Community recognizes ongoing partnership with Belvoir By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir, Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce, and community partners gathered for an annual breakfast that honored their partnerships Feb. 8, at Belle Haven Country Club. The event culminated in a covenant signing, showing continued interest in growing their relationships with each other. “We appreciate the strong support you are giving to all of our active-duty military members, their families, veterans and retirees,” said Lt. Col. Chris Tomlinson, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander. “In working with our community partner, particularly the Chamber of Commerce, it’s important to the success of our overall mission at Fort Belvoir.” Using opportunities to work with the local community is something Belvoir highly values, he said. “It’s that continued bond and friendship and community engagement that serves as a driving force keeping Fort Belvoir the premiere Army installation in the National Capital Region,” Tomlinson said. The installation has seen enor-

elementary school, commissary and fire station, he said. With the new elementary school, Fort Belvoir Elementary Campus, Karen Corbett Sanders, a member of Fairfax County School Board, said Belvoir was established as a place for training and education, and now holds the largest elementary school in Fairfax County. “Here in Fairfax County, we believe that we have a covenant with our families and our children to provide a world-class education, she said. “So, to have such a premiere learning institution on Fort Belvoir … that exemplifies the covenant that Mount Vernon has with Fort Belvoir.” Belvoir houses more than 10,000 families, and more than 50,000 people work at Fort Belvoir each day, Tomlinson said. The overall economic impact the installation has on Northern Vir-
ginia is $14 billion, he added. He also thanked the business community for helping veterans who are transitioning to the civilian world. “I strongly believe that companies that make the commitment to employ these outstanding men and women, many of whom sustained life-altering injuries, sends an unwavering message to all those who volunteered to make the ultimate sacrifice,” Tomlinson said. Mount Vernon Supervisor Dan Storck said he always appreciated and values the covenant because of its focus on community. “This is natural for the chamber, natural for all of us to, at least once a year, honor those relationships, honor those partnerships, honor those things that make us better and help us become more than what we would otherwise be on our own,” he said.

Surviving minute to minute...
Suicide victim’s mother speaks of loss, future By Sgt. Nicholas T. Holmes Army Military District of Washington
As she sat at the picnic table, with her legs crossed at her ankles and hands clasped together in her lap, she looked off in the distance and smiled as she began to describe her daughter. “She was always smiling, joking and laughing,” said the mother of two. “Sometimes I just laugh when I think of her, because she was so funny. She was a princess. I still call her my Principessa, she loved it when I would call her that.” The bond between a mother and child is often revered as one of the strongest a person can experience. For many, it starts before birth and lasts a lifetime. It transcends all boundaries and can endure any force. This was certainly true for Staff Sgt. Sirlen Arriaza, an automated logistical specialist with 911th Engineer Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, and her daughter Evelin. However, nothing could have prepared Arriaza for how her life would change in June 2016. Evelin was born May 28, 1998, in Costa Rica. She was Arriaza’s and her husband’s second child. “When she was born she was very sick,” Arriaza said. “None of the doctors in Costa Rica knew what was wrong with her.” In March 2002, Arriaza’s husband’s job relocated the family to the U.S. It was then, Evelin was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and an autoimmune disorder that affected her liver. Soon after being diagnosed, Evelin became the youngest patient to undergo an experimental treatment to address her health issues. “She immediately started to get better,” said Arriaza. “I was so happy and grateful to see her become a normal child, playing and doing well in school. We still had to go to the emergency room sometimes, but even with all of that, she was so strong and never complained.” Arriaza join the Army in 2010 after receiving her permanent residence in 2009. She wanted to provide the best opportunities for her family and ensure her daughter would have access to adequate medical care. “It was important to me that she had really good health insurance, because she would even-

tually need a liver transplant,” she explained. After Arriaza completed basic and AIT, the family was stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky., where Arriaza soon deployed for the first time to Iraq in 2011. “When I came back from deployment she was 13 years old and I noticed she had changed a lot,” Arriaza remembered. “She always wanted to be with me, and also seemed to be very angry at times.” As Evelin settled further into adolescence, she began to struggle with bouts of depression and suicidal ideations. She began treatment to address her mental health concerns. When the family was stationed at Fort Carson, Colo., in March 2013, Evelin started in a private Jewish high school. She began to prosper after playing on the varsity soccer and basketball teams. The teen seemed to have a new outlook, had made new friends and began volunteering after school with a group called Girls Inc. The group tutored students who spoke English as a second language. “If you were to see her you would think that she is such a happy person with a really good heart,” Arriaza said. “She always cared a lot about others.” Evelin graduated high school in 2016, and planned to continue her education. She wanted
to one day work in the medical field and help others, like her doctors had helped her, said Arriaza. She was doing better, however continued to struggle with her mental health. In June 2016, Arriaza was stationed in Korea without her family. “She wasn’t happy when we found out I would be leaving,” said Arriaza. “When I left I remember hugging her so many times. I told her please promise me you’ll be here when I get back. She said ‘Mom go, go, go don’t be [silly]’. There was something in my heart that just didn’t feel right, but I wasn’t sure what it was.” A couple of weeks after arriving in Korea, Arriaza received a phone call from Evelin. She was sobbing and explained that she and her longtime boyfriend had an argument. “She said ‘Mom, I wish you were here, I miss you’,” Arriaza recalled. “I asked, sweetie, are you ok, do I need to wake your father? She said ‘Oh no I am just angry and upset with my boyfriend that’s all’. We talked for a while and then she told me she loved me. That was the last thing she said to me.” The next morning Arriaza was awakened by a flood of phone calls. “When I woke up that morning, I immediately knew something was wrong,” she said before pausing for a moment. “She hanged herself that night. On her mirror she left me a note that said ‘Mom, I love you’.” Arriaza immediately returned to Fort Carson on emergency leave. After reading Evelin’s diary, Arriaza learned how troubled her daughter was. “On June 15 she wrote ‘Mom, I love you. Please forgive me, but I cannot go on’,” Arriaza said. “After we read all of the messages and talked with the investigators assigned to the case, we found out about all of the abuse.” For over a year, Evelin had been emotionally abused by her boyfriend. “I knew him and he seemed like a very good boy,” she said, before shaking her head in disbelief. “I used to tell her all of the time how good I thought he was for her. I didn’t know anything about the abuse.”

Tradition Wins Editor’s note – This story ran last week with some factual errors. We regret our mistake and have rewritten the story for this issue. Belvoir Garrison employees voted on and decided Belvoir’s new insignia, but the democratic process indicated that employees like tradition, as, out of five choices, they voted to keep the installation’s existing insignia. “Asking for employees’ votes allows them to take ownership of and pride in what they do at Belvoir,” said Staci Hill-Good, a garrison strategic planner. More than 250 employees voted. “The winning logo is a nod of approval to our existing logo, which was adapted from a painting by Jackson Miles Abbott,” said Lt. Col. Chris Tomlinson, Belvoir garrison commander. “Abbott was connected to Belvoir as a Soldier and civil servant. So, the employee vote ended up selecting the classic choice.” Employees developed a new vision and mission statement at a recent conference. “Leaders in Excellence,” the new vision statement, had been used before, but not officially. Leadership decided to use the phrase as part of the new vision statement.
“Excellence is a word that indicates to each of us that there’s a high bar and that we are continually improving,” Hill-Good said. “We can always get better at what we are doing.” Belvoir’s new mission statement is to “Provide installation base support to enable readiness,” and focuses on Belvoir’s service to others. “Our main purpose as an organization is to provide base support services,” Hill-Good said, adding, “No matter our specific job title, everyone’s role is to ultimately provide a service.” “The best ideas are made when everyone gives input,” said Stephen Brooks, deputy to the garrison commander. “We wanted to update and stay current, but stay traditional, it seems, with our votes. We appreciate everyone voting.”

Military Saves Week coming up Financial Readiness Fair Feb. 28. By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Military Saves Week is from Feb. 25 - March 3, and Fort Belvoir’s Financial Readiness Program is offering classes for families to help people with their financial goals. A financial readiness fair is 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Feb. 28, in Bldg. 1263, 5965 6th St., and features six classes, including home buying, savings, investment strategies and women and money. “It’s an important time to help remind people to save, encourage people to save and talk about different strategies for savings,” said Michele Godfrey, Financial Readiness Program manager. Saving money is good for emergencies, but it’s also useful for accomplishing goals, such as saving for retirement, college or a vacation. “We have so many different changes in our lives between PCSing and moving to different states and cities,” she said, adding that the Financial Readiness Program is available to help families. The program also offers information and classes on improving and maintaining a credit score, which is important to keeping a security clearance; and how to protect you
or your family from identity theft. At the fair, financial experts will be available to help people with their money-related questions. The Financial Readiness Program, and its resources, are free. Qualified counselors are also available to work with people or families, one-on-one. During Military Saves Week, savers are encouraged to take a pledge to save money toward a financial goal, Godfrey said. The FRP is available to help you set up your savings goal and learn ways to accomplish it. In addition to financial counseling, financial readiness offers lunch and learn sessions, on a variety of financial topics. Information about Military Saves Week and Belvoir’s Financial Readiness Program is available by calling Godfrey, 571-2317025. Anyone can make a pledge to save through militarysaves.org.

Historic areas getting identified by new street signs By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Recently, the Fort Belvoir historic district underwent a minor change with new street signs. “The old street signs were no different from any other street signs found on post,” said Christine Heacock, cultural resources program manager, Directorate of Public Works. “There was nothing indicative of the street being part of the historic district. The new signs contain a decorative element to the bracket which distinguishes them from other signs on post and feature white text on the bottom that says ‘Fort Belvoir Historic District.’” The new signs were installed beginning in late 2017, she said, after going through a review process with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. The historic district on Belvoir has features that go back to 1915, Heacock said. To be historic, a location must be at least 50 years old and meet at least one of the criteria provided by the National Register of Historic Places. “However, the Fort Belvoir Historic District’s period of significance is between 1921 and 1953

The top sign shows a normal Fort Belvoir street sign for 18th Street. The bottom sign shows the new street sign with the historical designation on the Middleton Street sign. and meets two of the criteria for the National Register: it is associated with the primary mission of military education and embodies how the Army incorporated popular architectural styles and
community planning ideas of the time,” she said. Besides the buildings, there are other elements considered to be historic, including the parade ground, Heacock said.
You can tell if a building on post is historic by looking for a historic marker. Most historic locations on Belvoir carry a historic marker, she said. The street signs will also help make the district more obvious. “For example, there is an historic marker off of Gunston Road that gives the history of Gerber Village right after you enter the area,” Heacock said. “However, unless someone is looking out for markers or has previous knowledge, they won’t likely know they’re in the district. The street signs will help eliminate the ambiguity.” The district is reviewed and monitored frequently. The post also is obligated to factor in the effects of actions it takes on cultural resources like the district, she said. The historic district is important to Belvoir because it represents the post’s collective history and contributions to the U.S. starting in World War I, she said. “Part of the reason why the post has a cultural resource manager is to ensure that historic elements are not lost, but instead preserved for future generations,” Heacock said.
Suicide, Continued from page A2 Arriaza feels that the abuse compacted with her daughter’s ongoing medical issues was more than her fragile daughter could bare. “We were always close, like crazy close, but I didn’t realize how troubled she was,” said Arriaza. “She didn’t ask for help. She acted like everything is OK.” After her daughter’s suicide, Arriaza’s doctors and leadership determined it was in her best interest to be stationed in a unit with better access to treatment to address her needs. On March 3, 2017, she arrived at Belvoir. “For a long time, I didn’t deal with my daughter’s suicide,” she recalled. “I tried really hard, but I just couldn’t. During that time the only thing I wanted to do was to die. I would fall asleep every night asking God not to let me wake up. I was very depressed and I couldn’t see my life going on. I truly wanted to die. All I could do was survive one minute to the next, because I knew I had to keep going for my son.” She was referred to both inpatient and outpatient treatments. “When I went to behavioral health, I would go through the motions and tell the doctors I wasn’t at risk of hurting myself,” she said. “I don’t think I was, but at that time I did think about dying a lot.” Arriaza turned to the internet seeking answers. She read countless articles and blogs written by loved ones of suicide victims and survivors. “That depressed me more,” said Arriaza. “Many of the blogs were about mothers that lost their jobs and neglected their other children. At that time it felt like there was this hole that was constantly in front of me and all I wanted to do is jump in it.”
Six months after her daughter’s suicide, Arriaza met with a mother who lost her son 18 years prior. “She told me that after losing her son she didn’t get out of her bed for the first four years and ended up losing her job,” Arriaza said, with a stunned expression. “She began crying uncontrollably, as we spoke, like it had just happened.” Arriaza was overwhelmed with the grief she was experiencing, she was desperate to find a way to adjust to the tragedy she had experienced. In November, Arriaza attended the Soldier 360 Leaders Course, weeklong training hosted by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington on Joint Base Myer - Henderson Hall. The course uses a holistic approach to equip leaders with life skills in all areas of resiliency. It focuses on enhancing strength in leaders while providing relevant and essential tools to help them lead Service members. “In the class they talked about how matter isn’t destroyed, it’s only transferred,” she said. “That’s what I think about [Evelin’s] pain. The pain she was feeling was transferred to me and everyone who loved her the most. I am now carrying her pain on top of the pain for losing her.” The course was a turning point for Arriaza’s grieving process. “With this class and continuing my therapy, I really started to try to forgive myself and understand there was nothing I could have done different,” Arriaza said. “Could I have stayed here and not gone to Korea? Maybe, but I don’t know that for sure. It still hurts, but I am not at the place where I want to die.”
She is still traveling on her journey through the grief process, however she has begun to see all of the light around her. “Now I can see my son and I want to see him get married and have kids,” she said, as her eyes lit up with excitement. “I want to meet my grandchildren one day. Before I couldn’t even think that far. It still hurts, but now I have found reasons to live.” She feels the Army kept her from falling deeper in her depression. “I love my career and my unit,” said Arriaza. “The best thing the military did for me was it forced me to get up every day to come to work and see people, talk to people. My leadership encouraged me to get the help I needed. I am thankful, because if I was a civilian I am not sure that would have been the case.” Arriaza feels she is now ready to get involved and help others. She offers this advice to those who have experienced similar losses. “The pain will never fade or go away,” she said, as her voice quivered. “But, you will learn what it feels like to live with this pain and you will one day be able to feel blessed for the time you had with that person. That’s why now, I try to enjoy every moment I have with a person. I don’t let people get me upset anymore. After her death I just can’t … there isn’t anything important enough now. “You may find yourself in that dark hole, but, just survive for that one minute, then for that hour, and then that day. It is not only about being alive, it is about living, about finding the small light inside you that makes you want to live. It took me 17 months to find a tiny light, but I did it and so can you. Your life is a gift.”

I realize this year’s Super Bowl was nearly two weeks ago, and as fast as things move these days, the Eagles’ upset victory over the Patriots has probably already faded into the back pages of old news (except maybe, in Philadelphia itself). Still, ever since the game, I’ve been thinking about something that emerged during the post-game festivities that restored my faith somewhat in people (well, some of them, anyway). Make no mistake, the fact that Tom Brady and the Patriots got beaten fairly and squarely was enough to keep a smile on my face for an entire week. I just don’t think I could’ve endured another off season listening to people rave about how great this franchise is and how Brady is the greatest QB ever to step onto the gridiron— greater than Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Roger Staubach, Sonny Jurgenson, Sammy Baugh, Bart Starr and Brett Favre, etc. But the thing that really kept my attention during the awarding of the Vince Lombardi trophy and the coach and player interviews was the Eagles’ obvious commitment to faith. Interestingly, everyone—from Head Coach Doug Peterson and franchise owner Jeff Lurie to Nick Foles, Zach Ertz and several others—displayed a profound sense of Christian humility and thankfulness, openly crediting God for the victory. I thought that an impressive approach, especially in a league normally colored by talk of contracts, salaries, trade options and draft picks. In fact, I can’t remember Jesus Christ ever being mentioned in post-game discussion. Now, I’m not a religious person, but I’ve always admired Jesus’ teachings; his concern for others; his commitment to peace, truth and justice; and his desire to lift up and heal the poor, the downtrodden, the persecuted, the afflicted and the marginalized. I suppose it just hit me as a breath of fresh air in this retail, self-advancement, corporate-ladder, profit-margin, stock-portfolio, big-data, mutualfund, dot-com culture. At any rate, with a foundation like that, the Eagles deserve any good winning this year’s Super Bowl brings, not only in seasons to come but in the players’ lives. It’s kind of funny how these rare displays of decency—like a simple wave from a stranger—stands out nowadays.
