. 5th Fleet AOR, return-ing June 2011. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11,2011, Carl Vinson hosted the inauguralQuicken Loans Carrier Classic NCAA bas-ketball game on the ship's flight deck be-tween the Michigan State Spartans and theNorth Carolina Tar Heels.

Carl Vinson Sailors departed San Diegofor her current deployment 19 days later.

Vinson was awarded her sixth Battle "E" inFebruary 2012 for her performance theprevious deployment.

"You have done us plankowners proud.You've picked up the torch we passedback in the '80s and ran with it in ways Iwould have never believed," Wheatonsaid. "Remember to stay modest andhumble, and keep working hard to main-tain the Vinson's good name. You're partof the best carrier in the best Navy in theworld."

Vinson Sailors acknowledged the im-portance of maintaining the legacy theycarry on.

"It is a testament to our naval superior-ity that with teamwork and a lot of main-tenance, this ship is ready for anything,"said Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling)3rd Class (AW) Logan Judd, assigned to AirDepartment's V-1 Division.

"I'm proud of everything this ship hasbeen through and achieved. It has defi-nitely had a name in the past and has car-ried that name with honor throughout theyears," added Seaman Jessica Hamilton ofDeck Department's 3rd Division, tem-porarily assigned to Supply Department'sS-2 Division.

mences. According to Kelly Kurisko with Fleet and FamilyReadiness (N9), "tabletop" practice played a big part of thisplanning. Quite literally, during a tabletop exercise, alsoknown as a TTX, all of the relevant leaders sit around atable and plan out what they and their staff's individual re-sponsibilities would be in the case of specific contingen-cies.

There are a variety of objectives for SC/CS, all related tosecurity and safety, no matter the source of potentialthreats or hostility. One of these objectives includes eval-uating a naval support facility's ability to process person-

nel and vehicles onto an installation and their ability totake immediate action when unauthorized access is at-tempted.

On Tuesday at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, a secu-rity checkpoint was challenged by a protest group gather-ing outside, along with at least one protestor attempting togain access using a forged I.D. Sentries at the ECP weretasked to identify the false credential and successfully denyentry.

Another drill took place yesterday at Naval Support Ac-tivity Annapolis. In that scenario, the group of protestorspresent had penetrated the ECP and placed a backpackcontaining mock explosive material near one of the barri-ers. It was up to the Sailors and security personnel to se-cure the area surrounding the suspicious package and to

alert command authorities.The Force Protection Condition (FPCON) will rise to

CHARLIE at some point during this week, which applies"when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indi-cating some form of terrorist action or targeting againstpersonnel or facilities is likely." With the rise in FPCON, allpersons accessing NDW installations should provide forextra time due to the necessary increases in security pro-cedures at checkpoints, as well as expect closures of certainbase services.

Although the full impact of Solid Curtain/Citadel Shieldwill not truly be realized until the following weeks withevaluation and retrospection, it is clear that so far it isshaping up to be a useful and productive exercise.

nation and on the world," said Mabus. "It gave us the Star-Spangled Banner. It gave us numerous heroes, Andrew Jack-son, Oliver Hazard Perry, Dolly Madison and JamesLawrence whose last command 'Don't give up the ship!' hasguided the United States Navy and the United States sincethat day."

Beginning in April and continuing through 2015, the U.S.Navy, The U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Coast Guard willcommemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and thewriting of "The Star Spangled Banner" with a series of publicevents in 16 cities across the nation, including New Orleans,New York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Boston, Milwaukee, Chicago,Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo, and Cleveland.

New Orleans was chosen as the host city for the openingevents marking the 200th anniversary of what has been re-ferred to as "America's Second War of Independence." Thethree-year commemoration will also end in New Orleanswhere the last battle of the war was fought.

The Navy has partnered with Canada, the United King-dom, the International Council of Air Shows, the NavyLeague, the Naval Historical Foundation, and Operation Sail(OpSail) to create events around the country including Navyship and tall ship port visits, Blue Angels air shows, interna-tional athletic competitions, conferences, seminars, teach-ing events, and observances in many of the venues that werecrucial to the outcome of the conflict.

"In 1800, we had only 17 sea-worthy vessels and 5,000men carrying 1,447 guns, and our Navy was expected to pa-trol 2000 coastal miles," said Billington. "In comparison, theRoyal Navy had 1,048 ships, 27,800 guns, and 150,500 men.As a result, the American Navy began to take its place amongthe great navies of the world."

The commemoration recalls the re-emergence of theU.S. Navy in 1812, when Sailors and the Navy proved thatkeeping the sea free was essential to protecting the nation'seconomy, way of life and independence. Two hundred yearslater, the U.S. Navy continues those missions and serves as"A Global Force for Good," protecting the free flow of inter-national commerce, enforcing trade laws and ensuring free-dom of the seas.

"The War of 1812 was fought primarily over the idea offreedom of the seas. That is exactly what the United StatesNavy does today," Mabus said. "For 236 years, the Navy hasgone from sail, to steam, to nuclear. From the USS Consti-tution to the USS Carl Vinson, our maritime warriors haveupheld a proud heritage, protected our nation, projectedour power, and protected our freedom of the seas. Not justfor ourselves, but for all nations who travel the oceans of theworld."

Military Moves

By American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – On the ninth anniver-sary of U.S. forces moving into Iraq, PresidentBarack Obama has proclaimed Monday,March 19 to be “A National Day of Honor.”

Here is the text of the president’s procla-mation:

Nine years ago, members of the UnitedStates Armed Forces crossed the sands of

the Iraq-Kuwait border and began one ofthe most challenging missions our militaryhas ever known. They left the comforts ofhome and family, volunteering in service toa cause greater than themselves. Theybraved insurgency and sectarian strife,knowing too well the danger of combat andthe cost of conflict. Yet, through the dustand din and the fog of war, they never lost

The Navy College Office (NCO) Educa-tion Center on March 8, held a grand open-ing for their new offices located in Building17 at Naval Support Activity Bethesda,where counselors are available for all serv-ice members.

"The new building is absolutely state ofthe art and just beautiful," said JonathanWood, Gulf Coast Regional Director for theNavy College Program. "It is also symbolicfor a lot of service members because ithouses fitness and education and repre-sents a major transition for wounded, illand injured service members as they crossthe street from the care facilities."

He added, "the education center is nowfully functional and fully staffed to supportthe educational needs of the broader activeduty community in Naval District Washing-ton."

The NCO provides voluntary education-al opportunities to service member'sunique needs, Wood said. "We engage one-on-one with each service member to pro-vide educational counseling that coverspersonal interests, abilities and readiness.We also review academic program optionsthat could be a good match for that profileand review and arrange both experientialcredit and credit by examination that couldcombine to reduce the time to degree com-pletion."

He said an Individual Education Plan isdeveloped to give each service member thebest probability of meeting their personaland professional goals. "The difference is

now we can do it in more inviting, fully ac-cessible spaces with room for counselors,clients and academic advisors to collabo-rate. Most importantly, the new facility rep-resents the importance and priority ourjoint services place on the personal andprofessional development of our servicemembers."

The NCO also gives assistance in apply-ing for tuition assistance and can be usedat on-base, off-base, or online institutions,as long as they are regionally or nationallyaccredited.

"If a service member wants to go toschool, the best place to start is academic

advisement here at the education office,said Elizabeth Baker, director Navy CollegeOffice. "Sometimes [the process] is as sim-ple as forming a degree plan, or in othercases, we'll help you figure out what youwant to do for the rest of your life.

"We can facilitate College Level Exami-nation Program (CLEP) tests, that count ascollege credit, and explore how Sailor/Ma-rine American Council on Education Reg-istry Transcript (SMART) credits, which areacquired through military training and ad-

vancement, can transfer to academic insti-tutions," Baker said. "Some people findthey are closer to their educational goalsthan they think."

She said on base courses are providedby the University of Maryland UniversityCollege, Central Texas College and South-ern Illinois University during the evening."We are working on morning classes forshift workers. In addition to our regularschedule of classes, we hold classes in Tran-quility Hall to accommodate the WoundedWarrior program, and Navy College Pro-gram for Afloat College Education (NC-PACE) courses are taught at qualified de-ploying units."

Baker explained service members canalso take courses offered by MontgomeryCollege through the NCO that could trans-fer to four-year universities in Maryland.

"A lot of people here at the hospital ex-press interest in nursing or physical thera-py, and Montgomery College has a lot ofpre- or two-year RN programs, that be-cause of their popularity can have a longwaiting list," Baker said. "However, you canapply for the programs while taking classesso you can complete the pre-requisiteswhile on the waiting list, and then whenyour name comes up you can enrollstraight into the program."

their resolve. Demonstrating unshakablefortitude and unwavering commitment toduty, our men and women in uniformserved tour after tour, fighting block byblock to help the Iraqi people seize thechance for a better future. And on Decem-ber 18, 2011, their mission came to an end.

Today, we honor their success, theirservice, and their sacrifice. In one of our Na-tion's longest wars, veterans of OperationIraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawnwrote one of the most extraordinary chap-ters in American military history. Whenhighways became mine fields and uncer-tainty waited behind every corner, servicemembers rose to meet the task at hand withunmatched courage and determination.They learned languages and cultures, takingon new roles as diplomats and develop-ment experts to improve the communitieswhere they served. Their strength toppled atyrant, and their valor helped build oppor-tunity in oppression's place. Across nearly9 years of conflict, the glory of their service-- as well as the contributions of othermembers of the U.S. Government and ourcoalition partners -- always shone through.

The war left wounds not always seen,but forever felt. The burden of distance andthe pain of loss weighed heavily on thehearts of millions at home and overseas. Be-hind every member of our military stood aparent, a spouse, or a son or daughter whoproudly served their community andprayed for their loved one's safe return. Forwounded warriors, coming home markedthe end of one battle and the beginning ofanother -- to stand, to walk, to recover, andto serve again. And, in war's most profound

cost, there were those who never camehome. Separated by time and space butunited by their love of country, nearly 4,500men and women are eternally bound;though we have laid them to rest, they willlive on in the soul of our Nation now andforever. To them, to their families, and to allwho served, we owe a debt that can neverbe fully repaid.

When we returned the colors of UnitedStates Forces-Iraq and the last of our troopsset foot on American soil, we reflected onthe extraordinary service and sacrifice ofthose who answered our country's call.Their example embodied that fundamentalAmerican faith that tells us no mission istoo hard, no challenge is too great, and thatthrough tests and through trials, we will al-ways emerge stronger than before. Now, ourNation reaffirms our commitment to serveveterans of Iraq as well as they served us --to uphold the sacred trust we share with allwho have worn the uniform. Our future isbrighter for their service, and today, we ex-press our gratitude by saying once more:Welcome home.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA,President of the United States of America,by virtue of the authority vested in me bythe Constitution and the laws of the UnitedStates, do hereby proclaim March 19, 2012,as a National Day of Honor. I call upon allAmericans to observe this day with appro-priate programs, ceremonies, and activitiesthat commemorate the return of the UnitedStates Armed Forces from Iraq.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereuntoset my hand this nineteenth day of March,in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve,and of the Independence of the UnitedStates of America the two hundred and thir-ty-sixth.

BARACK OBAMA

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service

ARLINGTON, Va., March 15, 2012 – Arlington NationalCemetery began using geospatial technology this week tomanage its cemetery operations in a move officials saymakes them nearly paperless.

“Probably the biggest thing that the geospatial systemdoes for us is it eliminates the need for paper,” said retiredArmy Col. Jack Lechner, the cemetery’s administrator,during a public demonstration of the technology today.

“Prior to the use of that system, we had requirementsto photocopy schedules and distribute copies of sched-ules, make manual notations on schedules,” he said.

There are so many people involved with funerals at Ar-lington National Cemetery -- various [branches of serv-ice], chaplains, bands, chapels, buglers – “you couldimagine the amount of reproduction we were doing,”Lechner said. Synchronizing this into in a digital formathas provided tremendous savings in time, effort andmoney, he said.

Lechner described the system formerly used to man-age cemetery operations that is moving toward becomingfully digital.

“It probably took about three or four people constant-ly devoted to the process of paper management,” he ex-plained. “Whether it was paper copying, paper produc-tion, paper distribution … that process has gone away.

“Those individuals in the workforce are now able todevote themselves to the actual core tasks and services tofamilies that we’re here to [provide],” he added.

Lechner noted while this new innovative system hashelped organize cemetery operations, the paper systemisn’t obsolete – yet.

“We’re still maintaining the paper copies of the mapsthat we’ve been using for quite a while,” he said. “After atest period, we’ll see if there’s a need for us to actuallycontinue to maintain the paper copies or if we can gostrictly digital.”

Lechner said all signs point to digital as the way to go,and there are many safeguards to protect the technology.

“There are multiple safeguards just like all the otherArmy systems that you deal with on a day-to-day basis,”he said. “We have the same firewalls and protection, thesame [Common Access Card] access codes that are need-ed to get into things. So the redundancy and the protec-tion is there.”

In addition to the geospatial technology, the cemeterybegan a first-of-its-kind gravesite accountability process,which examined 259,978 graves front and back, ANC of-ficials said.

“Everything about the cemetery is [related to the]knowledge of who is buried where,” said Army Maj.Nicholas Miller, the cemetery’s chief information officer.“That’s really a rich data set, a large data set, of people andlocations.”

The technology will help ensure accuracy, he said.Miller, who is responsible for creating the system, ex-

plained how the idea for the revamping came about.“As we looked at how we wanted visitors to come ex-

perience the cemetery, we thought they should be able touse their [smartphones] and get walk-in directions to thegravesite and also pull up information about their lovedones,” he said.

The best way to do that is to provide the location-based information that geospatial technology enables,Miller said.

Cemetery officials’ goal is to “continue to uphold thefaith and confidence of the American people by using thebest technology to accurately document and conduct theservices for their loved ones that we do here,” he said.

The current information system is internal, but a pub-lic Web application will be available on www.arlington-cemetery.mil, in addition to the smartphone app, laterthis summer.

Honoring veterans and fallen service members “is oneof the most humbling missions we have,” Miller said.“[We want to ensure] Arlington continues to be America’spremier military cemetery.”

National Cemetery Geospatial TechnologyBy 1st Lt. Karla Bell, Dietetic Intern

If milk, cheese or ice cream leaves you uncomfortable, youare not alone. There are an estimated 30 to 50 million adults inthe U.S. affected by this same problem, known as lactose intol-erance, a term closely related to lactose malabsorption.

Lactose is the sugar found in milk, and lactose malabsorp-tion is a gradual reduction in the activity of lactase, the enzymenecessary to digest lactose in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Aftereating foods with lactose, a person may experience symptomsof diarrhea, swelling in the stomach, stomach pain, and gas.

According to 2010 Dietary Guidelines, if a person is not con-suming at least three servings of milk products per day, the per-son may need to consider taking a calcium supplement, sincefoods made with milk are the most common source of calcium.

There are a number of choices of milk products on groceryshelves that can make it difficult to determine which one to buy.Lactose-free milk is basically regular cow's milk minus the lac-tose, the natural sugar in milk. It provides all of the same health-ful nutrients (protein, calcium and vitamin D), without the sug-ar that can cause digestive problems. Soymilk is a non-dairyoption that is fortified with calcium and vitamin D.

There are several ways you can consume three servings ofmilk products per day. First, you can also gradually re-introducemilk back into your diet by drinking smaller amounts of milkat a time. Next, you can drink low lactose or lactose-free milkproducts. Include them as a beverage at meals, or use them toprepare oatmeal and hot cereals.Yogurt with live and active cul-tures may be more tolerable and may help the body digest lac-tose. You can make a dip for fruits or vegetables, or make fruitsmoothies from yogurt, or eat natural cheeses, which generallyare low in lactose.

Before you completely give up on milk products, make sureto consult your doctor with your concerns. Excluding all milkproducts from your diet can lead to other health concerns. Milkand other milk products are important sources of calcium andvitamin D, which are needed for growth and bone health at allages. A decrease in calcium in your diet can lead to weakenedbones and osteoporosis.
