JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- TheFourth of July is recognized internationally asAmerican Independence Day. But, that is the datethat the American colonies declared independ-ence; it took another seven and a half years to ac-tually gain independence from Great Britain. Itwas not until The Continental Congress ratified theTreaty of Paris on Jan. 14, 1784, that America offi-cially became a sovereign nation.

Annapolis, Md. is well known as the SailingCapital of the United States; but during this time inour nation's history, the Maryland State House inAnnapolis was actually the Capitol. The Treaty ofParis was ratified in Annapolis, thus making it thefirst peace-time capital of the United States.

Annapolis still retains much of its colonialcharm, making it an ideal destination to learnabout colonial life and our beginnings as a nation.The city was designed on a grand baroque streetplan like the capitals of Europe, and retains manyof its original colonial buildings. In fact, the historicdistrict boasts more surviving colonial buildingsthan any other city in America.

Visit the Nation’s firstpeace-time Capitol

The Maryland State House is the oldest statecapitol still in continuous legislative use, and ac-quired national significance when it served as theCapitol of the United States from November 1783- August 1784. The Continental Congress met inthe Old Senate Chamber, which is still open to thepublic. It is currently being renovated to its orig-inal eighteenth century appearance, and you canfollow the progress at marylandstatehouse.blogspot.com. The State House is open to thepublic daily from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., except for Christ-mas and New Years Day. Visit www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdstatehouse/html/home.html for moreinformation.

Stroll the streets with a colonialAnnapolitan

During colonial times, Annapolis was knownas the "Athens of America." It was an importantshipping port, which brought wealth, hospitalityand cultural activities. Take a tour with a colonial-clad guide and hear stories of the ContinentalCongress, Washington's resignation as Com-mander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, thesigning of the Treaty of Paris, and quips abouteveryday colonial life. Both Capital City Colonials(www.capitalcitycolonials.com) and WatermarkTours (www.watermarkcruises.com) conducttours; check out their websites for times andprices.

Visit the colonial homes of signers ofthe Declaration of Independence

Four signatories to the Declaration of Inde-pendence lived in Annapolis. All four of theircolonial homes are still standing in Annapolis,three of which are open to the public.

Charles Carroll House: Maryland was originallya proprietary colony of the English Lord Balti-more, who wished to create a refuge for EnglishCatholics in the New World. Charles Carroll is theonly Roman Catholic to sign the Declaration of In-dependence. His home is on the grounds of St.Mary's Roman Catholic Church, on Duke ofGloucester St., and is open to the public on Satur-days and Sundays from noon - 4 p.m. Check outwww.charlescarrollhouse.org for more information.

Chase-Lloyd House: Although Samuel Chasesold it before residing in it, the edifice is still ofgreat historic significance as one of the first three-story Georgian townhouses built in the colonies.The home was reacquired by Chase's descendents

What is your favorite part of your job?My favorite part of my job is helping my

customers. Even though all the attaches are lo-cated overseas, I enjoy having correspondencewith them via e-mail in regards to taking careof their actions and leaves they would like tofurther process on a daily basis; they keep mebusy and each action is different and challeng-ing in every way. Some attaches surprise meand pop in when they are in town or send methanks which I am very appreciative of.

What's your favorite color, and why?My favorite colors are black and red. More

black than red though because it insinuatesmy figure and I can play with it using multiplecolorful pieces making them pop.

What is your favorite movie quote?"I am nothing special; just a common man

with common thoughts, and I've led a com-mon life.There are no monuments dedicatedto me and my name will soon be forgotten.But in one respect I have succeeded as glori-ously as anyone who's ever lived: I've lovedanother with all my heart and soul; and to me,

this has always been enough," from the movieThe Notebook. A very strong and true state-ment!

What's your favorite candy?Recently I had come across some choco-

late covered almonds, which I tend to have acraving of more often so that will have to bemy favorite candy. That and Boston BakedBeans, which is a coated peanut.

If you could have any super power, whatwould it be and why?

I have a couple that I would like to combineinto one. It would be nice to have Storm's pow-ers from the X-Men comics, not to age at all, tosee generation after generation of my family, tobe able to hear when somebody is talkingabout me from miles away, and to be invisible.

What would you do if you won $1 mil-lion?

I would buy a new car, house, and a goodpiece of land in Atlanta, Ga. The rest would gointo the savings account for my child to use atherdiscretion,hopefullytowardshereducation.

Who inspires you, and why?This question would be hard if I didn't

have my daughter. Now that I have had her,I would have to say her! I would do any-thing for us to make sure we get by andmake it in this economy. If that meanswork five jobs to put food on the table thenso be it.

What is your best military memory?My best military memory will have to be

basic training and advanced individual train-

ing. To this day I wish I can go back and linkup with the same individual's I have wentthrough it with. I miss them a lot and knowthat they are doing big things.

What do you want people to know aboutyou?

That even though my exterior may lookhard, I am a very sweet and genuine person.I work hard at any task that is handed to meand enjoy challenges every now and then. Ido not care for liars and fake people!

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. - From tragedycame opportunity. The U.S. CoastGuard didn't have a significant pres-ence in the nation's capital until theterrorist attacks of September 11,2001. Today, it's quite common tosee a Coast Guard boat enforcing asecurity zone, patrolling the Po-tomac River and guarding the Na-tional Capital Region.

What began as a boat forces unitin theWashington, D.C. area has be-come an operation with 24-hour re-sponse capability. Officially com-missioned in December 2003 - thesame year the Coast Guard wastransferred to the Department ofHomeland Security - Coast GuardStationWashington has grown leapsand bounds since its humble begin-nings inside a 900 square-foot build-ing on what was then Bolling AirForce Base.

The station now exists in twobuildings comprising 8,000 square-feet on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.The station has four 25-foot re-sponse boats, a communicationscenter, maintenance facility and ishome to a crew of 33 active-dutymembers, 22 reservists and more

than 100 auxiliary volunteers.Lt. Jason Hagen, the station's

commanding officer since 2009,said it's one of five Coast Guard sta-tions assigned to sector Baltimore.It's responsible for 46 nautical milesof the Potomac River starting fromKey Bridge on down to FairviewBeach, Va. Whether a training mis-sion, or a large maritime operationlike limiting access areas during theState of the Union address, Hagensaid Coast Guard members aretrained for any kind of mission.

"We pride ourselves on searchand rescue, in addition to security,law enforcement, marine environ-mental protection, defense opera-tions and boating safety for those inthe NCR," Hagen said. "We'll getcalls for vessels that have run out ofgas, someone falling out of a boatand engine failure. There are ap-proximately 25,000 registeredboaters in this region. That's a lot ofboaters to watch out for."

With Maryland,Virginia and D.C.law enforcement nearby, Hagen saidhaving tri-state jurisdiction enableshis group to tag-team various oper-ations with their fellow port part-ners. He said the Coast Guard sta-tion has worked extensively with

Washington, D.C. police and fire rescue, aswell as the agency's own maritime unit ofnearly a dozen boats. Hagen said the stationalso has the ability to listen in on D.C.'s ownradio communications and emergency calls.

"That's a tremendous advantage. It al-lows us time to devise a plan on how to reactto a situation, or decide how many membersare needed for that response, before gettingthe call ourselves," Hagen said. "This is avery unique area to work in. The pace andtempo is very different than anywhere else.The partnership with all these differentagencies is beneficial beyond words."

Besides local law enforcement, Hagensaid Coast Guard members also work closelywith a number of federal agencies, includingmembers of the Secret Service. Hagen saidit's not uncommon for Coast Guard person-nel to do counter-surveillance prior to thePresident flying, or surveying vehicle motor-cades over different bridges. Members of thestation also participate in an annual aircraftexercise at Ronald Reagan Washington Na-tional Airport.

Seaman Alexander Smith, a native ofNewport News, Va., is on his first duty as-signment and has only been at Coast GuardStation Washington for two months.Though, in that short amount of time, theknowledge he's gained has been invaluablefor his career.

"I help paint and do maintenance checksof the boats. I have also participated in a lot

of hands-on training that can only furtherme in my development," Smith said. "Icouldn't have asked for a better station to bea part of. We have great camaraderie hereand great leaders to learn from."

Unlike Smith, Petty Officer JoeWestwoodhas been at the station three years and is oneof several coxswains, which is Coast Guardlingo for a boat driver. He is a member of thestation's Search and Rescue unit.

"This is a great learning station, especial-ly for those looking to become a crew mem-ber of a boat. Because of our location, it'salso a chance to interact with many impor-tant agencies and understand how we workwith one another,"Westwood said. "For newguys coming in I think it's important to getas many qualifications as you can. Figureout what you want and just pursue it vigor-ously."

Hagen, who joined the Coast Guardshortly after high school, will soon be takingcommand of a station in Honolulu, Hawaii.His change of command takes place July 12.Though, before leaving his station and JBABcommunity for the rich waters of the Pacific,he has one very special thank you he wantsto share.

"I can't say enough about the relation-ship we have here with our DoD, Air Forceand Navy folks. This joint base has been atrue support network to us," Hagen said."They opened up their services to us like wewere their own. I'm truly grateful for every-thing they've done for us."
