DoD, Nation Mourns Death of Senator John S. McCain By Jim Garamone DoD News

United States senator and retired Navy Capt. John S. McCain died August 24, 2018, in Arizona after a long battle with cancer. He was 81. McCain chaired the Senate Armed Services Committee, but it was his life of service and his heroism in Vietnam that inscribed his name in the hearts of service members everywhere. “We have lost a man who steadfastly represented the best ideals of our country,” Defense Secretary James N. Mattis said in a DoD release. “As a naval officer and defiant prisoner of war, John McCain stood with his brothers-in-arms until they

returned home together.” McCain, the grandson and son of four-star Navy admirals, was captured in North Vietnam in 1967. He was wounded in ejecting from his aircraft. The North Vietnamese sought to gain propaganda by torturing him into asking for an out-of-sequence release. He refused to leave. He spent more than five years in the Hanoi Hilton. Selfless Service to the Nation “Passionately committed to our country, Senator McCain always put service to the nation before self,” Mattis wrote. “He recognized that for our experiment in democracy to long endure, people of action and passion must serve. In this he repre-

sented what he believed, that ‘a shared purpose does not claim our identity – on the contrary, it enlarges your sense of self.’” McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He trained as an aviator and volunteered for service as a Navy pilot in Vietnam. “Senator McCain exemplified what it means to be a warrior and dedicated public servant,” Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a written release. “Both as a naval officer and as a member of Congress, he was a lifelong and tireless advocate for the men and women of the U.S. military.” NATION MOURNS JOHN MCCAIN

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

Senator John S. McCain’s passing this week was deeply felt by the Navy and our senior leadership. The Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson, referred to the senator as a “great warrior and patriot,” and stated that “the U.S. Navy mourns the loss of a true shipmate.” Senator McCain was of course famous for his service as a naval aviator during Vietnam, and his bravery, integrity, and tireless leadership while being held as a prisoner of war. As ADM Richardson said, it is very sad to lose a shipmate, but I think it’s also an opportunity to reflect on our own service and how we can draw strength and motivation from those who have gone before us. All of us, from active duty personnel to DoD civilian employees, play an important role in the service of our nation. This is especially true as Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) integral to operations in this area of responsibility (AOR). I’d like to invite you all to join me this weekend in thinking about the importance of what we do and about how the examples set by past shipmates, like Senator McCain, can offer us guidance and inspiration. This week also marked the end of the Ferragosto holiday season for Italians. As Americans, we will be rolling right into another holiday next week as Labor Day will be observed Monday, September 3rd. This is a great opportunity to rest, relax, and spend time with your families. The holiday started in the 1880’s, to celebrate American workers. During that time period, trade and labor unions were growing in popularity in the States, and their leaders started taking note of holidays celebrating workers in other countries. By 1894, 30 U.S. States celebrated the holiday independently, influenced by local labor movements. That same year President Grover Cleveland signed a federal law making the holiday official throughout the entire country. Next week, as you spend time with your families, take a moment to remember that we are celebrating this important group of people, the American worker, whom we serve to protect every day. Holidays are also great times to take advantage of how easy and inexpensive travel is here in Italy. A lot of people like bringing souvenirs back from travel, a great way to remember a fun trip. If those souvenirs are bottles of alcohol though, please remember that they can’t be shipped through the military postal system (MPS). The Fleet Logistics Center postal team here in Naples has unfortunately confiscated a record number of parcels containing alcohol recently. Please remember that alcohol can only be shipped through customs either off base or at the pack and wrap store in the Support Site main NEX. Customers violating MPS regulations regarding the shipment of alcohol risk having the contents of their package confiscated. Repeat offenders could lose MPS privileges. Please help us continue to do the basics right by following all postal rules and regulations. As always, thanks for reading the Panorama!

Children Visit Support Site Fire Station, Firefighters By Sheryl Igmen, RN Fleet & Family Support Center

On the morning of June 6, 2018, about 30 military children and parents toured the Naval Support Activity (NSA) Fire Station onboard Support Site as part of the monthly playgroup provided through a collaboration by the New Parent Support Home Visitation Program of Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC) and Educational & Developmental Intervention Services (EDIS). The New Parent Support Home Visitation Program is a family oriented program that helps families expecting a child or currently with children through age four. Home visiting topics can include pre and postnatal information, newborn care and child’s growth and development, and a lot more. EDIS is an early intervention program that offers educational and rehabilitative services for children with developmental delays. During the tour the families learned about using age-appropriate fire safety skills, and about firefighting equipment and other tools firefighters use. Lead Fire Inspector Donald Warnick and the team of firefighters at the NSA Naples Fire & Emergency Services did a wonderful job making sure the kids had a great time talking to the firefighters about their work

and learning important fire safety tips. The children were allowed to sit in the fire trucks and posed for photos on the fire ladder. Everyone enjoyed themselves and each child was given their own fire hats to take home. Inspector Warnick and the crew had so much fun, they said we should schedule another visit soon. Rebecca Harris, said her son Bowen had a great time, especially meeting the Fire Fighters and being allowed to sit on the fire truck. “Bowen now wears his fire hat (that the Fire Fighters gave him), and runs around the house making fire truck sounds ‘bee baw, bee baw’” Harris said. The next monthly play group theme is Hungry Caterpillar – which is based on the popular children’s book about birth, life and transformation – and is scheduled for September 12 at 10 a.m. at the Community Center onboard Support Site. This play group will include the USO Teddy Bear Club and Connect the Tots (both organizations provide families with babies and toddlers to play and mingle with the goal to give the children a fun and safe place to socialize learn and grow).

HISTORY: FIRST SHIP NAMED FOR BLACK SAILOR From NSA Public Affairs

On August 31, 1943, the first Navy ship named for a black Sailor, the Buckleyclass destroyer escort, USS Harmon (DE 678), was commissioned. The ship was named in honor Mess Attendant First Class Leonard Roy Harmon, who was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for heroism during the Battle of Guadalcanal. The ship was built by Bethlehem Steel Co., of Quincy, Massachusetts, and her sponsor was Harmon’s mother, Naunita Harmon Carroll. Harmon was born in Cuero, Texas, on January 21, 1917, a small town in

Southeast Texas, about half way between San Antonio and Houston, and graduated from Daule High School – what was then a blacks-only institution. After graduation Harmon did manual labor in his hometown for several years before deciding to enlist in the Navy. Once his mind was made up, Harmon was determined to serve his country. He originally tried to enlist at a recruiting station in San Antonio, but was turned away due to a minor heart condition. He returned to Cuero, and sought medical help to fix his condition. After overcoming that obstacle, he successfully enlisted in the Navy on June 10,

1939, at a recruiting station in Houston. Following boot camp and mess attendant “A” school at Norfolk, Virginia, Harmon reported to the New Orleans-class heavy cruiser USS San Francisco (CA 38) in October 1939. About a month before the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Harmon was promoted to first class. San Francisco was at dry-dock at Pearl Harbor when the attack took place. Although her main guns were dismantled, the Sailors defended their ship with small arms. San Francisco was one of the few ships in the harbor to survive the attack unscathed, and she was quickly

returned to sea. Nearly a year later, San Francisco was protecting transports that were bringing much-needed supplies to U.S. Marines during the Battle of Guadalcanal. The Battle of Guadalcanal, which lasted from August 1942 to February 1943 was the first major offensive in the Pacific theater, and though it was a costly victory for the United States, it became the turning point of the war. The Japanese invaded Guadalcanal early in the summer of 1942 to construct an airfield. Despite being not properly prepared for an invasion, the Allies, led by the United States were determined to take the island, partly as payback for Pearl Harbor, and also because a Japanese air base could put Australia at risk of aerial attack. On November 13, 1942, Japanese planes attacked the fleet at Guadalcanal. A kamikaze crashed into the San Francisco’s radar and fire-control station, resulting in 50 men being killed and wounded. The next day, enemy fighters strafed San Francisco’s bridge, killing nearly every officer on the ship. Throughout the fight, and despite withering enemy fire, Harmon repeatedly dragged his comrades to safety and attended to their wounds. He died while using his own body to shield a wounded shipmate from gunfire. Harmon was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for “extraordinary heroism.” On May 21, 1943, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox announced

Mess Attendant First Class Leonard Roy Harmon

that a warship would be named for Harmon. What made the naming of the ship remarkable was that Harmon was black. At a time of widely accepted segregation at home and in uniform, it was the first U.S. warship to carry the name of an African-American. The Harmon, a 1,400-ton Buckley-class destroyer escort, was assigned to the Third and Seventh Fleets. She participated in the January 1945 landings at Lingayen Gulf, Leyte, and in March operated off Iwo Jima. She received three battle stars for her World War II service. Harmon was decommissioned in March 1947 and remained inactive until being scrapped in 1967. In 1975, the bachelor enlisted quarters at Naval Air Station North Island, California, was renamed Harmon Hall. Two years later the state of Texas recognized him with a state historical marker at the municipal park in his hometown.

1. Buy Smart – When shopping for a new or used vehicle (or even renting a vehicle), choose the cleanest, most fuel-efficient vehicle that meets your needs. With a wide range of clean, fuel-efficient vehicles available today, it’s easier than ever to go green – for the environment, and for your wallet. Check out EPA's Green Vehicle Guide or www.fueleconomy.gov to find the best, most comprehensive information on vehicle emissions and fuel economy. 2. Drive Smart – To improve your fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, go easy on the brakes and gas pedal, avoid hard accelerations, reduce your time spent idling (no more than 30 seconds), and unload unnecessary items in your trunk to reduce weight. If you have a removable roof rack and you are not using it, take it off to improve your fuel economy. Use cruise control if you have it, and for vehicles with selectable four-wheel drive, consider operating in two-wheel drive mode when road conditions make it safe to do so. 3. Remember Maintenance – Get regular tune-ups, follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule (which can be found in your owner’s manual), and use the recommended grade of motor oil. A well-maintained car is more fuel-efficient, produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, is more reliable, and is safer! 4. Proper Tire Inflation – Check your tire pressure regularly. Under-inflation increases tire wear, reduces your fuel economy, and leads to higher greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emissions. If you don’t know the correct tire pressure for your vehicle, you can find it listed on the door to your vehicle’s glove compartment, or on the driver's-side door pillar. And when it’s time for new tires, consider purchasing tires with “low rolling resistance,” an energy-saving feature. 5. Give Your Car a Break – Use public transportation, carpool, walk or bike whenever possible to avoid using your car. Leaving your car at home just two days a week can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by an average of two tons per year. Also consider telecommuting (working from home via phone or the Internet), which can reduce the stress of commuting, reduce harmful emissions, and save you money. And when driving, try combining your errands and activities into one trip.

The first cease-fire unleashed the Afghan people’s desire for peace and an end to violence on a national and unprecedented scale, the general added. “And numerous groups across Afghanistan – the People’s Peace Movement, religious [scholars], civil society, youth activists, women’s groups – are all calling for peace,” he said. Nicholson emphasized that any negotiations over the political future of Afghanistan will be between the Taliban and the Afghan government. “This must be an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned peace process, with Afghans talking to Afghans. And the U.S. is prepared to support, facilitate and participate in these discussions,” Nicholson told reporters. Taliban Progression Officials also have seen a clear progression in the Taliban’s public statements, including a Feb. 14 letter letter to the American people and the group’s recent message marking the Eid al-Adha religious holiday, in which Taliban Emir Hibatullah Akhundzada acknowledged for the first time that negotiations will ensure an end to

There is an unprecedented opportunity for peace right now, and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is working to take advantage of it,” Nicholson said. “He offered a second cease-fire on Aug. 19,” he added, “and while this first ceasefire was in response to the [body of religious scholars’] call for peace, this second call represents the entirety of Afghan society.” The general told reporters that Ghani said the cease-fire potentially could last till Nov. 20, the birthday of the prophet Mohammad. “However, the cease-fire will only occur if the Taliban reciprocate, and only for as long as the Taliban participate in the cease-fire,” Nicholson said. “And so far, we have not heard if the Taliban will accept or reject the cease-fire, and we’re prepared for either case. And like the first cease-fire, this only applies to the Taliban.

In 2016, you remember, there were eight attempts to seize provincial capitals.” Such attacks in cities bring great hardship on the Afghan people, Nicholson said, adding that the Taliban repeatedly claim not to

cause civilian casualties, but “their actions show otherwise.” The general, who is retiring soon, acknowledged the courage of the Afghan security forces and the Afghan people who fight terrorism every day. “[They] do this on our behalf for the entire world,” he said. “It’s been an honor to serve alongside them for six years, and I thank them for their hospitality.”

Wine and San Gennaro Energize September Events By Lou Freed

As fun-in-the-sun August activities come to a close, it’s time to look at the round-up of September events paving the way for autumn’s descent in the Campania region celebrated through chromatic and delightful festivals. But first, remember to save September 2, the first Sunday of the month, to visit state and some civic museums, archaeological sites and historic monuments free of charge, thanks to Italy’s Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. See details below. Then, moving towards the fall season events and its bounty, Torrecuso in Benevento province, will jumpstart the mood for vino (and harvests in general) tonight through September 2 to be followed by Solopaca’s Grape Floats parade on September 9 and by Cusano Mutri’s Mushroom Fest September 21 to October 7. Indeed, it’s that time of the year for local taste and culture encounters in Campania known for plentiful agricultural produce. Momentous in the Neapolitan calendar, September 19 is the time for Naples, especially in the fishing town of Pozzuoli plus its Phlegrean Fields’ neighbors, to celebrate Naples’s patron saint, San Gennaro. The miraculous liquefaction of his blood on the said day or thereabouts ensures a catastrophe-free city. The phenomenon has inspired an interesting pizza event in Pozzuoli’s church cloister on September 17, as part of the 2018 Pozzuoli Malazè’s September 15 to 25 activities. Lastly, for lovers of dance and romances, the San Carlo Theater resumes its 2018 happy feet season with “La Dame aux Camélias” to be presented by stellar interpreters September 15 to 22. First Sunday at the Museum As mentioned above, visit your favorite state and civic museum gratis this Sunday courtesy of the 2014 Franchescini decree from the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. Whether the program will continue or not remains unknown at this time. Be mindful that this event draws crowds, making it important to arrive early. Also, some state museums may require bookings or have specific free entry times such as Pompeii. Too, some museum exhibits may be exempt from the program. So be sure to call the museum prior to visiting. Learn more at http://www.beniculturali.it/ Wine and Harvest Fests Vinestate –Torrecuso (BN) The town kicks off this event tonight then runs through Sept-ember 2 with talks on and tastings of the full-bodied Aglianico wine known to mellow pleas-

antly with age. The event, meant to educate wine newbies or enrich “wineknows,” includes musical entertainment besides others. Details at http://www.vinestate.it/ Festa dell’ uva – Solopaca (BN) In heralding the wine season in the town replete with vineyards, vibrant, entertaining and grape-adorned floats will parade through the town on September 9. Organizers describe the event as a fusion of art, humor, music and the divine nectar. Situated at the foot of Mount Camposauro by the Taburno River, Solopaca may not have the winding vineyards in northern wine towns, but surprisingly, farmers there raise Tuscan grape varieties (Sangiovese and Trebbiano) besides the Campanian native varieties (Aglianico, Falanghina, Coda di Volpe and Malvasia di Candia aka Cerreto). The result of growing these varieties from two regions is the town’s DOC (Denominazione Origine Controllata or Origin-Controlled) red and white wines, blending Tuscan and Campanian grapes that pair well with roast meats like lamb. Festivities begin at 9:30 a.m. By 3 p.m., view the floats up close in the town’s main street. Event poster at https://www. facebook.com/festadelluvasolopaca Sagra dei funghi - Cusano Mutri (BN) Traditionally, the lovely, hilly (wear comfy shoes) medieval town of Samnite origins, welcomes armies of foodies ready to lap up the unique food flavors enriched by porcini mushrooms pairing well with Aglianico wine. Details on the scrumptious September 2 to October 7 event will soon be available at https://www.facebook.com/ sagradeifunghicusanomutri Honoring San Gennaro Church services Commemorating Naples’s beloved patron saint on Sept-ember 19 begins with a morning mass at the Naples Duomo or Cathedral in the Historic Center as well as at the saint’s cozy namesake church in panoramic Pozzuoli. Residents believe the hill topped by a cross above the Pozzuoli San Gennaro Church was the site where Romans decapitated the good bishop of Benevento. Others speculate the martyrdom took place right where the church now stands. Tradition holds the bloodstained stone in one of the church’s chapels is either where the saint’s head rested on his martyrdom or where the stone had touched the saint’s blood. Regardless of location, the stone, said to have a special glow reminiscent of drops of blood on the saint’s special day, continues to draw the faithful or otherwise to the church.

Customarily, brightly colored light arches adorn the Pozzuoli church a few days leading up to the celebrations. Festivities usually feature a musical show and fireworks display plus a procession of the saint’s bust with Franciscan priests and a band. For queries, call the church at 081-526-1114. La pizza del miracolo di San Gennaro (The pizza of San Gennaro’s Miracle) Join the fun evening inspired by the saint’s miracle on September 17 at the San Gennaro Church cloister in Pozzuoli. Ten pizzerias will be represented to please palates on the historic Neapolitan style pie starting at 7 p.m. While there, don’t miss pizzaiolo Diego Vitagliano’s Pizza Margherita and his special technique of making sun dried tomatoes “liquefy” during cooking. (Seriously, a photo op.) Proceeds from the 10-euro participation fee will benefit the Church’s canteen for the poor and is part of the Malazè program below. More info through 081-1858-1919 or info@pizzeria10.it Phlegrean Fields’ Malazè Mark September 15-25 for the zone’s “ArcheoEnoGastronomico dei Campi Flegrei” program of events promoting the area’s sights, sounds and flavors. Enchanting bay views, intriguing volcanic craters, archaeological sites and myths, amazing seafood along with wines are great attractions for the entire area including Pozzuoli (home to Solfatara Volcano), Baia, Bacoli, Monte di Procida and Quarto. “Malazè,” derives from the ancient word for “fishermen’s warehouse,” and the initiative is a great team effort involving local tourism officials as well as dozens of associations (Association of Italian Sommeliers and Slow Food among others) businesses, restaurateurs and wine producers. The 2018 calendar of activities range from guided tours to canoeing or kayaking or bird watching; from wine tastings to dining and more that are filtered on the event’s website by hub (Rione Terra, Baia Castle, and Astroni Crater) or by the “Gusto” and “Our Phlegrean Fields” themes or by the Slow Food Association’s agenda. Check out details at http://www.malaze.it/ Festival of the Orient and Naples Meets the World On September 14-16, experience the magical cultures and traditions of China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, India, Mongolia and Nepal among others through typical gastronomy, folklore shows, martial arts and natural medicines, 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Mostra d’Oltremare. It is near the Campi Flegrei station and the Naples

soccer stadium. Simultaneously running on the dates above is the “Naples Meets the World” program with folklore and gastronomy of the U.S., Ireland, Latin America and Spain. What’s more, the “Holi” and “Country Music” festivals are also thrown into the mix. Can you afford to miss this chance to see and taste parts of the world in a day in one venue? The entry fee of 12 euros is for all events. Paid parking is available at the venue. Learn more at http://www.festivaldelloriente.com Ballet La Dame Aux Camelias (The Lady with Camelias) At the core of this presentation is the beautiful courtesan Marguerite suffering from consumption and leading a lustful lifestyle. Notwithstanding the rich and influential men she knows, she falls in love with the young Armand from whom she keeps her illness. Leaving Paris to live with her beau (cougar-like), she eventually abandons him due to a series of events articulated through beautiful choreography by Derek Deane. Preeminent interpreters include Maria Yakovleva (the Prima Ballerina of the Staatballet in Vienna) as Marguerite with Anna Chiara Amirante and Claudia D’Antonio as alternates on different dates. Alessandro Staiano, Istvan Simon (Principal Guest Artist) and Stanislao Capissi will likewise take turns as Armand. Sharing the stage will be the San Carlo Theater Ballet Corps and the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra. Performances are slated September 15 to 22.
