By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer Citizens and community leaders honored Pfc. Francis Wills, a local soldier who went missing while serving inVietnam, at a Sept. 25 ceremony at the Charles County Government Building. Feelings of joy, pride, grief and sorrow intermingled among the large crowd that gathered, which included several members of Wills' family. A long list of dignitaries and citizens paid tribute to Wills, who went missing during a 1966 patrol in Phy Yen Province. "Today, ladies and gentlemen, we are here to honor all of our veterans, but particularly, our veterans of theVietnam era," said Candice Quinn Kelly, president of the Charles County Board of Commissioners. "In addition, we are here to take some time to reflect on those who were POWs. And most importantly today, we are here to bring home Francis DeSales Wills. He lived only 22 years, ladies and gentlemen, and it's taken us almost 50 years to bring his spirit home. And so for his family today, we wrap our arms around you." Representatives of Senators Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski and Congressman Steny Hoyer recognized theWills family by presenting them with a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol and a certificate of Congressional recognition. Delegate Peter Murphy, chair of the Charles County Delegation, spoke about how proud he is of Charles County for flying the POW flag. "Charles County is the first in Maryland willing to step out and fly this [POW] flag every day of the year," he said.

Wills went missing on a patrol in Vietnam in 1966; he is the only MIA soldier from Charles County. Like all of the speakers, Murphy praised the James Shekleton, member of Rolling Thunder Maryland Chapter One, for organizing the ceremony in honor of Wills. Murphy presented Shekleton with an official citation from the Maryland General Assembly in recognition of that effort. Murphy also presented Wills' relatives with a Maryland General Assembly citation. "Be it hereby
known to all, that sincerest sympathy is extended to the family of Francis DeSalesWills. His patriotism is exemplified by his willingness to voluntarily serve during theVietnamWar. As the only MIA Army soldier from Charles County, he will not be forgotten." ButWills was a soldier for freedom before he en-

Hispanic Heritage observance promotes STEM mentoring By John J. Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications Have you spoken with three people about what the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) is doing at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren, in our local communities, and nationwide? If you have, you are one of the scores of Sailors and civilians attending the Hispanic Heritage Observance at the Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) auditorium Sept. 11 who responded to SHPE Chief Executive Officer Pilar Montoya's call to "tell three people about what it is that we do". Montoya joined Navy leaders - including Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Commander Capt. Michael Smith, Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) Executive Officer Cmdr. Elvis Mikel, and ATRC Commanding Officer Capt. Ian Hall - to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, which is being observed through Oct. 15. With a national theme of "Diversity United, Building America's Future Today," the observance celebrates the histories, cultures and contributions of Americans who trace their roots to Spain, Mexi-

"This year's national theme mirrors the Navy's commitment to building and valuing a culture of diversity," said Capt. Smith. "Diversity is a strategic imperative for the U.S. Navy and it is critical to our
readiness and mission accomplishment. At the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, we understand that it takes a diverse, multi-talented workforce working together to meet the needs of today's warfighters and provide innovate solutions for the demands facing our future Fleet. There is no question that our ability to meet our mission goals depends on our talent base, which is made stronger because of the capabilities of our engineers, scientists and business professionals of Hispanic descent." "Just as they serve in the armed forces, Hispanic Americans have excelled in every walk of life and have contributed to our country as political leaders, community leaders, business leaders, in education and civil rights," said Cmdr. Mikel. "Today, on our nation's highest court, a Hispanic American sits as one of the nine justices on the Supreme Court. Pres. Obama has said the story of the Hispanic community is the same as America - it's part of our story. As we celebrate the traditions and values that define our national culture and character, they represent a strong thread that is woven throughout the fabric of America." Under Montoya's leadership, SHPE has launched innovative national programs to ensure

Dahlgren employees step up for King George Day of Caring
US Navy photos by Andrew Revelos All together now! Over 100 volunteers, half of whom work at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, tackled 13 projects at the 3rd Annual King George County Day of Caring on Sept. 28. The project, sponsored by Rappahannock United Way, provides services to non-profit organizations at no cost thanks to volunteer labor. Across the county, Dahlgren personnel stood side-by-side with local citizens and leaders to accomplish all manner of county chores. Projects included the construction of a walking trail at the Dahlgren Heritage Museum (located in the old Gateway Welcome Center on Rt. 301), painting and landscaping at the King George YMCA, landscaping the trailhead at the Dahlgren Rail Heritage Trail, clean up at the Ralph Bunche High School, beautification at King George Elementary School, power washing and painting at Project Faith, and book tagging and craft and story time

assistance at Smoot Library, among others. Base teams from Naval Support Activity South Potomac, Aegis Training and Readiness Center and NSWC Dahlgren Division G70 Safety Team and NSWCDD CBR Detection System Branch worked with teams including members of the newly formed King George Rotary Club, National Society of Black Engineers, University of Mary Washington-Dahlgren, Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin employees, Little Zion Church members and local businesses including Exit Realty, Community Bank of Tri-County, Intuit, People's Community Bank, Union First Market Bank. NSWC Federal Credit Union, who were primary sponsors of the event and provided breakfast for volunteers, also fielded a team that worked at the new Dahlgren Heritage Museum. King George Day of Caring "was very successful," said Mary Ellen Hutcherson,Volunteer Coordinator for Rappahannock United Way. "This year, 44 new volunteers registered, six new companies and organizations sent teams and four new non-profits submitted three new projects. This one-day, hands-on experience provides nonprofit agencies and schools with volunteer teams to complete projects that often go unfinished because of a shortage of labor or funds. This event provided more than 730 man and women hours at a value of over $16,000 to the community in one day! Day of Caring volunteers make a meaningful and lasting impact on the community."

Navy leaders praised 117 Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) awardees for their achievements at the annual Academic Recognition Ceremony held for the first time at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren campus on Sept. 24. "Your expertise and knowledge is paramount for America's freedom," keynote speaker, Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command Master Chief Evelyn Banks told scientists, engineers and business leaders who served as adjunct professors at universities and completed academic milestones from professional certifications to associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. "We need you to keep doing what you're doing." "The graduates we honor today are proof that our commitment to the academic development of our workforce is paying off for both our graduates and NSWC Dahlgren Division," said NSWCDD Commander Capt. Michael Smith. "With their goals met, they will be better equipped to meet the scientific, technological and management challenges ahead." The honorees and their family and friends listened as the NAVSEA Command Master Chief recited a litany of Pres. Abraham Lincoln's failures prior to his successful 1860 election as President of the United States. Lincoln's "actions spoke louder than words," she said, adding that he was the only president with a patent. "I know what it's like to balance work and the challenges our economy brings to us," said Banks, who is pursuing a doctoral degree in organizational leadership.

Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command Master Chief Evelyn Banks tells Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) personnel that their "expertise and knowledge is paramount for America's freedom" at the annual Academic Recognition Ceremony held at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren campus Sept. 24. "You've given me hope and the proof to say it can be done. Thank you for letting your actions speak louder than your words." NSWC Dahlgren employees are balancing their family, work and academic commitments with the help of programs such as the Academic Development and Professional Certification Incentive Program that provides employees a limited amount of time on the clock to pursue academic training. Maintaining a highly skilled workforce is critical to NSWCDD - the Navy's leading warfare system architect and systems engineer, recognized as the technical leader in delivering innovative, affordable and effective solutions for the Navy, Joint forces,
and the nation. "We recognize the benefits of partnering with our employees to invest in their education in a way that will enable them to meet the ever-increasing demands of rapid technological change," said Capt. Smith. "To achievethiswehavedevelopedastrongprogram to support intellectual development." In an economy where many employers are reducing or eliminating support for employees to pursue advanced education, NSWC Dahlgren Division remains committed to supporting education opportunities for the workforce and welcomes the opportunity to recognize employees who have reached an academic milestone each September at this annual event.

National Fire Prevention Week October 7-13 The reality is that when fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a matter of a few minutes and your chances of escape reduced drastically. Should this happen, do you and your family know two ways out of your home? It is important to have and practice a home and workplace fire escape plan that prepares you both at work and at home with your family to think fast and get out quickly when the alarm sounds. What if your first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames, would you know how to get out? That's why having an escape plan and knowing two ways out is such a key part of your plan. This year's National Fire Prevention Association theme "Have 2 Ways Out!" focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice. Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagra-
tion that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on Oct. 9, 1871. In preparation for this annual safety campaign, the Naval District Washington Fire and Emergency Services would like to remind everyone that you are the first link when it comes to fire safety at work and at home. Ensuring your safety not only includes being fire safe but knowing what to do should you experience a fire at work or at home. Here are some fire safety tips that we suggest you follow to help keep you safe.
Home Fires
* One home structure fire was reported every 85 seconds in 2010. * 92 percent of all civilian structure
fire deaths resulted from home structure fires. * Most fatal fires kill one or two people. In 2010, 19 home fires killed five or more people. * These 19 fires resulted in 101 deaths nationwide. * In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to 369,500 home structure fires. * These fires caused 13,350 civilian injuries, 2,640 civilian deaths, and $6.9 billion in direct damage. * 8 percent of reported home fires started in the bedroom. These fires caused 25 percent of home fire deaths, 21 percent of home fire injuries, and 14 percent of the direct property damage * Almost two-thirds of reported home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

2012 Speaker Series at Sotterley
Sotterley Plantation is proud to partner withThe Boeing Company in announcing the upcoming 2012 Speaker Series presentation entitled "American Brutus: JohnWilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies" by author Michael W. Kauffman on Friday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. in the Barn. This lifelong student of history will discuss his tireless search through layers of myth, folklore, and disinformation to learn what really occurred in 1865 - and why. Mr. Kauffman's award-winning book, "American Brutus: JohnWilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies" (Random House, 2004), was named one of the best books of 2004 by the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Slate.com. It was the basis of "The Hunt for JohnWilkes Booth," a two-hour documentary on the History Channel. Widely known as the guide for the Booth Escape Route bus tours, he is also a frequent contributor to television and radio documentaries and a consultant to universities, motion picture companies, and government agencies. When the Baltimore Circuit Court heard a lawsuit to force the exhumation of Booth's remains, he was called as an expert witness. And when the remains of another conspirator were discovered in 1993, it was Kauffman who helped the FBI laboratory identify them. In his latest book, "In the Footsteps of an Assassin", he takes readers over the 100-mile route of Booth's escape from Ford's Theatre to the Garrett Farm. This event is free to the public. Advance reservations are required due to limited seating. Call 301-373-2280 during regular business hours to make your reservation.

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, NSA Bethesda, Fort Detrick, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, North Point High School and Huntingtown High School) participated in the Naval District Washington Youth 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 training to educate and inspire teens about youth sponsorship. Teens attended sessions on Outreach, Newcomer Orientation, and Peer to Peer and then developed a comprehensive local action plan which they presented to the group. A session on the Interstate Compact and Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) was provided for adult Children and Youth Programs (CYP) and school staff in attendance. Brent Edwards from Commander Navy Installation Command (CNIC) was the opening speaker and discussed the Navy Teen Council, camp opportunities for teens and the future of youth programming. The event was funded by Operation Military Kids - Maryland (OMK).
Fire
Continued from page 4
Escape Planning
* According to an NFPA survey, only onethird of Americans have both developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. * Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, less than half actually practiced it. * One-third of Americans households who made and estimate they thought they would have at least six minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. The time available is often less. And only 8 percent said their first thought on hearing a smoke alarm would be to get out! * Each department or division is responsible for establishing their fire evacuation plan. In addition, in accordance with the NDWINSTR 11320.10E, an annual evacuation 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 on every level of the home, including the basement. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. * Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button and be sure to replace the batteries in these devices at least one a year. * Be sure to replace smoke alarms every 10 years in accordance with the manufacture's recommendations. * Ninety-six percent of all homes have at least one smoke alarm, according to a 2010
telephone survey. Overall, three-quarters of all U.S. homes have at least one working smoke alarm * Almost two-thirds of reported home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. * Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths in 2005-2009 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. * Working smoke alarms improve your chances of surviving a fire in your home by 50 percent and are an inexpensive device to ensure you and your family's safety. * Smoke alarms that include a recordable voice announcement in addition to the usual alarm sound, may be helpful in waking children through the use of a familiar voice. * Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These devices use strobe lights. Vibration devices can be added to these alarms * Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.
Cooking
* Cooking has been the leading cause of reported home fires and home fire injuries since 1990. Unattended cooking was by far the leading cause of these fires; two-thirds of home cooking fires began with ignition of cooking materials, including food, cooking oil, fat or grease. * Cooking caused two of every five reported home fires, roughly one of every seven home fire deaths, and two of every five home fire injuries, and 11 percent of direct property damage from home fires in 2010. * Ranges accounted for the 58 percent of home cooking fire incidents. Ovens accounted for 16 percent.
* Children under five face a higher risk of non-fire burns associated with cooking than being burned in a cooking fire.
Smoking Materials
* In 2010, smoking materials started and estimated 17,500 home structure fires, resulting in 540 deaths, 1,320 injuries and $535 million in direct property damage. Smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths. * Sleep was a factor in two of every five home smoking material fire deaths. Possible alcohol impairment was reported in one quarter of these deaths. * In recent years, Canada and the United States have required that all cigarettes sold must be "fire safe," that is have reduced ignition strength and less likely to start fires. * If you have smokers or you are a smoker, please be sure to have large deep receptacles to extinguish you smoking material and ensure they are completely out before going to bed. * If you smoke at work, please remember to follow the NDW Smoking Policy and use the approved smoking areas only.
Electrical
* Half of home electrical fires involved electrical distribution or lighting equipment. Other leading types of equipment were washer or dryer, fan, portable or stationary space heater, air conditioning equipment, water heater and range. * In 2010, electrical failures or malfunctions were factors in an estimated 46,500 home structure fires resulting in 420 deaths, 1,520 injuries and $1.5 billion in property damage. * The use of extension cords for permanent wiring is prohibited in accordance with the NDWINSTR 11320.10E.
Candles
* On average, there are 35 home candle fires reported per day. * More than one-third of these fires started in the bedroom. * More than half of all candle fires start when things that can burn are too close to the candle. * In 2010, candles caused 3 percent of home fires, 4 percent of home fire deaths, 6 percent of home fire injuries and 5 percent of direct property damage from home fires. * As a reminder, the use of candles at work is prohibited in accordance with the NDWINSTR 11320.10E.
Home Fire Sprinklers
* Automatic fire sprinkler systems cut the risk of dying in a home fire by about 83 percent. * Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive on the scene. * Sprinklers are highly effective because they react so quickly in a fire. They reduce the risk of death or injury from a fire because they dramatically reduce the heat, flames and smoke produced, allowing people time to evacuate the home. The Naval District Washington Fire & Emergency Services would like to remind everyone that by following these simple but vital tips, the chances of you or your family experiencing a home or workplace fire can be greatly reduced. If you have any questions regarding Fire/Life Safety either at work or at home or need to schedule your Annual Evacuation drill please contact your installation Fire Prevention Division.

Honors: Service and dedication of POWs will never be forgotten Continued from page 1
listed in the U.S. Army. "The Charles County branch of the NAACP is proud of Pfc. Francis DeSales Wills," said Janice Wilson, president of the Charles County Chapter NAACP. "We are proud of his service to his country. to fight for his country, and we're proud of his service to the Charles County branch of the NAACP and the fight he endured right here in Charles County. I am here to talk about one of Charles County's finest." Wilson presented Wills' family members a resolution honoring him not only for his service, but also for his participation in an anti-discrimination sit-in at local establishments. "He made unselfish strides to address issues and problems affecting African-Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities. His leadership roles were further noted in his service as Charles County's NAACP youth council president from 1962 to 1964." The next speaker, Capt. Michael Smith, commander of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, spoke about his own family's experience of a loved one who went missing while serving in Vietnam. "It is indeed my privilege to join you in this dedication ceremony and particularly to honor Private First Class Francis Wills and his family," he said. "POW/MIA Remembrance Day, of which this flag-raising ceremony is a celebration of, has a personal significance to me," said Smith, whose uncle went missing in Vietnam in 1966 after his fighter jet disappeared. It was only last year, said Smith, that a search team identified the wreckage of his uncle's F-4. "Not knowing what happened to my uncle for over 40 years was difficult for my entire family, as I'm sure it is for your family," Smith told Wills' family. Smith noted the Department of Defense's commitment to bring all service members home. "To the family and friends of Pfc. Wills, and the POWs and MIAs represented here today, I offer sincere appreciation for your strength throughout the years as you have waited for news about your loved ones," he said. "I sincerely hope that one day soon you will learn their fate,

that more Hispanics will lead in technological solutions in the future. She makes it a priority to secure funding and ensure Hispanic student needs are met as it relates to furthering their knowledge in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). "We always in America want to move up but it's not just about you getting there and achieving," said Montoya. "It's about lifting those that are coming after you. We ask that you support the efforts that are taking place here. One of the big efforts is mentoring—we know that role models really make a difference in people's lives." SHPE's vision is a world where Hispanics are highlyvaluedandinfluentialastheleadinginnovators,scientists,mathematiciansandengineers. "Look to yourself and see how you might be able to help us in mentoring young minds that have a tremendous capacity to do a lot of the cool stuff you are doing in science and technology," said Montoya. "We'll begin to increase awareness of the phenomenal impact that this organization has but we need you to mentor and we need you to reach out. If you're in an area where you can touch a child, we need you to do so.We can get to our vision
like I did, so that you too may finally be at peace." For Shekleton, the moment was bitter-
sweet. He thanked all the service members in attendance for their service and for supporting the ceremony. "We're here today to
honor Private First Class Francis Wills of the 101st Airborne, U.S. Army," he said. "Francis Wills is just one of approximately 1,700 men still missing from the Vietnam War, and he is the only one from Charles County. Raising the POW/MIA flag today in honor of Francis Wills shows as a community we will never forget him, the sacrifices him and his family has made. Someone said that dying for my country isn't the worst thing that can happen. Being forgotten is. So raising this flag today shows these men will never be forgotten." Shekleton's voice shook as he paid tribute to Wills and his service. Words of encouragement by his Rolling Thunder buddies and most of all, by Wills' family, helped him maintain composure. "Thank you for making this possible today. Thank you very much." The remarks from Wills' family, however, provided the ceremony's most poignant moments. Janice Wills Brooks, little sister of Francis Wills, thanked all who made the ceremony a reality and paid tribute to her brother. "Francis DeSales Wills; blessed memories," she said. "Of the heroes gone to rest, leave them be. Let them slumber in the hearts of those who love them, a blessed memory. In our hearts today, Francis DeSales Wills, our blessed memory. Memories of a young man and community activist destined for greatness. First youth president of the NAACP. Graduated from the segregated Bel Alton High School and later insisting that his younger brothers and sisters attend integrated Walter J. Mitchell Elementary School. 'Momma, they will get a better education,' he said. Memories of a young man who instilled hope and dreams. 'Reach for the stars,' is what he told me. 'You may not make it to the stars but reach high. Memories of a young man who looked out for his younger brothers and sisters. He told our mom 'if something happens to me, build a home for my brothers and sisters.' Memories of a young man walking away, not looking back, not accepting a ride to the bus station, walking away and not looking back. DeSales: father, brother, friend, companion. we love you. We were blessed to have you in our lives and you will always be our blessed memory."
but we need help to get to that point." NSWCDD engineers established the NSASP SHPE chapter to increase the professional opportunities available to engineers serving onboard NSFs Dahlgren and Indian Head.The chapter joins similar organizations, such as the Hispanic Association of Dahlgren, but is focused on providing professional assistance and mentoring to current and future scientists and engineers. "We are all aligning at SHPE to make sure we empower the Hispanic community to realize their potential," said Montoya. "We are encouraging elementary and high school students to fulfill their potential through STEM awareness and support so they become part of that network of solutions—that network of creative minds that move this country to being a leader in innovation." In his 2011 National Hispanic Heritage Month Presidential Proclamation, Pres. Barack Obama noted, "the future of America is inextricably linked to the future of our Hispanic community. Our country thrives on the diversity and ingenuity of all our people, and our ability to out innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world will depend greatly on the success of Hispanics." MontoyabelievesthatSHPEinitiatives—including the NSASP chapter's plans to engage in STEM outreach events and science fairs–will greatly impact that STEM success.
"We're talking about the future of this country—the young kids that really need to be inspired, that need to be encouraged, they need to believe that somebody believes in them, that they can graduate from HS and that they have the capacity to do that and to ultimately enter a university," said Montoya. "The (SHPE) chapters, the volunteers, coordinate a lot of these activities. Many times you have a child who doesn't know what STEM is, and by the time they're done, they're aware of our organization and the potential they have." According to 2010 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics comprise 16.3 percent of the total United States population, or 50.5 million people, forming our county's largest racial or ethnic minority. Additionally, it is projected that by 2050, a quarter of the nation's workforce will be Hispanic. "When you look at the population, the future, innovation, creativity and your workforce—we need to encourage and inspire individuals from the community to come and be part of this (SHPE) family," said Montoya. "The Hispanic community is growing exponentially but the numbers of graduates in engineering is not reflective of that growth. We need to begin to educate and inspire individuals to see science and technology as exciting and fun—and that they're the ones who provide technology for the future." Today, the Navy's workforce includes
more than 58,000 Hispanic active duty and reserve Sailors and officers and nearly 15,000 Hispanic civilians serve in the Navy total force, including four Hispanic flag officers and 172 Hispanic master chiefs. "What we've seen today is an investment that we're making in our youth to go help build our future which is very important if we want to continue to be a world leader," said Capt. Hall at the event's conclusion. "As our Hispanic population grows, by encouraging elementary, high school and college students now, that will get a greater effect in the future." NSASP SHPE chapter membership is open to all, regardless of ethnicity. "SHPE is all-inclusive," said Jessica Delgado, NSWCDD Hispanic employment program manager and co-founder of the NSASP SHPE Chapter. "It is not only for Hispanics, although it has 'Hispanic' in the title. I think SHPE will bring good things to the bases in Dahlgren and Indian Head, as well as the community." "We hope to encourage you to be part of our SHPE family," said Montoya. "It's $5.00 for students and $45.00 for professionals and you don't have to be an engineer or scientist to join—you can be an associate member because you believe in our cause."
