The Old Guard evaluates, recognizes top ceremonial performances

By Guv Callahan Pentagram Staff Writer Soldiers in the Army’s 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) have a unique and powerful mission that touches lives every day – to help lay to rest men and women who have served the country.

In order to shoulder that responsibility, Soldiers in The Old Guard must make sure they are always proficient in their ceremonial duties. And from March 18 to April 2, the 1st Battalion was evaluating its performance through the memorial affairs training and evaluation program (MATEP).

Members of the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Presidential Salute Battery fire 100 ceremonial rounds April 2 during a memorial affairs training evaluation program at the Fort Myer portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. The event was one of several used by The Old Guard’s 1st Battalion March 18 to April 2 to evaluate the Soldiers’ performance.

So you’ve been pulled over, now what?

By Damien Salas Pentagram Staff Writer For those driving on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, the rules of the road are simple, and yet there are many who still get stopped for traffic infractions. Some of the violations occur even before visitors and residents are allowed to enter the joint base.

“We stop and ticket people at the gate for two main reasons,” said Sgt. Troy Trahan from the JBM-HH Directorate of Emergency Services in an interview with the Pentagram.

“Some because they have expired registrations, and some

registered in Virginia but have expired state inspections.”

Those granted access to the joint base should be aware that officers from DES and the 289th Military Police Company are patrolling the roads, according to Trahan.

“We aren’t that large of an installation, so we mostly pull people over for speeding or for not obeying stop signs,” he said.

A large amount of warnings and tickets are given to those who “California roll,” a term used for those who don’t make complete stops at the red octagon, according to Trahan.

“As we gather on this resurrection morning, I ask you to join me in remembering all of our military service members who are deployed today in harm’s way and those who offered their lives in the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our great nation,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Lawrence Dabeck, JBM-HH chaplain, in his welcoming remarks.

Dabeck added that the sacrifices made by military families would also never be forgotten.

Eggcellent attendance at Caisson spring open house

By Jim Dresbach Pentagram Staff Writer The April 4 spring weather brought a bumper crop of visitors to The Old Guard Caisson Platoon’s spring open house.

During the first 90 minutes, close to 500 visitors had already walked the stable halls of the caisson, and according to Caisson Operations Staff Sgt. John Ford, a total of 1,318 people attended the six-hour open house.

“We opened the doors at noon, and we already had 150 people waiting to come in,” Ford said.

“Children with horses is just very natural. All kids love horses and the kids want to pet them and feed them the hay.”

Inside and outside the stables, kids and moms and dads snacked on cotton candy and popcorn, took part in Easter egg rolls and hunts, spring hayrack rides, but the highlight for many was personally getting to know the caisson horses.

“The horses are my favorite,” said 9-year-old Cole Thurston, who also won a medal by placing

By Julia LeDoux Pentagram Staff Writer Blue pinwheels spun merrily while laughter from kids of all ages filled Cody Child Development Center on the Fort Myer portion of JBM-HH April 1 as the community came together to recognize April as the Month of the Military Child and Child Abuse Prevention Month with a superhero pinwheel parade.

“We are here today to celebrate you and everybody at the post CDC,” JBM-HH Commander Col. Mike Henderson told the excited youngsters. “We recognize the sacrifice that families have made serving our great country. Your safety and happiness is very important to us. This month we celebrate you, our superheroes.”

Henderson’s twin sons, Timothy and Peter, 5, were among those who participated in the parade.

“I liked my daddy being in the parade,” Timothy said.

Aaliyah Martin, 4, smiled continuously when discussing the event, which saw the CDC students walking around the building with their parents and staff members waving pinwheels, while wearing superhero capes to music performed by The U.S. Army Band Fife and Drum Corps .

“I had fun and I liked it when we had the parade,” she said.

Cody CDC director Sunny Smith

H

said one of the best things about the event is that it is a collaboration between Army Community Service and Child and Youth Services.

“We want the kids to get out of it that it is their month,” she said. “We want the adults to get out of it that we all play a role in preventing child abuse.”

Jocelyn Barrow, a data management training coordinator for the joint base Family Advocacy Program, sewed 40 adult and 20 kid superhero capes for the event for JBM-HH staff and children to show their support of the annual observance.

“I think with the capes it makes it really child friendly,” she said. “I think the kids really responded well.”

Mary Cargill, New Parent Support Prog ra m home v isitor, said she loved the event.

“It’s preventing child abuse and celebrating military children,” she said.

U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Kristen Curran, who works in the Office of Legal and Defense Services, marched in the parade with her three children.

“It was good. My kids all had a great time,” she said. “I think that kids and military families have sacrifices other families don’t have. It’s really helpful for them to see the community come together.”

Because of the service and sacrifice of so many, we enjoy this extraordinary opportunity to worship in freedom in this beautiful and sacred place,” he said.

Dabeck also said the primary purpose of the gathering “is to celebrate the service and sacrifice of the One who died that all may live.”

Following readings from the Book of Isaiah and the Gospel according to Mark, U.S. Air Force Chap. Maj. Gen. Howard Stendahl, chief of chaplains for the Air Force, told attendees they were celebrating their shared faith.

“We have this faith in many forms around the world,” he said. “We are billions of people who celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.”

He called the celebration of the resurrection at Arlington National Cemetery “extraordinary” because it was being held “amidst the heroes of American history who have been laid to rest all around us in this hallowed ground.”

Stendahl also said that while recent television documentaries have attempted to either prove or disprove the resurrection based upon science, for him and other followers of Christ, scientific proof is not necessary.

The following leaders and their guests attended the sunrise service: Gen. Daniel B. Allyn, vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army; Lt. Gen. David D. Halverson, commander, U.S. Installation Management Command and assistant chief of staff for Installation Management; the Honorable Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment; and Maj.

“Last year we had a week set aside to go out and judge the companies throughout the week,” he said. “This year really gave us a true, honest look at where we stand as a battalion in terms of memorial affairs. The reality is, when you’re out in the cemetery, you should be ready to go. You shouldn’t have to train up for a week and then put your A-game on for just a day.”

“I appreciate all the work that you guys do every day and especially these last few weeks,” he told the battalion.

Taylor also reminded his Soldiers that their job is one of immense honor and importance.

“This is the most honorable job I’ve had in 18 years,” he said. “When we get out to the cemetery and are executing missions for a fallen comrade, it’s not about race, it’s not religion and it’s not about politics.

It’s not about anything except for giving the family of our fallen a fantastic ceremony and the honorable goodbye that their loved ones deserve.”

He also advised the battalion Soldiers to never take their jobs for granted.

“That family is taking that memory forever,” he said. “Don’t ever forget what you guys do. Every day you’re in that cemetery … there’s no doubt you impacted an American family and their loved ones.

It’s a huge, huge honor that you guys carry, and you do a fantastic job day in and day out.”

Yolanda King, JBM-HH sexual assault response coordinator, explained that the theme of this year’s commemoration is “Eliminate sexual assault. Know your part. Do your part.”

“The Department of Defense joins the nation in observing sexual assault awareness and prevention month in April by focusing on the appropriate culture to eliminate sexual assault and requiring personal commitment from all service members at every level,” she said.

In his keynote address, JBM-HH Commander Col. Mike Henderson said April’s designation as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month provides an opportunity to build on existing momentum to eliminate sexual assault and ensure all personnel are in a command climate where they are treated with dignity and respect.

“I believe preventing sexual assault in our military requires a personal commitment from every service member, every Department of Defense civilian, including contractors, and every family member, to be a steadfast participant in creating an appropriate culture and upholding standards of behavior and the military core values,” he said.

Henderson said everyone has a common role in both the prevention and response to sexual assault.

“We must recognize our part in stopping this crime, starting with our own awareness and knowing when, where and how to intervene,” he stressed. “Intervention is vital in helping to identify and cease unsafe behavior. Each day you can take steps to foster a culture of dignity and respect if you do your part.”

Henderson also said that everyone must add their voices to the call to end sexual assault.

“Every member of the community must be committed to an environment where sexist behaviors, sexual harassment and sexual assault are not tolerated, condoned or ignored,” he said. “We must show solidarity and commitment to eliminating

sexual violence from our ranks, beginning with each individual on the team.”

And by working to prevent sexual violence, holding offenders accountable and extending support to those in need, “we keep faith with our fellow service members, DoD civilians, including family members and the values that unite us, integrity, trust, dignity, respect and courage,” continued Henderson. “Let us renew the common cause this month and let us rededicate ourselves to affect change in our spheres of influence to cease sexual violence from our community in the year ahead.”

King noted that more than a quarter million sexual assaults occur across the United States each year.

“We need everyone to be part of the solution,” she said.

Look for continued coverage of the observance in the Pentagram throughout April and beyond.

Representatives from nearly 90 educational institutions and employers gathered in the Cpl. Terry L. Smith Gymnasium on the Henderson Hall portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall April 2 for the Marine Corps Community Services Education and Career Fair.

The semi-annual event was open to active duty and retired service members, those separating from military service, military spouses and Department of Defense civilians.

Sam Bagwell, Henderson Hall’s personal and professional development branch head and a 22-year veteran of the Corps, was excited that so many organizations and prospective employers had come out to show their support.

“I want to take this opportunity just to tell you how thrilled I am to see so many schools and employers here on our installation,” he said during brief opening remarks. “I take pride in what you do. I take pride

Cody CDC earns NAEYC accreditation

By JBM-HH Public Affairs

Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall’s Cody Child Development Center earned its accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

“Accreditation systems are a major part of NAEYC’s efforts to improve early childhood education; they allow programs to provide the best learning experiences for young children and their educators by meeting national standards of quality,” according to the NAEYC website.

The Army requires NAEYC accreditation for its child care programs, so CDC staff had to ensure the center met NAEYC’s standards for accreditation through a four-step process that takes about a year. CDC managers and staff completed a rigorous self study process which included study across the 10 standards set by NAEYC, including relationships, curriculum, health and management.

“A team of two people came on Feb. 12 and 13 and completed a thorough review of all of our self study materials covering a

number of preselected criteria and observed in a number of classrooms,” said Dawn Thompson, Child, Youth and School Services coordinator. The CDC was notified April 1 that their accreditation was granted, which is valid through April 2020.

Sunny Smith, Cody CDC director, said the CDC team compiled a wealth of documentation to prove and ensure that the program met the NAEYC standards, which require excellence in facilities, the relationships between teachers, students and families, and the progress children make.

“We compiled thousands of pieces of evidence,” Smith said.

“Failure was not an option.”

Smith and Thompson said the CDC staff was engaged throughout the process and demonstrated a great deal of confidence and poise.

“The resounding comments from them were ‘We’re better than we’ve ever been,’” Smith said.

The accreditation signals that the Cody CDC is an example of excellence in child care, Smith said.

Natitude invades JBM-HH MLB organization thanks service members with party

By Jim Dresbach Pentagram Staff Writer To celebrate their 10th anniversary as Washington, D.C.’s major league baseball team, the Washington Nationals hit the road for a 10 Days of Thanks Tour, and Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall was one of the team’s stops on March 31.

Though Nationals players were entering their final week of spring training in Florida, the racing presidents Tom and Teddy plus mascot Screech entertained and met service members and military children at the afternoon party which was moved inside Town Hall on the Fort Myer portion of the joint base due to the chance of inclement weather.

Over 100 Marines, Soldiers, joint base civilian employees and military families were treated to food, drink and music, and Nationals gift bags were distributed throughout the event which was attended by Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Commander Col. Mike Henderson, JBM-HH Command Sgt. Maj. Randall Woods and joint base Deputy Commander Marine Lt. Col. John Orille.

“The Washington Nationals pre-season event at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall was a great time for service members and their families to celebrate with characters like the racing presidents and the team mascot, Screech,” Orille said via email to the Pentagram.

The Nationals’ stop on the joint base was the organization’s seventh stop on the goodwill tour through Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.

“We have great relationships with the military,” Nationals Manager of Community Relations Nicole Murray said during the event. “The base was very welcoming and allowed us to do this. We pulled this together quickly, and it has been a lot of fun. There’s Army and the Marine Corps here, so we are reaching a good cross section of service members.”

The Nationals also plan military appreciation days throughout their 81-day home schedule in 2015. Army appreciation night is June 2 against the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Marines will be honored July 21 when the Nats take on the New York Mets in a 7:05 p.m. National League Eastern Division clash.

Southwest Waterfront celebrates 103 years of cherry blossoms

By Damien Salas Pentagram Staff Writer Wind gusts signaling the arrival of spring, and blowing away winter’s frigid grasp, warmed Washington, D.C.’s Southwest waterfront April 4 just in time for t he 12t h A n nual Southwest Waterfront Fireworks Festival.

Though the heavy winds prevented sailing activities for the day, thousands gathered to celebrate the 1912 gifting of 3,000 pink blossoming cherry trees that came to the District from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo, and to watch the annual fireworks display over the Potomac River.

J o i nt B a s e My e r Henderson Hall Commander Col. Mike Henderson gave opening remarks on the f loating stage where several bands performed throughout the day, including the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Band and Color Guard, The U.S. Army Band Downrange and The U.S. Army Blues Swamp Romp.

“Joi nt Base Myer Henderson Hall has been a long-standing and proud member of the Washington Waterfront Association and this dynamic Southwest D.C. community,” said Henderson. “It has been our great honor and privilege to provide military

support for the fireworks festival and to be a part of this tremendous annual event…now for the 12th year in a row.”

About 30 military volunteers were on site to assist stage logistics and to monitor booths dedicated to arts and crafts. Volunteers for the festival included members of various installation Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers, or B.O.S.S., organizations f rom t hroug hout t he National Capital Region.

U.S. Army Pvt. Rustan Gerhardt, 20, from New London, Texas, stationed on Fort George G. Meade, Md., volunteered for a five-hour shift during the festival. Since high school, he has volunteered on many projects, and likes to “help out whenever he can,” he said.

“We had a lot of fun at the festival,” he said.

“The people were really friendly. I would definitely do it again.”

After the sun set, thousands of attendees gathered along the waterfront to watch a fireworks display.

Once a visitor or resident of the base is pulled over, the procedure is simple and painless when everyone cooperates and knows their roles.

“T he MP will pull behind the vehicle they want to stop and put on their lights,” said Pfc. Daniel Yeadon, an MP with the 289th. “The person should then pull over to a safe location, out of the way of traffic and stay in their vehicle.”

Once the MP approaches the vehicle, the driver should get out their license and registration so that their information can be run through a database.

There may be times when mult iple of f icer s a re present; often, this is due to the patrol supervisor checking on the work of a junior officer, according to DES Director Lt. Col. Macedonio Molina.

The MP is not responsible for telling the driver why they are being pulled over until after the license a nd reg ist rat ion has been checked.

“The check is to make sure the person is not a threat,” said Yeadon.

“Also, they may not own the vehicle, which is why we run the license.”

If the driver has a concealed carry permit, they should let the officer know.

Guns aren’t allowed on the installation, but their permit will show up in the system, so it is good to assure the officer that there are no weapons in the vehicle, according to Yeadon.

After the check has been run, the officer will either give the violator a warning or write a citation.

If a citation is written, the officer will tell them where they can go to dispute or pay the ticket. Tickets issued on JBM-HH are brought before the Eastern

A group of youngsters start to sprint past the starting line of an egg hunt at The Old Guard Caisson Platoon’s spring open house held April 4 at the caisson stables on the Fort Myer portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. Spring weather brought over 1,300 visitors to the stable.

Allowing yourself to get frazzled just because there is an armed man or woman in uniform standing at your car window is cou nter -produc t ive, according to Yeadon.

“The goal isn’t to get people in trouble, it is to ensure everyone is being safe on the roads,” he said.

Molina echoed Yeadon’s sentiment noting that officers are trained professionals who will treat the community with dignity, respect and fairness.

“The best advice I have for all the community members is to follow the officer’s instructions and there will be no issues,” said Molina.

ANC patrol Not only are DES officers and the MPs responsible for patrolling JBM-HH and Arlington National Cemetery, they also take care of enforcing safety and security at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a change that came about after the Oct. 22, 2014 terrorist attack in Ottawa, Canada, where a sentry was shot and killed while on duty at Parliament Hill, a position similar to that of tomb sentinels.

The hours are difficult but rewarding, according to Yeadon, who is one of the several patrol officers responsible for getting to the cemetery before sunrise to raise two American flags at Arlington House and the Tomb of the Unknowns.

“Not many people get to see the cemetery at that hour,” he said. “It is really beautiful to watch the sun rise over Washington, D.C., and to watch the tomb sentinels perform their duties.”

“R ig ht at t he ver y beginning of the war, the house we stand before was occupied by federal troops,” Penrod continued. “This house was an Army headquarters. Generals and their families lived in it.

The grounds became a vast military complex. Forts,

about a dozen, were built surrounding this property.

Early in the war, President [Abraham] Lincoln and his generals understood the relevance and the importance of this property.”

The April evening in 2015 concluded with a memorial to nearly 775,000 troops who lost their lives and many are buried in ANC. The program finished with a hilltop candlelight vigil and moment of silence for the Civil War dead who died in battle from 1861 to 1865.
