‘ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL’: A COMMUNITY REMEMBERS THE FALLEN

By Airman 1st Class Kaylee Dubois 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Kaylee Dubois

U.S. Service members and community members honor fallen heroes with a wreath at the Bronze Cross Statue Memorial Wreath Laying Ceremony at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., May 20, 2017.

The monument depicts the traditional battlefield cross with a soldier’s helmet perched on a rifle, flanked by a pair of combat boots.

U.S. service members and community members honored fallen heroes at the Bronze Cross Statue Memorial Wreath Laying Ceremony at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., May 20, 2017.

The monument was initially unveiled on May 14, 2016, to honor military members and Department of Defense civilians who passed in service to the nation.

The construction of the monument was a community partnership. The association of the U.S. Army Colonial Chapter gathered resources from local businesses and corporate partners to construct the shrine for the lost heroes. The memorial depicts a soldier’s helmet perched on a rifle, flanked by a pair of combat boots, representing the traditional “battlefield cross.”

“Last year, about this time, we stood here at Magnolia Park the day they unveiled this wonderful bronze statue, in front of many military families as we joined together in a powerful moment just like this,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Caroline M. Miller, 633rd Air Base Wing commander.

“To those families who are still standing tall, all of us here owe a tremendous debt and gratitude to you, as you continue to stand behind our nation’s fighting forces.”

To honor the fallen warriors, a wreath was laid upon the memorial in Magnolia Park while service members, Gold Star families and community members looked on. The gift of flowers at a memorial site is a ritual understood across cultures to bestow both the beauty and brevity of life – a tradition that speaks to the memories of loved ones.

“It doesn’t matter how much time has passed — no words of condolence can even begin to adequately console a survivor’s grief,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul M. Benenati, Training and Doctrine Command deputy chief of staff. “Please know we have the greatest respect and appreciation for your contributions and sacrifice. We are proud to honor you and your loved ones here today in this beautiful place that will forever mark the sacrifices that were made.”

Among the crowd were the honorably discharged veterans and first responders known as the Patriot Guard — a federally registered non-profit organization that ensures the dignity and respect for fallen military heroes at memorial services.

“Some lives are measured in time, others are measured in what they have accomplished,” said Benenati. “Your loved ones accomplished much, and they earned an eternal place in the history of our nation.”

Lifesaving tips protect motorcycle riders

By Airman 1st Class Kaylee Dubois 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 633rd Air Base Wing Safety Office hosted the Armed Forces Motorcycle Safety event and ride, at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, May 19, 2017.

The event promoted motorcycle safety and met the required annual motorcycle riders’ safety briefing that all service members must complete.

Along with encouraging safety on the road, the event helped to foster esprit de corps among military members and their civilian counterparts, as well as, motorcycle riders from the community.

“It’s a great time to come out and meet other riders,” said Dawn Joyner, 633rd Air Base Wing Safety office safety specialist and motorcycle program manager. “Riders get the chance to form that comradery with one another and learn more about riding safely.”

Whether military riders or civilians, all attendees were required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment throughout the ride, which included: a helmet, goggles or a full-face shield, long sleeved shirt or jacket, long pants and full-fingered gloves. Riders were encouraged to wear clothing constructed of abrasion resistant material such as leather or Kevlar which contains impact absorbing padding.

In addition to the annual ride, participants observed a riding demonstration by the Virginia State Police Motorcycle Unit. The unit also mapped out a motorcycle course with figure-eights and zigzags in orange safety cones for riders to test out their riding skills.

Along with the Virginia State Police, members of the Green Knights Military Motorcycle Club, helped sponsor the event and performed motorcycle safety checks on all the bikes at the event.

“One of our main focuses is to host safety events like this, as well as, mentor new riders,” Benjamin Park, Green Knights Military Motorcycle Club member. “We show them proper riding habits and safe riding habits to help them integrate into the riding community better.”

Motorcycle riders of all types, from sport bikes to cruisers, can learn their limits and find their comfort zones during these types of safety events, which is incredibly important when riding, said Park.

Regarding motorcycle rider’s welfare, the safety office also provides free motorcycle safety courses throughout the year. There are courses for riders of all skill levels, including Experienced Riders, Advanced Riders and Military Sport Bike Riders Courses.

Motorcycle safety is imperative and lifesaving, not only for two-wheeled riders, but for those who drive cars, trucks and minivans.

While motorcycle riding is encouraged, ensuring service members are riding safely is a priority for the safety office.

“I would encourage anyone to take a motorcycle course through our office as often as you can,” said Joyner. “It’s free and the more training you get, hopefully, the better and safer rider you will be.”

For more information about the event or the courses provided, contact the JBLE Safety office at 501-8224.

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war against ISIS, being accurate and effective are both key components in keeping Americans and their allies safe.

To accommodate this the F-22 recently switched from AIM-9M to AIM-9X munitions, for a good reason, as the AIM-9M is an older missile, dating back to the Vietnam War, and has many countermeasures today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The AIM-9X has newer updated technology,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Theodore Winnen, 1st Maintenance Group weapons standardization superintendent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really gives the pilots a lot more capability, as far as tracking targets at further distances and being able to take them out, where the AIM-9M is a lot more limited in what it can do.â&#x20AC;?

According to U.S. Air Force Maj. Brent, 1st Fighter Wing acting director of staff, one of the main limitation of the AIM-9M is the range of sight it has, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the AIM9X really excels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 9X brings high, off-board sight capability and that allows the seeker or missile to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; targets that are well outside the sight abilities of the 9M,â&#x20AC;? said Brent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our pilots are extremely pleased with the missiles performance and it gives them a new capability they did not have before.â&#x20AC;?

With the AIM-9X, the pilots are able to identify if it can be ďŹ red or not simply by the certain sounds it produces. While using the AIM9M it is more difďŹ cult for the pilot to determine if the missile can guarantee a proper ďŹ re due to the many variables that can affect the weapon.

Other features that AIM-9X missiles include, are the ability to maneuver more easily, built to require less maintenance and its improved camera, which allows the missile to more accurately pick up and track enemy targets.

The AIM-9X is all together a safer and more effective weapon that

Before the AIM-9X, the F-22 had the AIM-9M which dates back to the Vietnam War.

F-22 pilots now have in their arsenal. Furthermore, while times are changing, so are the weapons used in war and the 1st FW aims to stay

LAST REFUGES FOR DECLINING, RARE, ENDANGERED SPECIES

By Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

“This area is perfect,” said Karen Terwilliger, a local environmental expert, as she pointed to a part of Langley Air Force Base’s shoreline that provides, not only a natural flood barrier, but a safe area for the Diamondback Terrapin Turtle, a declining species being surveyed at Langley AFB, to lay its eggs.

According to Alicia Garcia, Colorado State University natural resource program manager for Langley AFB, surveys like the turtle survey are part of Department of Defense-wide plans and practices meant to increase the potential of preserving, and where possible enhancing, natural environments on federal lands.

“Because of those plans and regulations in place, military installations are often times last refuges for rare and endangered species,” said Garcia.

The turtle study is a part of multiple yearlong surveys conducted by the Langley Environmental team in partnership with local wildlife and environmental experts.

As the base and local team trudges through thousands of miles of the installation’s tall grasses, mud and shores, they look for ways to improve the livelihood of native species without impacting military operations.

“Military bases have a lot of protected land throughout the country—they form a really neat network,” said Terwilliger. “Obviously military missions come first, but oftentimes missions are compatible with wildlife, forestry and natural resource management.”

An example of this harmony lies in flood mitigation projects. Most notably, the shoreline restoration projects mimic natural occurrences that deter flood waters from infiltrating the base’s infrastructure while providing a habitat for native species including the terrapin. The

turtle’s preferred habitat of brackish marshes lies on Langley AFB, making its restored shores a prime nesting place for the turtles to reproduce.

We are trying to improve the quality of our shoreline by mimicking natural processes where we can,” said Garcia. “This is something JBLE-Langley realized would have a direct benefit for us as far as preserving the infrastructure and increasing the storm resiliency, as well as the quality of the natural environment.”

As to date, Langley AFB has restored 3,000 linear feet of its shoreline and plans to restore an additional 329 feet this year, providing natural flood prevention, and an added benefit of more area for the terrapins to lay eggs.

With the shoreline restoration efforts, our goals are to improve that infrastructure and increase resiliency of the base to major storms. Where possible, we want to restore areas for rare species, or declined species like the Diamondback Terrapin,” said Garcia. “There’s no (negative impact) from having some turtles on the coastline with our flight operations. If we can increase the quality of their habitat while protecting the infrastructure it’s a win, win.”

After driving and walking to different areas of the shoreline, Terwilliger added that putting up turtle crossing signs would aid in the terrapin’s and perhaps other creatures survivability as drivers running turtles over is their main cause of death.

Garcia notes that the community may notice another preventative measure — mitigating invasive vegetation. This vegetation degrades the habitat for all species as it steals resources from native plants that provide better nutrients for animals and insects.

“We’re treating for those this fall and it will improve safety by increasing visibility in training areas, and it will also enhance the natural areas,” said Garcia. “If

Langley Air Force Base’s shoreline, 3,000 linear feet of which was restored, is an ideal nesting place for the Diamonback Terrapin.

people see that it looks kind of ugly for just a little bit in the fall, if they can just be patient in the long run it will be better for the area.”

While Langley’s environmental team continues their efforts to preserve the installation’s natural habitats, they ask that the base community do their part as well by: • Paying attention to animals crossing the road especially near the coast • Not letting plastic materials into the environment; recycle or dispose as needed • Keeping water in the area clean of debris • Cleaning up pet waste as when it enters waterways it increases E.coli levels For more information about Langley environmental efforts, visit http://www.jble.af.mil/Units/Air-Force/ Langley-Environmental/.
