CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

SSome of us were already serving our country in the armed forces, sta-tioned aboard various installations around the

world. Some others were already of age to join the military, but chose instead to venture out and explore other career opportunities. Another portion of us were still in our teen-age years, worrying only about school and ourselves. Yet some-thing happened which shook the very foundations of this country, affecting everyone, regardless of occupation and age, in a way that would stay with us for a lifetime.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, four commercial airliners, American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 and United Airlines Flights 175 and 93, were en route to San Francisco and Los Angeles. At 8:46 a.m., Flight 11 struck the World Trade Center’s North Tower in New York, with Flight 175 crashing into the South Tower 17 minutes later. At 9:37 a.m., Flight 77 struck the western side of the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., and three minutes after 10:00 a.m., Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pa., falling short of its Washington, D.C. target after passengers fought to regain control of the plane.

These terrorist attacks against the United States were committed by the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, heralding in a new, dark era of American history and the longest war this country has seen to date.

Ten years later, the vivid memo-

ries and images of that infamous day have not tarnished in the minds of Americans. For the greater On-slow County area, civilians and military members from the sur-rounding Marine Corps installa-tions came together on this decade anniversary to solemnly remember that day in 2001 at the Lejeune Memorial Gardens for Patriot Day 2011, observing the anniversary at the 9/11 Memorial.

“It changed America very sig-nificantly and the brutality of the attack gravely jolted the people’s view of the world,” said Col. Dan-iel J. Lecce, commanding officer of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “Much like the attack on Pearl Har-bor, it also bolstered the sense of patriotism and the need to act, but greater due to the fact they were ci-vilian targets.”

Much akin to the response of the civilian and military personnel following the Imperial Japanese Navy’s attack on Naval Base Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, the influx of civilians joining the armed forces to take part in the fight was mirrored in the months following the attack in 2001. For many, the choice to en-list or re-enlist was an easy one to make, and for those not yet of age, their hearts were set on the future.

“I was five years old when it hap-pened,” said Bradlee Corey, a mili-tary dependent and staff sergeant in the Marine Corps Air Station New River Young Marines. “I can’t remember a pre-9/11 world. Every-one else of my age (and I) grew up under its influence. But although we weren’t old enough to understand what was going on at the time, we

have still learned the importance and the impact of the event and are just as affected as everyone else.”

Civilians and military mem-bers from across the country came together in front of the ominous “I-beam” that sits amidst the sur-rounding memorials, taken from the wreckage of the twin towers and transported to LMG follow-ing the attack. The event promptly started at 8:15 a.m., where three groups of three solemn individu-als held photographs and names of various victims who lost their lives in the attacks.

“At the age of 69, Touri (Bo-lourchi) found the courage to step on an airplane so she could visit with Roya (her daughter) and her grandsons in Boston,” read the nar-rator, speaking in conjunction as a member of the ceremony, donned in black and white, held a picture of Touri in front of her face. “On Sept. 11, she boarded United Airlines Flight 175 for the trip home. Touri waved to her daughter and said, ‘I’ll see you at Christmas time.’ Then she turned and walked away.”

Eight more times this was re-peated, where the photos and names of victims who were on the planes, at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, were shown as their stories were read to the audi-ence. Whether or not those in the audience had a personal tie to the attacks, it did not matter. The pain in their eyes and expressions told volumes of what they were feeling, reflecting back to that day a decade ago.

Operation Moshtarak, a Dari word meaning “together,” began in February 2010 as a way for Afghan and coalition forces to assert authority in central Hel-mand province and for the Afghan govern-ment to demonstrate its commitment to the people living there, according to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

The city of Marjah was a hub for insur-gent activity early last year. The residents were oppressed and lived in fear for their lives.

Improvised explosive device factories spawned homemade bombs to line the roadways, and weapons caches equipped insurgents in the streets. The party ended, however, when the Afghan National Army and the Marines began their movement through the city. Third Battalion, 6th Ma-rine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (For-

ward), was on this initial push through the city. The unit has since returned to Marjah as part of its routine deployment sched-ule, only to find the city is a very different place this time around.

“Day one of Operation Moshtarak, we landed in helicopters and took indirect fire from 83 mm mortars, took fire from 107 mm rockets and took machine gun fire,” said Lance Cpl. Johnathan Osmer, a mor-tarman with 3rd Bn., 6th Marines. “We were fighting platoon-sized elements of (insurgents), but they weren’t (very skilled fighters).”

The month following the initial assault was quiet for Osmer, yet the insurgents were just one enemy the Marines needed to fight. Hail, sleet and rain threatened to flood their desert fighting holes, and freez-ing temperatures allowed for only a few hours of sleep each night.

During the visit, Marines were able to demonstrate partnership across the combined joint operations area in combating corruption and preventing pilferage. Brown’s tour also allowed senior leaders an opportunity to present issues and concerns to him that may be taken to Congress.

The senator also had a chance to see some of the equipment the CLB-6 troops are using to operate throughout Afghanistan in support of International Security Assistance Force operations.

CPL. JOHNNY MERKLEY2nd Marine Division

Marines, sailors and fam-ily members from 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, gathered out-

side the battalion headquarters aboard Ma-rine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently, to honor eight fallen comrades who lost their lives during the battalion’s recent deploy-ment to Afghanistan.

The fallen Marines made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the United States and help the Afghan people restore their coun-try and move toward a better future.

“There’s nothing harder about being a Marine than losing a Marine,” said Lt. Col. John Harrill, commanding officer for 2nd Bn., 8th Marines. “There’s also nothing harder about being a parent than losing a son, or being a wife and losing a husband.”

Family and friends listened as the battal-ion commander spoke to the crowd about the eight fallen Marines in his battalion and their sacrifices, also giving thanks to the family members who have been through so much over the past year.

“‘America’s battalion’ is amazed by your sacrifices – the pain you’ve endured in the name of our freedom and benefit of our nation,” said Harrill. “We sincerely love each of you and each one of your Ma-

rines, and now until the end of our days we will extend love to you as a battalion for whatever you need.”

Harrill read the words and gratitude from many of the Afghan National Army soldiers, who also expressed their condo-lences for the loss that 2nd Bn., 8th Marines had endured while they fought together side by side during the deployment.

“They attended our memorial services while we were in combat, they cried over the losses, and they viewed these fallen Marines as their brothers,” said Harrill. “They wanted the family members to know that no matter what happens in the end, none of this will be a waste, because the Afghan people had some good years

while your Marines were there.” Sorrow shot through the eyes of the fam-

ily members and friends as the ceremony ended with a three-shot volley, followed by the playing of Taps. Many of the friends and family made their way to the personal-ized battalion memorial and the eight pic-tures of the fallen to say one last farewell before the closing of the ceremony.

“This memorial service will not live long in our memories, but the lives and sac-rifices of our honored dead can,” said Lt. Cmdr. William Solomon, battalion chap-lain for 2nd Bn., 8th Marines. “We have a responsibility to keep alive the memory of those we lived with and served among. It is our duty to never forget the fallen.”

The Defense Accounting and Finance Service re-cently announced that paydays for military retirees will be changing to the first day of the month versus the first “business day.” The change will affect the October and January 2012 payments, which will be Sept. 30 and Dec. 30, respectively. This change affects regular retired pay, concurrent retirement and disability pay, and combat-related special compensation. The new rule also applies to retiree allotments, garnishments and court-ordered former spouse and child payments. The new rule does not affect survivor benefit plan payment dates.

According to DFAS, the 2011 National Defense Au-thorization Act requires future military retiree pay to be processed on the first day of the month. When that day falls on a weekend or national holiday, the pay date is moved to the previous business day. For the calendar year of 2011, military retirees will receive 13 rather than the normal 12 payments. Retirees should be aware that the extra payday in the 2011 tax year could affect their taxes. I recommend that retirees speak with a tax advisor, the Internal Revenue Service, or their state tax authority to determine if their tax withholdings will be enough for the federal and state income taxes when they file returns next year. If retirees need to adjust their withholdings, the quickest and most secure way is through MyPay, which is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You can access MyPay and use a W-4 or W-P4, or change the withholdings using a DD-2866.

The address for DFAS is: Defense Finance and Ac-counting Service, U.S. Military Retired Pay, P.O. Box 7130, London, Ky. 40742. The phone number is 1-800-321-1080. The fax number is 1-800-469-6559.

SGT. RICHARD BLUMENSTEIN24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

Spray cans that detect ex-plosive residue, spike strips that can be quickly spread to immobilize ve-hicles, and SQU.IDs that

translate English to Dari audibly in real time.

No, these are not high-tech gadgets off the latest superhero’s utility belt, but a shortlist of tools Marines trained with recently, during a Marine Corps Systems Command course at the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s motor pool and Harriet B. Smith Library.

The Marines, primarily from units scheduled to attach to the 24th MEU, spent the week training on the ins and outs of the new Escalation of Force Mis-sion Modules. The 24th MEU received the EoF-MM earlier this year. The train-ing served as a means to enable them to employ it during the MEU’s upcoming deployment.

Escalation of force procedures give units the ability to minimize civilian ca-sualties through nonlethal means. The EoF-MM is comprised of a plethora of nonlethal-centric weapons systems such

as riot shields, batons, lighting systems, powerful speaker systems, restraint de-vices, explosive detection devices and more. Basically, it provides Marines the assets to incapacitate personnel or mate-rial while minimizing fatalities, signifi-cant injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property in a target area or environment.

The EoF-MM divides those assets into mission-specific modules such as urban patrolling, entry control points and crowd control. The organization of the modules allows Marines to quickly gather the assets they need to conduct various missions, said Thomas Ritchie, the project officer for the EoF-MM, with MCSC.

“Everything is so quick to access, it’s all organized for you,” said Cpl. John Angiono, a military policeman with Combat Logistics Regiment 27. “It is re-ally all inclusive. Everything you could possibly need is going to be found in one of its quadcons.”

The EoF-MM is phasing out both the force protection capability set and nonlethal capability set Marine Corps-wide as an all-around lighter and more efficient asset. The EoF-MM takes less than half the space than the previous

systems because a number of its con-tents, such as lighting systems, have greatly been reduced in weight and size. The EoF-MM takes up four quadcons whereas the previous sets together filled more than 10.

The EoF-MM boasts a number of capabilities and advances over the older sets. Some of the more interesting items include the Magnetic Audio Device, a powerful speaker that can plug directly into an mp3 player. The device is used for a myriad of reasons, including direct-ing large crowds of people. Some other deceives include the Phraselator P2 and SQU.ID, electronic devices that translate English to another language audibly.

“The system is really cool because its voice activated,” said Cpl. Liji Sui, a field artillery cannoneer with 1st Battal-ion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, in regards to the SQU.ID. “It was extremely easy to learn. Just say the word and it will translate it to Pashto, Dari or Arabic.”

Once the Marines have been trained in the numerous implementations of the EoF-MM, it will serve as an invaluable asset to the MEUs’ ability to carry out missions such as humanitarian aid, non-combatant evacuations and more.

PETTY OFFICER 1ST CLASS GINO FLORESRegional Command Southwest

A simulated blast shat-tered the m o r n i n g silence at

Camp Leatherneck, Hel-mand province, Afghani-stan, and rapid response emergency teams across the base sprung into action to test their responsiveness with a casualty drill, recently.

The first responders be-ing tested were part of vari-ous military and civilian contractor outfits on base responsible for dealing with various crises.

The drill started with a simulated insurgent indirect fire attack on the base, a scenario organizers deemed a plausible event given en-emy tactics in Afghanistan, said 1st Lt. Jared Gastrock, a drill coordinator and ob-server for the exercise. The simulated attack resulted in numerous casualties and fires for responders to deal with.

Fire trucks and ambu-lances raced to the scene soon after the base alert sounded and the location of the developing crisis was established.

The crackling of flames and burning wood were heard and smelled amid a haze of smoke blanketing the scene of the drill. Casu-alty victims in the area of the attack, role-played by Marines, peppered the air with the agonizing sounds

of the injured.The Camp Leatherneck

Fire Department, Com-bined Aid Station and Pro-vost Marshal’s Office con-fronted the danger with an organized plan of attack.

First, military police with Task Force Belleau Wood arrived on scene to assess the situation. They searched for and identified casualties. The MP also monitored the grounds for additional threats as they directed and controlled ac-cess to the scene. Mock reporters and spectators were cordoned off to a designated control point near the scene to prevent interference with rescue operations.

Emergency lights and sirens filled the air as fire trucks and ambulances ar-rived on scene. The MPs, medics, hospital corpsmen and fire fighters coordi-nated to tend to the injured and addressed the ongoing threats of additional explo-sives and fire hazards still present in the area.

Scene safety was one of the top concerns of Sea-man Christopher Rinker, a hospital corpsman and member of the on-scene tri-age team.

“Any additional threats, like improvised explosive devices, can harm the emer-gency team’s success in responding to a casualty,” said Rinkers.

Fire department med-ics and hospital corpsmen with the CAS applied life-saving procedures as they came upon victims with

life-threatening injuries. The casualties were quickly removed from the hazard-ous zone, and sorted and separated based on the degree of injury before be-ing staged in a designated triage zone. The paramed-ics and hospital corpsmen gathered the victims while they monitored and stabi-lized the injured. They then loaded the ambulances with the casualties and evacu-ated them to the emergency trauma center on base.

Meanwhile, firefighters on scene attacked multiple fires until all the flames were extinguished.

Marines portraying ca-sualties wore detailed mou-lages and special effects makeup, bringing injuries such as face lacerations, compound fractures, sev-ered body parts and punc-tured wounds to life. These injuries tested the emergen-cy team’s skill proficiency in applying life saving pro-cedures and stabilizing the victims prior to evacuation, said Gastrock.

As the casualty drill concluded, leaders of the emergency teams on scene gathered to review the first responder’s perfor-mance and note areas of improvement.

The seamless combined efforts of multiple emer-gency teams that respond-ed to the drill led to the successful outcome of the drill, said Gastrock.

“We are now ready for a more complex and realis-tic mass casualty drill,” he explained.

OPEN LETTER TO AMERICA’SMILITARY PERSONNEL, FAMILIES AND RETIREES

FROM WALGREENS CEO GREG WASSON

For over 100 years, Walgreens has had the privilege of serving the pharmacy needsof America’s active duty and retired personnel and their families. We salute you andall you have done for our country. Today, Walgreens provides pharmacy services toyou as part of the Department of Defense TRICARE pharmacy program, and we aredeeply committed to continuing to serve you.

Our existing relationship with the company that manages your pharmacy benefit,Express Scripts, expires at the end of the year. As a front line provider, we have beenworking with them to renew our arrangement. Walgreens has made many significantoffers to Express Scripts.

We offered to lower our current rates with Express Scripts for prescriptions filled onbehalf of TRICARE beneficiaries. Our proposal would reduce TRICARE costs over thecoming years. In addition, Walgreens offered to separate its contract for TRICAREbeneficiaries from all other business with Express Scripts so that we could continueproviding services for all active and retired military personnel and their families. Wedo not wish for military beneficiaries to be “in the middle” of this issue.

To date, Express Scripts has rejected all our efforts to reach an agreement that wouldkeep Walgreens in the TRICARE network of pharmacies after December 31, 2011.

Our proposals for TRICARE patients remain on the table, and we would urgeExpress Scripts to reconsider these offers so that Walgreens may continue to serveour military communities.

We are proud of the women and men who have faithfully served and sacrificed todefend our freedom and liberty around the world. On behalf of the entire Walgreensfamily, as your community pharmacy, it is a privilege to serve you.

Sincerely,

Greg WassonWalgreens President and CEO

PFC. JAMES FRAZER2nd Marine Division

When Marines perform on-foot patrols during deploy-ments, they must sometimes move quickly through obstacles such as locked doors or roads lit-tered with improvised explo-sive devices. It’s times like that when having the knowledge to use an explosive charge to blow a door away or create a new path through a wall is beneficial.

Marines from Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Ma-rine Division, had their chance to train with several different munitions, including C-4 ex-plosives at a demolition range aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

At the start of the week, Ma-rines with Weapons Company drove to Engineer Training Area 3 where they immediately began training.

“This is a very good class that all of us need,” said Cpl. Dustin Howell, a vehicle command-er with Weapons Company’s Combined Anti-Armor Team. “Though these Marines (and I) will usually be on mounted pa-trols, there is always that chance that we’ll be told to do an on-foot patrol or encounter a situa-tion where we have to dismount and keep moving. That’s when classes like these become abso-

lutely essential.” After several classes on each

of the different munitions, they would be using and an in-depth safety brief to remind the Ma-rines of the dangers of the mu-nitions, the unit set to work on ETA-3’s live range.

They practiced with devices such as bangalores, a device used to breach obstacles such as concertina wire, and charges for clearing doors and making new pathways.

As the training week contin-ued, the Marines’ initial enthu-siasm for the training did not die down. For some, the training was the first time they had ever really worked with explosives, and for others it was an opportu-nity to gain more experience.

“I love doing this training,” said Lance Cpl. Michael Nord-man, a squad leader with weap-ons platoon, Company G. “We used knowledge from this class all the time while we were de-ployed to Afghanistan, so a refresher like this helps keep everyone sharp and ready even while we’re back in the U.S.”

After the Marines completed most of the lecture portion of the training and practiced set-ting dummy charges, they be-gan setting live munitions and counting down to the destruc-tion of locked doors, inconve-nient walls and the creation of new paths.

“This training is all about a unit’s freedom of movement,” said Cpl. Benjamin Gottwald, one of the instructors for the training at ETA-3. “It’s an es-sential skill not only for com-bat engineers but any Marine going on deployment to an ur-ban environment. This course specializes in demolition, but at ETA-3 we teach everything from explosives and different weapons systems to reconnais-sance and land navigation.”

The training area itself has been designed specifically to compliment various types of training. Surrounded by trees and twisting paths, with only a large shed where they teach the classes, the area appears very secluded. It is a range where Marines can practice with vari-ous weapons and a fake, urban environment made just for the demolitions training.

“Once the Marines are fin-ished with these classes, they can get called to do things like foot patrols, and as long as they have all the right equipment, they don’t have to worry about running into impassable doors or minor obstacles like concer-tina wire or a high wall,” said Gottwald. “As an instructor, it’s my job to make sure these Ma-rines have the knowledge they need to be able to go where they need to and complete their mis-sions successfully.”

PHILLIP R. CLARK2nd Marine Division

Marines with various units participated in Atlan-tic Response, a week-long training exercise aboard Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue Field, N.C., recently.

Atlantic Response is a deployment exercise to de-velop 2nd Marine Expedi-tionary Brigade’s ability to rapidly respond to today’s emerging crises.

The exercise is a high-ly-valued training effort centered on technology simulations – maximizing

the training value while minimizing the cost. Its main purpose is designed to identify, rehearse and validate 2nd MEB’s crisis response command and control capability in an austere environment.

“We’re given missions from the simulation cen-ter at (Marine Corps Base) Camp Lejeune, then once assigned, we have to act accordingly to the mis-sion. Tactical recovery of personnel, resupply and evacuate are a few of the missions that get sent to us,” said Col. Thomas R. McCarthy, 2nd MEB’s

operation officer. “We do these missions to set up a standard operating pro-cedure so when Bold Al-ligator comes along next year, we have procedures on what to do when some-thing happens.”

Exercise Bold Alligator is a live, simulated deploy-ment of Marines to react to a mission or crisis that has happened or will oc-cur. It will be the first op-eration of its kind that has happened in the past 10 years.

“We are getting our tools and procedures down now and getting used to

the actions that need to take place so when Bold Alligator gets here we can deploy the Marines and handle the mission appro-priately,” said McCarthy. “This is getting us back to our core, back to our roots. Marines are am-phibious, and the purpose of this training is to get us back to our amphibious operations.”

There are several chal-lenges the Marines have had to face so far, espe-cially since an exercise this big hasn’t been performed in 10 years. One of these consists of relearning how to operate programs and procedures for missions that occur, but the chal-lenges are easily handled now that they are getting into the routine of what needs to get done.

“Our biggest challenge is getting back into that routine of being amphibi-ous since it’s something we haven’t done in a long time. There are a lot of Marines nowadays that have never even been on a ship be-fore,” said McCarthy. “But we are working hard with our naval counterparts to get Marines on ships and to train them in procedures because training like this is very critical.”

A part of the training involves imaginary bor-ders and countries that Marines have to simulate their missions in.

“Our bread and butter is amphibious operations,” said Master Sgt. Keith Rhoades, the operations chief with 2nd MEB. “The general public see what we are doing in Afghanistan and what we did in Iraq, but sea to land assaults and operations bring us back to our roots and what Marines are all about.”

Exercise Atlantic Re-sponse is serving to pre-pare for exercise Bold Alligator 2012 which will be in late January to early February 2012 and will be the largest combined joint amphibious training exercise conducted on the eastern seaboard in the past 10 years. Exercises Atlantic Response and Bold Alligator both sup-port the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ intent to revitalize the Marine Corps’ amphibious war-fare proficiency, which remains one of II Marine Expeditionary Force’s top priorities.

The local residents had little trust in the Marines and made their job of tracking down insurgents difficult. They lived in fear of the insurgency, knowing that if they helped Marines, their families could be at risk.

“The (local residents) last year would lie to you,” said Osmer. “You would get into a firefight one day, shooting at their compounds because the insurgents had it occupied. When you went back to ask them how many there were, they would say they haven’t seen (insurgents) in months.”

The spring offensive began once in-surgents could extort money from pop-py-growing farmers as a way to finance their campaign. The first week of May last year saw Osmer in firefights nearly every day. His deployment progressed and as Marines dominated the battle-field, the enemy seemed to change be-fore their eyes.

“The last few months (of our pre-vious deployment) were a lot differ-ent,” said Osmer. “The fighters were using L-shaped ambushes, U-shaped ambushes, a combination of IEDs and ambushes – there was a big difference in the enemy from the beginning to the end. In the beginning, they would only hit you from one spot and there wouldn’t be much thought put into it. By the end, one firefight I got in, they came up behind us, then hit us from the east and then from the west.”

Several battalions have rotated through the area since 3rd Bn., 6th

Marines moved through Marjah early last year, furthering the progress and development the unit began. The Ma-rines who have returned with the bat-talion said they have noticed a lot of changes and are pleased with the im-provements. Where once they slept in fighting holes, now the Marines sleep on cots or sometimes in air-conditioned tents. They no longer consume meals-ready-to-eat three times a day, but oc-casionally enjoy warm meals. Marines have also improved security measures throughout their patrol bases.

“This year, the patrol bases are sur-rounded by (barriers),” said Lance Cpl. Justin D. Loya, a combat camera-man who was with 3rd Bn., 6th Ma-rines, during its deployment last year. “Some have a (Ground-Based Opera-tional Surveillance System) – last year no one had optics like that. It was just the Marines on post with their (night vision goggles) at night and their na-ked eye during the day.”

“The living conditions are better, we definitely have more cold water than we did last year,” added Osmer. “The biggest difference, however, is the IEDs and the firefights. Last year we couldn’t even walk on the road because the IEDs were so bad. We knew they were everywhere – (Marines with Ex-plosive Ordnance Disposal) attached to us had their hands full.”

The Afghan National Security Forces partnered with Marines have made great strides since last year and continue to make a difference. Fewer firefights denote a decrease in insur-

gent activity, and res-idents can use roads without fear of IEDs. Afghan and coalition forces are training with each other to provide security for local residents. Af-ghan National Army soldiers have begun to execute successful patrols on their own, while local Interim Security for Critical Infrastructure teams, which function much like a neighborhood watch, are springing up to take responsi-bility for the protec-tion of their homes.

“The local resi-dents are stepping up and taking care of the area,” said Loya. “It shows the Afghans are helping themselves.”

MARJAH FROM 1A

CPL. DWIGHT A. HENDERSON22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit

Marines with Company E, Bat-talion Landing Team, 2nd Bat-talion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, participated in a one-

day squad competition aboard the Norfolk-based USS Whidbey Island, Sept. 1.

The competition was geared toward junior Ma-rines and was comprised of four stations; M-249 squad automatic weapon disassembly and reas-sembly, immediate and remedial action drills, Navy portable radio 152 assembly and call for supporting fires.

“It was important for the Marines, so they can see where they stand, as far as abilities, against their peers,” said Cpl. Joseph D. Allen, a team leader with Company E. “They can identify where they’re deficient and work on their weaknesses.”

The Marines completed each task as quickly as possible then sprinted to their next station carry-ing their SAW and wearing their flak vest. The first two stations were the SAW disassembly and reassembly, and SAW immediate and remedial ac-tion drills.

“We emphasize things like call for fires because they need to know it,” said Allen. “But, (in a) real world, combat environment, the most important part was the first two stations.”

The Marines sprinted up vehicle ramps and onto the flight deck for their last two stations. Af-ter assembling and programming their radio, the Marines had to run to the “call for fires” station. There, using a map, they were able to practice plotting points and calling in artillery or mortars.

“From the time we (first) learned (call for fires) we’ve really progressed,” said Lance Cpl. Hunt-er B. Gordon, a SAW gunner with Company E. “There’s always room for improvement but this has really helped it sink in.”

Allen added that he believes the competition went well and did exactly what they needed it to do by identifying what aspects of combat readi-ness need more work.

The Marines will continue to train and enhance their combat skills as they wait to be called upon to use them.

The 22nd MEU is currently deployed as part of the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group as the U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, also providing support for maritime security opera-tions and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marines from Company F, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, from the Korean War era, visited Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for their 25th re-union from Sept. 8 through 10.

The Marines of Company F, most well into their 80’s, came to the base with their wives to meet with old friends and pay their respects to the ones who have passed away.

During their stay, they visited many sites from the base and also tested out some of the new technologies available to Marines.

“We went to the Joint Maritime Training Center and saw the work they did there,” said Arlen Hensley, a 2nd Bn., 5th Marines Korean War veteran. “We also got to get our hands on the different weapons they have at the (Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer). Even some of the wives got into it.”

Afterward, they paid a visit to the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle Egress Trainer. While there, they got to try out their skills at the Combat Convoy Simulator.

During their stay aboard the base, the veterans got to par-ticipate in many exciting events. However, they also took time out to honor their friends. On a sunny Saturday morning, they got together at the Base Protestant Chapel, where the handful of Marines held a roll call. Each name, more than 125, represented a friend who had passed away since their first reunion more than 20 years ago.

While many of the veterans from 2nd Bn., 5th Marines have passed away, the ones that are still around took this one week out of the year to spend as much time together as possible.

Among the veterans was former Pfc. Robert Ernest Si-manek, a Medal of Honor recipient. Simanek was awarded the Medal of Honor when he threw himself on an enemy grenade to save his fellow Marines and was severely wound-ed in the legs. He is just one of many Marines from 2nd Bn., 5th Marines who was awarded the Medal of Honor.

As the reunion drew to an end, the men of 2nd Bn., 5th Marines, had one final dinner, with Col. Daniel J. Lecce, the commanding officer for MCB Camp Lejeune.

As the reunion drew to an end, the veterans bade each other farewell and looked forward to their reunion next year, each one hoping to see all the same familiar faces wherever their reunion will be held.

Korean era Marines from 2/5 visit Camp Lejeune

“Give me any other day and I wouldn’t be able to tell you what I was doing 10 years ago,” said Cindy Thomas, a mili-tary spouse in attendance. “But I remem-ber exactly what I was doing 10 years ago today, and I feel the same way as I did then when I saw the planes hit the towers on television.”

Age, gender, race, political prefer-ence – all these factors that make each American citizen an individual – didn’t matter 10 years ago. The country wept as a whole when nearly 3,000 people per-ished, and the nation rallied together as one to find those responsible and avenge those deaths.

“It changed everything, our daily lives, how we viewed each other,” said Richard Severance, a firefighter with the Wilmington Fire Department in Wilm-ington, Del. “Anywhere you go and any-one you talk to, it’s still on their minds. They aren’t going to forget.”

Following the memorial readings at the Memorial Beam, the New York City Fire Department Bell, which hangs on a small trailer over bronze plaques with the names of the firefighters who lost

their lives while responding to the World Trade Center attack, loudly sounded, reverberating across the gardens. Af-ter the bell fell silent, the cavalcade of police cars and fire trucks sounded off, their sirens and horns screaming across town to remind everyone of the decade-old aggression.

At noon, the NYFD Bell was tolled once again, this time by the Franciscan Order of Monks to once again memori-alize those who perished on that day as well as to those who have lost their lives since then in the War on Terror.

At 2 p.m. Northside High School hosted the 10th Anniversary 9/11 Com-munity Commemoration, which sym-bolized the spontaneous gathering of the community 10 years ago to mourn as a group.

“It’s a complete tragedy, nothing less,” said Corey. “But it’s our job to make sure no one forgets and to teach the following generation the importance of 9/11.”

While military combat operations grind on overseas and rebuilding con-tinues in New York, the events that took place 10 years ago have not been lost in the minds of the American people,

and shall not for many more decades to come. Although it should not take a tragedy of such proportions to bring a nation together under one common banner, the country seldom has fewer

events where its people, no matter their separate thoughts and opinions, sought refuge in the arms of one another and ensured that infamous day shall never be forgotten.

Photo byJessie HeathParticipants walk off the fi eld together after the modifi ed baseball game last Saturday. Following each game, the league hosts a picnic to give participants and volunteers more time to spend together. The picnic, according to Collections of Comfort founder Claire Harris, is just as important as the actual game.

JESSIE HEATHSports reporter

Ronald Gaskin steps up to home plate, bat in his hand, ready to smash the ball out of the park. His mission is clear.

“We’ve got a big hitter here,” yelled an outfielder. “Everybody get ready!”

With a good swing and a solid follow-through, Gaskin’s bat connects with the pitch and the ball is in play. Fielders are scram-bling and there are cheers from the sidelines.

The real story is the one behind the smile on Gaskin’s face.Gaskin is a participant in the Collections of Comfort modified

baseball program, which gives children and adults with special needs the ability to play baseball in a judgment-free zone.

Organized by 16-year-old Claire Harris, a student at Jacksonville High School, Collections of Comfort was created in 2004 as a way to reach out to the community. The modified baseball league is just one of many programs in the Collections of Comfort organization.

“Collections of Comfort has multiple meanings,” said Harris. “The modified baseball program was started in 2010. I saw the need and saw how successful it had been in areas like New Bern. There wasn’t a program in Jacksonville and I thought it would be beneficial to everybody, so I started it.”

The modified baseball program pairs participants with special needs with volunteers for a Saturday morning baseball game and picnic lunch. The 2010 baseball season had 150 participants with an age range of 18 months to 80 years old.

“There is no age limit,” said Harris. “Everybody is welcome, regardless of their ability to play. I don’t care if they want to sit in the outfield or stay in the dugout the whole time. If they want to come out, I want them to come.”

Dora Gaskin, wife of Lt. Gen. Walter Gaskin, has been bringing her son to the modified baseball games since they began last year. She knows the benefits to the participants and their families.

“The athletes have fun playing, and the families can network,” said Gaskin. “Yes, they get to play and have fun, but while they play, their parents get to meet others and exchange stories. It’s like a family.”

Gaskin said that the improvement in the participants is visible when you look at where they started.

“Kids who were out here last year and wouldn’t speak or look anybody in the eyes now come up and talk to anybody,” said Gaskin. “The participants who couldn’t hit the ball last year can usually make contact with it. It’s rewarding to watch them blossom.”

Gaskin attributes the success of the modified baseball league to Harris’s spirit and love for the program.

“Claire is unbelievable,” said Gaskin. “She loves this program and she has put her heart into it. She’s an incredible girl and the kids love her.”

Harris calls Gaskin one of her mentors for the program and said that the program would never have been possible without her help and

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2B SEPTEMBER 15, 2011

There are very few things with the power to bring people together more than sports. Sporting events don’t know gender or race. They bring together fans from all over the world, united for a single purpose - to cheer on their team.

Fans are a major part of every sports league in the world. Fans cheer on their teams, celebrate their victo-ries and mourn their losses.

Recently, a part of the sports world has been mourning. First, Derek Boogaard of the New York Rangers was found dead at the age of 28. Next, Rick Rypein, former Vancouver Canucks player, was found dead in his Alberta home in August. Less than three weeks later, a former Couventry Blaze defensemen, Wade Belak, passed away at the age of 35.

Now, barely a week after the lat-est death in the hockey world, the most devastating blow has brought fans, coaches and players to their knees. A plane crash in Russia last week claimed the lives of nearly the entire KHL Lokomotiv major league hockey team.

The team, traveling to their first

game of the season at the time of the crash, included several former National Hockey League players.

The crash oc-curred just weeks before the United

States marked the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks that took the lives of so many innocent people. While the plane crash is not specu-lated be an act of terror or deliberate attempt to cause harm, it brings its own wave of pain nonetheless.

I, like many others, was saddened to hear of the crash and I spent much of the next few days wondering how much more the international hockey community could stand. Yes, hockey is a sport where being resilient is a big part of being successful, but resilience only carries you so far.

This tragedy is a big loss for the world of international hockey, and with former NHL greats such as Brad McCrimmon, All-Star Pavol Demitra and Josef Vasicek, a former member of the Carolina Hurricanes, onboard the plane at the time of the crash, the loss hits close to home.

When resilience breaks down and we start to wonder how much more we can take, what do we do?

We do the same thing we do any other time a tragic event occurs. We gather in groups and mourn together, trying to provide comfort to others

while seeking it ourselves. We grieve for the lives lost and pray for the fami-lies and loved ones left behind.

We rejoice for those who have been pulled from the wreckage and pray that the doctors and nurses will have the knowledge needed to help the survivors regain their strength and heal quickly.

We put flowers on vigils and light candles and send out Twitter updates and text messages, letting those hit hardest by disaster know that we are supporting them.

It is important, however, to re-member that in the midst of tragedy, there are always reasons to continue on. The NHL website adds lightheart-ed new posts to its ‘Summer with Stanley’ blog every few days. No less than eight NHL players will rejoin their teams this season after being sidelined due to injuries.

So, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the plane crash that claimed the lives of an entire team. Our hearts reach out to the aching hockey community and we think of the former teammates, the families and friends left behind.

Then, we look forward to the season ahead of us. We wait with excitement to see NHL players back on the ice and make our bets on who will win the Stanley Cup.

We remind ourselves that while we are saddened by tragedies that seem to happen one after another, true resilience and spirit can withstand the test of almost anything.

guidance. Harris said Gaskin opened her arms and encouraged her every step of the way.

Jay Bucksot, a volunteer with the Collections of Comfort base-ball program, is another mentor that Harris relied on to help her with her own program. Bucksot began the New Bern modified baseball league. His experience, said Harris, is essential to making the Jacksonville league work.

“I started the league in New Bern with a friend,” said Bucksot. “We had the idea after a prayer meeting one night and figured that the worst thing we could do would be to have the idea and never try to put it in action.”

Bucksot’s league was one of the inspirations Harris used when starting the modified baseball league in Jacksonville.

“(Bucksot) helped me find my players for the first year,” said Har-ris. “Without him, this would have never taken off.”

Unlike regular baseball, in which participants have a limited number of attempts to hit the ball and have to test their agility as they run the bases, the Collections of Comfort modified baseball league uses modified equipment to make playing easier for the participants.

“We have bases that stand up about four feet tall,” said Harris. “It’s easier for the participants who have wheelchairs because they can touch the base instead of having to move around it. It’s also easier for the blind participants to find.”

“One of the best things about this program is that everybody gets to do everything,” said Gaskin. “Every child gets the chance to hit the ball. It doesn’t matter how long it takes them to bat. They are going to hit the ball, even if it takes 20 pitches.”

In addition to special bases and lots of patience, the league makes use of beeping balls, special bats and many eager and willing hands.

“Volunteers make the program,” said Harris. “I love being able to give every participant special atten-tion. I would love to be able to give every participant a volunteer to work with, but that means that we have to have enough volunteers to go around.”

Harris believes that the modified baseball league is life-changing. She has seen the difference it has made in both the participants and

the volunteers.“We have volunteers who come

once and fall in love,” said Harris. “After their first day, they always want to come back for more. Some-times they connect with a specific participant and you can’t tear them away from each other.”

Volunteers like Joshua Mewborn and Jay Bucksot make the modified baseball program worthwhile, said Harris.

“Josh is always out here, doing whatever I need him to do,” said Harris. “Everything that I do, he’s right beside me to help and he en-courages me and stands behind me, no matter what I undertake.”

Harris’s heart for the par-ticipants of the modified baseball

program is evident. She treats her participants equally, regardless of ability or age.

“They are the same as the rest of the world,” said Harris. “They just have their own way of do-ing things. If people just stop and watch, I think they could learn a thing or two from the kids who come out to these games. They’re amazing, every last one of them.”

The Collections of Comfort modified baseball league welcomes new participants and volunteers. The modified baseball program runs through the end of October.

JESSIE HEATHSports editor

It was only Thursday, but the Friday night lights were already on and football teams had already taken to the field in their pads and helmets. Fans were in the stands and coaches held clipboards in their hands, waiting to call out plays for the athletes on the field.

Eight teams participated in the intramu-ral football jamboree aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River last Thursday. While the outcome of the jamboree did not affect team standings, it meant a lot to the coaches and players who participated in it.

The football jamboree is a way of giving coaches a chance to see where their team stands and how they measure up against the competition. The jamboree, which began in 2006 as a way to unite the teams in the intramural football program, is held prior to the start of each football season.

Beginning at 6 p.m., each team at the jamboree was given the opportunity to play three of their competitors. The mini-scrimmages began on the 40 yard line and went to the end zone, allowing four teams to take the field at a time without interfer-ing with each other.

“The jamboree is a great opportunity for us to get a good look at all the other teams,” said Master Sgt. Christopher Brown, a coach for the 2nd Assault Anphibian Battalion team. “We got a good look at the strategies of the teams we played against and we got to watch the teams we didn’t play against, which still gave us the opportunity to size up the competition.”

Each team was given a chance to use 10 offensive plays and 10 defensive strate-gies to see how they measured up against their opponents. For coaches and players, the opportunity was not something to be overlooked.

“The jamboree gives us a great chance to come together and scrimmage other teams instead of just scrimmaging within our own team,” said Brown. “It gives us the opportunity to work out some prob-lems we can’t see clearly in practice and get out the pre-season jitters.”

As the games began and teams took the field, it was clear athletes were ready

for the season to begin. They ran the plays coaches had scripted out for them, hustling back to the point of scrimmage in order to squeeze in all their plays before the time limit was up.

No punting, field goals, extra points or kickoffs were allowed, due to having mul-tiple games on the field at the same time, but all penalties were called and players were given the opportunity to get a taste for the upcoming season.

“The best thing I saw out of our team was pure talent,” said Brown. “It was a good opportunity for our team to support

each other as a family and get a good feel for our talent as a team.”

Teammates cheered from the side-lines when plays went over smoothly and spectators shouted their approval as players sacked a quarterback, ran a successful play and fooled their opponents.

With teams and spectators cheering for two games at the same time, the noise level grew louder and fueled the teams with more energy.

In addition to giving coaches and players a good chance to look at their opponents strengths and weaknesses, the

football jamboree also gave the teams the ability to fellowship with each other.

“It is a great event for all the teams,” said Brown. “We are able to get out as a team and meet other coaches and players. We get to make new friendships and get to know each other as a community.”

The intramural football season officially began this week and runs through Oct. 26. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams will be given a spot in the single-elimination tournament on Nov. 14 and the championship game will take place Nov. 21.

CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURNMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

During a freestyle wrestling invita-tional held by the All-Marine Wrestling Team, male patrons came to the Goettge Memorial Field House, don-ning singlets, to show off their skills on the mat in a double-elimination tourna-ment aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday.

While the invitational allowed wrestlers to come out, have a good time and let off some steam, it also gave the AMWT a chance to do a little scouting.

“We’re trying to put together a freestyle team and this gives us a chance to see what these guys have to offer,” said Cpl. Courtney Meyers, AMWT member.

Ten competitors participated in the 163-pound weight class, with another four competing in the 184-pound weight class.

The AMWT trains in Greco-Roman wrestling, which has a few distinct differences from freestyle wrestling.

Greco-Roman wrestling forbids holds below the waist, which is the major difference between itself and freestyle wrestling.

This restriction results in an empha-sis on throws, since a wrestler cannot use trips to take an opponent to the ground or avoid throws by hooking or grabbing their opponent’s leg.

Arm drags, bear hugs and headlocks found in freestyle have a greater prominence in Greco-Roman.

Throws, also known as a suplex, are used, where the offensive wrestler lifts his opponent in a high arch while falling backward on his own neck to a bridge in order to bring his opponent’s shoulders down to the mat.

Even on the mat, a Greco-Roman wrestler must still find several ways to turn his opponent’s shoulders to the mat for a fall without using his legs, includ-ing techniques known as the bodylock and the gut-wrench.

Participants ranged in skill level and experience but they continued to duke it out to the end of the tournament.

Lance Cpl. Vondell Foreman, with Motor Transportation, 3rd Battalion,

9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, took first place in the tournament.

To prepare for next year’s tourna-ments, the AMWT will be holding the

All-Marine Wrestling Camp begin-ning Oct. 1, where Marines from MCB Camp Lejeune, Camp Pendleton, Calif., Camp Smedley D. Butler, Okinawa, Japan and more will come together

to train.For more information on the

JESSIE HEATHSports reporter

Stephen Siller was just finishing work when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Centers on Sept. 11, 2001. A Brooklyn firefighter on his way home from a long night at the station, Siller knew that he couldn’t just watch the horrors of the day unfold without trying to help. He turned his truck around and headed back to work without a second thought.

Siller, like so many other first responders to the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., never made it home. He was last seen running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel with 60 pounds worth of gear on his back, headed to help those who needed it most.

After his death, Siller’s family sought for a way to remember the sacrifice he and so many others made on Sept. 11. They organized the Tunnel to Towers 5K to carry on Siller’s legacy and honor all those who laid down their lives for people they had never met.

Last Saturday, more than 100 people gathered at the USO of North Carolina Jacksonville center to participate in the Jacksonville Tunnel to Towers 5K run. Firefighters, service members and civilians gathered to remember their fallen countrymen and pay tribute to those who continue to serve as a result of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Deb Fisher, director of the USO of N.C. Jacksonville center, remembers Sept. 11 like it happened yesterday and wishes people took time to remember the events of Sept. 11 more often.

“When the bombing of Beirut happened in 1983, I had a sick feeling in my stomach,” said Fisher. “When Sept. 11 occurred, that feeling was magnified.”

Fisher, who has been working with the USO since 2004, said that the Tunnel to Towers 5K seemed like a great way to honor the men and women who serve their country. For Fisher, the run represented more than the actions of one brave man.

“Our service members and their families are amazing,” said Fisher. “They sacrifice so much and when we have the chance to give anything back to them, we should take it with no questions asked.”

With her motto of giving back whenever possible, Fisher knew that whenthe event was brought to her attention, she wanted to act on it.

“I knew we had to do it,” said Fisher. “There was no question about it in my mind. This had to happen here.”

Participating in the run was a no-brainer for others as well. Kelley Crenshaw, wife of Master Sgt. Raymond Crenshaw, knew she wanted to participate the moment she heard about the event.

A member of the Jacksonville military moms’ Stroller Warriors running club, Crenshaw and more than 20 of the women in the military mom’s running club gathered to participate.

“The events that happened on Sept. 11 shaped our lives,” said Crenshaw. “We are all affected by the events that happened on that day and the decisions made after.”

“When we heard about the Tunnel to Towers 5K run, we knew it was a cause we could support,” said Liz Gorman, another member of the Stroller Warriors running club. “When this group of women gets behind a project, we get a little out of control. Like so many other moms, when we do something we believe in, there is no stopping us. That’s why there are more than just one or two of us here today.”

Crenshaw and Gorman, along with the rest of the moms in their running club, have seen first hand how the decisions made in regards to the Sept. 11 terror attacks have shaped our country.

“We have a lot of wives out here with deployed husbands,” said Gorman. “The military is obviously very close to all of our hearts, and this run is for everybody who has served in any way, shape or form. It is a great way to give back to those who give so much.”

Lt. Scott Longo of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Fire Department attended the run to honor his fallen companions and prepare for the New York race.

Longo will represent MCB Camp Lejeune Fire Department in the Tunnel to Towers 5K in New York City Sept. 25, where he will run the same path that Siller ran on this way to the World Trade Center.

“This is my first 5K,” said Longo after finishing the race. “I’m 51 and never thought I would do anything like this.”

Longo has family in New Jersey and knew several firemen who lost their lives trying to save others after the attacks. His wife, Barbara Longo, knows that the connection her husband feels to the Tunnel to Towers 5K is not something that can be replaced.

“He loves his job,” said Longo’s wife. “He is excited about representing our area in the New York run and didn’t want to miss the chance to give back to those who have given so much.”

Longo, who has been with the MCB Camp Lejeune Fire Department for 22 years, said that his family and friends were supportive.

“My buddies up that way have been helping me get ready for the run,” said Longo. “They’ve all been very supportive and I’m excited and honored to be part of the big event in New York.”

The Stephen Siller foundation, through the Tun-nel to Towers 5K, uses the funds raised through their

events to help the families of those who put themselves in harms’ way in the line of duty. Their programs offer aid to the families of injured service men and women and to the children who have lost parents in the line of duty.

The organization also reaches out to quadrapalegic members of the armed forces by building new homes for them that are wheelchair friendly.

“This is a great organization and they do a good job supporting our heroes,” said Fisher.

The Tunnel to Towers 5K will take place in more than 20 cities in the United States in 2011. For more information, visit www.tunneltotowersrun.org.

Camp Lejeune receives Warrior

Preservation

AwardCPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURNMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

In an awards ceremo-ny held at Base Safety aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, Marine Corps Installa-tions East commanding general, presented the Warrior Preservation Award for fiscal year 2010 to the Base Safety Department, Sept. 8.

This award is present-ed each fiscal year to the Marine Corps installa-tion that has established the most comprehensive safety program and con-sists of a representative trophy, a commemora-tive wall plaque and a certificate signed by the commandant of the Ma-rine Corps.

“This is a special award because it is a Warrior Preservation Award,” said Gorry. “That is really the role of a base supporting es-tablishment. It’s the role of the fifth wheel of the

(Marine Air-Ground Task Force). This is a very positive award, it’s fantastic.”

For the past two years in a row, MCB Camp Lejeune has received the merit and runner up awards.

“This tells me that, one, we’re continuing to improve but, two, that it’s not a single individual – it’s a team effort,” said Gorry.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has dis-tinguished itself as a leader in promoting safe-ty and health excellence through effective and efficient core and safety services, program man-agement and command self assessment.

Despite a high opera-tional tempo, the base excelled in all 10 core safety services, including tactical safety support to the operational forces of II Marine Expeditionary Force.

While improving in every aspect of the core safety services, MCB Camp Lejeune has also

completed its second year as the beta test site for the Enterprise Safety Applications Manage-ment System with more than 2,400 deficiencies that were tracked, updat-ed and ultimately abated using this system.

The base’s aggressive position regarding on-base driving privileges and motor vehicle safety training resulted in a bet-ter than average speed compliance rate, a 99 percent seatbelt usage compliance rate and a 98 percent hands-free cell phone usage rate.

The proactive ap-proach also resulted in low injury rates with a record low lost workdays and a significant decrease in the government motor vehicle mishap trend.

“If you look at how many lives we’ve saved because of the good work that you’ve done here, it’s just incredible,” said Col. Daniel Lecce, Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une commanding officer, when he addressed base safety personnel.

Sitting, scanning the waters on her lifeguard chair at the Area 2 Pool aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une July 6, Josie Martin was picking out patrons and running scenarios through her head of what might or could hap-pen – something she was taught to do as a lifeguard.

Martin happened to be watching a young man in the pool, thinking about what he might do, what might happen. Then she went on break, as lifeguards are required to do. But, 25 minutes later, she saw people running and she soon followed. That same young man she had been watching was unconscious.

The 14-year-old military child was reported to have held his breath under water as he swam a lap. After the lap, he got out of the pool, stood up and fell right back in – apparently blacking out – in the deep end.

“Two Marines immediately went down and got the kid,” said Martin. “I immediately began to apply what I learned as a lifeguard to save this kid’s life.”

With no pulse and no breathing, Mar-tin began CPR. After one round, he be-gan to show signs of life. After she per-formed rescue breathing, the child began to fight with Martin and other people who were trying to help, which is nor-mal for drowning victims.

Martin said she had no time to hesi-tate, because hesitation could be that person’s life.

“I went into automatic,” said Martin. “You have no time to get emotional. I had to focus or else nothing good would have happened.”

Martin was honored for her life-sav-ing actions by Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, the Marine Corps Installations East commanding general, and Col.

The increased number of Marines, as a result of the “Grow the Force” ini-tiative, has caused crowding within facilities and parking lots aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

within the past few years. MCB Camp Lejeune ad-dressed this problem by constructing the Wallace Creek Complex, which is scheduled to be complet-ed by Oct. 14.

The $196-million Wallace Creek Complex will house infantry Marines aboard the base just off of Birch Street. The complex will consist of 18 new structures, comprising a total of nearly 510,000 square feet.

“Division was having three men to a room, which was not what we wanted to do but had to because of the lack of space,” said John Caston, a facility planner with Installation Developments Division, MCB Camp Lejeune. “We knew we couldn’t build all this in the (Hadnot Point) areas, so we decided to find a new location.”

The project will construct the necessary administrative and headquarters facilities, operational, maintenance and mission support facilities, as well as training and housing facilities to support approximately 3,000 Marines and sailors who will soon be living there. The building project will also construct facilities necessary to support the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command’s mission.

Caston said when Marines and sailors move in, they will immediately feel as if they’re in a hotel, since they will use swipe cards to gain access to their rooms.

“The new BEQs are a big change from the ones that (the base) has - even the entry-way lobbies look like the ones you see in hotels,” said Caston.

The complex will also feature the base’s first parking garage, which will be an open, four-level structure to allow spacing for 897 personally-owned vehicles and 33 motorcycles. The roof of the park-ing garage will include photovoltaic solar panels, which will be capable of producing one megawatt of power, which is equal to 1-million watts.

While developing the master plan for the con-struction projects, base officials wanted to create facilities that are more energy efficient. To cut the use of energy, buildings will utilize things such as boiler systems that use natural gas to reduce the amount of emissions and photovoltaic solar panels to reduce the use of electricity. The new facilities will help make the goal of reducing 30 percent of the military’s energy consumption by 2015.

The master plan enables up to four battalions that will be located around a central operational and maintenance area, which will include motor transportation, electric, communications, mainte-nance facilities and armories. A supply warehouse will also be in located in the center to support the regiments. The regimental headquarters will be in the center of the complex, but not immediately ad-jacent to the battalion and company headquarters,

and each battalion and company headquarters will be located in proximity to the three barracks that will house their Marines and sailors.

Base officials also wanted to effectively utilize the building area to save space while maintaining an environment that divided the bachelor enlisted quarters from their work area.

Caston said the plan is to centralize the work ar-eas and put the BEQs around the regimental area to offer the Marines a more relaxed environment dur-ing their leisure time and not feel like they are sur-rounded by work. The layout of the complex will also make every facility within walking distance, added Caston.

To offer recreational activities, basketball and volleyball courts will be built near the BEQs and every BEQ will have a lounge located on the ground floor.

Navy Capt. Craig Fulton, the assistant chief of staff for Installations and Environment, Marine Corps Installations East and director for Installations and Environment, MCB Camp Lejeune, said the new complex will be a pleasant living experience for Marines and sailors coming back from deployments.

“It’s a great improvement for the quality of life for the Marines when they come into garrison from their time out in Afghanistan and Iraq,” said Fulton.

Marines and sailors will soon catch a whiff of fresh paint as they begin moving into facilities that have completed construction.

Editors Note: This is part three of a three-part series concerning deer management aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

In previous weeks, The Globe addressed the is-sues created with high deer populations in ur-ban areas, to include

problems such as deer-vehicle collisions, vegetation damage to landscape and gardens, and tick-borne illnesses.

Last week, The Globe covered the topic of how Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s hunting program can and has helped manage the deer. In this week’s article, base officials conclude that hunting alone will not be an effective solution to reducing deer in urban areas.

North Carolina Wildlife Re-sources Commission and MCB Camp Lejeune personnel agree that the number of deer and the amount of damage observed jus-tifies implementing a new avenue for management action.

The Unites States Depart-ment of Agriculture Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services was requested by MCB Camp Lejeune to assist with dealing the urban deer issue. MCB Camp Lejeune personnel,

USDA’s Wildlife Services and NCWRC staff met and agreed upon a Deer Management Plan, which will include using USDA Wildlife Services sharpshooters.

Base officials have obtained a deer depredation permit from NCWRC to allow the sharp-shooters to begin shooting deer within the next few months. Bucks will not be shot and only antlerless deer will be taken.

The sharpshooters will begin eliminating deer by operating 10 hours a night for four days a week, once a month, accord-ing to the Deer Management Plan. The sharpshooters will use high-powered rifles, night vision equipment, forward-look-ing infrared units and spotlights to help illuminate the deer, at which point, shots will be care-fully taken.

“Harvesting the deer is important, but the safety of people is the commanding officer’s top priority – which is why we’ve hired qualified professionals to help remove the deer,” said Korenek.

The sharpshooters will fire from elevated positions such as stationary stands, and the maxi-mum shooting distance will not exceed 100 yards to ensure that a missed shot does not stray off.

During a deer culling project in Chester, Pa., police Lt. Ber-nard D’Amour, who oversaw the culling, said he witnessed the culling team of two USDA em-

ployees take down 71 deer with only 71 shots fired with not one shot missing its intended target.

The USDA NRA certified sharpshooters shoot both day and night and have to shoot three consecutive shots within a one-inch target at 100 yards. They intend to kill the deer through head and neck shots to ensure humane and rapid death.

“This is the only humane way of doing things,” said Ko-renek. “The deer harvested will also provide data that helps us understand things such as the diet and health of the deer.”

During the whole course of the Deer Management Plan, the USDA will routinely process the venison at a nearby meat processing plant. As an added benefit, the venison will be packaged and delivered to soup kitchens and homeless shelters in Onslow, Lenoir, Carteret and Craven Counties.

“Hunting is the preferred way to manage the deer popula-tion,” said Korenek. “But, with construction going on and other changes being made to the hunt-ing program, many areas have been temporarily or permanent-ly closed to hunting. We had no other choice.”

For any questions or concerns about the deer issue aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, please call 451-7235.

USDA sharpshooters help provide safe, effective solution to deer issue

Wildlife Services, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune personnel agree that the number of deer in urban areas have caused enough damage to implement a new avenue for management action.


While shopping at the mall, there are many things to look at, but when someone walks in with a dog one cannot help but notice. Dogs usu-ally aren’t allowed in pub-lic facilities, unless they are service dogs, at which

point the American with Disabilities Act requires all public places allow access to individuals and their service dogs.

Most people may think service dogs are only used to help the blind, but they have been providing help to people in many other ways.

Paws for Veterans In-corporate, an organiza-tion founded by Michele

M. Malloy, has developed a way of providing aid to service members by help-ing them train their own psychiatric service dogs.

Every four to six weeks, Crystal Callahan, head trainer with the Paws for Veterans program, and her team of volunteer trainers, have been travel-ling back and forth from Florida to North Caroli-na to offer their time and

effort to certify service dogs.

“What makes this pro-gram different is we’re not handing somebody a service dog that is already trained, because there’s no bonding there,” said Callahan.

Trainers accompany the service members to help pick dogs that are compatible with their owners. Dogs must then

pass a temperament test in order to become a ser-vice dog.

“The majority of the dogs are from animal shelters, so while the (service members) are being helped, the dogs are also being rescued,” said Callahan.

The dogs, training and paper work is covered by Paws for Vets for service members diagnosed with

a qualified disability. In order for service members to own service dogs, they must live in a house, while service members living in bachelor enlisted quarters must find their dogs a fos-ter home.

There is a lot of work and dedication that is put toward training service dogs, but these dogs help

Service members raise, train their own service dogs

LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

During the Labor Day holiday weekend, while many Marines and sailors were relax-ing and taking time off from work, not think-ing about anything work related, one sailor used her medical training to save a life.

Seaman Recruit Nicole Robshaw, a corpsman with Naval Hospital Camp Leje-une, kicked off her Labor Day weekend with a friend and planned to practice her hobby, photography.

“It was near eight in the morning on Saturday and we had decided to go to the Waffle House in Warsaw to grab some-thing to eat,” said Robshaw. “Once we got there, we ordered our food and just chatted while we were waiting for our food.”

Robshaw then noticed that her friend’s face had gone white and behind her, she could hear a thump as someone hit the floor. When Robshaw turned around, she saw an elderly man on the floor and a lady nearby in a state of panic.

“I calmed her down and then had her put his head on her lap,” said Robshaw. “Meanwhile, people were already starting to group around. I told them I was in the Navy and that I was certified.”

Robshaw’s training instantly kicked in and she started assessing the situation, tak-ing a pulse and noticed that it immediately

went from 136 beats per minute with la-bored breathing to flat lining.

Robshaw immediately started using her basic lifesaving skills and when she assessed the gentleman, she got back 40 beats per minute - a low pulse, but a hopeful sign.

“Once I got a pulse from him I started asking him questions,” said Robshaw. “Once the local emergency services showed up, I passed on what information I had gathered, washed my hands, ate my waffles and left.”

Robshaw credits the training she has received while in the Navy. Robshaw said that the training kicked in and she went on autopilot.

After the Labor Day weekend, when Robshaw was asked how her weekend was, she calmly told her story, thinking it would not be a big deal. As word of her heroics spread, the command chief presented her with a challenge coin.

Robshaw recently finished her training at the Naval Hospital Corps School and is aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une to attend more training at the Field Medical Training Battalion aboard Camp Johnson.

“I didn’t know that I would be using all the training I learned less than two months ago,” said Robshaw. “But like another chief told us at school, ‘Anything can hap-pen, anywhere, so just stand by.’”

service members tackle challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder or anxi-ety disorder. An individual suffering from PTSD can experience symptoms such as night terrors and in this case a service dog can address the problem by waking that individual. If an individual isn’t comfortable with not being able to see behind them, their service dogs can be trained to post behind their back.

The service dogs can also help provide balance, check rooms for intruders or remind their owners to take medication.

Callahan said the program offered by Paws for Vets has been in place for about a year. Callahan said she understands how the service members feel because she was also diagnosed with PTSD.

The training sessions that Callahan leads also functions as a bit of group thera-py. The service members have many different dogs, ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to enormous Mastiffs, but many of them face similar challenges.

“These guys are actually developing a sense of accomplishment and confidence they haven’t felt in a long time,” said Callahan. “This makes a huge difference.”

These dogs do much more than the tasks they’re trained with. Callahan said when people in public ask the owners about their dogs they’re

usually more than willing to talk about them. This gives them an opener and acts as a bridge that can help the service members regain their comfort and confidence in public, added Callahan.

Paws for Veterans, with the helping ‘paws of man’s best friends,’ are truly mak-ing a difference in the lives of service members by healing wounds invisible to many.

DOGS FROM 2C

Daniel J. Lecce, the Marine Corps Base commanding officer, in front of her fam-ily, friends, peers and service members at Lejeune Hall, Sept. 9. She was awarded with a commendation for meritorious ci-vilian service.

Gorry took the ceremony personally as his oldest son was a lifeguard at one point.

“I take this to heart because my old-est son was also a lifeguard,” said Gorry. “He too had to go in the water and save a woman’s life.”

Looking toward Martin, Gorry added, “I want to personally thank you for your lifesaving actions that day.”

Lecce took the stage afterward and read a letter from the boy’s mother, who could not make the ceremony. She hailed Martin as her son’s guardian angel. Lecce noted, though Martin didn’t want the rec-ognition, he felt it was important to high-

light those who go above and beyond.While speaking to Martin after the cer-

emony, Lecce said, “Being a lifeguard is like being in combat. In combat, there’s a lot of boredom followed with quick bursts of action. Being a lifeguard, there’s a lot of sitting down, then all of a sudden there’s trouble in the water. You have to be ready, and you were.”

While Martin felt she was doing what she was taught to do, she doesn’t feel like anyone’s hero. She said her heroes are those who carry heavy loads while try-ing to stay alive in combat; those who put their gun belt on around the waist and pa-trol the streets; and those who put on their fire retardant outfits to put out blazes.

According to the letter from the boy’s mother about Martin, “You were there for my son that day. You were there for a rea-son. You are my son’s guardian angel.”

Martin, you are a hero.

AMY BINKLEYCarolina Living editor

Few things in this world can have such a remark-able effect on human emotions as music. It can drudge up forgotten memories, transport people to another time and even heal wounded souls.

As thousands of people gathered around the country to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the service members, civilians, law enforce-ment and others of Onslow County came together to allow soaring melodies to sooth their aching hearts at Northside High School, Sunday.

Hosted by the Onslow Civic Affairs Committee, the me-morial concert was the third and final remembrance ceremo-ny of the day, following an observance at Lejeune Memorial Gardens and a prayer at the Onslow County Courthouse in downtown Jacksonville, N.C., earlier.

“This ceremony follows the many spontaneous gatherings of our community that occurred after 9/11,” said narra-tor Lisa Miller. “We as a community wanted to mourn as a group, to reflect on the events and to evoke the spirit of our nation.”

On the afternoon of that fateful day 10 years ago, so much was known about what was happening but so little was known about the country’s future.

American citizens shared a common ignorance of terror-ism until that point.

When the planes hit, their eyes were open, hearts bled rivers of pain. Then, refusing to drown in their sorrow, they clung to each other, determined to stay afloat.

The NHS Air Force Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps presented the colors for the official start of the cer-emony, and the 2nd Marine Division Band from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune played a rousing rendition of the national anthem.

Tony Brenes, chairman of the Jacksonville Youth Coun-cil, took the stage to lead the crowd in the Pledge of Alle-giance. He was only in elementary school when the attacks happened, but growing up in war time, he understands the importance of remembering the lives that were lost.

“It’s a day that changed America forever, especially mili-tary families,” he said. “I see how it continues to affect the families around here. A lot of my classmates have parents who are deployed. We need to always be aware of what happened.”

Along with the band, the New River Harmony Men’s Barbershop Chorus and the Cardinal Chamber Strings from Jacksonville High School played music of faith, reflection, remembrance and strength that kept the audience in a state of somber silence.

However, it was the flawless soprano saxophone solo by Staff Sgt. Mark Pellon during the 2nd Marine Division Band’s performance of “Flowerdale” that brought the first round of tears to people’s eyes.

A number of people carry the physical scars of the

“FINAL DESTINATION 5” (R)

“Final Destination 5” is a supernatural hor-ror thriller and the fifth installment in the “Final Destination” series.

With the premise “no matter where you run, no matter where you hide, you can’t cheat death,” in this film, death is just as omnipresent as ever, first revealing its menac-ing reality to a group of coworkers headed for a corporate retreat.

Nicholas D’Agosto (“Fired Up!”) stars as Sam Lawton, who dur-ing the bus ride, has a premonition in which he and most of his friends, as well as numerous others, die in a horrific bridge collapse.

When his vision ends, events begin to mirror what he had seen, and he frantically ushers as many of his colleagues, including his friend Pe-ter, played by Miles Fish-er (“Superhero Movie”) and his girlfriend Molly, played by Emma Bell (“Frozen”), away from the disaster before death can claim them.

But these unsuspecting souls were never sup-posed to survive and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group tries to discover a way to escape death’s sinister agenda.

The ensemble cast includes Courtney B. Vance (“The Fight”) as Agent Jim Block; David Koechner (“An-

chorman”) as Dennis; P.J. Byrne (“Dinner for Schmucks”) as Isaac; Tony Todd as Bludworth; Ellen Wroe as Candice Hooper; and Jacqueling MacInnes as Olivia Castle.

Steven Quale is making his feature film directorial debut with a screenplay written by Eric Heisserer (“A Night-mare at Elm Street”), based on characters created by Jeffrey Red-dick (“Final Destination” series).

The film, which is darker and more sus-penseful than the previ-ous tales, was shot on location in Vancouver in 3D, and the third dimen-sion in this case really works with the scare effects.

“Final Destination 5” is mindless horror and strictly for the fans of this franchise.

Now playing at Midway Park

“30 MINUTES OR LESS” (R)

“30 Minutes or Less” is an action-comedy crime production about a pizza delivery guy who embarks on an unlikely caper.

Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network,” “Zom-bieland”) stars as Nick, a small town pizza deliv-ery guy whose mundane life collides with the big plans of two wannabe criminal masterminds when he delivers a pizza to the wrong address.

Danny McBride (“Ob-serve and Report”) and

Nick Swardson (“Just Go With It”) play Dwayne and Travis, a volatile duo who abduct Nick and force him to rob a bank.

The two los-ers and aspir-ing criminals’ original plan was to hire a hit man to kill Dwayne’s over-bearing father, an ex-Marine known as ‘The Major,’ played by Fred Ward (“Armored”), so that his son could collect millions won in the lottery and start a business of his own.

Instead, Nick becomes the patsy to obtain the needed money. The criminals drug Nick, strap a bomb to him and force him to rob a Michi-gan bank.

With mere hours to pull off the impossible

task, Nick enlists his uptight, ex-best buddy Chet, played Aziz An-sari (“Get Him to the Greek”), and they fumble their way through a hys-terical heist.

As the clock ticks, the two must deal with the police, hired assassins, flamethrowers and their own tumultuous relationship.

Ansari wrote some of the jokes and, along with the others, did a lot of improvisation and their rapid fire banter fills every scene.

Also starring is Mi-chael Pena (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) as Chango, the hired assassin.

Director Ruben Fleis-cher (“Zombieland”) returns with this loopy heist caper that has some outrageous car chases and most often very

offensive humor.“30 Minutes Or Less”

is a zany, irreverent com-edy about two losers who have no redeeming social values and are ticking away with their crude, mean-spirited humor that appears to be immensely funny to some and very stupid to most.

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHTMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Honestly, I don’t know what it is about

naval doctors that turn so many people away from being treated by these sailors with years upon years of medical practice and experience under their belts.

Maybe it’s due to the misconception that they don’t receive enough medical training before hitting the Fleet, or due to the friendly Navy-Ma-rine Corps rivalry taken to ludicrous lengths.

Either way, the mani-festation of this dislike is usually within the mater-nity section of naval med-icine; more specifically, the maternity practices at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune.

I cannot recall how many times I’ve heard “horror stories” from Ma-rines and their spouses discrediting the reputa-tion of naval medicine, but moreso in how many expecting parents are reluctant to receive care at NHCL, opting instead to be seen out in town.

I think the greater population is uneasy about the training the doctors, nurses and mid-wives receive as opposed to their counterparts in the civilian sector.

This, however, is not where a thin line sepa-rating the two training regimens exists, but no line at all.

To start, all doctors, nurses and midwives must be registered nurses before starting any sort of medical training.

Afterward, midwives for instance, those who deliver the babies in the hospital, go to college for their master’s degree in midwifery, learning their trade and undergoing clinical residencies at a certified civilian college.

In terms of training, naval medical practitio-ners actually learn more than their civilian coun-terparts if you include the various other naval training programs they go through. In terms of over-all medical knowledge, they are side-by-side with any other civilian doctor.

It is always the curse of reputation, however, where the negative stories tend to stand out more than the positive.

One bad comment toward a doctor can out-shine a dozen good ones, and it is these negative reviews made about such doctors, nurses and mid-wives that are taken into account when deciding where to be treated and

eventually give birth. It is for this sake that

I recount my son’s birth experience with my wife at NHCL and how it was one of the best displays of medical attentiveness I have witnessed to date.

My wife was 39 weeks during a routine check-up when, due to a series of isolated spikes in blood pressure and above-aver-age protein in her urine, it was decided she would be induced to prevent any possible future complications.

Many people might think that acting upon these signs might be jumping the gun, but that is in fact one of the hospital’s more endear-ing qualities – leaving no possible stone unturned when it comes to patient safety, never being the type of practice to push patients out the door to see the next one in line until all possible avenues are checked.

That was the case when it came to my wife being induced from these seemingly trivial signs. She might have been perfectly safe if her labor came about naturally, but there was that chance where something serious could have happened.

My wife was in labor for a solid 28 hours, fighting the ever-growing contractions while I tried to sneak an hour of sleep in here and there when I could.

Throughout the afternoon, night and fol-lowing morning of that time, there was a steady pattern of various nurses and doctors checking up on her to ensure she was as comfortable as she could be and making any adjustments needed to her medication or taking various labs.

As the day shift per-sonnel switched to night shift and subsequently back to day, there was never a hole in the un-derstanding of my wife’s conditions and the intri-cacies of her treatment. Every different nurse and doctor seemed to natural-ly be on the same wave-length, even though there were three other women in labor on deck.

Then the time came where my wife’s cervix was dilated to nine cen-timeters and the contrac-tions were two minutes apart.

A nurse explained the birthing and breathing methods to my wife, and for the next two hours the nurse coached her in pushing.

When she was far enough along, eight more nurses, doctors and one midwife flooded the room and quickly set up everything they needed.

Twenty minutes later,

our son was brought into the world.

It might not sound like much of a birth story, but let me break it down and explain how that one day in the Labor and Delivery Ward of the naval hos-pital convinced me that NHCL is among the best hospitals in the Depart-ment of Defense.

When the time came, no loss of personnel was felt anywhere in the birth-ing process.

The whole thing ran like a 25-jewel Swiss watch, each individual knowing exactly what their separate tasks were and executing them with the utmost proficiency and speed.

In a few short minutes, the baby and placenta were out and cleaned up, a tear was sewn up and initial tests and documen-tation were taken and ran before I could even figure out what everyone was doing.

My wife and I are now at home with a one-month old son, healthy and active as ever.

I hate to think, how-

ever, of the possibilities if those small, initial pre-cautions were not taken and something serious had arisen if my wife was not induced.

From start to finish, everyone was attentive, understanding and ready to help in any way neces-sary, and many other stories confirm just that about other birthing experiences at NHCL.

However, as I have stated before, these posi-

tive experiences often are drowned out by a few negative ones, falsely dis-crediting the performance of the naval hospital. There are those who still opt to be seen out in town.

According to Vir-ginia Beach Circuit Court records, a Dr. Enrique Tomeu was directly in-volved in seven malprac-tice lawsuits in a 10-year span.

Three of those law-

suits were similar: when Tomeu delivered the baby, his violent delivery procedures resulted in the infants incurring shoulder dystocia, which results in a form of paralysis that can leave the shoulder, arm and hand perma-nently disabled.

Due to his lawsuits, Tomeu left Virginia for New Zealand, where after a year of

TWO LOCATIONS IN JACKSONVILLE TO BETTER SERVE YOU!

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 4D SEPTEMBER 15, 2011

SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSONMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

When Cheryl LeClair’s husband returned home from a deployment to Afghanistan a few years back, he came back with traumatic brain injury, commonly referred to as TBI.

He didn’t get it, how-ever, from combat. He and other Marines were conducting Marine Corps Martial Arts Program moves when his head was slammed onto the deck.

Regardless, LeClair saw the pain her husband was going through. She wanted to do something that would help her hus-band reduce his pharma-ceutical drug intake and also help those returning from war with post-trau-matic stress disorder, as well.

Already a certified yoga instructor, she heard about a yoga-related program designed to help those with PTSD, TBI and even insomnia.

The program, Integra-tive Restoration or iRest for short, is renamed after Yoga Nidra, which is an ancient meditative practice dating back to thousands of years ago. iRest heals the various unresolved issues, trau-mas, and wounds that are present in the body and mind, and is restorative in that it aids the body and mind in returning to a nat-ural state of functioning, according to the Integra-tive Restoration Institute, which was created by Dr. Richard Miller.

Practiced at more than 10 military installations and Veterans Affairs hos-

pitals in the United States, LeClair brought these ser-vices to combat veterans and all active-duty service members aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une and the surrounding communities.

She began helping vet-erans through the Back on Track program, which is an accelerated two-week treatment program for Marines and sailors diag-nosed with PTSD admin-istered by Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune’s Mental Health Department.

For the past 15 months, she has volunteered an hour a day, five days a week. Noticing the treat-ment’s positive response, Marine Corps Commu-nity Service’s Semper Fit department hired her.

Only through referrals can a person receive this treatment at the hospi-tal through the Back on Track program. Realizing this, she also wanted to help those who do not necessarily have PTSD-re-lated issues, so she spends an hour every Thursday evening at Second Wind Eco Tours in Swansboro, N.C., to administer the therapeutic treatment to active-duty service mem-bers and other combat veterans for free.

“A few years ago, when I was instructing yoga stu-dents, a lady by the name of April Clark graduated my course,” said LeClair. “At the time, she worked for a corporation full time. I told her if she ever decided to open up a yoga studio, to let me know. A few months later, she decided to take a different career path and opened up a yoga studio and here I am. Her father is a retired Marine sergeant major, so

she fully supports what I do.”

During an iRest ses-sion, LeClair will have the participants lie down on the floor and get com-fortable with the use of pillows, mats and towels. From there, she guides her participants to recon-nect their minds to their bodies through breathing techniques. Shortly after beginning, they are deep asleep.

“Studies have shown that one hour of this treatment is worth three to four hours of regu-lar sleep,” said LeClair. “Here, they are able to clear their minds.”

Petty Officer 3rd Class Patrick Haslett, a corps-man with Combat Lo-gistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, has attended LeClair’s Thursday evening’s class for the past six months and though he does not suffer from PTSD, he said that one hour a week has made a huge impact on his life.

“This class helps me manage stress levels with my job,” said Haslett, who deployed with Combat Logistics Battalion 8 last year. “Being a corpsman, you have to deal with hun-dreds of Marines and this class has been a tremen-dous help. I am able to work with a lower stress level and I even sleep bet-ter at night.”

Cpls. Kevin Marburger and Cody Sellers are patients in the Back on Track program. Wounded from combat operations in Afghanistan last year, they have developed PTSD and insomnia and credit LeClair helping them with their sleep-related issues.

“Every time she did the

iRest treatment, I would wake up so rejuvenated,” said Marburger. “I still sleep four to five hours a night, but the treatment made me a lot calmer.”

Sellers agreed.“We all have different

disabilities and she is able to adapt to that,” said Sellers. “If one guy has an arm issue and the other a knee, she keeps that in mind when she is here helping us.”

Willa Feldhaus, the Back on Track coordina-

tor, said LeClair has been a blessing to the program and the patients love her.

“I have heard many Marines and sailors propose to her,” joked Feldhaus. “They want her around all the time so they can continue to receive the treatment con-tinuously. All joking aside, she’s a saint and will work whenever she is needed, any time of the day.”

LeClair found a way to help others and is sticking to it as she said, “If you

have a gift that is of ben-efit to others, use it.”

“I do this because I have so much to be thankful for,” LeClair said. “Once I saw the dif-ficulties my husband was going through, I wanted to help out. I knew yoga was good for the mind and body and once I researched iRest, I got involved and brought it to this area. I love those who protect us and will continue to help out in any way I can.”

Farmers’ Market Idol showcases local talentAMY BINKLEYCarolina Living editor

Several sang. Plenty performed. But there could be only one winner.

Crystal Fussell was crowned the 2011 Farm-ers’ Market Idol during the competition that puts Onslow County’s most talented singers on

display, Saturday.On the cloudless morning, competitors lined up for a

chance to win the grand prize – $500, a free portfolio photo session, a restaurant gift cer-tificate and a free recording

session in a studio.

The smell of the fresh fruits and vegetables

reminded every entrant that

sometimes talent is homegrown.

“I am stunned by the quality of contestants this year,” said Nancy St. Charles, event marketing direc-tor. “It’s the most difficult scoring we’ve ever had.”

From gospel to country to classics

like Frank Sinatra, the Onslow County Farmers’ Market was the place to be for music aficionados.

“There’s a lot of diverse music,” said Shay Marsh-burn, a 16-year-old whose vocal abilities stopped shoppers in their tracks. “I love singing, so I thought I’d try this.”

Contestants were understandably nervous, but when they took the stage, they appeared to be at home engaging the audience with familiar tunes.

Resident Elvis im-personator, Jay Barnes, crooned “Unchained Melody” and new-comer Alecia Kinney had the crowd sweating with her a cappella version of Peggy Lee’s classic song,

“Fever.”While

everyone seemed to be having a good time, the significance of the weekend, the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, was not lost on any of the competitors, judges or spectators.

Jeff Hudson, county manager and one of the judges, recognized the importance of a small town show at such a historical time.

“Today is proof we won’t let terrorism have power over us,” he said. “We celebrate individual talents knowing that collectively we make a powerful nation. We continue to live our lives.”

Mayor Sammy Phillips agreed, noting, “It’s living proof that the American spirit is still alive.”

Tallying up techniques, interpretation and stage presence was secondary to remembering the innocent lives lost at a time when many of the competitors were only children.

“9/11 means a lot because of our military presence,” said North Carolina State Sen. Harry Brown, who was as-sisting with the judging process. “This is a good example of the freedoms they died for. It’s an emotional weekend for everyone.”

Ashley Will and her family come out to the farmers’ market every week to support the local farmers and buy fresh produce. As a military spouse, she was thankful that life was going on as normal despite the anniversary of such tragic events.

“You can’t live scared,” she said. “You don’t want the kids to worry about what’s going on.”

Judge Aimeé Kahl, who is also a military spouse, believes even a little thing like a talent contest shows the resiliency of the country.

“We want to honor everyone in every way we can,” she said. “There’s no better way than through music.”

As the judges announced that the top three contestants were only separated by a point or two, the crowds cheered when Fussell was named the winner. Marshburn and Kinney took second and third place, respectively.

Fussell took time to express her appreciation to the service men and women who volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way to protect others.

“With everything the service men and women have done and how everyone came together that day, I want to give back, even if it’s in a small way,” she explained. “This is how I can show my apprecia-tion.”

Onslow County Farmers’ Mar-ket is located on Highway 258 on Saturdays and behind Dick’s Sporting Goods on Western Boulevard in Jacksonville, N.C., Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Some couples evenopt to do an outdoor weddingon the property, followed by areception in the banquet room.“A wedding here canbe relatively simple andinexpensive. We do cakes andprovidefingerfoodanddinner,”says Theresa. The banquetroom’s maximum capacity is100 people.In 1992, Mike’s Farm beganto host school programs for thelocal children. The educationalprograms vary seasonally, butthey always include a hayridearound the farm accompaniedby a brief on the local Carolinahistory.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. SEPTEMBER 15, 2011 7D

LT. GARY PEPPERMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

During these couple of weeks in September, you will not be able to listen to the radio, watch a televi-sion program, hear a podcast or read a newspaper article without being reminded of our history as a nation.

Sept. 11 marks the 10th anniversary of the at-tacks on the United States of America. Were we ready?

After the attacks, President George W. Bush said, “Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror…Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks…I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threat-ened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: ‘Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me.’”

After the attacks on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt spoke to the American people.

He said, “Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan…With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounding deter-mination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God.”

During each of these tragedies, both of our presi-dents called upon the strength and comfort of God.

Time is up. What comes to mind when these tragedies barrel down on us like Hurricane Irene or Hurricane Katrina? It is not a question if tragedy will strike, but when.

History has a way of repeating itself.President Roosevelt once said, “I believe that I

interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.”

As you remember this day in history, remember the admonition of our leaders to call upon God for comfort.

“Blessed be the God and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our affliction,” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.

practice, his delivery methods resulted in the death of a newborn.

Pending investigation in New Zealand, Tomeu returned to the United States to continue practice – at the Crist Clinic for Women in Jacksonville, N.C. from August 2006 to December 2009.

To date, he is now employed in Kenansville, N.C., still continuing to deliver newborns.

Yet with healthcare practitioners like that out and about, there are those who distrust NHCL enough to want to risk being seen by them, al-though I am sure the ratio of doctors like Tomeu as opposed to the rest is greatly unbalanced.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind what-soever that the Bureau of Naval Medicine would allow any sailor with that sort of record to continue

their service. Zero.The aforementioned doctor was not mentioned

for the use of scare tactics, nor is this entire edito-rial written as an effort to bolster public participa-tion in NHCL.

It is, however, an effort to dispel the negative outlook on not only NHCL, but all naval hospitals on the whole, that were formed strictly from the few negative experiences that might have been for whatever individual reason.

Sailors engaged in a medical capacity are trained just as well and as long as any civilian counterpart, as well as being more heavily monitored due to their military service.

Put faith in your naval hospital – there is abso-lutely no need not to.

attacks, but the emo-tional scars run deep for an entire generation and their impact will continue to ripple out to those who follow.

“To me, 9/11 means remembrance, not just ceremonies,” said Gabri-elle Landi, vice chairman of the JYC. “Even though I was young, I remember the chaos and panic and the look on people’s faces. Things like this help us remember the time when our country was unified.”

Though the intricate harmonies and move-ments of the musical pieces evoked strong emo-tions, it was not a day to remember the enemies but rather the heroes.

More than 3,000 people died on 9/11 when terrorists hijacked four airplanes, running two into the World Trade Center in New York City and one into the Penta-gon in Washington, D.C. The fourth attack was thwarted by the brave men and women aboard Flight 93 and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.

Volunteers took the stage holding pictures of some of the victims and putting faces with names for those in the crowd.

A handful of stories were told in memory of those aboard the flights, in and around the World Trade Center and

Pentagon and the first responders.

Bernard Curtis Brown, II was an ambitious, 11-year-old student on a trip to study oceanic life with his teacher, Hilda Taylor, when terrorists took over his plane.

“He lived to go to school,” Miller read. “He was not like other 11 year olds. He was always smiling.”

Children at the cer-emony sat still to listen to his story. Though they weren’t alive when history was made, their parents felt it was important that they be in attendance for the 10th anniversary.

“They need to know what happened,” said Samantha Bennett, a former military spouse. “We wanted to show them how it’s still affect-ing things.”

More heart-breaking stories captivated the at-tentive audience.

Helen Crossin-Kittle, who had asked her future husband on their first date, had been eager to start a family immediately after they were married. She was five months pregnant and working on the 103rd floor of the first tower when the plane hit.

Gerard Dewan and 11 other of the firefighters from Ladder Company 3, Battalion 6 in Lower Manhattan were among

the first to enter the tow-ers after the attack. They never made it out. Dewan was the first member of his family to be killed in the line of duty.

Though all the victims were on the hearts and minds of the nation, the final category, honor-ing those who have died while fighting the War on Terror, hit close to home.

The local crowd did not hold back their tears when the picture of fallen Navy SEAL Chris Campbell was raised. The hometown hero was killed Aug. 6 when insur-gents shot down his heli-copter, killing him and 36 others in Afghanistan.

It was a stark reminder that the war that began with the events 10 years prior is still not and can-not be finished until the enemy is defeated.

Crystal Love, a mili-tary spouse, knows all too well how the War on Terror continues. She brought her children to the ceremony to help them understand why their daddy, a Marine, isn’t around.

“This is our fourth de-ployment in four years,” she said. “It’s important for them to know why he’s gone. He’s protecting what he loves the most.”

A decade ago, no one could fully comprehend the meaning of the events

of 9/11. People around the

world saw the word “hero” personified as footage of the first re-sponders running into the crumbling towers and the story of the passengers of Flight 93.

There were no capes or special powers to speak of. There was simply the strength of the human spirit.
