Citizens and community leaders honored Pfc.Francis Wills, a local soldier who went missingwhile serving inVietnam, at a Sept. 25 ceremony atthe Charles County Government Building. Feelingsof joy, pride, grief and sorrow intermingled amongthe large crowd that gathered, which included sev-eral members of Wills' family. A long list of digni-taries and citizens paid tribute to Wills, who wentmissing during a 1966 patrol in Phy Yen Province.

"Today, ladies and gentlemen, we are here tohonor all of our veterans, but particularly, our vet-erans of theVietnam era," said Candice Quinn Kel-ly, president of the Charles County Board of Com-missioners. "In addition, we are here to take sometime to reflect on those who were POWs. And mostimportantly today, we are here to bring home Fran-cis DeSales Wills. He lived only 22 years, ladies andgentlemen, and it's taken us almost 50 years tobring his spirit home. And so for his family today,we wrap our arms around you."

Representatives of Senators Ben Cardin andBarbara Mikulski and Congressman Steny Hoyerrecognized theWills family by presenting them witha flag flown over the U.S. Capitol and a certificate ofCongressional recognition.

Delegate Peter Murphy, chair of the CharlesCounty Delegation, spoke about how proud he isof Charles County for flying the POW flag. "CharlesCounty is the first in Maryland willing to step outand fly this [POW] flag every day of the year," hesaid.

Like all of the speakers, Murphy praised theJames Shekleton, member of Rolling ThunderMaryland Chapter One, for organizing the ceremo-ny in honor of Wills. Murphy presented Shekletonwith an official citation from the Maryland GeneralAssembly in recognition of that effort.

Murphy also presented Wills' relatives with aMaryland General Assembly citation. "Be it hereby

known to all, that sincerest sympathy is extendedto the family of Francis DeSalesWills. His patriotismis exemplified by his willingness to voluntarily serveduring theVietnamWar. As the only MIA Army sol-dier from Charles County, he will not be forgotten."

Have you spoken with three people about whatthe Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers(SHPE) is doing at Naval Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren, in our local communities, and nation-wide?

If you have, you are one of the scores of Sailorsand civilians attending the Hispanic Heritage Ob-servance at the Aegis Training and Readiness Cen-ter (ATRC) auditorium Sept. 11 who responded toSHPE Chief Executive Officer Pilar Montoya's callto "tell three people about what it is that we do".

Montoya joined Navy leaders - including NavalSurface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSW-CDD) Commander Capt. Michael Smith, NavalSupport Activity South Potomac (NSASP) ExecutiveOfficer Cmdr. Elvis Mikel, and ATRC CommandingOfficer Capt. Ian Hall - to celebrate Hispanic Her-itage Month, which is being observed through Oct.15.

With a national theme of "Diversity United,Building America's Future Today," the observancecelebrates the histories, cultures and contributionsof Americans who trace their roots to Spain, Mexi-

co, the Caribbean and Central and South America."This year's national theme mirrors the Navy's

commitment to building and valuing a culture ofdiversity," said Capt. Smith. "Diversity is a strategicimperative for the U.S. Navy and it is critical to our

readiness and mission accomplishment. At theNaval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division,we understand that it takes a diverse, multi-talent-ed workforce working together to meet the needsof today's warfighters and provide innovate solu-tions for the demands facing our future Fleet. Thereis no question that our ability to meet our missiongoals depends on our talent base, which is madestronger because of the capabilities of our engi-neers, scientists and business professionals of His-panic descent."

"Just as they serve in the armed forces, HispanicAmericans have excelled in every walk of life andhave contributed to our country as political leaders,community leaders, business leaders, in educationand civil rights," said Cmdr. Mikel. "Today, on ournation's highest court, a Hispanic American sits asone of the nine justices on the Supreme Court. Pres.Obama has said the story of the Hispanic commu-nity is the same as America - it's part of our story.As we celebrate the traditions and values that de-fine our national culture and character, they repre-sent a strong thread that is woven throughout thefabric of America."

Under Montoya's leadership, SHPE haslaunched innovative national programs to ensure

Navy leaders praised 117 Naval SurfaceWarfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSW-CDD) awardees for their achievements atthe annual Academic Recognition Cere-mony held for the first time at the Univer-sity of Mary Washington Dahlgren cam-pus on Sept. 24.

"Your expertise and knowledge is para-mount for America's freedom," keynotespeaker, Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA)Command Master Chief Evelyn Banks toldscientists, engineers and business leaderswho served as adjunct professors at uni-versities and completed academic mile-stones from professional certifications toassociate's, bachelor's, master's and doc-toral degrees. "We need you to keep doingwhat you're doing."

"The graduates we honor today areproofthatourcommitmenttotheacadem-ic development of our workforce is payingoff for both our graduates and NSWCDahlgren Division," said NSWCDD Com-mander Capt. Michael Smith. "With theirgoals met, they will be better equipped tomeet the scientific, technological and man-agement challenges ahead."

The honorees and their family andfriends listened as the NAVSEA Com-mand Master Chief recited a litany of Pres.Abraham Lincoln's failures prior to hissuccessful 1860 election as President ofthe United States.

Lincoln's "actions spoke louder thanwords," she said, adding that he was theonly president with a patent.

"I know what it's like to balance workand the challenges our economy brings tous," said Banks, who is pursuing a doctoraldegree in organizational leadership.

"You've given me hope and the proof to sayit can be done. Thank you for letting youractions speak louder than your words."

NSWC Dahlgren employees are bal-ancing their family, work and academiccommitments with the help of programssuch as the Academic Development andProfessional Certification Incentive Pro-gram that provides employees a limitedamount of time on the clock to pursue ac-ademic training.

Maintaining a highly skilled workforceis critical to NSWCDD - the Navy's leadingwarfare system architect and systems en-gineer, recognized as the technical leaderin delivering innovative, affordable and ef-fective solutions for the Navy, Joint forces,

and the nation."We recognize the benefits of partnering

with our employees to invest in their educa-tion in a way that will enable them to meetthe ever-increasing demands of rapid tech-nological change," said Capt. Smith. "Toachievethiswehavedevelopedastrongpro-gram to support intellectual development."

In an economy where many employersare reducing or eliminating support foremployees to pursue advanced education,NSWC Dahlgren Division remains com-mitted to supporting education opportu-nities for the workforce and welcomes theopportunity to recognize employees whohave reached an academic milestone eachSeptember at this annual event.

Naval District Washington hosts regional Youth Council Summit

A total of 57 teens from youth centers and Student to Student (S2S) groups around the region (NSA Annapolis, NSA South Potomac, NAS Pax River, NSABethesda, Fort Detrick, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, North Point High School and Huntingtown High School) participated in the Naval District WashingtonYouth Council Summit, held at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, Md. on Sept 22-23. School Liaison Officers and Youth Directors devised the train-ing to educate and inspire teens about youth sponsorship. Teens attended sessions on Outreach, Newcomer Orientation, and Peer to Peer and then de-veloped a comprehensive local action plan which they presented to the group. A session on the Interstate Compact and Exceptional Family Member Pro-gram (EFMP) was provided for adult Children and Youth Programs (CYP) and school staff in attendance. Brent Edwards from Commander Navy Installa-tion Command (CNIC) was the opening speaker and discussed the Navy Teen Council, camp opportunities for teens and the future of youth program-ming. The event was funded by Operation Military Kids - Maryland (OMK).

Escape Planning* According to an NFPA survey, only one-

third of Americans have both developedand practiced a home fire escape plan.

* Almost three-quarters of Americans dohave an escape plan; however, less than halfactually practiced it.

* One-third of Americans householdswho made and estimate they thought theywould have at least six minutes before a firein their home would become life threaten-ing. The time available is often less. Andonly 8 percent said their first thought onhearing a smoke alarm would be to get out!

* Each department or division is respon-sible for establishing their fire evacuationplan. In addition, in accordance with theNDWINSTR 11320.10E, an annual evacua-tion drill is required for each building.

* If you need assistance with your plan,please contact the Fire Prevention Division.

Smoke Alarms* Install smoke alarms in every bedroom,

outside each separate sleeping area and onevery level of the home, including the base-ment. Interconnect all smoke alarmsthroughout the home. When one sounds,they all sound.

* Test alarms at least monthly by pushingthe test button and be sure to replace thebatteries in these devices at least one a year.

* Be sure to replace smoke alarms every10 years in accordance with the manufac-ture's recommendations.

* Ninety-six percent of all homes have atleast one smoke alarm, according to a 2010

telephone survey. Overall, three-quarters ofall U.S. homes have at least one workingsmoke alarm

* Almost two-thirds of reported homefire deaths resulted from fires in homes withno smoke alarms or no working smokealarms.

* Almost two-thirds of home fire deathsin 2005-2009 resulted from fires in homeswith no smoke alarms or no working smokealarms.

* Working smoke alarms improve yourchances of surviving a fire in your home by50 percent and are an inexpensive device toensure you and your family's safety.

* Smoke alarms that include a record-able voice announcement in addition to theusual alarm sound, may be helpful in wak-ing children through the use of a familiarvoice.

* Smoke alarms are available for peoplewho are deaf or hard of hearing. These de-vices use strobe lights.Vibration devices canbe added to these alarms

* Smoke alarms are an important part ofa home fire escape plan.

Cooking* Cooking has been the leading cause of

reported home fires and home fire injuriessince 1990. Unattended cooking was by farthe leading cause of these fires; two-thirdsof home cooking fires began with ignition ofcooking materials, including food, cookingoil, fat or grease.

* Cooking caused two of every five re-ported home fires, roughly one of every sev-en home fire deaths, and two of every fivehome fire injuries, and 11 percent of directproperty damage from home fires in 2010.

* Ranges accounted for the 58 percent ofhome cooking fire incidents. Ovens ac-counted for 16 percent.

* Children under five face a higher risk ofnon-fire burns associated with cookingthan being burned in a cooking fire.

Smoking Materials* In 2010, smoking materials started and

estimated 17,500 home structure fires, re-sulting in 540 deaths, 1,320 injuries and$535 million in direct property damage.Smoking materials are the leading cause ofhome fire deaths.

* Sleep was a factor in two of every fivehome smoking material fire deaths. Possi-ble alcohol impairment was reported in onequarter of these deaths.

* In recent years, Canada and the UnitedStates have required that all cigarettes soldmust be "fire safe," that is have reduced ig-nition strength and less likely to start fires.

* If you have smokers or you are a smok-er, please be sure to have

large deep receptacles to extinguish yousmoking material and ensure they are com-pletely out before going to bed.

* If you smoke at work, please rememberto follow the NDW Smoking Policy and usethe approved smoking areas only.

Electrical* Half of home electrical fires involved

electrical distribution or lighting equip-ment. Other leading types of equipmentwere washer or dryer, fan, portable or sta-tionary space heater, air conditioningequipment, water heater and range.

* In 2010, electrical failures or malfunc-tions were factors in an estimated 46,500home structure fires resulting in 420 deaths,1,520 injuries and $1.5 billion in propertydamage.

* The use of extension cords for perma-nent wiring is prohibited in accordancewith the NDWINSTR 11320.10E.

Candles* On average, there are 35 home candle

fires reported per day.* More than one-third of these fires start-

ed in the bedroom.* More than half of all candle fires start

when things that can burn are too close tothe candle.

* In 2010, candles caused 3 percent ofhome fires, 4 percent of home fire deaths, 6percent of home fire injuries and 5 percentof direct property damage from home fires.

* As a reminder, the use of candles atwork is prohibited in accordance with theNDWINSTR 11320.10E.

Home Fire Sprinklers* Automatic fire sprinkler systems cut

the risk of dying in a home fire by about 83percent.

* Home fire sprinklers can contain andmay even extinguish a fire in less time thanit would take the fire department to arriveon the scene.

* Sprinklers are highly effective becausethey react so quickly in a fire. They reducethe risk of death or injury from a fire be-cause they dramatically reduce the heat,flames and smoke produced, allowing peo-ple time to evacuate the home.

The Naval District Washington Fire &Emergency Services would like to remindeveryone that by following these simple butvital tips, the chances of you or your familyexperiencing a home or workplace fire canbe greatly reduced. If you have any ques-tions regarding Fire/Life Safety either atwork or at home or need to schedule yourAnnual Evacuation drill please contact yourinstallation Fire Prevention Division.

that more Hispanics will lead in technologicalsolutions in the future. She makes it a priorityto secure funding and ensure Hispanic stu-dent needs are met as it relates to furtheringtheir knowledge in science, technology, engi-neering and math (STEM).

"We always in America want to move upbut it's not just about you getting there andachieving," said Montoya. "It's about liftingthose that are coming after you. We ask thatyou support the efforts that are taking placehere. One of the big efforts is mentoring—weknow that role models really make a differ-ence in people's lives."

SHPE's vision is a world where Hispanics arehighlyvaluedandinfluentialastheleadinginno-vators,scientists,mathematiciansandengineers.

"Look to yourself and see how you mightbe able to help us in mentoring young mindsthat have a tremendous capacity to do a lot ofthe cool stuff you are doing in science andtechnology," said Montoya. "We'll begin to in-crease awareness of the phenomenal impactthat this organization has but we need you tomentor and we need you to reach out. Ifyou're in an area where you can touch a child,we need you to do so.We can get to our vision

but we need help to get to that point."NSWCDD engineers established the

NSASP SHPE chapter to increase the profes-sional opportunities available to engineersserving onboard NSFs Dahlgren and IndianHead.The chapter joins similar organizations,such as the Hispanic Association of Dahlgren,but is focused on providing professional as-sistance and mentoring to current and futurescientists and engineers.

"We are all aligning at SHPE to make surewe empower the Hispanic community to re-alize their potential," said Montoya. "We areencouraging elementary and high school stu-dents to fulfill their potential through STEMawareness and support so they become partof that network of solutions—that network ofcreative minds that move this country to be-ing a leader in innovation."

In his 2011 National Hispanic HeritageMonth Presidential Proclamation, Pres.Barack Obama noted, "the future of Americais inextricably linked to the future of our His-panic community. Our country thrives on thediversity and ingenuity of all our people, andour ability to out innovate, out-educate, andout-build the rest of the world will dependgreatly on the success of Hispanics."

MontoyabelievesthatSHPEinitiatives—in-cludingtheNSASPchapter'splanstoengageinSTEM outreach events and science fairs–willgreatly impact that STEM success.

"We're talking about the future of thiscountry—the young kids that really need tobe inspired, that need to be encouraged, theyneed to believe that somebody believes inthem, that they can graduate from HS andthat they have the capacity to do that and toultimately enter a university," said Montoya."The (SHPE) chapters, the volunteers, coordi-nate a lot of these activities. Many times youhave a child who doesn't know what STEM is,and by the time they're done, they're aware ofour organization and the potential they have."

According to 2010 data from the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau, Hispanics comprise 16.3 percentof the total United States population, or 50.5million people, forming our county's largestracial or ethnic minority. Additionally, it isprojected that by 2050, a quarter of the na-tion's workforce will be Hispanic.

"When you look at the population, the fu-ture, innovation, creativity and your work-force—we need to encourage and inspire in-dividuals from the community to come andbe part of this (SHPE) family," said Montoya."The Hispanic community is growing expo-nentially but the numbers of graduates in en-gineering is not reflective of that growth. Weneed to begin to educate and inspire individ-uals to see science and technology as excitingand fun—and that they're the ones who pro-vide technology for the future."

Today, the Navy's workforce includes

more than 58,000 Hispanic active duty and re-serve Sailors and officers and nearly 15,000Hispanic civilians serve in the Navy totalforce, including four Hispanic flag officers and172 Hispanic master chiefs.

"What we've seen today is an investmentthat we're making in our youth to go helpbuild our future which is very important if wewant to continue to be a world leader," saidCapt. Hall at the event's conclusion. "As ourHispanic population grows, by encouragingelementary, high school and college studentsnow, that will get a greater effect in the future."

NSASP SHPE chapter membership isopen to all, regardless of ethnicity. "SHPE isall-inclusive," said Jessica Delgado, NSWCDDHispanic employment program manager andco-founder of the NSASP SHPE Chapter. "It isnot only for Hispanics, although it has 'His-panic' in the title. I think SHPE will bring goodthings to the bases in Dahlgren and IndianHead, as well as the community."

"We hope to encourage you to be part ofour SHPE family," said Montoya. "It's $5.00 forstudents and $45.00 for professionals and youdon't have to be an engineer or scientist tojoin—you can be an associate member be-cause you believe in our cause."

listed in the U.S. Army. "The Charles Countybranch of the NAACP is proud of Pfc. Fran-cis DeSales Wills," said Janice Wilson, pres-ident of the Charles County ChapterNAACP. "We are proud of his service to hiscountry. to fight for his country, and we'reproud of his service to the Charles Countybranch of the NAACP and the fight he en-dured right here in Charles County. I amhere to talk about one of Charles County'sfinest."

Wilson presented Wills' family membersa resolution honoring him not only for hisservice, but also for his participation in ananti-discrimination sit-in at local establish-ments. "He made unselfish strides to ad-dress issues and problems affectingAfrican-Americans and other racial andethnic minorities. His leadership roles werefurther noted in his service as CharlesCounty's NAACP youth council presidentfrom 1962 to 1964."

The next speaker, Capt. Michael Smith,commander of the Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division, spoke about hisown family's experience of a loved one whowent missing while serving in Vietnam. "Itis indeed my privilege to join you in thisdedication ceremony and particularly tohonor Private First Class Francis Wills andhis family," he said.

"POW/MIA Remembrance Day, ofwhich this flag-raising ceremony is a cele-bration of, has a personal significance tome," said Smith, whose uncle went missingin Vietnam in 1966 after his fighter jet dis-appeared.

It was only last year, said Smith, that asearch team identified the wreckage of hisuncle's F-4. "Not knowing what happenedto my uncle for over 40 years was difficultfor my entire family, as I'm sure it is for yourfamily," Smith told Wills' family.

Smith noted the Department of De-fense's commitment to bring all servicemembers home. "To the family and friendsof Pfc. Wills, and the POWs and MIAs rep-resented here today, I offer sincere appre-ciation for your strength throughout theyears as you have waited for news aboutyour loved ones," he said. "I sincerely hopethat one day soon you will learn their fate,

like I did, so that you too may finally be atpeace."

For Shekleton, the moment was bitter-

sweet. He thanked all the service membersin attendance for their service and for sup-porting the ceremony. "We're here today to

honor Private First Class Francis Wills of the101st Airborne, U.S. Army," he said. "Fran-cis Wills is just one of approximately 1,700men still missing from the Vietnam War,and he is the only one from Charles County.Raising the POW/MIA flag today in honorof Francis Wills shows as a community wewill never forget him, the sacrifices him andhis family has made. Someone said that dy-ing for my country isn't the worst thing thatcan happen. Being forgotten is. So raisingthis flag today shows these men will neverbe forgotten."

Shekleton's voice shook as he paid trib-ute to Wills and his service. Words of en-couragement by his Rolling Thunder bud-dies and most of all, by Wills' family, helpedhim maintain composure. "Thank you formaking this possible today. Thank you verymuch."

The remarks from Wills' family, howev-er, provided the ceremony's most poignantmoments. Janice Wills Brooks, little sister ofFrancis Wills, thanked all who made theceremony a reality and paid tribute to herbrother. "Francis DeSales Wills; blessedmemories," she said. "Of the heroes goneto rest, leave them be. Let them slumber inthe hearts of those who love them, ablessed memory. In our hearts today, Fran-cis DeSales Wills, our blessed memory.Memories of a young man and communityactivist destined for greatness. First youthpresident of the NAACP. Graduated fromthe segregated Bel Alton High School andlater insisting that his younger brothersand sisters attend integrated Walter J.Mitchell Elementary School. 'Momma, theywill get a better education,' he said. Mem-ories of a young man who instilled hopeand dreams. 'Reach for the stars,' is what hetold me. 'You may not make it to the starsbut reach high. Memories of a young manwho looked out for his younger brothersand sisters. He told our mom 'if somethinghappens to me, build a home for my broth-ers and sisters.' Memories of a young manwalking away, not looking back, not accept-ing a ride to the bus station, walking awayand not looking back. DeSales: father,brother, friend, companion. we love you.We were blessed to have you in our livesand you will always be our blessed memo-ry."
