NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION
Remembering Pearl Harbor by MC3 Shannon Burns, Defense Media Activity Rain could not stop the wreath laying ceremony, hosted by Naval District Washington, from taking place at the Lone Sailor Statue on Dec. 7 in Washington D.C. The ceremony took place in honor of the 70th Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Among those in attendance were Pearl Harbor survivors and their family members as well as retired Rear Admiral Edward K. Walker Jr. At the time of the attacks Walker was just nine years old and stationed with his family at Pearl Harbor. At the time Walkers' father was a Lt. Cmdr. as the operations officer of a staff command. Walker said he remembers watching the smoke rise. "I climbed up on the roof of our house and from there I could see the smoke. I was close enough that I could feel the concussions from the bombs that went on for an hour" said Walker. "Then the second wave came in. The planes flew over the mountain behind our house and on into Pearl Harbor."
Beware of Identity thieves when holiday shopping online by Aaron J. Heiner, NDW Public Affairs Social media and online shopping has proven to be very popular with the public in recent years. However, in cyberspace, there are those who wish to take advantage of your personal interests and internet shopping habits for their own financial gain. Ray Murphy, information security program manager with Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU), states that identity thieves are aggressive this time of year when more people are spending. Often times, the victims of identity theft were unaware of the risks they took until it was too late.

Rear Adm. Patrick J. Lorge, left, commandant of Naval District Washington, and Frank Yanick, a survivor of the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, render honors during a wreath laying ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial. The event commemorated the 70th anniversary of the attack.
Walker said he was honored to be a part of the wreath laying and that it was very personal to him. "I'm very emotionally involved in the wreath laying," Walker said. "I served 38 years in the Navy and my father served 33. Walker also said that remembering Pearl Harbor is important for several reasons. "Most important is remembering the sacrifices, dedication and courage of the nearly 2,400 people who lost their lives that day," said Walker. "Pearl Harbor teaches us that we as military people must always be prepared to meet an enemy capability." Walker invited retirees to come and enjoy the Navy Memorial. "I want to ask all of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard veterans to please visit your Navy Memorial," said Walker. "You helped build it, you help keep it running. This memorial represents you, your dedication, your sacrifices, and your courage." Following the wreath laying a panel discussion was held in the Navy Memorial Historical Society with Pearl Harbor survivors sharing their memories of that day.
Holiday Greetings A message from the Commandant, NDW, Rear Adm. Patrick J. Lorge Greetings Naval District Washington family! It is once again the time of year when we pause from our daily workload to celebrate the holiday season and the beginning of another new year with our families and friends. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the past year and how fortunate we are to continue serving this great nation. 2011 has been a magnificent year and I remain fortunate to serve the commandant of such a diverse and significant region. I cannot thank you enough for the service and support you have provided NDW and the Navy. Your dedication and the sacrifices you make in ensuring the safety of our nation is very much appreciated. The pride and professionalism
you demonstrated each and every day was instrumental in carrying out our mission and making 2011 another successful year. As we bring closure to 2011, let our hearts not forget our fellow service members serving in harms way far away from their family and friends, and those wounded warriors just returning home who will be spending time in treatment facilities. Let us pray that they too experience the joy and hope that this festive season brings. And of course, let’s be safe this holiday season. As you attend parties and celebrations and travel to spend time with loved ones do not forget to take time for safety. Do not drink and drive (even buzz driving can get you a DUI), get plenty of rest before venturing out on the highway and watch out for your friends and shipmates. A few moments of forethought can ensure we all have a happy holiday
Rear Adm. Patrick J. Lorge and return safely for the start of another great year. Please enjoy the holidays with your loved ones and friends. And as you ring in the New Year, please take every precaution to stay safe and take care of each other. May you and your family have a safe and joyful holiday season and a prosperous NewYear. God bless each and every one of you and my very best wishes for 2012.

Chaplain’s Corner
Happy Holidays! Capt. Gary W. Clore, CHC, USN Regional Chaplain, NDW Happy Holidays! That may be the politically correct way to say it when what people really want to say or prefer to say is “Happy Hanukkah” or “Merry Christmas.” I have observed the process of social change that has people hanging the greens and displaying Christmas trees and lights while facing the dilemma of how they communicate the season. Whether we are politically correct or NOT, we all know that we live everyday in the midst of a secular culture that has “capitalized” on the holiday season. You do realize that holiday combines two words, holy and day. That brings me to the proverbial statement that I hear periodically about what not to discuss in public, “religion and politics.” What a shame since those are two of my favorite subjects. We can easily find ourselves restraining what we are really thinking simply because we try to navigate the right words in the economy of speech in order to not offend anyone, and yet still find ourselves right side up in our communication. Has freedom of speech become the art
of wise words with the ability not to offend, thus showing respect and honor to others without compromising our own convictions? After all who wants to offend people by opening their mouth and saying that part of their being, who they are and what they believe? I believe we all know the dilemma. Thank God we still have the freedom to worship and express our beliefs, even though it can become difficult to express the same in our everyday life. I picked up a conversation recently where the effort to select music for the seasonal holiday party without anything religious was reduced to several numbers that began with the likely selection of “Jingle Bells.” As a Navy Chaplain I have come to realize my ability to be sensitive to others to the point that I am careful not to impose my view on others—being aware. In this endeavor I have identified three kinds of spirituality that coexist in most people over the course of my career. The first is human spirituality, the ability of human beings to grow and develop. In the most positive sense it becomes the desire to be good and excel in life. The second kind is social or cultural spirituality. Almost any grouping of human beings has a social culture. Your family has norms,
memories, habits, customs and the like that become a family culture of spirituality. The same is true with our Navy when we hear morning colors, render salutes, tell sea stories and do all that binds us as those who wear the uniform. The third kind of spirituality I call Divine spirituality. This is how we understand God and express our First Amendment rights, the freedom to assemble and worship as we believe. As you may have surmised if you have reached this moment in the Chaplain’s Corner, the chaplain is never lost for words. There is so much more I would like to say on all of this but for the sake of the economy of words, I will close with this blessing. I wish you all the most meaningful celebration of your faith in this holy season. Please exercise your First Amendment opportunities to worship God in private or in the assembly other human beings who are hopefully the added blessing of that will cultivate your human spirituality as well as your social and cultural spirituality. Grace and peace, Chaplain Clore

Avoiding the holiday blues By Aaron J. Heiner, NDW Public Affairs For some people, holiday preparation can be a bit overwhelming and often times stressful. And for military families, the holiday season can also bring significant stress – especially when a loved one is away. If you or someone you know is experiencing the blues this holiday season try reaching out to the Military and Family Support Center (MFSC). They offer a variety of services which includes consultations and counseling. “We have clinical social workers available to assist anyone coping with depression caused by the stress from the holiday season,” said Aisha Ivey, clinical worker from MFSC. Service members and their families, and civilian personnel should also be aware of the differences between Clinical Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). According to Ivey, Clinical Depression happens over six or more months, while SAD occurs during the winter time when there is less sunlight. “Those suffering from long term clinical depression lose the desire to participate in activities they enjoy. They may suffer with feelings of loneliness and worthlessness,” Ivey said. “They may also lose sleep and their appetite. However, some might sleep or eat too much. If you are suffering from Clinical Depression, you should seek professional medical help.”
Ivey added that people who are ‘stuck’ inside due to the weather become depressed. “They do not suffer to the same extent as those who may be clinically depressed,” she stated. “Those suffering from SAD should spend time with people, and become socially more active.” Holiday blues can occur during any break from work or while on vacation. “The holiday blues can be short lived, from a few days to a few weeks," Ivey said. "But sometimes, it can be a few months from Thanksgiving until New Years." According to Ivey, those who are suffering from the holiday blues are often mindful of the potential stress brought forth by the holiday season. Some factors that can cause the holiday blues include: gift-giving, money, travel stress, inter-family relationships and military deployment. "Some of the stress can occur as the result of a recent passing of a loved one, or a divorce," she said."Sometimes, it is that they have no one to celebrate with, or they are expecting trouble when spending time with family." To avoid stress do not agree to do anything that could result in conflict while with friends and family. According to Ivy, people often agree to take on additional tasks, or responsibilities that may place them in difficult situations. "Be comfortable saying, no. If you don't have time

Replace old with new, give your Christmas tree a makeover By Aaron J. Heiner, NDW Public Affairs Ever thought of changing the look of your Christmas tree? Sure, we tend to decorate our tree the same old fashion way whether it’s sticking to old family tradition or changing themes every year. But if even so, let us not fall into the monotony of boring decorations. If you can afford to spend a few dollars, there are a few ideas and themes that you can play around to liven things up.
Try a new tree style Many people head out to the local tree farm for a pine tree, fir or spruce. And while a good number of individuals go for the artificial trees, those trees too are modeled after the varieties forementioned. More often than not the artificial trees have a brown plastic trunk and branches, with fake green pines. Go the extra mile, and consider an artificial tree where the needles are molded in white plastic to give the appearance of being snow covered. There are many other colors available including, red, orange and even blue, however these tend to come off as a bit tacky.
Try to embrace new technology Your lights may have seen better times. There may be missing or burnt out lights or strings that do not work at all.
Today's holiday lights use highly efficient LED bulbs. These bulbs can save you money by consuming less energy. A modern LED light can last upwards of 100,000 hours, where traditional tree lights have a life expectancy of a few hundred hours. Unlike traditional lights, the new LED lights do not become hot to the touch, which reduce the risk of fire.
Try some new ornaments Tired of the same old poorly made red, green, and silver holiday ornaments? Look to the Navy for some help. Show pride in your service to the country by replacing old decorations with new ones that scream Navy. Available in blue with yellow or white lettering, Navy ornaments are available at the Navy Exchange.
Tree topper stopper Rather than the traditional holiday star on the top of your tree, you may choose to leave it bare. This is a much safer option than climbing a ladder. Of course, if you need a tree topper, you may always go for a large red bow. With a little creativity, the same old boring holiday tree decorations can be replaced by exciting new ones, sure to please the eye that everyone could enjoy. Happy decorating!
Holiday gift wrapping alternatives spice up gift giving By Aaron J. Heiner, NDW Public Affairs Presenting your gifts in new and creative ways can add flair to your holiday presents and they do not have to cost a fortune or take a lot of time to create. Surprise your friends and family with these clever holiday gift wrapping ideas.
Change Your Stockings Add an unexpected twist to the classic red and white stocking. The classic red and white stocking has always been a holiday favorite for surprising your friends and loved ones with small gifts. However, who said stockings need to be red and white? Choose one with a design and size that fits your needs. Wrap a few layers of tissue paper around the gift and then place it inside the stocking. The tissue paper will keep the present hidden until it's time to unwrap it.
Trendy gift bags While popular, gift bags are easy to use; they can quickly become rather expensive, especially if many are needed. Instead of spending extra money on designer gift bags — use paper grocery bags. You can either place the item inside the paper bag like a standard gift
bag, or you can simply wrap the item in the bag as one would do with traditional wrapping paper. The bag then can easily be decorated with stickers, and/or glitter. Don't forget the bow.
Try disguising a gift Hiding a gift inside of another present is one more way to add fun and excitement while exchanging presents. Recycle a shipping box or a package container from different products to create a sense of anticipation. For example place an MP3 player inside an empty box of raisins, or a Lobstergram in an old AM/FM radio box. Other recyclable gift box ideas could include placing gifts inside of Tupperware, empty paint cans or even hollowed out books.
Wrap gift cards unexpectedly If you opt to give gift cards this year, try getting it wrapped inside a coffee mug or a new wallet. Or if you have several gift cards to pass out all at once, try using baseball card sleeves which may hold upwards of nine to twelve cards per sheet. There are endless possibilities to add fun ways to wrap and present gifts. With virtually little time and little cost, creative gift wrapping adds joy to the holiday season without breaking the bank.

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add beef. Cover or seal, and chill at least 8 hours, turning occasionally. Remove beef from marinade, discarding marinade. Place in a roasting pan; sprinkle evenly with pepper, and let stand 30 minutes. Bake at 500° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Lower temperature to 375°; bake 20 more minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Let tenderloin stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serves eight. Safety Note: It is recommended that beef be cooked to medium-rare doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees to ensure that harmful bacteria have been destroyed. A thick cut of beef that has been cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees may be removed from the oven, loosely covered, and allowed to rest a few minutes. The temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees reaching proper doneness.

BLUES Continued from 3 to do something, just say no to people and be very contented with that. Don't let people dictate what you are going to do," Ivey said. "If something happens and someone gets hurt, you will have to be the one who has to deal with it." The Naval Safety Center (NSC) advises to maintain good health during the holiday season. To avoid the holi-

Waterline day blues you should eat right, get plenty of rest and exercise regularly. Set realistic goals by organizing your time, make lists and follow a budget. Let go of the past and create new or different ways to celebrate. The NSC also recommends not drinking too much alcohol; over indulging in holiday foods; having unrealistic expectations of yourself or others; dwelling on the past and not spending money you do not have. If the stress of the holiday blues does manage to become overwhelm-
ing, help is available according to Ivey. "There are many resources available for you if you are suffering from holiday blues, Clinical Depression, or SAD.You can speak with clergy, friends and family,” Ivey said. “Talking with them may give valuable insight. Also, you can always contact the Military and Family Support Center.” Ivey welcomes those who decide additional assistance is needed to visit the MFSC. "We have licensed clinical professionals on staff," she said. "The MFSC
offers service members and their immediate family between eight and 12 counseling sessions free of charge." Those who wish to take advantage of the services provided are advised to visit the MFSC, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. "If scheduling is a problem, active and retired service members may take advantage of Military OneSource. They can provide referrals to clinics in the local community," Ivey said. "The important thing is to know that we are here to help."
The MFSC is located in building 72 at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. For more information on the MFSC, please visit: www.cnic.navy.mil/JBAB/ WarfighterAndFamilyReadiness/SupportServices/index.htm.

THEFT Continued from 1 "Most common techniques identity thieves use to steal personal data involve the use of email phishing, malicious smart phone apps, social engineering, worms, viruses including malware and keystroke loggers," he said. Phishing and malware are the most reported form of identity theft, because of the ease in which these programs can access personal data off of a computer once opened from an email. "An email may contain a link to fraudulent website. Even though the email and website may look legitimate, that email may have been spoofed [faked]," Murphy stated. "By going to that link, you may accidently install malware."Malware is a form of computer virus that arrives as an attachment in an email or a webpage link. The program is designed to trick the recipient to open it. Once the malware is running, it then steals personal data or email addresses before attempting to infect other computers. Those emails may come from trusted email addresses but from
Waterline an infected computer. Murphy notes one way to keep malware and other malicious software off your computer is to use anti-virus software. Nevertheless, most anti-virus software is subscription based, and many people allow their subscription to lapse. When they do, this leaves a computer vulnerable to attack. "Keep all anti-virus software up to date," Murphy reiterated. "Keeping your anti-virus software current is one of the best defenses to protect your personal data from being stolen. However, even with up-to-date anti-virus software, people should still use caution when online." Some extra precautions he said, was to not use the same passwords for all online accounts—using different passwords for as many websites as possible. "Use complex passwords, special characters or make passwords from acronyms and phrases to keep hackers from gaining access to online accounts," said Murphy. "And never give passwords out online, especially to people on social media sites." Murphy went on to say, people should also be careful when posting anything personal to social media, which has become a primary target for identity thieves.

"Facebook reports 600,000 attempts to break in to the 800,000,000 accounts each day. Facebook does not report how many of those attempts are successful," he added. One aspect most people do not think about while on social media is how personal travel plans are posted, and who has access to read them. "Use diligence when posting personal information on Facebook, and never post travel plans to it," he added, noting that potential burglars use social media to determine if a house may be vulnerable to a break in. You should be aware of who has access to your Facebook page. According to Facebook, a good way to ensure the thieves can’t see what you post is simply by not allowing unknown people to see that information in the first place. Make sure that your security settings are set so strangers are unable to view your wall and info pages. "Always check security settings in case of automatic opt-ins. Every time Facebook updates its security procedures, your account is automatically defaulted to the new settings,” Murphy said. “The changes may allow unauthorized people to see your personal information. While Facebook is getting better at alerting users of these policy changes, you should check your security settings regularly." Facebook is not the only location cyber criminals look to in order to steal personal information. The Naval Safety Center also has some tips and advice for shopping online this season. Use credit cards for online transactions and do not send cash when shopping online. Make sure you have a secure connection so a third party cannot intercept your private data. Always shop from reputable online retailers— if an internet site offers something too good to be true, the site may be a fake. Make sure when you shop online, to create an account with strong password protection. If your personal data is stolen, Murphy reminds people that your financial institution is there to help. "In case, your financial data is breeched, or your identity is stolen notify your bank and cancel your credit cards immediately."
