Moschgat was “elected” to approach Crawford and ask about the similarity. His reply was likely unexpected – “Yep, that’s me.” Further conversation ensued and Crawford explained, “That was one day in my life, and it happened a long time ago.” He had dismissed it as a moment he

The Army Community Service here has received reports of individuals using mobile banking to deposit fraudulent Army Emergency Relief checks, and the owners of those accounts becoming victims of check fraud. Soldiers, retirees and family members are being targeted, so it’s assumed the culprits are fa-
miliar with the military community. In one scenario, the “setup” begins with individuals being asked if they want to earn some easy money by providing bank account information to the culprits. The scammers then deposit fraudulent AER checks into the account via mobile access and immediately make withdrawals so they can keep all of the cash. Because the AER checks are forgeries, the “victims” – our Soldiers, retirees

They were contacted by someone who seemed to have a genuine crisis – something like they’re new to the community, don’t have a bank account, don’t have family to turn to, just need to cash a check, etc. – and the story was convincing enough to make them want to help out.

COVER
I recently came across a story written quite a few years ago that, in my opinion, offered a lesson worthy of consideration. It’s about a quiet, unassuming man who was working as a janitor for a squadron of 100-plus cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. The individual mopped floors, cleaned toilets and made sure the cadets’ quarters were kept spotlessly clean and tidy. The man was humble and generally kept to himself. He was described by the cadets benefitting from his service as “an unimpressive figure; one you could easily overlook during a hectic day at the academy.” He did his job well and blended into the woodwork. To many, he was just another
fixture around the squadron. However, the cadets’ impression of the man quickly changed. It started with the moment a cadet by the name of James E. Moschgat (now a retired colonel) was doing research on World War II and read a book about the extremely tough allied ground campaign in Italy. One passage in the story recalled the actions of an Army private who was presumed killed in action and whose father received the Medal of Honor, in absentia, for his son. The picture of this individual in the book had a close resemblance to the squadron janitor. Cadet Moschgat shared this with his classmates who at first scoffed at the idea. Their initial reaction was, “No way is it our janitor. Yes, his name, William Crawford, is similar, but that is just a coincidence.”

Annual culinary event continues to uphold traditions T. Anthony Bell Senior Writer/Special Projects
More than four decades later, the military’s premier culinary training event has evolved into something much greater than its meager beginnings. It is larger – more than 200 competitors compete yearly, substantially more than the few dozen who competed at the start.
It is more inclusive – over the years, the Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force and foreign countries have all thrown their hats into the competitive ring. Its appeal to spectators combined with the camaraderie, spirit and competitiveness of participants has made it one of the most unique military training opportunities in the Department of Defense, despite ongoing budget
restraints, said Chief Warrant Officer 3 J.D. Ward. “This event is healthy despite a fiscal climate of zero growth,” said the coordinator for the annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event scheduled here for March 4-9. “We’ve had to reduce the size of the competition and the overall expenditures in order to remain fiscally responsible, but it still
remains the largest culinary competition in North America.” The MCACTE, in its 42nd year, was created specifically to improve the culinary skills of participants – and thus the readiness of the force – in an environment that is intensely competitive yet nurturing and educational. Featured among the American Culinary Federation-sanctioned events, are the Armed Forces and Student Chef of the Year competitions as well as a team event pitting installations and services against one another to determine an overall winner. In addition to the competitive events that will be ongoing from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily, MCACTE features live cooking demonstrations, celebrity appearances and food displays that can be described as varied and illustrative. Furthermore, the popular Military Hot Food Kitchen Challenge – the event in which the

public is invited to try out gourmet-inspired meals prepared during the competition – will make a return appearance. The meals are $5.55 and seats are available on a first-come basis. Among the changes to this year’s event is a change in venue. The MacLaughlin Fitness Center will accommodate this year’s competition rather than the Post Field House, which has hosted portions of MCACTE for more than a decade. The change is expected to have minimal impact on the competition from a competitor and spectator perspective, said Ward. Also among the differences this year is a change in cooking facilities used in the Military Hot Food Kitchen Challenge. The mobile trailers that were standard in the event will not be used this year, but competitors still employ the same cooking equipment. SEE CULINARY, PAGE 13

Women’s Museum celebrates start of new wing construction Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor
The Fort Lee community recognized the start of construction on an addition to the Army Women’s Museum during a groundbreaking ceremony on the side of the facility Feb. 2. Dr. Francoise Bonnell, museum director, said the event marked a great day for the facility. In what started as the Women’s Army Corps Museum in one room at Fort McClellan, Ala., this construction will nearly double the square feet of exhibit space. “When (the AWM’s) doors opened at Fort Lee in 2001, it had a new name and a new mission,” she said. “Instead of telling the history from 1942 to 1978, it now covers women’s contributions from 1775 to the

the Army in terms of the evolving and expanding roles as well as the opportunities afforded to women in its ranks.” Brig. Gen. Rodney Fogg, Quartermaster General, was on hand to help celebrate the groundbreaking and said he was excited for the new chapter in the AWM history. “Any time I can put on a construction hat and grab a golden shovel in my hand, it’s a good day.” he said. “I am proud to stand in front of you today because we are the only branch of service in the military that has a dedicated museum for women’s history. We’re here today to make the museum bigger and better.” The gallery construction will add approximately 4,000 square feet and, along with the current space, allow the museum staff to bring up-to-date the history of women in the Army. Once the addition is complete this fall, the museum will close to allow a larger and more comprehensive gallery to be designed and installed into the combined space.

MOS-T Soldiers take gender neutral test to prove capability Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor
Thirty Soldiers in the Reserve and National Guard 92F basic petroleum class completed a gender-neutral test Monday at the Petroleum Training Area. The test – which mirrors the active duty component – is required for any Soldier entering the petroleum supply specialist military occupational specialty, said Sgt. 1st Class Carla Thomas, course manager and liaison for 92F MOS-T National Guard and Reservist Soldiers. Participants put on 80 pounds of body armor and worked in teams of four to lift and move an engine – weighing about 165 pounds – in unison and walked 20 feet. Working as a team was vital
for this test, said Thomas. “In this MOS, we do a lot of heavy lifting,” she said “We also constantly work as a team. This is not a job where you can do it by yourself. This test is a good indicator to ensure our Soldiers can do this job. “Succeeding at this test shows that any of the group members are capable in our specific MOS requirement,” Thomas continued. “I think they did excellent. The prior planning we did really paid off because we came out and they knew what groups they were in and what spot they had on the team.” Staff Sgt. Lucas Revaul, Idaho National Guard, said the test represents something that would happen while on deployment. “You have to move things quickly and proficiently, so no one

A team of four Soldiers carry an engine weighing approximately 165 pounds, 20 feet, during a gender neutral test Monday. The assessment was given to 30 Soldiers in the Reserve and National Guard 92F basic petroleum class. The team members also were required to don 80 pounds of gear.
gets injured,” he said. The assessment is a good idea, said Spc. Alicia Hill, 846th Quartermaster Company, Kansas City, Kan.
“It lets you know those you’re working with can pull their own weight and shows them they can trust me, as well,” she said. “We can all rely on each other to do the
right job.” When discussing the additional 80 pounds of body armor, Hill shrugged it off. “We did that plenty of times during training,” she said. “It wasn’t anything new.” Echoing Hill’s remarks, Pvt. Taylor Madayag, a reservist from the 786th Quartermaster Company in Utah, said it wasn’t very difficult. “It was fun to do and gave us a chance to work as a team,” she said. “We do this type of stuff all the time with our job, though.” Sgt. 1st Class John Kirk, a reservist from the 877th Quartermaster Company in Albuquerque, N.M., said this test stressed the importance of working as a team. “Our job requires our Soldiers to be ready at a moment’s notice to do things that anyone else should or could do,” he said. “If we can’t depend on our lowest ranking Soldier to the highest ranking one to discharge their duties, then we’re failing our nation.”

SGT. ISAIAH T. SAOLE Unit: 508th Transportation Company, 266th Quartermaster Battalion MOS: 88M – motor transport operator Age: 23 Time in service: five years Hometown: Oceanside, Calif. Family: married with children Describe your personality: “Straightforward and to the point.” Personal strengths: “I’m a person of the word (his faith as a Christian). What I talk about is what I carry out. If I say I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it to the best of my ability.” Personal weaknesses: “I’m not too much of a ‘meet and greet’ person unless I get a warm and fuzzy about someone. I’m all about work.” Worst fear: “Failing to be successful, or falling short of my goals.” Talk about your faith: “I’m Catholic. I go to church every Sunday, and I’m a true believer. My faith fills the voids in my life.” Favorite scripture: “The Lord’s Prayer – I say it in my head whenever I get scared, worried or when things aren’t going as planned.” Pet peeve: “Those who complain because if you’re always
complaining, you’re at fault. You’re not doing anything to rectify the problem.” Dream car: “The car I would like the most is the Smart For Two car despite the fact I’m 280 pounds and roughly 6-feet tall (laugh).” How you relax: “I stay busy. I’m on the computer getting work done. That relaxes me.” Your ideal life: “God, family and hard work.” One lesson you like sharing: “Don’t take anything for granted. There are some things I’ve experienced that seemed like a big issue, but when people talk to me about those issues, it turns out it wasn’t as big of an issue I thought it was.” Favorite movie: “‘The Hulk’ because I can relate to him (laugh).” At 280 pounds, some people might think you exceed the Army weight standards. Your comments: “I can pass the PT test, and I don’t care about anyone’s perception. They expect me to weight 190-something. I’m never going to weigh that. It’s just genetics. If they want me to get down to that weight, they’ll have to cut me at the bottom torso (laugh).” Note: If Soldiers don’t meet the weight standards, they require a

tape test. That measurement determines whether a Soldier meets the standard. Saole said he meets the height and weight requirements. The celebrity or historical figure you would like to me: “Jesus Christ because he was the way of life, and I want to learn that way of life.” One experience that changed your life: “The day I got married. Before that, I always depended on myself; now I have extra support. I have a partner to share my experiences with.” Talk about your family life: “I come from a very spiritual family. We are close knit, and it’s always about the family in a collective sense and never about an individual. If one person has a problem, the family acts to al-

leviate whatever it might be. Everybody has each other’s back.” Why you joined the Army: “I had problems with gangs in the surrounding areas where I lived (Saole was not a gang member but did not want to be affected by the culture). In order to take myself out of that picture, I had to do something. I got acceptance letters from schools in wrestling, shotput and football. I didn’t get scholarship offers because I never took the SAT or ACT. I talked to my father (his grandfather was a retired Naval officer), and he told me to either join up or figure out another way to live my life. A lot of my family members lived with each other, but I didn’t want that. I wanted to be independent. So, it was either go look for a minimum-wage job or come into the Army and find a positive influence.” Did the Army fulfill your expectations? “It did. It exceeded them. It’s an easy place. The hardest thing to do is deal with people, but that’s everywhere you go.” Why you chose your MOS: “I signed up for 11B (infantryman), but the day I did my swear-in, they told me I was going to be a 88M. At the time, I didn’t know what it was, but I took it because I wanted to come in right after high school. I didn’t want to wait.” What it means to serve: “Putting on the uniform is adding
to the legacy of our forefathers, but it’s not always easy. It can be scary. I still have nightmares of downloading people (refugees) off of planes in Iraq during the humanitarian efforts (2014 -15). It made me feel good I was making a contribution to something bigger than me. It was scary just knowing how many people were killed there and thinking I could be one of them. It’s not the most pleasant thing to think about.” You were promoted a short time ago; talk about what you’ve learned in your position of leadership: “You’ve got to be on your Ps and Qs. (Having leadership responsibilities) is like having your own family … my Soldiers are a reflection of me.” How you want to be treated by leaders: “If I perform like a (expletive), I want them to tell me I perform like one. I want them to be truthful. At the same time, if you don’t like the way I’m leading, please let me know. I don’t like sugarcoating anything.” What you would change as Army Chief of Staff: “If you sugar-coat things to Soldiers, they are going to sugar-coat it back to you. I would want a sugar-free Army.” Best thing about the Army: “The opportunities.” Worst thing about the Army: “People.” Future plans: “I want to finish college and raise my kids to be better than me.” – Compiled by T.

Museum plans World War I exhibit, salute to quartermasters Ray Kozakewicz Production Assistant
In connection with the 100th anniversary of Fort Lee, the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum is working on an exhibit highlighting the contributions of the Quartermaster Corps during World War I. “The quartermaster story is big,” said Paul Morando, museum director. “To commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I, we thought it was important to develop an exhibit to showcase the quartermasters during the war. We want people to understand the important role they played in supply and logistics.”
He said, “they had to clothe, feed and supply a million-and-half Soldiers overseas. How did they get supplies to the Soldiers in the trenches? How did they get hot food to the Soldiers? How did they repair clothing items left on the battlefield? How did they care for the dead in terms of burial and handling personal effects? All this had to be done rather quickly.” The new exhibit will show how the corps was successful in getting this done throughout the war, said Morando. “The artifacts and photos will come out of our collection at the museum,” he said. “We have in our posses-
sion really neat Army photo books that cover the various activities of the corps. “For example, we have an official Army book on salvage operations – a major function of the Quartermaster Corps. These were the folks who went out to the battlefield to recover equipment such as torn uniforms and other items and repaired them to get them back into use,” he continued. The museum also has photo books on food, graves registration and other aspects of the quartermasters the staff can draw upon for the various displays being developed. One large artifact will be part of the ex-
hibit – a rolling kitchen. Morando said the exhibit will be substantial and located in the museum’s temporary exhibit area separated from the main gallery. “Exhibits are tough to do since you have to limit the amount of information you put in because of space. We have ample information, artifacts and room to tell the complete story.” He said it’s not a Camp Lee exhibit, but there will be some connections since quartermasters would have supplied infantry troops from Lee overseas. “The quartermaster Soldiers were not training here and the Quartermaster School was not here at the

time,” Morando noted. The museum plans to unveil the World War I Quartermaster exhibit on July 12 during a special ribbon-cutting ceremony.
It will be part of a number of events scheduled during the official Camp Lee Centennial observance. The exhibit is expected to be on display for at least a year.

With its production of “Broadway Bound,” the Lee Playhouse completes its run of Neil Simon’s coming-ofage trilogy, having mounted showings of “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and “Biloxi Blues” in the past two seasons. As memorable as those two shows were, audiences are likely to agree this is the most heart-rending of the three. The show at the Lee Theater continues Feb. 10, 11, 17 and 18, at 8 p.m.; and Feb. 12 and 19, at 3 p.m. Together, Simon’s three semi-autobiographical plays follow young Eugene Morris Jerome through puberty to his first taste of adulthood and the world outside New York, and finally back to New York – where the now 20-something Eugene works with his brother to break out
of monotony and into show business. Simon is known for giddy comedies with New Yorkers spouting snappy one-liners like “Barefoot in the Park,” “The Odd Couple” and “The Sunshine Boys,” but underneath the humor has always run an unspoken undercurrent of anger. While “Broadway Bound” retains the playwright’s trademark humor, the final trilogy twists Simon’s formula by trading in a few of the rapidfire jokes for a sensitive examination of an unraveling marriage. The heart-rending second act shifts focus from Eugene’s hijinks to the vulnerable dignity of his mother. The show is all the better for it. Economists use the saying, “a rising tide lifts all boats” to explain that a swell of affluence in a community’s economy benefits all participants. The same might
be said of this production. Director Joy Williams was forced to assume the role of the mother, Kate, after the actress originally assigned to play her withdrew two weeks before opening night. The original performer’s exit proved to be serendipitous as Williams turns in a performance so powerful and compelling that it in turn pulls the best from every actor in the show. Williams’ pitch-perfect portrayal begins with her first line of dialogue, revealing a legitimate Brooklyn accent. She rules over the production with authority and sensitivity, laying a foundation for the whole show with a convincing affection for the family and a genuine, raw pain that comes spilling out when her character finally acknowledges she’s been betrayed.

(Travis West) bounce off each other in fine comic fashion – much like early prototypes of the Odd Couple’s Felix and Oscar. Benjamin is, of course, more endearing as he slowly shakes off his character’s cocoon of self-doubt. Travis’ Stanley is both scheming and neurotic, making it difficult to determine whether his character would be more help or more hindrance in the brothers’ endeavors. Leave it to the veteran performers to outshine the live-wire performances of the younger actors. In the difficult role of the philandering father, playhouse regular Mike White works hard to suppress his exuberant personality and natural likability without ever resorting to cardboard cutout villainy. Steve King is especially engaging as the cranky, Trotsky-spouting grandfather, Ben. He shuffles up and down the stairs to convey a weary gravitas to his character, who serves as a sounding board for all the others in the play. Mellon Minton returns to the Playhouse stage in a

smaller role in which she ac-quits herself nicely. This production’s lighting, sound and costuming all play a part in its success – as does the remarkable set. “Broadway Bound” plays out on two levels – literally. The steely resentment of Eugene’s parents plays out on the first floor while the two Jerome brothers scheme their way out of Brooklyn from their bedrooms on the second floor – all on the remarkable interior of the Jerome
home that designer Cindy Warren has resurrected from the Brighton Beach Memoirs production. Community members will not want to miss this production of Neil Simon’s “Broadway Bound” for the laughs and Williams’s master class in acting. Tickets are $13 for adults; $7 for youth 16 and under; and $5 for military E1 - E4. Group rates are available. For more information, call (804) 734-6629.

About 300 Fort Lee community members attended the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast observance Feb. 2 in the Lee Club main ballroom. The audience included Maj. Gen. Darrell K. Williams, CASCOM and Fort Lee commanding general, and his wife, Myra; the commandants from each of the major schools on post; brigade and garrison leaders; family members, and guests from the local area. “It is very uplifting to see this great turnout,” Williams said in welcoming remarks.

“I’m particularly heartened by the number of leaders here today. It sends a very powerful message to our formations about the importance of building and maintaining spiritual resiliency.” The theme of the event, “Building on Our Spiritual Heritage,” was perfect for the occasion, Williams also noted while pointing out the correlation with Fort Lee’s 2017 Centennial Celebration. “Through the years since Camp Lee was founded in 1917, chaplains have walked at our (Soldiers) side, giving comfort where it was needed and always building our spiritual strength,” he said. The breakfast that followed Williams’ remarks was capped off by a music per-
formance featuring Sgt. 1st Class Dauntie Henry and Sgt. 1st Class Keith Gantt, a 16th Ordnance Battalion instructor and platoon sergeant, respectively. A trio of chaplains then stepped forward to lead prayers for Soldiers, families and the nation. Featured speaker, Chaplain (Col.) Addison Burgess Sr., command chaplain for U.S. Army Central, Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., centered his remarks on passages from the book of Joshua in the Bible. In the cited verses, God gives instructions to Joshua – the leader he chose to succeed Moses – telling him to “be strong, and of good courage” while being mindful of the creator’s steadfast presence in his life.
“In order to be a great, resilient leader, you also have to be a great follower,” Burgess emphasized. “You have to be teachable, regardless of status or rank. Always remember, you can learn something from that private, from that staff sergeant, from that lieutenant. Same thing for civilians, business leaders, retirees, and so on. Being teachable is essential to living long, successful lives; and it’s important to pass on the knowledge we accumulate to the next generation.” Reminding the audience of God’s constant presence in their lives, Burgess urged them to be confident, unafraid and unwavering in their personal convictions. “Don’t let other people label you,” the colonel advised. “Don’t be so quick to change your identity to fit in. Be who you are. Express concerns that matter to you but don’t accept the party line. If all of us did that, this Army, this nation … America … would be a better country because there would be more respect for each other.”

Kenner cake-cutting recognizes 116th anniversary of Nurse Corps Capt. Andrew Smay Troop Medical Clinic 2
Kenner Army Health Clinic staffers celebrated the 116th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps with a cake-cutting ceremony Feb. 2 in the command conference room. Lt. Col. Stacey Freeman, chief nursing officer and deputy commander for Health Readiness, was the event host. The theme of this year’s anniversary was, “Leading Readiness and Professional Practice: Getting it done since 1901!” Maj. Gen. Barbara Holcomb, Chief of the Army Nurse Corps, said in a statement about the ANC anniversary, “Readiness is our priority, and we want to continue focus on professional practice so we
can use this to help our corps understand the roles in each area. Professional practice is about ‘a way of being.’” The message is reflective of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley’s No. 1 priority of readiness. This priority is echoed throughout the chain of command, from the Office of the Army Surgeon General down to local clinic level at KAHC. The Army Nurse Corps and Army Nurses at Kenner work diligently to support the Army’s medical readiness. “Investing in education and evidenced-based practice is the key to supporting the Army’s mission of medical readiness and providing optimal health care to our Soldiers, family members and retirees,” said Freeman, regarding
the readiness theme. The anniversary celebration at the clinic featured a presentation on the history of the Army Nurse Corps. It was founded by law on Feb. 2, 1901, however, the history of Army nursing can be traced back to the Revolutionary War. In 1775, Gen. George Washington petitioned the Continental Congress for funds for medical support to help the Army. A ratio of one nurse to every 10 patients was authorized, with a $2-per-month salary each. After the history presentation, each of the Army Nurse Corps officers at Kenner gave a short presentation about their experiences, and the missions and deployments in which they have participated. “The continued success
Transportation
of the Army Nurse Corps is attributed to its strong and visionary leaders of the past and present, and their ability to lead, coach and mentor our future leaders,” Freeman said. Capt. Anna Park, clinical nurse officer in charge of Troop Medical Clinic 1, reflected on her feelings about the anniversary. “I am extremely honored to be a member of the Army Nurse Corps team,” she said. “It has such a distinguished history and proud heritage. These years of service are the best of my life. I couldn’t imagine a better career, a better job, or working in a better place; and the best part is working with my Nurse Corps colleagues on a daily basis. It is such an honor and privilege to serve as an Army Nurse Corps

Artifact of the Month A recently discovered notebook at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, contain papers (inset photo) concerning the invasion of Normandy on June 4, 1944. The pages start in 1943 and end in 1945. There are typed notes on shipping, port operations, time logs and types of vessels. Other notes pertain to classification of ships, escort vessels, hospital ships, crew and ships’ compliments, ships’ speed and tonnage. Further notes include ports of embarkation and debarkation, names of vessels, operation of the Mulberry Harbors, and more. So far, no record has been found as to who donated the notebook or when the museum received it. It is a treasure of unexpected value and will be studied for further information and exhibit.

scheduled for March 4-9 Continued from page 3 Diners may not even notice the change, said Ward. “In fact, it may be easier for them to better observe competitors’ cooking,” he said. Other minor changes include the exclusion of individual credit for items on the tables during the team buffet or cold food table event, said Ward. Only team credit will be allowed this year. The change was prompted by a change in format at the Culinary Olympics, an event in which the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Team regularly competes. Ward, who first competed in MCACTE as a private first class, said the competition is full of highlights, but from his viewpoint, the student team of the year event is the most inspirational. “These are groups of less-experienced, younger Soldiers competing and demonstrating advanced and fundamental cook-
ing skills for the judges,” he said. “It’s a wonderful event because it exposes young service members to the profession in an entirely different light.” The winners in the student event go on to compare their skills against regional winners at the American Culinary Federation competition in July. “It’s an opportunity for those young chefs to compete against their civilian counterparts and demonstrate to the civilian sector just how talented military culinarians can be,” said Ward. The student chef of the year winner also will go on to compete at the same ACF event with the possibility of representing the United States at a 2018 international event in Switzerland.

Making time for healthy habits Dr. Matthew R. Petrone Physical Therapist, Mosier Clinic
Last year, I wrote an article about the difference just 30 minutes a day of vigorous exercise can make for anyone. This time around, I’m including some much-needed motivational quotes like this one from Dr. Mehmet Oz, a television personality, “Never forget that the body is the temple of the soul.” What kind of soul would want to hang around a defiled temple? Focus on yourself a little and enjoy some “me” time. No, that doesn’t mean bingewatching one’s favorite TV shows on the couch. “We do not stop exercising because we grow old – we grow old because we stop exercising,” said Dr. Kenneth Cooper, who introduced the concept of aerobics in 1968.
Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” – Edward Stanley
It’s time to ponder what’s being done to take care of you. Are you getting enough sleep? Exercising regularly? “Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness” wrote Edward Stanley, a British statesman from the 1800s. Any type of exercise is better than none at all. A simple goal could be a 10-minute brisk
walk each. The benefits of just 10 minutes of exercise are reduced blood pressure, decrease in overall weight and an increase of energy. Split this up in five-minute bursts twice a day if you are a desk worker, and you virtually reverse the effects of sitting all day, according to one study. If five minutes is too long, 250 steps (roughly 2 minutes) of walking in place every hour may have similar benefits. “To keep the body in good health is a duty … otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear,” according to Gautam Buddha, who founded Buddhism. Exercise also can also lead to improved cognitive function. In a few recent studies, there is a risk reduction of dementia directly related to regular physical activity. Exercise sessions performed three times per week for a mini-
mum of 30 minutes each were effective. But, this doesn’t mean if people cannot do 30 minutes, they shouldn’t try. According to the studies, any exercise will help. as it is a complex relationship of exercise and brain function with a plethora of varying influences. Those individuals who exercised more than the minimum 30 minutes a day for five days a week had better outcomes and brain function. For a better night’s sleep, 30 minutes of resistance exercise can help individuals get to sleep faster, no matter what time of day it’s performed. In one study, groups were assigned to measure quality of sleep depending on when they performed their resistance training at 7 a.m., 1 p.m. or 7 p.m. The study found all groups had better quality of sleep. Poor quality of sleep has been associated with cardiovas-
cular disease, diabetes and obesity. “Sleep is a necessary human function – it allows our brains to recharge and our bodies to rest. When we do not sleep long or well enough, our bodies do not get the full benefits of sleep, such as muscle repair and memory consolidation,” according to the American Psychological Association . Consider these words from Staff Sgt. Jason M. Fineberg, the principal physical therapist NCO in charge at Mosier Clinic: “We lead lives that breed stress. Always keeping ourselves busy. Thirty minutes of stress-free relaxation before quality sleep can lead to a refreshed mind and body. It is important how you spend those 30 minutes. It can be through prayer, meditation or the reading of a good book. The key is to let your mind gear down from the stresses of everyday life.”

special. They could not look beyond the lowly janitor to see the individual who, as a young private, as stated in the Medal of Honor citation, “Had acted with conspicuous gallantry at the risk of his own life above and beyond the call of duty.” With Crawford’s story now the buzz around the academy, there was a newfound respect and admiration for him. He was asked to share his story with incoming students. Eventually, he admitted regret over not having the opportunity to receive the medal from the president. That changed in 1984, however, when President Ronald Reagan came to the academy as the invited speaker for the annual commencement ceremony. During this event in front of many generals, VIPs and past graduates, Reagan formally presented the Medal of Honor to Crawford and recognized his actions on Sept. 13, 1943, at Hill 424 near Altavilla Silentina, Italy. In his graduation speech, Reagan included a number of leadership qualities Crawford demonstrated that fateful day in Italy so long ago and as a present day janitor. He challenged the graduating cadets and others assembled to emulate those traits in their own lives. William John Crawford was a humble man who summed up his heroic actions during the war with a casual, “he was only doing his duty.” He would say the same when cleaning floors or toilets in the dormitories. Every day of our lives, we too have opportunities to look beyond what we see on the surface and discover the whole story of another human being. We should be cautious of labeling others and losing the chance to truly get to know them. All people deserve respect no matter their position or lot in life. Pursue excellence in what you do and be humble about it. Make a difference in the lives of others. It is when we take the time to really discover another that we are all blessed and might just find a “gem of a person” who could be that unassuming hero in our midst.
