MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) — Summer is the perfecttime to gather up your family or friends and take a roadtrip.With amusement parks, beaches and family reunionshappening all over the country,more families are planningto buckle up and hit the road, Navy leaders said June 26.

“Although the road trip is half the fun,making it to yourdestination safely should always be the first priority,” saidDorice Favorite, director of the Navy Alcohol and DrugAbuse Prevention (NADAP) Office.

In keeping with the Navy’s recently launched “KeepWhat You’ve Earned” campaign, NADAP urges Sailors todrink responsibly throughout the year — you’ve earnedit, don’t waste it.

This summer, consider the following:•While on vacation, you may be traveling an unfamiliar

route, hauling a boat or camper, along with the possibledistraction of pets and children in the car.Adding alcoholto the mix puts the lives of the driver and everyone in thecar, as well as other people on the road, at risk.

•Whether you’re on the road or outdoors, summer tem-peratures plus alcohol can equal trouble.Hot summer days

cause fluid loss through perspiration,while alcohol causesfluid loss through increased urination.Together, they canquickly lead to dehydration or heat stroke.

•At parties, make at least every other drink a nonalco-holic one. If you’re the host, be sure to provide plenty ofcold, refreshing nonalcoholic drinks to keep your guestswell hydrated. If you know you’ll be driving, stay awayfrom alcohol.And remember, there’s no shame in taking acab or sleeping on a friend’s couch if you feel at all unsureif you should be driving.

•Most importantly — do not drink and drive.The rate ofalcohol-related traffic fatalities increases significantly fromMemorial Day to Labor Day.

“The summer holidays are some of the most danger-ous times of the year to be on the road. Our Sailors haveworked hard and deserve to enjoy their summer in a safeway,” said Favorite.“Have fun with family and friends, butbe smart if you choose to drink.”

For more information and to help promote responsibledrinking this summer within your command, you canaccess materials and resources from NADAP’s recentlylaunched campaign, Keep What You’ve Earned, availableat www.nadap.navy.mil.

“Do you hear the peoplesing/lost in the valley of thenight/it is the music of a peoplewho are climbing to the light/for the wretched of the earth,there is a flame that never dies/even the darkest night will end

and the sun will rise.”— Les MiserablesThough our daughter is not yet born, my wife and I

still consider ourselves parents.Thus, June 16 markedmy first “official” Father’s Day. And as a gift, my wifebought me the soundtrack to the 2012 film version ofthe musical,“Les Miserables,” based on the classic his-torical novel by Victor Hugo. The book is one of myall-time favorites, and after seeing the movie upon itsrelease last year, I can honestly say that the music is byfar some of the best I have ever heard.

As I’ve listened to the soundtrack (over and overagain) this past week, I’ve found myself questioningagain and again what I consider to be the primary mes-sage to be of “Les Miserables.” I do this often after I’vewatched a movie or read a book,because I think tryingto“get at”what the author or creator is trying to conveycan help us take away important life lessons as well asmake sense of the world as we know it as a whole.

Truth be told, there’s a lot going on in “Les Mis” interms of its overall message.Without giving a full syn-opsis, it’s the story of crime, punishment, class warfare,thievery, rebellion, revolution, courage, love and ulti-mately redemption.But perhaps even above all of thoseelements, it is, at its foundation, a story of…eternity;specifically, of the exact same eternal longing for hopethat John saw fulfilled in Revelation 21:1-5…

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for thefirst heaven and the first earth passed away,and there isno longer any sea.And I saw the holy city, new Jerusa-lem,coming down out of heaven from God,made readyas a bride adorned for her husband.And I heard a loudvoice from the throne, saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacleof God is among men, and he will dwell among them,and they shall be his people, and God himself will beamong them, and he will wipe away every tear fromtheir eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there

WASHINGTON (NNS) — Defense Department offi-cials will move forward in making benefits available toall military spouses, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel saidin a statement issued after the U.S. Supreme Court struckdown the Defense of Marriage Act.

The law had prevented federal agencies from offeringall of the same benefits to spouses in same-sex marriagesthat they provide to other spouses.

Here is the secretary’s statement:The Department of Defense welcomes the Supreme

Court’s decision today on the Defense of Marriage Act.The Department will immediately begin the process ofimplementing the Supreme Court’s decision in consulta-tion with the Department of Justice and other executivebranch agencies. The Department of Defense intends tomake the same benefits available to all military spouses—regardless of sexual orientation — as soon as possible.That is now the law, and it is the right thing to do.

Every person who serves our nation in uniform steppedforward with courage and commitment. All that mattersis their patriotism, their willingness to serve their coun-try and their qualifications to do so.Today’s ruling helpsensure that all men and women who serve this countrycan be treated fairly and equally, with the full dignity andrespect they so richly deserve.

Later, a Defense Department spokesman issued a state-ment detailing some of the steps the department is taking:

•The Department will immediately begin to update theidentification card issuance infrastructure and update theapplicable implementing guidance.We estimate that thisprocess will take about 6-12 weeks. For civilian employ-ees, the Department will look to OPM for guidance.For ci-vilian employees who are eligible for ID card-related ben-efits, the Department intends that ID cards will be madeavailable to same-sex spouses of civilian employees at thesame time as same-sex spouses of military members.

• The Supreme Court’s ruling means that the DefenseDepartment will extend all benefits to same-sex spousesof military personnel that are currently extended to op-posite-sex spouses, including medical, dental, interment atArlington National Cemetery, and with-dependent BasicAllowance for Housing.The Department will implementthese benefit changes as soon as possible for same-sexspouses.

• The policies governing burial at Arlington NationalCemetery will apply equally to same-sex and opposite-sexspouses.

• We are carefully reviewing command sponsorship foroverseas tours, and all applicable Status of Forces agree-ments.

• We will assess costs as we move forward with imple-mentation.

During the ceremony, Lorge thanked those he has

worked with throughout his career, and reflectedon his time at NDW.

“NDW is a team of amazingly powerful success,”said Lorge.“They are the team that lends supportto our warfighters and cares for their families backhome.They are the team that buried NeilArmstrong.They hold the widows of our fallen shipmates atDover.They are team 87.I will miss them,I will misstheir dedication, their belief in accomplishing theimpossible and the joy they show on a daily basis. Icould never have dreamed a better dream than be-ing the commandant of Naval District Washington.”

Vice Adm.William French, commander, Navy In-stallations Command, presented Lorge with the Le-gion of Merit for his able and dedicated leadershipof NDW from July 2008 to June 2013.

Corporate Fellow with Honeywell, International.“I couldn’t be more impressed with what I’ve seen here

during the turnover of team 87,” said Rich.“It is a profes-sional, capable and talented team. I’m excited by what I’veseen, and I’m excited to get started. I look forward to har-nessing those incredible abilities of the NDW team and totake on new challenges of our broad and diverse missions.”

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Air Force Master Sgt.Antone Scott always had wanted his identical twin brotherto be a part of one of his reenlistment ceremonies, but for10 years, timing and location kept them apart.

But, when Scott raised his hand at Eglin Air Force Base,Fla., June 27 to take the oath for his fifth enlistment, hisbrother was there to administer it.

“It’s a great honor knowing he could have selected anyofficer for his reenlistment,but he was willing to make theextra effort and coordinate to reenlist this way,” said NavyLt. Cmdr.Anthony Scott, assigned to Amphibious Squadron6 at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story.“I’mvery thankful and blessed to share this moment with mybrother and our family.”

Master Sgt. Scott was all smiles during the ceremony.Af-ter years of separation, delays and other obstacles, he fi-nally recited the oath to his brother.

“The timing was finally perfect for him to administer theoath to me for both the first and most likely the last time,because this will take me to 24 years of service,” the 96thLogistics Readiness Squadron member said.

The brothers grew up in Greenville,Ala.They spent theirfirst 20 years confusing friends,relatives and teachers,whotried to figure out which one was Anthony and whichone was Antone.They were always in different classes inschool, although they did swap places occasionally with-out anyone discovering.

“It was easy, because I knew how to act like Antoneand he knew how to act like me,”Anthony said, laughing.“When we look back at old photos of ourselves, it’s some-times difficult to tell who is who.”

Antone remembers those days of having a doppelgangerfondly.

“Always having someone by your side growing up andsharing everything was fun,”said the master sergeant,wholeads 18 members of Eglin’s deployment facility.“It’s one ofthe best experiences of my life.”

In 1992, the brothers signed up for the Navy togetherin the delayed entry program, but Antone “jumped ship”before entering and instead stepped into the blue twomonths later in January 1993.

“He was smarter,”Anthony joked.Throughout their linked life,Antone always has followed

Anthony,his big brother by three minutes,especially whenit came to education. Anthony completed his associate’s

and bachelor’s degrees, followed a year later by Antone. Infurther education, Antone is only a few steps behind An-thony,who already has completed his master’s degree.

“Anthony was always the overachiever,”Antone said witha smile.

Since they joined the military, the brothers have seeneach other only sporadically as their careers moved them

BY JESSICA PELLEGRINIArmed Services Blood Program

FALLS CHURCH, Va. —The Armed Services BloodProgram launched its summer donation drive on July1.

“Our summer campaign this year is a service-spe-cific campaign,”said Julie Oliveri,ASBP’s communica-tions and marketing director.“In this way,we hope toensure our military family is ‘armed’ with the bloodproducts needed for those who are ill or injured.”

Now through Sept. 30, the campaign will be de-ployed at 23 donor centers on Army, Navy,Air Forceand Marine Corps installations worldwide.

“A single blood donation to the military bloodprogram has the potential to save up to three lives,”said Air Force Col. Richard H. McBride,ASBP director.“That can make a huge difference, especially sincedonations tend to decrease during the summer.”

McBride noted that donations sometimes slowdown this time of year because the military bloodprogram’s eligible donors are on vacation.Althoughdonors get their well-deserved summer time off, headded, the need for blood donations is ongoing.

“I know we are all busy preparing ourselves andour families for summer vacations, but I hope thatwe can all find time in our schedules to stop by anddonate a few drops of lifesaving blood,” said MarineCorps ChiefWarrant Officer 2 Jesse G.Porter,pay offi-cer in charge of the command support branch of the

Personnel Administration Center for Marine CorpsBase Camp Pendleton,Calif.

Rose Lori Briggs, an avid blood donor at the Rob-ertson Blood Center at Fort Hood,Texas, said that asa girl,she sometimes would go with her father whenhe donated blood.“I would watch as the blood filledthe bag,amazed that it would go on to save a strang-er’s life,” she said.“I donate to carry on my father’sdedication to the value of this selfless act.”

Briggs is a year-round donor and like her father,she said she doesn’t let summer schedules get in theway of saving lives.

“[My father] donated every eight weeks despitethe busy summer season or vacations, and I try todo the same,”Briggs said.“Luckily, the ASBP makes iteasy to fit donating into my schedule with walk-inappointments.”

Blood collected by the ABSP is collected by themilitary, for the military.This means that all blood,platelet and plasma donations collected by the mili-tary blood program directly support ill or injuredservice members, veterans and their families world-wide.

“While I was growing up, my father was a greatexample. He went out of his way to find blood do-nor centers and frequently donated,” Porter said.“Ultimately, whether donating blood is a civic duty— such as voting — or a nice thing to do,by simplyenduring a minor needle stick, a life can potentiallybe saved.That fact is motivation.”

ASBP, located atby Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, collects blood on military installa-tions to benefit military hospitals, deployed service members and militaryfamilies around the world.

Summer blood donation campaign kicked off July 1

About the Armed Services Blood ProgramThe ASBP supplies blood and blood products for 1.3 million service members and their families

across the nation and around the globe every year. Blood must be available for routine militarymedical treatment facility operations, as well as contingency operations.

Since the ASBP’s inception more than 60 years ago, more than 1.5 million units of blood havebeen provided to treat battlefield illnesses and injuries. In addition to providing blood in combatsituations for those in critical need, the ASBP also supports the peacetime needs of militarypersonnel and their families. Blood must be available to military hospitals for scheduled andemergency procedures.

Blood and blood products are used for patients of all ages for many reasons — from cancerpatients to those with battlefield injuries, military members and their families depend on blooddonors every day.

Your donation can save:• A service member injured in action• A child with cancer• A family member in need of heart surgery

This simple act means more than you will ever know to those who need it. The actual donation onlytakes about 10 minutes and the entire process takes about 45 minutes to one hour.

Donors can:• Save up to three lives with a single donation!• Give blood every eight weeks or give platelets up to 24 times per year.• Helps fellow service members when they need it most

— Continued from page 4around the world.They came back together in 2000 whileAntone was stationed at Langley Air Force Base, and An-thony attended ROTC at nearby Norfolk State University.

“Just knowing your twin brother is only a few miles awayis a great feeling,” said Anthony, who was a petty officersecond class before receiving his commission through anenlisted commissioning program.“We could get togetherwith each other’s families more often.”

Antone said he and his brother would meet each weekfor lunch and talk about their lives and their services.

AfterAnthony completed the school and earned his com-mission,Antone was on hand to be part of a time-honoredmilitary officer tradition: the first salute.

“I was a bit nervous, but it was so good to have my twinbrother give the first salute upon my commissioning, and Ipassed him the traditional silver dollar,”Anthony said.“Navytradition states you have to buy your first salute and thenearn every salute thereafter through your performance bygaining the respect of your subordinates.”

Although he’s a little older and higher ranking in the mil-itary,Anthony said,his brother has always been his mentor.

“Throughout our 20 years of service, we’ve discussedleadership, guidance and mentorship of leading airmenand Sailors in every situation,” said Anthony. “My brotherhas always given me the confidence and strength to grow,develop and advance as an enlisted Sailor and officer.”

Both brothers have carried their love for the servicesto their families. Each brother has three sons of his own,and their eldest sons have chosen careers as soldiers inthe Army.

“The Air Force and Navy [have] done great things for meand my brother with traveling the planet, advanced edu-cation and supporting our families,” Anthony said. “Beingable to reenlist him shows me he will continue to reap thebenefits of being an airman while making the Air Force abetter institution, because of his service and leadership. Itis always a privilege to administer the oath, but it is extraspecial when it is your brother.”

STORY BY MCSN KAYLA KINGPHOTOS BY MC2ANTONIO P. TURRETTO RAMOSNAS Oceana Public Affairs

NAS Oceana galley held a garnish training classfor culinary specialists throughout the Mid-Atlan-tic Region June 26.

More than 20 culinary specialists from Oceana,Dam Neck Annex, Joint Expeditionary Base LittleCreek and Naval Station Norfolk galleys came tolearn more techniques on garnishing fruits andvegetables.

Garnishing fruits and vegetables is an embellish-ing technique that many culinary specialists useto enhance their galleys in a more decorative wayand show other Sailors the many arts they can cre-ate.

“Since our budget is low, wehave people volunteer tocome out, who love teachingand doing their job, to trainour culinary specialists,” saidChief Warrant Officer 3 Alei-thia Castro, NAS Oceana’sfood service officer.

Retired Master Chief CulinarySpecialist (CS) David Miranda andCSC (SW) Doug Grimley, attached to Naval Medi-cal Center Portsmouth but currently TAD to NASOceana Branch Health Clinic, volunteered to trainambitious culinary specialists to improve the pre-sentation of their work by decorating plates, ser-vice lines, events and more.

“They [Miranda and Grimley] like to give backto the CSes,” said Castro.“They really enjoy theirjobs and we appreciate everything that they do.”

“This is their [culinary specialists] chance toshine, to do something out of the ordinary thatmaybe somebody else can’t do,” said Grimley.“When they go back to their commands, they cantake this [garnishing] back and show their com-mands what they can do. These are the thingsthat help with evaluations and promotions, to putthem in the limelight.”

“They are not just cooks, they are culinary spe-cialists, and they should live up to their name andshow what they can do for the Navy,”Grimley con-tinued.

During the training, Miranda and Grimleyshowed the CSes how to make flowers, birds,trees and other decorative objects out of fruitsand vegetables.They used fresh produce, includ-ing green and yellow peppers,potatoes, tomatoes,cantaloupe, green apples, pineapples, radish, car-rots, watermelons, honeydew, and green onions.They also had numerous cutting materials thatMiranda and Grimley taught how to safely use intheir preparations.

Miranda even demonstrated on how to make apalm tree on an island with a swan using apples,carrots, cabbage, grapes and cantaloupe.

“ I did eight dinners on the [USS] CarlVinson for some very high-rank-

ing people, and it showedme how upscale you can getwith garnishing,” said CSSN

Andrew Meadows, attached toStrike Fighter Squadron (VFA)

8 1 . “It really opened my eyes, andg a r n i s h - ing fruits and vegetables has beenon my to-do list for a long time.

They [instructors] taught us the bare minimumat ‘A’ school, so this is the first hands-on trainingthat I have received for garnishing. I’m hoping toput on a good show and learn how to be a goodculinary specialist,” said Meadows

“Since I have gotten here, I have tried to holdsome kind of training once a month for all the cu-linary specialists in our region and the CSes thatwork at the barracks to help improve their skillsand have as much knowledge as they can whenadvancement exams come around,”said Castro.

Previous trainings have included cake cuttingand making different kinds of soup.The training atthe Oceana galley is open to any culinary special-ist who wants to improve their skills. For more in-formation,contact ChiefWarrant Officer 3AleithiaCastro at 433-2386.

From Chief of Naval Operations Pub-lic Affairs

FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn. (NNS — Friends,family and colleagues gathered June 29 inthe small town of Fayetteville,Tenn. to cel-ebrate the life of and pay final respects tothe 24th Chief of Naval Operations (CNO)Adm. Frank B. Kelso II.

The full military honors funeral tookplace in Kelso’s hometown at the FirstUnited Methodist Church where Kelsoattended services and was integrated asa pillar of faith and devotion among thecongregation. Less than a mile from thechurch, Kelso was laid to rest at the RoseHill Cemetery in his family plot in the com-pany of his beloved relatives.

Long time friend of Kelso and formernaval officer of 27 years, Chaplain BillPerry helped preside over Kelso’s service.Perry had a close spiritual relationship andfriendship with Kelso who he said com-mitted his life to decency, respect and in-tegrity.Perry said that in life after the Navy,Kelso was devoted to helping spread theword of God.

“The last time I felt like this is when Iburied and did this service for my mother,”Perry said as he gripped the pulpit to main-tain his composure, suffering from the lossof his friend.

“Today is a day we celebrate a life welllived and then we mourn heavily for our-selves,” Perry said. “For the Kelso family,you have to know not only is there a painwithin this church and over in the over-flow room, but there is pain throughoutthe naval community because folks whoknew him and worked with him— everyperson here — knows that if you knewAd-

miral Kelso, then you respected him, andyou liked him,and if you were around himenough, you grew to love him.”

More than 300 people who loved and re-spected Kelso were in attendance for thefuneral service. Current CNO Adm. Jona-than Greenert was among them.

“Admiral Frank Kelso’s bold leadershipand innovative thinking guided the Navythrough times of war and significant draw-down at the end of the Cold War,” saidGreenert of the late Kelso.

“It was his strength of character andsure-fire integrity that ensured his successas a former CNO and to a higher degree so-lidified the formidable legacy of a great lifethat Admiral Frank Kelso leaves behind.”

Kelso, 79, had a long and successful ca-reer in the U.S. Navy and was known forhis intelligence, strong character and inno-vative thinking.

He was the third of three submariners ina row who served as CNO in the 1980s and1990s.As CNO,he led the Navy in a periodof significant drawdown of U.S. naval forc-es following the Cold War.He also oversawthe introduction of new platforms andsystems that improved capabilities, includ-ing precision strike operations.The nationpersistently called on the naval capabilitiesthroughout his tour, starting with Opera-tion Desert Storm.

As CNO, he also oversaw revolution-ary changes within the OPNAV staff andprofoundly changed the means by whichthe Navy processed and made decisions.In keeping with joint staff practices, hechanged “OP” codes to “N” codes, and thestaff was reorganized to align with a “Na-poleonic” arrangement used by both theArmy and the joint staff. In a period of

dramatic change, he helped to transformnot merely the organization, but also theprocesses by which information could beshared and considered.He is credited withdramatically changing the means by whichmore informed decisions could be madeby the Navy.

“The ability to cut against the grain andfind new and creative solutions for theNavy are what setAdmiral Kelso apart fromhis peers,” said Greenert.“It was an honorto have served with him and we are a bet-ter Navy due to his leadership and faithfulcommitment to our Sailors, civilians andtheir families.”

As CNO at the time of the now infamousTailhook Convention in 1991 during whichnumerous incidents of sexual assault andharassment were found to have occurred,Kelso found himself at the forefront of anew horizon for the treatment of womenin the military.

Tailhook was a turbulent event for theentire naval department, and precipitatedsupport in widening of opportunities forwomen in the service. Kelso, a proponentof allowing women to serve in expandedroles, embraced the integration.

Upon selection for flag rank,Adm. Kelsoserved as director, Strategic Submarine

Division, Office of the Chief of Naval Op-erations, and then was assigned as direc-tor, Office of Program Appraisal, Office ofthe Secretary of the Navy. On Feb. 8, 1985,Kelso became commander, 6th Fleet andNATO commander, Naval Striking Forceand Support Forces Southern Europe. OnJune 30, 1986, Kelso was promoted toadmiral and assumed the duties of com-mander in chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Kelsobecame Supreme Allied Commander Atlan-tic and Commander in Chief, U.S. AtlanticCommand on Nov. 22, 1988. He becamethe Navy’s 24th Chief of Naval Operationson June 29, 1990.

Kelso has been awarded the DefenseDistinguished Service Medal, the Navy Dis-tinguished Service Medal (three awards),Legion of Merit (four awards), Meritori-ous Service, Navy and Marine Corps Com-mendation and Navy and Marine CorpsAchievement medals.

Kelso eventually returned to live in Fay-etteville,Tenn., in 2003,a decade after retir-ing from the Navy.He remained there untilhis death on June 23, 2013.

Kelso is survived by his second wife,Georgeanna, his four children and numer-ous grandchildren. Landess McCown, hisfirst wife of 56 years, passed away in 2012.

— Continued from page 1Miranda in an email after the ceremony. “Essentially, thishelps us in the long run to save money on maintenanceand total cost over the lifespan of the facility.”

“Most people, when they think of LEED Silver, the firstthat pops into their head isn’t a maintenance hangar … It’sa little bit of an opportunity or a challenge when we take aproject like a hangar and try to make sure it fits the mold ofa LEED Silver building,which is a pretty high standard,”saidDamian Seitz,Clark Nexsen architect.

Seitz explained the LEED rating system was originally de-signed for office buildings.

One of the biggest challenges was making the large han-gar bay that accommodates the C-40s flown by the“Globe-masters”an energy-efficient area.

“We had to focus a lot on the administrative portion ofthe hangar, making it extra tight, extra energy-efficient toalmost overcome some of the other portions of the build-ing,”said Seitz.

Some of the “green” technology used on the administra-tive side of the building included a continuous insulationlayer that performs two to three times better than the stan-dard and helps with improved heat transfer in and out ofthe building and high-efficiency gas boilers and a new light-ing system — all of which has contributed to achieving anearly 30 percent energy reduction and saving money forthe Navy,according to Seitz.

“Every penny we save here, that’s money that can buyfuel for the mission,”said Brandt.

The 30 percent cost savings is based on the average life

of the building and Hangar 56 is expected to last about 50years.

Seitz also explained how 30 percent of the constructionmaterials used came from recycled materials and “95 per-cent of what left the site here,while the building was beingconstructed, was diverted from a landfill and is going ontobe refurbished.”Like Brandt, Seitz also emphasized the sav-ings to the natural resources.

With the building located on the flightline,a unique con-struction challenge to earning the certification was pre-venting any standing water around the building.“We wantto keep our pilots safe, our equipment safe and not attractbirds,”explained Katie Shannon,a civil engineer with ClarkNexsen.

Because of the soil quality at the building site, Shannonexplained they over-excavated the soil and brought in cleanfill, resulted in a 39 percent reduction in storm water thatexceeded the LEED requirement of 25 percent.

Although Hangar 56 was officially opened in May 2012,it took several months afterwards to compile all the neces-sary documentation for the certification,according to Seitz.For each project being submitted, there are two focuses, adesign and a construction submittal,with the constructionpiece actually the bulk of the submittal,he explained.Oncethe project is submitted to the USGBC for review, there arenormally follow-up questions and requests for additionaldocumentation.

Gold Star Family (GSF) designated park-ing signs were recently placed outside hightraffic facilities aboard Naval Station Nor-folk (NAVSTA).

GSF are families of those who died serv-ing in the U.S.Armed Forces and identifiedby a gold star lapelbutton.

The gold star lapelbutton or gold starpin is distributedaccording to strictDepartment of De-fense guidelines forservice memberswho have lost theirlives in conflict orin support of cer-tain military opera-tions. By law, a goldstar lapel buttonwas to be furnishedwithout cost, to thewidow and to eachof the parents andthe next of kin ofthe fallen warrior.

In effort to sup-port, a CommanderNavy InstallationsCommand (CNIC)directive was re-leased to provideguidance in imple-menting designatedparking spaces andsignage. The intentof the directive isto honor and rec-ognize the sacrificeof family members who have lost a lovedone in military service,to educate the Navycommunity, and to bring awareness to thegeneral public.

As part of the initiative, NAVSTA person-nel posted signs on designated parkingspaces on and off base.The placement ofparking signs was spearheaded by Gary

Evans,special operations department head.“The signs were mostly posted in park-

ing areas of facilities with high traffic suchas the commissary, Navy Exchange and theFleet and Family Support Center to namea few,” said Evans.“The signs will help thefamilies to easily access the facilities.”

Aside from the placement of parkingspaces and signage, the directive also im-poses awareness and significance of thegold star emblem.

“The parking signs signify that we donot forget our promise to take care of the

loved ones ourfallen warriors leftbehind,” said Evans.“Furthermore, itwill increase under-standing of thosewho are not awareof the immensityof the gold star’smeaning.”

In a PresidentialProclamation Sept.28, 2012, PresidentBarack Obama said,“They are parentswho face the lossof a child, spouseswho carry an emp-tiness that cannotbe filled, childrenwho know sorrowthat defies com-prehension. Thegrief they hold intheir hearts is agrief most cannotfully know. But asfellow Americans,we must lend ourstrength to thosefamilies who havegiven so much forour country. Theirburdens are ones

that no one should have to bear alone, andit is up to all of us to live our lives in a wayworthy of their sacrifice,”

The president proclaimed the 30th dayof September to be remembered as GoldStar Mother’s and Family’s Day in sympathyand respect for the nation’s gold star moth-ers and families.

— Continued from page 3will no longer be any mourning,or crying,or pain;the firstthings have passed away.And he who sits on the thronesaid, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’ And he said,‘Write, for these words are faithful and true.’”

If you’re like me, you get discouraged.You want to giveup at times. You wonder if your life is making even theslightest difference where you are or where you havebeen. Or maybe, for you, it’s not merely discouragement.Maybe it’s illness (yours or a loved one’s), maybe it’s fi-nancial struggle, maybe it’s a marital or relational issue ofsome kind. Regardless of what it may be, chances are, youcan find yourself relating closely to the “wretched of theearth”described in the quote above and on most days aresimply trying to “climb to the light”…wherever that maybe.

And there’s the rub; what “light” are you climbing to?What do you reach for when you begin to fall? When yourmarriage is troubled? When your relationship with yourchildren is falling apart? When your finances are in peril?To be sure,God often does put people,activities,and evenitems in our lives to help us cope when times get tough.But ultimately, the reality of Revelation 21:1-5 is what hewants us to look to; to that day when God will wipe awayevery tear and will create a new home (new heaven andearth) for us to live in free from pain.

That is the “sun will rise” promise that he gives us andwants us to cling to as we deal with the difficulty we facefrom day to day.

From Navy and Marine Corps Public Health CenterPublic Affairs

The Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center’s(NMCPHC) at Portsmouth announced a targeted outreachinitiative for myasthenia gravis patients and providers toraise awareness about a class of drugs that can exacerbatethe chronic condition June 26.

The goals of NMCPHC’s direct outreach to patients andproviders is three-fold: to raise awareness of the medicalcomplications for myasthenia gravis patients; to encour-age patients to take control of their health as part of NavyMedicine’s Medical Home Port initiative; and to ultimatelyimprove clinical outcomes for patients and indirectly re-duce spending costs.

Myasthenia gravis is a rare autoimmune disorder with noknown cure that causes muscle weakness and fatigue.Anestimated 400 Sailors,Marines and other beneficiaries werediagnosed with the condition between 2006 and 2012.

“We want to empower Sailors, Marines and their fami-

Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Centerdevelops outreach for patients with rare disease

lies in managing their health by providing informationand resources to make informed decisions.We believe thisempowerment can positively affect the quality of life andimprove care delivered in our military treatment facilities,”said Capt. Paul Rockswold, NMCPHC Health Analysis de-partment head and Family and Preventive Medicine physi-cian.

A little over two years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-ministration (FDA) issued a black box warning label indi-cating that fluoroquinolone medications, a class of com-monly prescribed antibiotics, may exacerbate myastheniagravis symptoms. In response, NMCPHC’s Health Analysis(HA) department leveraged clinical health data analysis todesign and launch a targeted outreach initiative notifyingmyasthenia gravis patients and their providers of the FDAsafety warning.

HA identified patients and providers through their di-rect access to the most comprehensive clinical databasesin the Military Health System (MHS). HA’s team of expertepidemiologists analyzed clinical health data and discov-ered that patients with myasthenia gravis were still takingfluoroquinolone medications despite the black box warn-ing, spurring the outreach initiative.

Outreach included a letter to patients detailing the risksassociated with fluoroquinolone antibiotics and a walletcard for patients to take to appointments to help supportdirect communication with their health care provider.Letters were also sent to health care providers caring formyasthenia gravis patients, alerting them to the black boxwarning and the wave of patient outreach being conduct-ed. This two-pronged approach ensured that myastheniagravis patients and their providers within the MHS re-ceived the message to avoid fluoroquinolone medications,improving clinical outcomes and reducing medical com-plications.

Copies of the letters and the wallet card are available athttp://www.med.navy.mil/sites/nmcphc/health-analysis/.

BY LEONARD LANIERAssistant Curator, Museum of the Albemarle

Elizabeth City, N.C. — With the nation commemorat-ing the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg thisweek, the Museum of the Albemarle has something forthose unable to attend the ceremonies in Pennsylvania.The museum’s sesquicentennial exhibit on the Civil War,“Under Both Flags:The CivilWar in theAlbemarle,”has sev-eral artifacts connected to the biggest battle ever foughtin North America.

Although the battle occurred far from the “Old NorthState,” local men played a key role in Gettysburg, probablynone more famous than James Johnston Pettigrew. Petti-grew, who grew up at Bonarva Plantation on the shoresof Lake Phelps in Tyrrell County, led the North Carolinatroops that participated in Robert E. Lee’s last great at-tempt to break the Union lines on July 3,1863 — Pickett’sCharge. Visitors to the museum can see a pistol case thatbelonged to Pettigrew.

Many local soldiers participated in Pickett’s Chargealongside Pettigrew. Isaac Byrum of Ryland was one suchperson. During the attack, Byrum suffered a serious leg

wound.Left for dead on the battlefield by his Confederatecompatriots, Union soldiers took him to a hospital wherea surgeon removed his left leg below the knee. Despite hisdisability, Byrum returned to Chowan County and oper-ated a successful lumber business for more than 50 years.The Museum of the Albemarle displays the wooden legthat Byrum wore the rest of his life.

While Pettigrew and Byrum endured the withering fireof federal guns, the cavalry of both armies clashed to theeast of Gettysburg. After the battle, a Union trooper of the5th Michigan Cavalry, Lancaster Gorton, scoured the fieldin search of souvenirs. On the body of a dead Confeder-ate officer, he found a watch inscribed “M. I.Tobias & Co.,Liverpool.”Gorton took the watch back home to Michiganthinking he now owned a fine English pocket watch. Inactuality, the treasured souvenir was a fake,made by Swisswatchmakers to look like an English timepiece. Gorton’sgrandson donated the item to the museum in 1967.

Visitors can view these and many other Civil War arti-facts at the Museum of the Albemarle,a regional branch ofthe North Carolina Museum of History.

The museum is located at 501 S. Water St., ElizabethCity,N.C.For more information,call (252)335-1453 or visitwww.museumofthealbemarle.com

The 3rd annual T.G.I. Fitness Challenge was held on Na-val Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk parade grounds, in partner-ship with Morale,Welfare and Recreation (MWR) June 21.

The goal of the event was to raise physical fitness aware-ness and to provide an outlet for organized team buildingin an event geared toward Sailors and commands.

“Part of the Navy’s vision is focused on physical fitness,”said Senior Chief Master-at-Arms Marcus C. Blackwell, whorepresented USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72).“That’s whywe decided to get a team together and come out to thisevent to help build camaraderie and a good team environ-ment.”

The competition consisted of eight teams of 15 Sailorswho competed in various events, including aT-drill race,re-lay race, obstacle course, tug-of-war and sandbell stacking,where teams stacked bags of sand with escalating weights.

“It’s all about having a good time and getting out hereto meet new people,” said Anthony Benning, Naval StationNorfolk fitness coordinator for MWR.“It provides fun waysto make physical training a little more interactive.”

Throughout the event, commands competed for first,second and third place trophies, as well as a spirit awardthat was given to the most spirited team.

“Events like these remind Sailors that fitness can be fun,”said Benning.“It doesn’t have to be just push-ups and sit-ups.”

When the competition was over, Lincoln’s team placedfirst, USS Iwo Jima’s (LHD 7) team took second and Com-mander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic’s team came in third.The Fleet Weather Center Strike Group Oceanographerteam won the spirit award.
