If using a candle with a flame, keep it away from walkways or places where it could ignite clothing or curtains. â&#x20AC;˘ Costumes should be flame retardant and fit properly. Avoid oversize shoes, high heels and long skirts or pants that could cause a child to fall. Masks are not recommended. Always choose non-toxic and hypoallergenic make-up if children want to decorate their face. â&#x20AC;˘ Serve kids a healthy dinner before trick-or-treating so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill up on candy.

By now, kids are back into the swing of school, reestablishing seats in the cafeteria, slipping prohibited gum paraphernalia into their pockets, and whispering in the hallways about the latest crushes. Not every kid, however, is happily skipping off the bus each day. Military-connected children move three times more often than their civilian peers,

which means thousands of them in the U.S. and overseas are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new kidsâ&#x20AC;? at school this year. Many experience stress, fear and sadness. Imagine how awkward they feel while trying to find a seat on the bus, getting lost on the way to science class and wondering who â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be their friend. My daughters have generally benefitted from our military moves, but they were a bit more quirky for our son. Diagnosed with major developmental delays as a tod-

dler, Hayden was not like his peers. With each move, he was received with mixed reactions. In Germany, he became known as a funny character who everyone wanted to know. In Florida, he was perceived as odd, a reputation he was unable to shake. He ate lunch alone most days and made no lasting friendships at school. By the end of our two-year tour, he was showing symptoms of social anxiety, prompting us to seek medical advice. Mercifully, Hayden became a veritable celebrity at his last school, where students and teachers thought he was hilarious,

Unfortunately, quite a few experience nightmares after watching these films and may not be able to discern make-believe from reality. The pediatric clinic often sees children with sleep problems resulting from scary movies that were inappropriate for their age. To promote safety, PMO personnel will conduct vehicle and bike patrols throughout Halloween evening. Volunteers from military units on post also will be walking through neighborhoods to discourage potentially harmful behavior. Law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity. Residents are encouraged to notify military and/or Department of the Army Civilian Police patrols on site or call (804) 7347400 if they have additional concerns or safety issues.

also promotes safety by illuminating walkways and making potential tripping hazards visible. Along those same lines, residents can help by picking up anything a child could trip over like garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations, and sweeping wet leaves from the sidewalk and steps. A parent or a responsible adult should always accompany young children during the neighborhood rounds while trick-or-treating. Notify the Fort Lee Police of any lost children whose sponsor cannot be readily located. Other Halloween-related tips offered by the Provost Marshal Office and Wilkerson Pediatric Clinic at Kenner include the following: â&#x20AC;˘ When pumpkin-carving with children, let them draw shapes and faces with a marker and re-

The speed limit in all housing areas is 15 miles-per-hour, however, motorists should drive even slower in areas where children are present and pay extra attention when passing vehicles parked along the curb as they may obscure excited youngsters and other pedestrians crossing the street.

For the 266th Quartermaster Battalion’s 508th Transportation Company, the life of the operation rests with the truckmaster, the Soldier charged with juggling personnel, equipment and schedules as it relates to supporting missions for the Chief of Transportation, Quartermaster School and the Army Logistics University among others. A large workload, fast-pace operations and a never-ending sense of urgency are factors that accompany such a diverse pool of customers, said 508th truckmaster Sgt. 1st Class Brian Garrett. But none of those were present during the 508th-hosted 266th QM Bn. Truck Rodeo that took place Oct. 8 in the company parking lots. It was, in fact, a respite from the normal routine, said Garrett. “The idea behind the Truck Rodeo was to showcase what the battalion can do in terms of logistical support, but it also was the means to build esprit de corps among the Soldiers, allowing them to show what they do on a daily basis,” he said. The Truck Rodeo – the moniker given to a traditional Trans Corps event bringing together people, skills and vehicles – featured categories for the Light Medium Tactical Vehicle, Humvee and passenger bus along with a written test. The vehicle contests took place on courses about the size of a football field where drivers had to maneuver around traffic cones. Time, safety practices and how well they negotiated the driving area were factors in the grading process. Spc. Melissa Jenkins, who has been assigned to the unit since January 2014, was among several 508th Soldiers and roughly 30 others from QM units that participated. She came away with the acquisition of additional skills as a result of the competition, she said. “I learned a lot,” said Jenkins following the LMTV event, noting she shored up her skills prior to the event. “I learned how to back

up a water buffalo and a trailer. Backing up was easy but driving in a serpentine (pattern during the LMTV course) was not.” Drivers in the Humvee and LMTV events were required to pull a trailer and 400-gallon Water Buffalo through the courses, respectively. Staff Sgt. Travis Cahchere, a platoon sergeant and safety NCO for the events, said there were a few commonalities among drives who performed best. “Driving experience, knowing

the capability of the vehicle and regular practice” were assets he said were most critical in negotiating the course. Spc. Stephen Green, a 508th Soldier who said he had never competed in a truck rodeo, completed the Humvee course in three minutes, 31 seconds, a time competitive with many others but one that caused some chagrin. “I had a couple of battle buddies who did better,” he said. The spirit of friendly competition to improve skills, unit cama-

raderie and an occasion to help the installation better understand the 508th’s capabilities were all important messages the event successfully conveyed, said Lt. Col. Scott B. Kindberg, commander, 266th QM Bn. None, however, were better than “seeing the Soldiers get excited about what they do,” he said. Capt. Dyke Johnson III, commander, 508th QM Co., said his Soldiers deserve the warmth of the spotlight due to demands as the only trans unit at Fort Lee.

“We wanted to set aside one day in which we could focus on these Soldiers and showcase their skills and what they do best, “ he said, “and, at the same time, build esprit de corps and just get away from the grind of the usual to do something fun.” Other attractions featured at the event included a family support group-hosted chili-cook off that drew numerous family members, and a team of Soldiers who offered motorcycle safety information.

Single parent support, spouse employment among topics at annual AFAP conference Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor

The 2015 Army Family Action Plan conference came to a close Oct. 8 with an outbrief at Liberty Chapel that was attended by command teams from across the installation. Brig. Gen. Ronald Kirklin, Quartermaster General, participating on behalf of Maj. Gen. Darrell Williams, commanding general, CASCOM and Fort Lee, and Col. Paul Brooks, garrison commander, were among those available to talk about the elevated issues during the event. The conference participants were divided into three groups that determined four submitted issues were the most important to pursue. During the outbrief, the delegates created skits to illustrate their issues. The first work group – Family Support – decided to elevate an issue that would create a single-parent support group that included more of the population like spouses of deployed military members. In the discussions afterward, Patricia Harper, director, Family Advocacy Program, Army Community Service, said the installation had a support group for a year and it broke up in 2014 due to lack of participation. Kirklin said he believed the program would be beneficial and needed more command emphasis, and this was an issue that Fort Lee could definitely support. The second work group – Force Support – elevated two topics: open access to dining facilities to community members and work on a traffic intersection on the installation that causes confusion. Under the dining facility recommendation, the group said the Samuel Sharpe Dining Facility on the Ordnance Campus is underutilized by 26 percent and should be opened to all military members, Department of Defense Civilians and contractors. Brooks said the suggestion has been brought up before, but isn’t feasible at this point because the remaining dining facilities are over 100 percent utilization and the DFAC contractor may not be able to support the change. Funding for a new DFAC in the 23rd Quartermaster Brigade area is being sought with possible construction beginning in the next few years. Brooks said the garrison could look at the suggestion again once it opens.

The other Force Support issue involves the intersection near the Soldier Support Center where motorists on C Avenue have a flashing red light while those going through the intersection on Mahone have a flashing yellow signal. People unfamiliar with the installation may believe the intersection is a four-way stop and the group suggested extra monitoring by the Provost Marshal Office and additional education on navigating the intersection. Brooks responded saying during the next traffic study, he would direct those involved to review this intersection. For the last issue, the work group – Employment – said there is a glitch with the Spouses’ Priority Placement Program. Created through an executive order in 2008, it starts when a Soldier receives orders to a new installation and gives spouses a special priority for 24 months. Since the orders can be cut several months before a military member in-processes to a new station, the priority placement may not extend for a full 24 months. The work group suggested a change to the executive order to start when the service member arrives on station. During the discussion, Kirklin said it would definitely be a suggestion they would send to the next command level as executive orders cannot be changed at the local level, but additional education about the program should be emphasized so spouses can learn of the program earlier. It also was mentioned the 24-month limitation only applied to appropriated fund employment, and that non-appropriated fund opportunities offered spouses priority placement for the entire length of the service member’s assignment for certain positions. For additional details, contact the installation Civilian Personnel Advisory Center. Kirklin thanked everyone for attending and said this type of conference is important to improving the quality of life for the community. “General Williams wanted to be here, and you know him, he’s very involved with the quality of life of family members,” said Kirklin. “I want to recognize the entire team who participated in these work groups. This is my second conference on Fort Lee, and the skits are just getting better. These groups really highlight issues affecting our community and are really important.”

Family: single Your personality strengths: “I’m outgoing and patient. I like to see the good in the worst situations, and I like to make people laugh.” Your personality weaknesses: “Sometimes when something bad happens, I tend to beat myself up for it.” Hobbies: “I’m a soccer coach for 3 to 5-year-olds. I love kids.” Worst fear: “Heights.” Pet peeve: “People who chew with their mouths open. One person you admire: “Sgt. 1st Class (Brian) Garrett. Since he got to the unit, he’s hit

the ground running. He makes things better, and while he’s doing that, he’s teaching us along the way. Anytime you run to him, he’ll take the time to teach you step-by-step so you can get better at it.” The celebrity or historical figure you would like to meet: “Michelle Rodriguez (who costarred in the ‘Fast and Furious’ movie series). In the majority of action movies, you don’t find women who do what the guys do. That’s why I think I would like to meet her. She’s always out there doing the same things and doing them even better.” One lesson you like sharing with others: “To never lie; always tell the truth. I know growing up, I would try to get out of situations with my parents, and I would sometimes lie to get out of it so I figured it’s so much better telling the truth.”

Your music preference: “I like oldies; low-rider oldies like the (music of) the Temptations. I grew up with my parents and grandparents listening to oldies. I don’t like the majority of the new music because I wasn’t raised with it.” Your biggest regret: “I honestly don’t have any regrets because I feel everything happens for a reason – how God intended it to happen.” One life-changing moment: “Probably the moment I learned by grandma had cancer. It was something that let me know life’s too short. It came out of nowhere, and I lost my aunt two years prior to that. My grandmother meant everything to me. She was my role model.” How you define success: “Something you have to work hard to achieve; something that doesn’t come easy.”

What it means to serve your country: “It’s a good feeling knowing not everyone can serve. Only a small percentage can do this, and I’m one of them.” Why you joined the Army: “My grandmother. It started out with my parents. My dad did 23 years and my mom did eight. Then, my brother joined and he’s working on his fifth year. The look on my grandmother’s face when my brother joined – she was so excited. She was like, ‘You should do it too,’ and I was like, ‘OK.’ That was my last promise to her. I told her I would keep it.” Your feeling upon completing the oath of enlistment: “It felt great knowing I would walk in the footsteps of my parents

MILITARY MOVES | ‘It has a lot to

do with how parents handle changes’ Continued from Page 2 test scores; about decisions to homeschool or the active duty parent moving away without the rest of the family to minimize the social and academic impact on their kids. The comments ran the gamut of tears, trauma, strength and adaptability. I thought I’d find a consensus, but I discovered opinions as diverse as the kids themselves. These are just a few of the testimonials: “Moving was never easy. I spent the first three months at my new base high school in Germany eating lunch alone in the library and holing up in my bedroom AOL Instant Messaging my old friends from middle school. Still, I reacted better than a lot of kids I know, whose constant moving around caused them to resort to acting out/ trying out drugs and alcohol, etc. I’m super grateful for all the experiences it gave me and the amazing families we’ve met. I want to spend a lot of my young adult life traveling, but as soon as I have kids, I want to be stationary. I don’t want them to have to move around, especially in high school.” Emma, Air Force dependent, age 22. “(Changing schools) ultimately makes (kids) better able to handle changes life

will throw at them. They think on their feet better, make strong, lifelong friendships quickly and learn about the importance of community ... ” Ciara, Navy spouse, 40. “Younger kids may be more outwardly upset but adjust very quickly. Older kids seem to take longer to warm up to their new surroundings.” Amy, Army Reserve spouse, 45. “How kids handle changes in schools (has a lot to do with) how parents handle new experiences ... They mirror our behavior and can pick up on our stress.” Liz, 43, Army spouse. “(As a Navy kid,) I loved moving around the country because if I had a bad experience at one school, I just had to stick it out a couple of years before we’d move on. I feel it has made me ... able to deal with the stresses of military life. In fact, I’m a little worried when my husband retires and we have to pick a place to live forever!” Karyl, Navy spouse, 39. Despite the challenges of changing schools, the good news is military families are determined to find their own strategy to cope with them. As Army mom, Liz, put it, “Just be there for your kids ... even if it’s just to listen and give a positive word of encouragement.”

Doing so can increase quality of air we breath

hile many are familiar with the term ozone, it is important to know the difference between atmospheric and ground-level ozone and how human activities can impact each. The ozone season is when ground-level ozone reaches its highest concentration in the air, and runs from June 1 Aug. 31. By implementing mindful practices year-round, those

who work here have the ability to greatly improve the air quality in the region. Atmospheric (good) ozone is found 6-30 miles into the earth’s atmosphere where it forms a protective layer to shield everyone from harmful cancer-causing ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, ground-level (bad) ozone is not directly released into the air but is a product of reactions between nitrogen oxides, volatile organic

compounds and sunlight. Some of the major sources of NOx and VOCs come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline vapors, industrial facilities, as well as the use of chemical solvents. Ground-level ozone is known to cause a variety of health concerns such as chest pain, coughing, throat and lung irritation, and congestion, as well as complicating conditions like bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. These

symptoms could be written off as allergies when actually they are preventable conditions being caused by the population’s own actions. What can Team Lee do to limit the formation of ground-level ozone and make Fort Lee a better place to live and breathe? Since the major sources of NOx and VOCs come from vehicle exhausts, there are many ways to significantly decrease air pollution. • Limit idling – DOD policy restricts idling in government vehicles to 30 seconds. If drivers are going to be away from their vehicle for more than 30 seconds, shut the engine off. The reasoning is the energy consumed to start a vehicle is equivalent to the amount of energy consumed during 30 seconds of idling. Idling vehicles for more than 30 seconds wastes energy. This is a practice the whole community should implement to conserve resources and limit vehicle exhaust emissions, not only at Fort Lee, but in personal vehicles as well. • Consolidate trips – think of all of the places needed to go for the day before heading out so less time can be spent making separate trips. Try to avoid areas where there is increased idling such as drive-thru’s at banks and restaurants. • Choose to be active – make those short expeditions on foot or bike. Not only are individuals reducing the emissions

normally produced by a vehicle, but they’re getting daily exercise in as well. Who knew people could get in shape and shape up the environment at the same time! • Alternative Transportation – carpooling can be a great solution for reducing the number of vehicles on the roads while saving money. For those who live close to their place of employment, commuting by bicycle also is an excellent option. Not to mention, government employees who use alternative transportation are eligible for a grant to go toward the associated expenses. For more information on obtaining this grant or to get in contact with other Fort Lee commuters in the area who are interested in carpooling, contact Fort Lee’s Mass Transportation Benefit Program manager at (804) 765-1496. It all starts with the one individual. By implementing some of these simple practices, people can take this situation into their hands and be surprised at how much of a positive impact one person can make. The difference starts with the individual. For more information about ozone and air pollution control efforts, contact Fort Lee’s Environmental Management Division. – EMD

Lee Holland, an Army Logistics University employee, stands within the confines of The Motor Pool, his personal tribute to the wheeled tactical vehicles of World War II. The facility is home to 14 WWII-era vehicles in various states of restoration. It is located in the Enon area of Chesterfield Country and is about eight miles from Fort Lee.

“

It’s available and it’s free. All you have to do is drive out here, put a nickel in my slot and away I go.” The invitation, courtesy of Army Logistics University administrator Lee Holland, almost dares prospective visitors to venture into The Motor Pool, his vision-come-to-fruition historical tribute to World War II-era tactical wheeled vehicles that also is a passionate statement of personal pursuit. Holland is clear on why his life’s work is critical from a historical perspective. “It’s important to me because there’s no other effort in the Army itself or anywhere else that is doing this type of work,” said the 63-year-old. “They don’t have the time, the money or de-

ALU employee passionately shares history of World War II tactical wheeled vehicles sire” to showcase vehicles being restored to working order that could generate a greater sense of appreciation for their development, design and operation. The Motor Pool is located about eight miles north of Fort Lee in the Enon area of Chesterfield County. Roughly 2,100 square-feet in size, it is both a working garage and museum that sits on a patch of former farmland situated on the edges of a quiet residential neighborhood. The building’s design, which features four maintenance bays, is based on WWII-era motor pools built at installations all over the country, including Fort Lee. Within the facility, there are 14 U.S. Army wheeled vehicles in various stages of restoration, in-

cluding a first-production WillysOverland Jeep and Dodge command car and ambulance. There also is a GMC two and one-half ton truck. If the inventory is not sufficiently enticing, there are period fans and real issues of Stars and Stripes newspapers lining the walls. There are plenty of vehicle photographs to study as well as a display featuring rare images of women in dresses working on the Jeep production lines. Lastly, coverall-clad mannequins frozen in action poses dot the garage floor, including a parts clerk sitting at a desk lit by an industrial light fixture holding a carbon-filament light bulb. Even the tools that lie about the work

areas are from the era, contributing to a visual exactness that is both mind-boggling and freakish. “When you walk through that door, I want you to think that it’s 1943 – World War II is raging on two fronts and you’re now in a motor pool on any installation in the U.S.,” said Holland. The 2007-built motor pool also includes a parts storage and library boasting hundreds of books and technical manuals, especially those pertaining to the vehicles garaged in The Motor Pool. Retired Army Maj. Roy Ray, an expert logistician who also is employed at ALU, said his first visit to The Motor Pool struck him like a hammer on thoughts of what it took to create such a

facility. “It’s hard to imagine an individual, who, with his own resources, could build this motor pool and restore all of those vehicles,” said Ray. “I was just a bit overwhelmed an individual could do that.” The fact Holland and three others built The Motor Pool using blueprints of actual WWIIera Army motor pools; that it is home to several rare vehicles that are fully restored; and that it is a place where thoughtful consideration was given to almost every detail suggests a painstaking effort to get it right ... to honor a time when the Army fielded the first vehicles manufactured to military specifications. They also suggest an undeniable passion in Holland, a man not only driven to find and restore period military vehicles but one who expends a comparable amount of energy sharing their histories. It all began during his childhood growing up in Baltimore. One of three children of a father who served during WWII as an ordnance officer (the armament side) and a homemaker, Holland said he was always interested in how things worked. “I’ve always liked the mechanical aspects of things,” he said. “I like trying to figure out how things are put together.” The things he dissembled and assembled included everything from model trucks and cars to working bicycles and lawn mowers. His interest really piqued when he ordered a working tractor kit from Popular Mechanics magazine. “I was so proud of it in a no-one-believed-I-could-do-it kind of way,” he recalled.

personal tribute to wheeled vehicles of WWII Continued from page 12 By the time he joined the Army in 1975, Holland was as comfortable about mechanics as he was in his own skin. He became an ordnance officer and spent 28 years in uniform, retiring as a Reserve lieutenant colonel. During the time he served, specifically the 1980s, he became interested in collecting militaria when many of the foreign armies equipped by the U.S. following WWII began to reduce their inventories. “I saw an opportunity to have the real thing versus having the plastic models I had built,” said Holland, who was by then a member of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, an enthusiast group with hundreds of members located around the world. As a collector, he focused on the acquisition of vehicles made between 1940-45 “because they were the first truly

designed – from the ground up – tactical vehicles,” he said, pointing out the Quartermaster Corps – not the Ord. Corps – was responsible for developing Army vehicle specifications from 1938-1942. All of The Motor Pool vehicles were built to QM Corps specifications, Holland added. Since becoming a serious collector of vintage vehicles, Holland estimates 25-30 have passed through his hands. He acquired them from dealers, old barns and individuals at various locations. Each are methodically disassembled and reassembled to assess parts and working condition. The entire process of renewing the life of his precious finds is time consuming. “The average per vehicle is about five years,” he said, noting it recently took him more than a week to disassemble an axle. One could only contemplate the amount of focus required to work

on something for what amounts to a fraction of a lifetime, but Holland’s goal-oriented work ethic isn’t his only attribute. He is a student of military logistics history

and can rattle off facts and figures like an Internet search engine. He pointed out more than once how many of the innovations used in modern auto manufacturing are based on military vehicle specifications developed during The Great War. “A lot of technology with us today is enhanced technology that originated in these vehicles during the 1940s,” he said. He cited central tire inflation and combat rims as examples. Needless to say, the man knows his history, but he also is familiar with the process of acquisition, knows his way around engines and is nearly obsessive with curating duties – a veritable one-man museum wrecking-crew. Ray, who has made return visits to The Motor Pool on several occasions, can attest to his skills. “I would describe him as an expert in World War II vehicles with an ability to teach and educate others about the era,” he said. “I also would consider him an internationally-renown expert in his field.”

Holland has done consulting work for companies making military vehicle models, assisted in making military documentaries and supported museums with military vehicle displays. And he’s never accepted a dime. Needless to say, The Motor Pool is free of charge and has over the years welcomed to its confines hundreds of military personnel, Scouts, elementary school students, and church and corporate groups. Those who have never visited the community resource can “expect the history and background behind the design and development of the American tactical wheeled vehicles,” reiterated Holland. “That’s my mission – to make sure it is understood by future generations – how it all came about ...” Like he said, just “put a nickel” in his slot and brace oneself for a one-of-a-kind history lesson.

Installation family advocacy partners unite for DVAM awareness, education campaign Kimberly Fritz KAHC Public Affairs Specialist

Observed nationally each year in October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month is an opportunity to raise awareness about the all-to-prevalent issue of spousal and family abuse in homes across America, to include our military communities, according to Molly Stoner, a social worker with the Family Advocacy Program, Kenner Army Health Clinic. The Department of Defense theme for this year’s observance is “It starts with respect: Live by core values to keep your relationship healthy and strong.” Army advocates here and at other installations around the world are focusing their efforts on promoting the available resources that help military and family members develop life skills and maintain positive rela-

tionships. Leaders are supporting the effort through emphasis at unit briefings, encouragement to report incidents and taking steps to ensure the Army is providing safe environments for families. Two agencies here offer education and intervention services to support families prone to or affected by domestic violence. The Family Advocacy Programs at the Army Community Service center on the garrison side of the house and the one on the clinical side at Kenner work in unison to ensure the awareness and response efforts are unified and allencompassing. “ACS FAP serves the victims in abuse cases,” said Patricia Harper, garrison program manager. “Our mission is to help community members master selfreliance and self-sufficiency. We do that through education classes to help prevent violence and as-

sist victims when abuse has occurred.” The FAP program at Kenner provides resources including counseling for individuals, couples and families and groups for stress management, Stoner said. “Our mission statement is what we do every day,” she noted. “We empower and support Fort Lee service members and their families by implementing clinical assessments, treatment interventions and preventive services needed to ensure military families thrive.” There are several types of abuses under the umbrella of domestic violence, said Stoner. They include spouse or child abuse; physical, emotional or sexual abuse; and neglect. “In fiscal 2015, we helped more than 160 families to identify the problems leading to violence and helped them commu-

show of gratitude

nicate with one another without hostility,” she said. “On the clinical side of FAP, we work with each member of the family. We strive to find the root of the problem. Abusers aren’t abusive for the fun of it; there’s a reason why this happens.” Despite the increase in education and awareness that has occurred since the first DVAM observance 23 years ago, violence still happens, said Stoner. “It’s still a difficult issue,” she added. “The statistics prove we have a great deal of work to do, and the Army takes this very seriously.” According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the U.S. Although women are abused at a much higher rate than men, both share alarming statistics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one in three women and one in four men have been victims of some form of physical violence

by an intimate partner within their lifetime. Thus, continuing to raise awareness and maintaining the programs that exist to help victims is a year-round activity, Stoner said, adding that resources are available 24/7 through both FAP offices at Fort Lee. Several activities have already taken place this month to raise awareness about domestic violence and the education/assistance programs available at Fort Lee. They include a flag football tournament (photos on Page 11) and various displays at prominent customer service locations across post. Upcoming awareness events include the following: • DVAM Luncheon, Oct. 16, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., Regimental Club. • Break a Sweat, Break the Cycle fitness classes at McLaughlin, Oct. 19-23. • “Kick Domestic Violence” Kickball Tournament, Oct. 30, 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., Williams Stadium.
