By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle fter more than a decade of planning, designing, and construction, Fort Belvoir’s Lieber Gate offers another high-flow access point into the installation with improved security. Situated on Richmond Highway across from Pence Gate, Lieber Gate is the new point of access for all commercial vehicles, replacing Tulley Gate as the 24-hour access point. At the ribbon cutting ceremony Friday, Col. Michael Greenberg, garrison commander, spoke about the massive scope of this project. “This gate was truly a partnership not just across the community, but across the entire DoD to make this happen,” said Greenberg. “I’m at the tail end and get the honor to cut the ribbon, but there are so many people before I arrived to make this happen.” “Every day Lieber Gate will help the community and the people who U.S have Army photo Dominique Dixon work, live and play here on Fort Belvoir.

RSO provides fellowship to Families Chaplains and volunteers serve up meals and movies to Displaced Families By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle
Photos by Paul Lara
Chaplain (Maj.) Luis Garayua welcomes temporarily displaced residents to the first monthly dinner at Woodlawn Chapel, Friday.
“It’s about community,” said Chaplain (Maj.) Luis Garayua. That was the sentiment that spurred volunteer support for Families that have been temporarily displaced from their homes for life, health and safety repairs, such as mold mitigation. Ashley Fischer, Displaced Family Liaison, Belvoir Housing Advocacy Group, had been displaced herself for six weeks, and that made her realize the need to see what the other Families needed, and to be there as a support system. Even when living in quarters with a kitchenette, Fischer said Family dinners can be challenging. “You don’t remember to pack spices, and sometimes you leave all your groceries at the house when you’re told you have to leave in a couple hours, that’s the last thing you think of,” she said. Fischer thought it would be nice for everyone to get together and create some community, so she asked Chaplain (Maj.) Luis Garayua, Woodlawn Chapel’s community pastor, for help. “This is something, as a chapel community, that we can take ownership of and show support,” Garayua said. The Catholic Women of the Chapel and Knights of Columbus offered to serve the meals and visit Fort Belvoir families enjoy with the Families for the evening. a dinner prepared for them Half of the chapel was set up for dinthrough the Religious Services Office at Woodlawn ing, and the other half was set up for the kids to run around and watch Chapel, Friday.
movies after dinner. “This lets the adults have time to share with one another, and build that resilience that is so important in a time of stress,” said Garayua. Nathaniel Mack, a scout with Troop 2501, brought an unexpected surprise to the evening. For his community scouting badge, he decided to help, when he learned that one of his friends had been displaced. “I made flyers asking people if they wanted to donate books or board games for the Families to enjoy,” said Mack. His outreach provided about 40 books and games for the Families to take with them when they left that evening. Because of volunteer outreach, this community dinner will be a monthly event at Woodlawn Chapel.

F
ort Belvoir Garrison, in conjunction with Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, will take part in an exercise next week as part of the annual Military District of Washington’s Capital Shield 2019 Exercise. Capital Shield is an interagency exercise that combines local military and civilian emergency services to improve joint readiness and interoperability between a variety of military and civilian agencies, if an emergency happens, said John Backus, Fort Belvoir DPTMS contingency plans specialist. The drill also includes Fairfax County personnel and will include mock mass casualties. “The garrison is extending an invitation to the Fairfax County Emergency Management Team to observe our processes,” Backus said, “which will hopefully lead to future interactions between the
Fairfax County Emergency Management and Fort Belvoir Garrison teams. Garrison’s participation in Capital Shield this year is Sept. 5, 7:30 a.m. to noon at the Belvoir Golf Club and the hospital campus. According to Backus, the exercise on Belvoir takes place in five stages. “Garrison personnel will start the exercise at the Golf Club at 7:30 a.m.,” he said. “Fort Belvoir Fire Department will conduct cross decontamination, while Belvoir’s Directorate of Emergency Services will perform triage operations and initiate ‘patient’ evacuation. This portion of the overall exercise will run 7:30-7:50 a.m.” After the initial emergency response is completed at the Golf Club, operations move to Belvoir Hospital. “Fort Belvoir Community Hospital will initiate mass-casualty activities, which will include security operations; continued decontamination; triage; treatment; medical evacuation operations and deployment of the Hospital Incident Command System,” Backus said. The HICS system was developed in the 1980s as a foundation response to emergency events in and around hospitals. The HICS plan is used around the U.S. and internationally, as a way to prepare for emergency and non-emergency situations. The exercise ends at noon at the hospital campus.

Women’s Equality relies on more opportunities Army Cyber top enlisted leader: work at highest level

Lyon said when she walks into a room of people, she does a head count to see how many leaders there are women. “I look to see what the demographics look like. I will tell you, it’s not anywhere near half,” said Lyon. “If you think about it, America’s population is 51% women, yet women only make up 23% of Congress. “The presence and importance of women in the workforce became prominent during World War I, with women taking on work roles, while men were overseas serving their country,” Lyon said. “ They replaced men in the workforce; vol-

unteered in relief organizations and even served in some positions in the military. They proved their patriotism, making it harder after the war for anyone to say, ‘“You don’t deserve to vote.’” Lyon also said that if women do not routinely occupy leadership roles, that lack of opportunity can bolster false assumptions about how qualified women are to fill a position. After the Army opened all branches to women, those opportunities became learning moments for leadership. In artillery, Lyon contended, women make the best fire-support officers out there. Lyon said this is no time for complacency, as participation rates are actually declining in some areas. “What I am seeing is that not as many young girls are getting involved in STEM as we would like. I’m hoping it’s because they don’t feel like they have to. But it concerns me. “Equality is truly the unfinished business of the 21st Century,” said Lyon. “Abolishing all kinds of discrimination in our societies is the responsibility of everyone, regardless of gender, economic, political or social status. The best way of ensuring equality is to start living it, and asking ourselves what each one of us can do to contribute to an equal society where all individuals, regardless of any external attributes, can live and thrive without any discrimination. “I’m often asked, ‘what do you hope your legacy is from your time in the Army?” said Lyon. “I hope I’ve made it easier, in some small way, to be judged on your capabilities – not your gender, sexual preference or age – but your capabilities.”

Alertness and obeying the law critical to bus-stop safety Drivers urged to stay alert for children and buses potential harm. This is especially true during the boarding and off-boarding of passengers at bus stops, where the most important school bus safety rule is enforced.
Stop means stop

elvoir children have returned to school and the complexion of the installation’s already busy roadways has, once again changed, with many buses making frequent stops around the same time employees are making their way into the office. The Belvoir Safety Office strongly urges drivers to keep alert, drive within posted speed limits and, most importantly, heed stopped school buses that have their stop signs deployed and red lights engaged. According to IDriveSafely.com, an online driver education resource, school bus safety may be the most important rule that gets constantly overlooked. School buses are protected incredibly well under U.S. traffic law, and for good reason: we trust these vehicles to transport our kids safely to and from schools. Without proper laws and standards in place to protect school buses, we would be putting children in immense
According to the Fort Belvoir Directorate of Emergency Services, passing a stopped school bus that’s in the process of picking up or dropping off children is a serious offense that can have long-reaching ramifications for the offending driver. “Passing a stopped bus on Belvoir violates Virginia Code 46.2-859 and results in a mandatory court appearance,” said Sgt. Mitchell Cale, Fort Belvoir Police Department. Furthermore, passing a stopped school bus comes with steep fines and penalties, no matter what part of the country you live in. This includes points being added to your record, and typically not an insignificant amount; a possible reckless driving and/or driving on the wrong side of the road charge; hefty fines; potential license suspension; and/or a large increase in insurance premiums. The laws around school bus stops are generally the same throughout the nation. If you’re on the same side of the road as the bus in a residen-

tial or non-highway area, there are no exceptions – you must stop if the bus stops, and resume moving when the bus signals it’s appropriate. For most states, this also extends into the opposite side of the road as well, especially if it’s a small two-lane road. When a school bus is at a full stop with stop signs out and lights flashing, it indicates the most crucial point in school bus safety, as kids are exiting and entering the bus, and they may not be aware of other vehicles on the road.
Take your time, be aware Cale said that safely navigating Belvoir’s roads during the school season comes down to vigilance, patience and common sense. “Drivers just need to have patience,” Cale said. “The buses are going to be running around just about everywhere on post. Wherever there’s a village, there’s probably going to be a school bus or two around there. And, for the children, always remember to look both ways when crossing the street and be cognizant of vehicles around you. Everybody’s unpredictable.” For more information on school bus safety, call the Belvoir Safety Office, 703-806-3447 or the Fort Belvoir Police Department, 703-8064277.

efore students and parents arrived for the first day of school at Fort Belvoir Elementary School, teams of volunteers had decorated the sidewalks and brick walls of the school with notes of encouragement, such as “you are never too old or to cool to be kind;” “you are kind, smart and important;” “never doubt yourself;” and “reach 4 the stars.” Many parents chose to escort their child to school on this first day, instead of letting them ride the bus, which caused parking chaos and backed up the busses trying to finish their route, but extra police were on hand to manage the morning. Kara Faye, the STEAM coach, was manning a door at Fort Belvoir Primary, to help students find their classrooms. “The first day of school is always exciting. We’re greeting the students and helping them remember where their rooms are and helping them find a teacher. It’s great to see kids we haven’t seen all summer,” said Faye. Col. Michael Greenberg, Garrison commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Young, were just inside the door to give an enthusiastic start to this big day, giving high-fives to students on their way in. “This is what our community is made of – our youth and our children. The first day of school is always a great event,” said Greenberg. Photos by Paul Lara

Support cancer awareness by running, volunteering at BREAST CANCER 5K By Rick Musselman Sports Editor
F
ort Belvoir Community Hospital will again support breast cancer awareness and research during the 7th annual 5K run/walk, Oct. 19 on the main hospital campus. The race begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends with a FBCH presentation. The event, which came about as the result of a partnership between MWR and the Belvoir Hospital Oncology Department, recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month and increases the community’s knowledge about the disease. Last year, more than 1,000 Service members and civilians participated and, according to Anthony Leon, Belvoir fitness program specialist and event coordinator, volunteers are also needed. A FBCH press release states the race is designed to remind women of the importance of regular breast health screenings. On average, two to three patients are diagnosed with breast cancer at the hospital each month, and more than 200,000 patients are affected annually. When found and treated early, the cure rates for breast cancer are very high, said Lt. Col. Andreas Lindenberg, FBCH chief of oncology, at last year’s event.

Fort Belvoir community members leave the starting gate of the annual FBCH Breast Cancer Awareness 5K run/walk. This year’s event is Oct. 19 and registration is open. “Early detection of breast cancer ensures the best outcome,” Lindenberg said. “We recommend women begin having annual mammograms at age 40 and continue to do so as long as they’re in good health, but women of all ages should do regular self-exams, and address any concerns with their doctor.” The 5K is open to all active-duty Soldiers, mobilized/ADOS. National Guard/Reserve Component Soldiers and DoD civilians of the local community. Online registration is available https://www. raceentry.com/races/mwr-fbch-breast-cancerawareness-5k/2019/register. The following categories will receive awards: fastest male runner; fastest female runner; fastest wheeled (stroller or wheelchair) participant; fastest child; fastest walker; best dressed (by vote); and participant wearing the most pink (by vote). The event also features face-painters and informational booths. For more information, call 703-805-4430 or visit https://belvoir.armymwr.com.
