Service members and their families joined the Italian Jewish community in a Holocaust remembrance ceremony May 19 at the Naval Air Station Sigonella Chapel to reflect on the lives that were lost during the Holocaust. The remembrance ceremony consisted of an invocation, a candle-lighting ceremony and guest speaker and second generation Holocaust survivor, Paola Klein, a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma. After the opening remarks from NAS Sigonella’s Executive Officer, Lt. Cmdr. Scott Hottenstein, candles were lit in memory of the lives that were lost in the concentration camps. “My grandfather was part of a Jewish resistance group, fighting against the Nazis from the woodlands of Poland,” said Klein. “He stood up for what he knew was just, and right.” REMEMBRANCE, continued on page 12

"It’s not only vital for our Sailors to get involved in the community, but for the local nationals to see that we can and are willing to help where needed,” Wilk said. “A large part of community service is giving part of yourself to other people and putting COMREL, continued on page 12

Direct Line Good Day Sigonella, This is my last Direct Line as your CMC and I just wanted to thank you for everything we've shared during my time here. As I said when I reported in, we are a world- class operation and community and it's because of all of you. This tour has been the best of my career and there are so many people I could thank for that. And though I'm risking leaving someone out, I'm going to thank away, anyway. We as a community have been truly fortunate to have exactly the right Commanding Officer at the right time - Capt. Butler. Most of you do not know the debt of gratitude that we owe him for being the absolute best advocate we could have for NAS SIGONELLA in these times of downsizing, budget cuts, and base closures. And if that weren't enough, he has led us through an exponential increase in the operational tempo of the base in support of Operations Odyssey Dawn and Unified Protector which include the challenges that accompany working with multiple

militaries and state entities. He deserves your best; make sure he gets it. Sigonella Chief Petty Officers, I know I've asked a lot of you, but it's because I know you're capable of more than you know. You've led and trained our Sailors to the highest standards and executed as I asked you when I checked aboard. You've heard the expression "Ask the Chief," and I asked you to take that phrase to the next level by not waiting to be asked. And this you have done. Thanks for being one of the best groups of Chief Petty Officers I've ever worked with - and for enduring what must have seemed at times to be a little too much follow up and mentoring from me, perhaps bordering on tormenting - but it's like I've told you, "if it's worth managing, it's worth micro-managing." And for all the Senior Enlisted of all the services not as good as the Navy, you all have been great as well and it has been an honor to work with you and I hope to do so again in the future. As a command and community we
Congratulations Class of 2011 Submitted by Sigonella High School
The vision of Sigonella Middle High School is: To prepare life-long learners, leaders, and global citizens. Our Sigonella High School graduating seniors are all three. Life-Long Learning Leiny Ramirez and Liz Adams both learned the importance of believing in themselves from their parents. Leiny’s parents taught her to keep learning and pursuing her dreams no matter what. Liz’s parents inspire her. Franco Garcia’s favorite quote is by Christopher Reeves: “At first our dreams seem impossible, only when we summon them will they become inevitable.” Franco thinks people can accomplish anything they put their minds to. Alexis Palmer said, “Every accomplishment begins with the decision to try.” Alexis thinks people should always keep trying and doing their best to learn and improve. Jeofrey Lucero’s parents helped him develop a good work ethic. Jeofrey now knows he needs to keep learning and working throughout his life. Larry Stevenson’s favorite quote is, “Only the strong survive.” This quote taught Larry to give his all in whatever he does. Bailey Berryhill’s favorite quote from the song “All That Remains” is “Fear not at all, my focus shall not fail.” Asia McGee’s favorite quote is “I Commanding Officer Capt. Scott Butler Public Affairs Officer Lt. Tim Page Deputy Public Affairs Officer Dott. Alberto Lunetta Editor Tracie Barnthouse Staff Writers/ Photographers MC1 Christopher Delano MC2 Gary Prill GM2 Kris Carmody MCSN Cameron Bramham MCSA Brian Glunt The Signature editorial office is located at: Naval Air Station Sigonella, Sicily PSC 812 Box 3020, FPO, AE 09627 Telephone: 095-86-5440: DSN 624-5440
struggle and emerge.” These quotes helped both Bailey and Asia realize they can accomplish anything if they keep learning and trying. Anna Rizza learned to love reading from her mother. Now, Anna really loves to read and to learn. Kayla Simmons shared how a personal experience helped her realize how fortunate she is. Kayla thinks people should always keep trying no matter how bad things may seem. Leadership Olivia Mullen’s parents taught her about personal responsibility by helping her develop independence, motivation, and a work ethic. Olivia now knows these characteristics will help her be a leader in the future. Erika Baker’s parents also taught her about being responsible for herself and helped her develop independence. Nate Carpenter’s favorite quote is, “It’s better to live on one’s feet than die on one’s knees.” This quote taught Nate it is better to stand up for what you believe in than to just accept things as they are. JROTC helped Elexa McCracken develop leadership skills and self-discipline. Elexa said JROTC helped her “develop skills she didn’t know she was capable of ” like leading a group and setting an example for others. Jake Serna’s favorite quote is by Frank GRADUATES, continued on page 12 This civilian enterprise (CE) newspaper is an authorized publication for members of the military services overseas.

have an active First Class Petty Officer Association, Junior Enlisted Association and CSAD (Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions) chapter. I'm sure we have some future Chief Petty Officers in all these organizations and if you're in a leadership position, wearing khaki pants, get behind these outfits and support their efforts - they're the future of the Navy. Although I think I've mostly covered the military section of our community, there is no way we could have accomplished our mission without the first rate efforts of our civilian and local national team. I am personally grateful for the efforts of our Fleet And Family Support Center and Ombudsmen for affording me the opportunity to focus on mission and military related matters secure in the knowledge that our families had the best support possible. Being a Sailor has been my life's work and the highlight of my 30 years in the Navy has been serving as your Command Master Chief.
Continue to make NAS SIGONELLA better daily. And take care of each other. We've talked a lot lately about bystander intervention. Don't hesitate to step in if a situation calls for it. Have a great, and safe, Memorial Day and thanks for your service!

GRADUATES, continuned from page 2 Gaines: “Only those who can see the invisible can do the impossible.” Jake now knows it is those who see beyond the horizon who lead us in to the future. Amanda Bay’s parents showed her how to consider both sides of a situation and how to consider long term consequences rather than just immediate rewards. Amanda knows this ability to make smart choices will help her throughout her life. Michael Mink’s parents taught him how to manage his time and be better organized which he knows will serve him well in life and make him a better leader. Learning from her mom, being cheerleader captain and student-teaching with Ms. LaRocca helped Hailey Flanagan develop her leadership skills because they helped her to overcome shyness and to work with other people. Global Citizenship Rachel Vossler developed an appreciation for different cultures and an understanding of different perspectives because she has had the opportunity to attend three different high schools. Angel Jackson thinks moving to Sicily changed his life because he learned about people from another place in the world. Giulia Budny believes having direct contact with people from different nationalities with all kinds of traditions has changed her life. Tracy Ewert, Jade Kennedy, and Courtney Albert feel living in another country and traveling around Europe has changed their lives because they learned so much from every different person they met. Marco Montero’s dad has helped him become a more responsible person and Marco knows this will help him be a better citizen throughout his life. Marco Summerfield stated moving to Sigonella changed his life because “it is a place where everyone respects each other.” The Sigonella Middle High School Graduating Class of 2011 chose the following quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson to represent their class. “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” The character traits of life-long learners, leaders, and global citizens are some of what lies within these graduating seniors. The Sigonella Middle High School community congratulates the class of 2011 and wishes them the best at all future endeavors. COMREL, continued from page 1
their larger needs in front of your smaller ones.” Wilk said he was very proud to see so many of his peers and co-workers out in hot, Sicilian sun to help out the community of Motta Sant’Anastasia. “It was a win-win situation all around and I felt like we were doing great things for the people who live in Motta,” Wilk said. “It was a great day!”
RUN, continued from page 1
despite their ambitions, most children could not handle the distance. After 16 years of success, the name was changed to America’s Kids Run to capture the national and international interest it was receiving by Military Bases. MWR Youth Sports Coordinator Monica Gonzalez coordinated the event for Sigonella’s children and said that this run is the biggest kids run in the world. “It’s in honor of Armed Forces Day and is the largest kids run in the world,” Gonzalez said. “It’s a race, but they get a free shirt and we also try to promote fitness in a fun way for them.” Gonzalez said that coordinating the event isn’t a difficult process but added that she had to plan in advance to make sure everything was ready for the run. “When we pick the day and mark it on our calendars, we want to make sure we have enough time to prepare for the run,” Gonzalez said. “Making sure we have enough volunteers to run with the kids, safety supplies and water.” Mother Tracy Thill who had two kids participate in the run said it’s really good as a mom to watch her kids get out and enjoy the activities that the community here provides for them. “It’s very exciting, I enjoy watching them participate, running and being healthy,” Thill said. “As a mom, it’s very humbling.” Gonzalez said she loves seeing the kids come out for every event she is associated with and hopes they continue to participate as much as possible. “I really enjoyed seeing all the kids who were able to come out today, because you k now that they’re all a part of something bigger around the world,” Gonzalez said. “We set the ages at five and up, but to see kids younger than that out here wanting to run with their older brother or sister is really special. We have it every year and I hope to see everyone out here this time next year.” For more information about the annual event, visit www.americaskidsrun.org. REMEMBRANCE, continued from page 1 It took chutzpah, guts, and courage to smuggle people out of the ghetto and to take arms against an army régime, added Klein. “I don’t know if I could ever be as brave as the individuals who smuggled Jews out of the ghettos and took arms against the Nazis.” After Klein spoke, a sixth grade class from Sigonella Decatur Elementary School read the poem “Butterfly.” The class lined up along the stage with white T-shirts decorated with colorful butterflies. They passed the book down the line after reading their respective parts of the poem. The ceremony ended with an invocation from NAS Sigonella Chaplain Ubalde.
