USAMMA Hosts First Sgt. Maj. Change of Responsibility Ceremony Ellen Crown
USAMRMC Public Affairs
The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency leadership hosted a change of responsibility ceremony at the Fort Detrick auditorium Nov. 13, welcoming a new sergeant major to the organization. With the traditional passing of the organizational colors, Sgt. Maj. Leo Anderson transitioned the role of USAMMA’s senior enlisted advisor to Sgt. Maj. Thomas R. Vatcher. USAMMA Commander Col. David R. Gibson presided over the ceremony and spoke about the value that sergeant majors bring to the Army. He lauded their ability to develop and lead, as well as ser ve as examples for all Soldiers. “They exhibit what ‘right’ looks like,” said Gibson, in reference to sergeant majors. Anderson has held the position of sergeant major at the USAMMA for three years. He will retire from the Army in ap-
proximately six months after more than 30 years of active-duty service. Vatcher is originally from Rochester, New Hampshire, and is trained as a combat medic. He has served in a variety of overseas assignments in Germany, as well as deployments to Macedonia, Haiti, Albania, Iraq and Afghanistan. The USAMMA is a multifaceted organization that is globally managing strategic medical logistics contingency programs; medically equipping active, reserve and National Guard forces; and providing technical solutions at medical treatment facilities. An essential part of Army Medicine and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, the USAMMA’s mission is to develop, tailor, deliver and sustain medical materiel capabilities in order to build and enable health readiness by equipping and sustaining the medical force.

Students from the Fort Detrick’s Child Development Center helped plant a tree in celebration of Arbor Day in front of the Odom Fitness Center Nov. 18 as the installation celebrated becoming a Tree City USA community for the 13th year. The standards to become a Tree City USA community include having a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. This year, Fort Detrick met those standards again. The official Arbor Day observance in Maryland is recognized the first Wednesday in April; however, unofficially it can be
observed any day that a community plants a tree with community participation and recognition. The tree selected for this year’s Arbor Day planting was a red maple. The tree is a favorite for planting in urban environments due to its beautiful red foliage and adaptability to various soil types. For more information about Tree City USA, visit www.arborday.org/TreeCityUSA. The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit, environmental, education organization of nearly one million members, with a mission to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees. For more information on the foundation and its programs, visit www.arborday.org.

Commentary:
More Than Just Charges and Fees Congratulations to our Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation directorate for recently earning first place honors for customer service in the Army. We continue to hear your ideas and suggestions, and put many of them in motion. We appreciate your input and support. The FMWR directorate provides support for our Soldiers and civilian employees through recreation, childcare, exceptional family members, financial readiness, relocation readiness and many other programs. The range of programs and services offered is based on the needs of customers who work and reside on all Fort Detrick sites. These programs are managed within a framework of authorized and available appropriated and non-appropriated funds. Non-appropriated funds are those funds locally generated by the FMWR. Funds are generated by fees charged to customers for various facilities and programs. I am sure many of you wonder why the FMWR charges you to attend events, rent equipment or pay to advertise your events. Those funds cover FMWR oper-
ating expenses and allow us to reinvest funds in future FMWR ventures. The intent is for FMWR programs to be customer-driven and support profitable operations. When profitable, these funds can be used to pay for program expansions, interior renovations and infrastructure reinvestments into the FMWR facilities. All of these enhance morale, promote readiness and focus on well-being. Many of you took a needs assessment survey this year and identified services you would like the FMWR to provide. On the top of the list is the need to offer more diverse lunch options. The FMWR is using funds from last year’s profits to purchase a food truck to meet this need. This is just one example of how locally generated FMWR funds are used to enhance the quality of life at Fort Detrick. If you ever wonder why you have to pay for an FMWR service, remember we reinvest that revenue in quality-of-life and readiness programs for the entire Fort Detrick community.

Chaplain’s Corner Season of Lights
December begins the season of lights. People will start hanging lights on their houses; cities will put up lights along the streets to celebrate the holidays; businesses will put out special seasonal lights and decorations; the Jewish community will celebrate Hanukah by the lighting of the menorah; and Kwanzaa will be celebrated by the lighting of candles each representing aspects of the African culture. The season of lights begins this December, driving out the darkness and pointing towards hope. One of my favorite things to do during Christmas is to drive around neighborhoods and see the lights. I love the enthusiasm with which many people decorate their homes. Some will do traditional Christmas scenes of Santa and reindeer, while others will venture into a more modern theme. I personally am partial to nativity scenes, which may not be a surprise to you being that I am a Chaplain. Last year, one of my neighbors had a nativity display set to music and you could tune your radio to his display of lights. We would always tune the radio to his house when we pulled into the neighborhood to hear what was playing and watch the lights in sync with the music. My neighbor will never know how much his lights cheered me, my family and many others. My hope is that the lights of the season bring you all joy as well, and point you towards hope.
The end of daylight savings time means that it begins getting dark by five o’clock. That means, by the time I leave work, it is usually dark; which can be a little depressing, because it seems like I have missed the day busy at work. Seeing the lights on my way home becomes a special part of my day to enjoy. It reminds me of the light of the world that entered creation so many years ago. Isaiah, the prophet, wrote, “Those who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” Light entered the world to help those like me, in darkness, to see the way home. I hope that in this season of light you are able to see the way home as well. To all of you who love to hang up lights during this time of year, thank you. Thank you for lighting up my darkness and helping me see the way home. I hope I to can help shine forth a light to dispel someone else’s darkness so that they may see the way home, the way to hope. Remember that even the smallest of lights pushes back the darkness. For all of you who leave your lights up until February, thank you. Thank you to all who came by the Chapel for the community dinner as well. We served over 350 people, and it was a great honor to have you as our guests, sharing your time with us. It is truly a treasure to share time together. Happy Holidays Fort Detrick, Chaplain Michael Jeffries

Why Frederick Celebrates “Repudiation Day” Nick Minecci
USAG Public Affairs
Frederick County recognizes Repudiation Day every Nov. 23, but how many people have heard of this day or know what it honors? While the Boston Tea Party is known around the world as a public display of anger toward the British crown in 1773, what many people do not know is that in 1765 a dozen judges gathered in a home on Record Street, behind the current Frederick City Hall, and agreed they would not enforce Parliament’s tax, known as the British Stamp Act. These judges became the first to reject the British Stamp Act, a tax imposed on all 13 colonies, designed to pay for the costs of keeping British troops in the American colonies. The Frederick County judges decided they were not going to enforce the tax. The judges reasoned that the stamps had not arrived from England, so they had no stamps to fix on the merchandise, and were also upset that the colonists had not been properly notified about the new tax. The late Judge Edward Delaplaine, a prominent Frederick jurist, historian and Francis Scott Key biographer, called the 12 Frederick County judges who repudiated the British Stamp Act the “12 immortal judges.”

Each year the Frederick Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution meets to celebrate Repudiation Day with a tea party where tea and crumpets are served and the Clerk of the Court reads the original proclamation passed by the judges in November 1765 and by the Maryland Provincial Assembly. There is a plaque in the Frederick County Courthouse, placed there by the Frederick Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in 1904, listing the names of the twelve men who took the brave stance and repudiated the Stamp Act. The plaque is on the right side of the vestibule of the courthouse front entranceway.

USAMRMC Hosts Fall Fitness Challenge Crystal Maynard
USAMRMC Public Affairs
The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command is hosting an eight-week “Fall Fitness Fun Challenge” from Oct. 26 to Dec. 18 to encourage everyone to embrace the tenants of the Army’s Performance Triad — sleep, nutrition and activity. The Performance Triad is an Army Medicine initiative that encourages Service Members, civilians and family members to adopt healthier lifestyle habits. “Unfortunately, we spend so many hours behind the desk and in meetings that it is often very easy to make excuses why we chose not to get even 10 mins of exercise,” said USAMRMC Company Commander Capt. Melisa Natapraya. “I’m hoping just the bonding, teamwork and motivation from one another during our workouts will encourage all that voluntarily participate to adopt healthy habits in every facet of life.” Participants meet at 6:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday at the Odom Fitness Center for an hour of exercise, which includes a mix of cardio, weight training, high-intensity interval training, yoga, group fitness classes and ruck marches. The program is open to all Soldiers, civilians and family members who have a Department of Defense Command Access Card that will allow them access to the gym. On days that the group
is scheduled for a fun run or ruck march, anyone can join in. “Everyone knows that the three pillars of the Performance Triad are sleep, nutrition and physical activity,” said Natapraya. “As a command, we have limited visibility on sleep and nutrition; however, as leaders, we can motivate or be the catalyst for change for those trying to embrace healthy habits.” According to challenge participant Lt. Col. Sarah Bro, the motivation is there. “I’m the type of person that gets more out of a workout if I’m with another person, to stay accountable and stay focused,” said Bro. “Also, I’m recovering from one injury while managing a second chronic injury. I started this program to keep going, not get complacent and still work within my medical profile. The program is designed to be flexible with meeting the Soldier where they are at. You don’t have to be a fitness superstar to start this, nor does that have to be your goal. You just have to show up and do the best your body can do.” With 15 participants enrolled in the challenge, it is shaping up to be a success. There is already a discussion for another challenge to take place in the spring. “What better way for the command to support the Soldiers and the workforce than to get out and get fit with them?” said Natapraya.
Even though Lt. Col. Sarah Bro has injuries, she is still able to participate in the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Fall Fitness Challenge by modifying her workout. Photo by Crystal Maynard, USAMRMC Public Affairs
USAMMDA Hosts Native American Heritage Observance Erin Bolling
USAMMDA Public Affairs Support
The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity hosted this year’s Native American Indian Observance at the Community Activities Center at Fort Detrick Nov. 20. The theme for this year’s observance was “Growing Native Leaders: Enhancing Our Seven Generations.” This idea of seven generation sustainability originated with the Iroquois, and is based on the idea of living all aspects of your life to benefit the next seven generations (about 150 years). This philosophy teaches every generation to think about how their actions will affect the future. By practicing this philosophy, every child would be taught to make decisions on not what is best for themselves, but their grandchildren’s futures. Opening remarks were made by Col. William Geesey, commander of the USAMMDA. During his brief opening, Geesey shared his personal experience stating he has “great appreciation” for Native American culture and values. He shared that his adoptive parents were descendants of the Sioux line. Geesey wore a bracelet that he wove as a child; taught to “stich in errors.” This meant that while we think of the errors as imperfections, such as is in life, the imperfections are what make things great. Geesey noted that his bracelet had many errors. The event was led with some informative facts about Native American history. Among these facts was the correlation to how long Native Americans have been a part of our history, until when we have given the time to acknowledge their participation in our history. It wasn’t until 1915 we recognized

an “American Indian Day,” 1986 Congress passed an observance week, and not until 1990 that Native Americans and Alaskan Natives were given the month of November as observation month. Guest speaker Ron Lessard (Mohawk), chief of staff for the white house initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education, U.S. Department of Education, addressed the audience. As the theme was about growing native leaders and enhancing seven generations, he spoke mainly about the future of Native American descendants today. He believes that the native children of today “need meaningful support in the education system.” Lessard continued stating that our Native American children and grandchildren need to reach their full potential as these are the future native leaders, and this will only happen by improving the line of native youth. “How do we help grow young Native American leaders?” asked Lessard; by embracing their culture. He told a story about a young native boy in kindergarten. The young boy was sent home from school and asked to cut his long braided hair. The parents did not understand, to not allow a child in kindergarten to be proud of his heritage and force him to change because it was different. This boy was shown discrimination, when currently the President of the United States hand appointed a Native American with long braided hair. Lessard explained that we must set an example to our children. As we think about embracing the generations, we must begin with our own, but it must continue to the far future. The event was concluded by a traditional Hoop Dance by Pete Giove-FourWinds (Mo-

hawk). Giove has been a hoop dancer since 1993 for a wide range of audiences across the country and around the world. The dance is performed with a number of ‘hula’ size hoops, along with the beat of a single drum and melodic chant. With each careful movement Giove made, the hoops came to life. At the end of the dance, Giove asked the audience what they saw the hoops become. Members of the
Sustaining a community of excellence through restoration, environmental stewardship and workforce development
audience saw a turtle, a horse, a beaver, a bear and an eagle. Giove confirmed that everything that was seen was correct; the hoop dance is all about personal interpretation, and everyone will see and interpret differently. This event was an excellent tribute to Native Americans and was a chance to share and teach some of the Fort Detrick community.
Guidance During Election Season Nick Minecci
USAG Public Affairs
With the 2016 general election campaigns underway, now is a good time to review the rules in place for Department of Defense civilians and military personnel that protect you and prevent the appearance of DOD approval or endorsement of any candidate or political party. Aside from attending a rally or convention as a spectator during off-duty hours, but never in uniform, Service Members on active duty are prohibited from partisan political fundraising, rallies or conventions, according to DOD Directive 1344.10, “Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces on Active Duty.” With the proliferation of social media across various platforms, Service Members may “friend” or “like” a Facebook page or “follow” a Twitter account of a political party,
candidate, campaign, group or cause. However, they are prohibited from suggesting others also follow the same accounts. Service Members are also barred from using disparaging words against the President, Vice President, Congress or the governor/legislature of the state where they are on duty. For civilian employees, the Hatch Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 73217326, places limits on certain political activities of most executive branch employees, including DOD civilian employees and military reservists, or national guardsman working as federal government civilians. For example, the law prohibits employees from engaging in political activity while on duty or in the federal workplace. It also prohibits them from soliciting or receiving political contributions. Other items on the list of activities prohibited for all DOD employees include:
- Engaging in political activity while using any vehicle owned or leased by the government of the United States, or any agency thereof, or while wearing a uniform or official insignia identifying the office or position of the DOD employee; - Knowingly soliciting or discouraging the participation in any political activity of any person who has an application for any compensation, grant, contract, ruling, license, permit or certificate pending before the employee’s office; - Participating in political activity while on duty or in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an individual employed by the DOD. For information about the Hatch Act and DOD Directive 1334.10, search www.dod. mil/dodgc/defense_ethics/ resource_library/guidance. htm and look under “political activities.”
Fort Detrick Participates in 13th Annual SMARTPROC

Attendees network with federal installations, commands and agencies from the Department of Homeland Security, the National Institutes of Health, Fort Meade, Fort Detrick, Aberdeen Proving Ground, the National Cancer Institute and others. Dr. Kenneth Bertram, principal assistant for acquisition and Col. Thomas Timmes, commander of the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research participated in the keynote panel. The USAMRMC also held a super session to discuss current efforts and upcoming opportunities. The session, moderated by Jerome Maultsby, assistant director of the Office of Small Business Programs featured representatives from the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (Cheryl Miles), the USAMRMC Strategic Planning Office (Amanda Cecil), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (Col.
