Holiday flags for more than mere show By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

It seems to happen magically on every major national holiday of the year: The streets of Oak Harbor suddenly blossom with red, white and blue, as hundreds of American flags welcome the morning. Oak Harbor is noted for being a patriotic Navy town, yet it may come as a surprise to learn that the responsibility for these flags rests not with the city, but with private citizens, businesses and Oak Harbor Lions Club volunteers. “The ‘Old Glory’ program has become

t was an event more than 65 years in the making. Monday afternoon, in front of the PBY Catalina aircraft on display at the PBY Memorial Foundation on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base, Elbridge Gockerell, 87, finally got his Aircrew Wings. “(Elbridge Gockerell) was an

Aviation Radioman and it was all on-the-job-training. He never went through (training at) Pensacola, so he was never awarded his wings,” said Capt. Peter Garvin, Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10. Gockerell, who now lives in Sequim with Jean, his wife of 58 years, enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in Dec., 1942. He was called to duty in March, 1943. Following boot camp, he attended radio school for six months in Atlantic City. “My company had 120 men when radio school started. It got down to 79, and I was 79,” he said with a chuckle. “There was a rumor going around that torpedo training would be a lot better,

so I had kind of eased up on the radio training, thinking maybe I’d change.” In the end, Gockerell managed to finish radio school, passing the Morse code requirement of 20 wordsper-minute. He was sent to the Coast Guard Air Station in San Francisco, he said, where he was put to work making an inventory of radio equipment. “My on-the-job training ultimately started on the OS 2 Kingfisher, then patrol bombers,” he said. “There were five of us on the flight deck (of the patrol bomber). The pilot, radar operator, copilot, radioman and the flight

Some of these include covering the

costs of hearing and vision exams; glasses and hearing aids; health screenings and scholarships. In fact, the Lions Health Screening Unit for hearing and vision provided screenings recently to elementary school children in the Oak Harbor School District. According to Charli Van Cleve, co-owner of Van Cleve Optical, and a member of the Lions herself, if people knew about the good things that resulted from the flag project, there would likely be even more flags waving in Oak Harbor on holidays than

the present 300-plus. “In our last fiscal year, we furnished 63 pairs of eyeglasses for people who needed vision care and equipment underwritten by the Lions. With six months still left to go, we’re way past that number (at 84), due to the economy and people being out of work,” said Van Cleve. The flag project accomplishes good while serving a double purpose, Van Cleve said. “That flag being there is also a conscious reminder of what that holiday is about, whether the holiday be Veterans Day, Martin Luther King Day, whatever,” she said. Ryan said when the flag program started in Oak Harbor back in 1983, their goal was to set out 55 sponsored flags. “After the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened, many more people stepped forward to support the project,” said Ryan. “By 2011, we had seen the numbers grow to over 320 American flags,” he said. Setting out the flags on holiday and local event days has turned into quite an undertaking. According

to Sharon Ryan, Jim’s wife, just before dawn, four teams load approximately 80 flags each into pickup trucks outfitted with flashing caution lights. With the route mapped out and divided into sections, the Lions install the flags into prepared holes in concrete sidewalks. Just before dusk, the teams retrace their route, picking up and stowing the flags until the next special occasion. The entire process, from display to take-down, lasts about 3-and-a-half hours total depending on weather and traffic. “Wintertime takes a little longer, because sometimes the flagpole bases fill up with water and freeze,” said Ryan. Great care is taken with the flags during storage to prolong their serviceable life, he said. “We roll them up carefully, ensuring that they are not wet, which invites mildew,” Ryan said. “The rolled flags are then stowed in metal storage lockers on one of our member’s property.” Ryan inspects the flags regularly. “We have some flags of high quality that have lasted 10 to 12 years,” said Ryan. “As they fade, we replace them.” Once a flag has reached the end of its serviceable life, it is retired in an official ceremony, normally around Flag Day in June, with help from local Boy Scout Troop 59, said Ryan.

During the eight-week training program, Miller completed a vigorous training curriculum consisting of academics and practical instruction on water safety and survival, military customs and courtesies, seamanship skills, physical fitness, health and wellness, first aid, fire fighting and marksmanship. Miller is a 2011 graduate of Oak Harbor High School of Oak Harbor.

Love ’n money A

ccording to a survey by American Express, nine out of 10 people avoid discussing money with their mate. Don’t be a statistic! It’s to your advantage to work together — the sooner the better. Whatever circumstances you’re in, they will only improve by looking at the facts and creating common goals. How to get started: AnnualCreditReport.com is your key to a free credit report, no strings attached. Request a copy, check for errors and evaluate your credit standing. Employment, insurance, housing, and military service are affected by your credit history. Mint.com is a trusted site for creating a whole picture of your financial accounts and goals. Online or on-the-go, you can record, track and reflect on your progress. The Consumer’s Almanac from the Federal Citizens Information Center (FCIC at publications.usa.gov) is a free, printable, 32-page resource which provides calendars and helpful financial advice for the entire year. Have the Talk(s): Once you have the data, sit down with your spouse, in a neutral atmosphere. It might not be the most romantic date, but the money saved and chaos avoided will encourage bliss between you for years. Bring to the table your money goals, wishes, and dreams. Together, choose your top three priorities. Evaluate your current spending and expenses for possible reductions. Whether you use a website like Mint. com, or an “on-paper” system such as the Consumer’s Almanac, make sure it works for both of you. Set a date to come back and review your progress and to reward yourselves with a small “milestone” treat. It’s his (or her) spending that’s the problem: The stories couples can tell are sometimes lighthearted, sometimes an agonizing illustration of how opposites attract. It can be tough also if you’re the only one in the “team” that wants to reach long-term goals. My suggestion is for the motivated to share with the unmotivated to define what treats or treasures are of interest to your spouse. In couponing, for example, we convert “noncouponers” by obtaining their luxuries in a less-expensive way. Showing them the receipts and the breathing room in the checkbook are also convincing methods of gaining their participation. The same method of conversion can work for other money matters. Enlist help by starting from their perspective and including some of what inspires them to keep working towards a common goal. Saving for Life: In the cycle of “paycheck to paycheck” in which we might find ourselves, the whole picture of our finances is just too big for us to contemplate amidst our busy lives. Saving the daily coffee or lunch expenses by bringing your own, trading a “night out” to fund your emergency account, and putting off that must-have purchase until it’s on sale – will all help get your financial health in better condition. Document your savings on a calendar or bulletin board, or better yet, with a friend who’s your accountability partner. Follow those successes with reaching designated savings goals for each of your money priorities (home, debt reduction, emergency fund, vacation, holidays, etc.). Evaluate, adjust, record, then notice your progress. Repeat, of course, with good communication and shared priorities. You’ll “earn” your way to a lifetime of the best for your family and a legacy that you’ll be proud of. For help with those homemade lunches and beverages, visit the website of your favorite manufacturer. You’ll find recipes, create-a-meal tools, and more. Invest in a few solid travel containers, exchange surprise love notes in the brown bags and enjoy new foods to keep the novelty fresh.

ANA kicks off new year with family affair Association of Naval Aviation to hear father and son By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

he Association of Naval Aviation began its new year with a line-up of speakers who share more than just a brothers-in-arms connection: The January meeting at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club

Tuesday featured retired Air Force Col. Reed Craig, who treated the audience to a fascinating account of a lifetime of aviation. In February, the ANA looks forward to hearing Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Navy Cmdr. Jeff Craig, who will describe the first combat deployment of the EA-18G Growler during his tour as Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commanding officer. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting began with the intelligence briefing given by Intelligence Specialist 3rd Class Chris Powell. Powellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subject was the ongoing threat by Iran to close the Strait of

Hormuz, a major shipping channel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This marks the second time in three weeks that Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz,â&#x20AC;? said Powell. He described the situation as having the potential to not only unsettle the economy, but one which could have international implications as well, since the European Union is discussing a boycott on Iranian oil. Scott Hornung, ANA president, introduced Dana Ledford, the 2011 recipient of the Dorothy M. Flatley award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This award is granted to someone who has provided extraordinary inspirational

support,â&#x20AC;? said Hornung, upon introducing Ledford. He also explained some of the history of the award itself, and the honor it bestows. Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation included aircraft he piloted during his career, ranging from the T-34 model all the way to the B-52 bomber, which he flew in combat tours over Vietnam. An extended account of his presentation will be featured in the Jan. 20 edition of Whidbey Crosswind. The next meeting of the ANA will take place at 11 a.m., Feb. 14 at the NAS Whidbey Island Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club.

District leader commends local DAV chapter By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

Local Disabled American Veterans chapter 47 already enjoys a great track record for its active involvement on behalf of veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues. That assessment was validated by District Commander 1 Raney White, of Bellingham, who paid a visit during the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jan. 5 meeting at Oak Harbor Library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the process of visiting local chapters, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive what you are doing here,â&#x20AC;? said White. He also said it was a great asset that the chapter has office space on Naval Air Station Whidbey Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seaplane Base, something other chapters do not have. White updated members on changes to the Seattle VA hospital emergency room department as well as opportunities to support sporting events for disabled veterans. He also requested chapter members consider providing honor guard volunteers to District One for services and ceremonies at Tahoma National Cemetery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members are so

appreciative of having their loved ones honored in this way,â&#x20AC;? said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If your chapter members were to help out on some of these occasions, it would be deeply appreciated by many.â&#x20AC;? Another visitor, Oak Harbor resident and Navy veteran Gary Jackson, shared his hopes and plans to one day see a one-stop veterans center on the island. Jackson expressed his thanks for what DAV is already doing, and noted that many veterans are due to return shortly from Iraq and Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can somehow speed up the process to address their needs, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical, job opportunities or counseling, we reduce the chances of them possibly falling into despair or resorting to desperate measures,â&#x20AC;? said Jackson. DAV already helps further these goals in significant ways, as monthly statistics show. For example, December, despite being a holiday month, still saw 87 veterans make use of the DAV van for VA hospital appointments in Seattle, said chapter commander John Callahan.

In other business, chapter adjutant Michelle McClain gave out legislative updates for veterans on a variety of fronts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These updates cover a lot of ground,â&#x20AC;? said McClain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They include everything from a planned increase in the clothing allowance for disabled veterans to special tax credits for hiring veterans,â&#x20AC;? she said. Closer to home, the Holland Happening parade is just around the corner, said McClain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a little time to decide if we would like to march in the parade or make a presence in some other way,â&#x20AC;? she said. The local organization starts planning months ahead for its biggest yearly fundraiser, the forget-me-not fund drive on Veterans Day. In the meantime, chapter treasurer Missy Vaughnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th -hour application for a 2011 philanthropic grant paid off: Walmart recently sent the chapter a letter promising a $200 check in a couple of weeks, said Vaughn. The DAVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next meeting will be held Feb. 2 at Oak Harbor Library.

The challenging thing about birthdays There are some heavy-hitting birthdays coming up, not the least of which includes Martin Luther King, Jr. Next month we’ll honor two of our country’s most famous presidents, although they have to share a combined holiday. While I’ve never celebrated with a president or a leader of King’s caliber, there are plenty of family birthdays to keep track of. I used to be able to keep up with them all. I made cards, I shopped for gifts and most importantly, I got them mailed in time. I’ve gone from mailing greetings in time to sending belated greetings to, sadly, not sending them at all. I’m ashamed to admit I’m probably two years behind in sending birthday KATHY wishes to my nieces in Minnesota. REED Each year, I tell myself I’ll do better. I thought I had succeeded this year. My mother-in-law just celebrated her 82nd birthday this week. I was so proud when we had her celebration early, knowing I’d be at work on the big day. But I was also pleased with myself because I’d remembered to buy cards for two of my nieces. Danica’s birthday, unfortunately, had come and gone right after Christmas. Hmm, missed that one. But technically, it was last year, so I’m actually ahead of the game. Greta’s is the same day as my mother-in-law’s. Sydnee won’t celebrate until April and Claire won’t have a birthday until July. I bought two belated birthday cards for Danica and Greta. I told myself I’d go right home and address them and have them in the mail first thing Monday morning. Well, somewhere between taking down the Christmas decorations, doing the grocery shopping, putting the house back together, baking and decorating Mom’s cake and making an early birthday dinner, I completely forgot the cards. Once again, the lame aunt in Washington had to send a text message to their mom, my sister, asking her to pass along wishes for a happy day. In an effort to make amends, I plan to clip this column out and tuck it into one of the cards I hope to get in the mail in the near future. If nothing else, I know it will make my sister laugh, as I’m still waiting for my last birthday card from her. (I seem to remember getting a voice mail wishing me a happy birthday the day after my actual birthday.) That’s it! It’s a genetic problem. I’m off the hook! If any of you has a birthday still to come this year, and I think the odds are in my favor — Happy Birthday! Please don’t expect a card.

ord, my 11-year-old son, wrote the first round of invitations for Dinner with the Smileys (you can read his invitation on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ sarah.is.smiley), so he wanted to set the table for our first guest, Sen. Susan Collins. I told him to Google “proper place setting” because I was busy making sure I didn’t burn the lasagna, a recipe passed down from a fellow military wife. Plates and silverware banged together as Ford moved between the kitchen and table. I knew he was on the right track when he asked if I’d be serving a salad and whether or not he should include “the small forks.” Owen and Lindell were in the living room watching their favorite SpongeBob episode — in reverse.

Owen came into the kitchen with his fake pack of gum, the ARAH one that smacks your finger if you try to pull out a piece. “Can MILEY I show this to the senator?” he asked. I took the opportunity to tell the boys there would be no gags, no whoopie cushions and no potty humor. Ford still worked at setting the table. I grew nervous that he might never finish. “The senator will be here soon,” I said. “Let’s make sure the table is ready.” “You can’t rush a good place setting,” Ford said. “That’s what the website says, at least.” The senator arrived promptly at 6 p.m. with the head of her Bangor office, Carol Woodcock.

Washington’s only state-endorsed, online, nonprofit university is a great fit for military veterans and their families. For 10 years, Jim Craft struggled to make college fit around the demands of family, his military work schedule, volunteer activities, and limited class availability. Then he found WGU Washington’s flexible, competency-based online programs, and it took just 2½ years to earn his bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. “It cost less than what I was getting from the GI Bill,” says Jim, a retired Air Force avionics systems technician in Spokane.

WGU Washington was named one of the nation’s Top Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities by Military Advanced Education. And rather than earning his degree based on logging hours sitting in class, Jim advanced through courses quickly by demonstrating competency and moving on. “The was along whole

curriculum was relevant. I getting industry certiﬁcations with my degree,” Jim says. “The atmosphere was just fantastic.”

WGU Washington is eligible for VA & GI Bill beneﬁts and offers scholarships to those who qualify.

engineer. The gunner’s mate was down below. But we worked both the radar and radio.” Gockerell said the equipment on the planes of his day was a far cry from that of today’s P-3C Orion, which he and his family had a chance to tour prior to the winging ceremony. “It sure makes what we had sound awful crude,” Gockerell said. “All the computers and various things are astounding. I learned a lot and I can see how important this job is now.” Gockerell wound up serving in the Coast Guard until 1946, leaving as an Aviation Electronicsman (AL) Second Class. He spent a year in the Navy reserves in 1949, but that was the extent of his military service. He went on to get a degree in Forest Management, beginning a career in the State Division of Forestry, which was later absorbed into the Department of Natural Resources. He and Jean raised three sons together, spending time over the years in Olympia, Forks and, finally, Sequim. It was Gockerell’s great nephew who actually got the ball rolling for the winging ceremony. “He’s written books about his father and his life,” said James Bledsoe of Tacoma. “He told all about his days as a radioman and it fascinated me. That’s how it all started.” Bledsoe, who had never met his greatuncle face-to-face until Monday, said he placed a phone call to NAS Whidbey Island’s public affairs office and spoke to Tony Popp. Soon after, he was contacted by personnel from Wing 10, who had confirmed Gockerell’s service and made arrangements for him to tour Hangar 6 and the PBY Memorial Foundation on the

Seaplane Base prior to the ceremony. “What a big day for him,” said Bledsoe. “It’s an amazing act for him to get those at his age.” “I did everything required to get my wings but never got them,” Gockerell said. “I thought that was kind of unfair.” Capt. Garvin and Wing 10 personnel were more than happy to right the wrong for Gockerell. During his tour of the Naval Aviation History Center, a very enthusiastic Gockerell paused long enough to swap a few stories with Garvin. “I think it struck a nerve with him because he had some similar experiences,” acknowledged Gockerell. “Capt. Pete — that guy is going to make admiral someday. He’s intelligent, alert and nice to talk to.” During the presentation, Capt. Garvin thanked Gockerell for sharing stories of his time in service with him, saying it was an appropriate site for what was a truly great day and proclaiming it an honor. “Today, we stand on the shoulders of those who fought before us,” Garvin said. Gockerell, who was also presented with a certificate designating him an official Naval Aircrewman, a cap from the Association of Naval Aviation and a flight jacket from the Wing 10 Chiefs’ Mess, told those gathered it was a wonderful day. “I told the crew aboard the Orion I felt honored to have been aboard,” he said. “The civilian population doesn’t realize just what they’ve got protecting them.” As for the wings, Gockerell said he doesn’t plan to wear them anywhere, really, but he’s not going to just put them in a box, either. “I think I’ll leave them on this particular shirt because they look good,” he said. “Then when people come over, I’ll take it out and show them off. They’re nice wings.”

Viva la French Legion of Honor Oak Harbor veteran to be honored by the French By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

e me souviens,â&#x20AC;? reads the French inscription on license plates in the Canadian province of Quebec. Translated as â&#x20AC;&#x153;I rememberâ&#x20AC;? and sometimes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;lest we forget,â&#x20AC;? that phrase well expresses how Oak Harbor resident Roy McWilliams, veteran of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, felt upon learning he is in line to receive the French Legion of Honor award, Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest decoration, for his wartime service. McWilliams, 87, said he feels honored and humbled by the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naturally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about all this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I feel blessed just to be here more than 65 years after the fact,â&#x20AC;? he said. McWilliamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daughter, Peggy Gipson, of Livingston, Calif., is equally thrilled for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so very proud,â&#x20AC;? said Gipson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very few people receive this honor.â&#x20AC;? Gipson said because few WWII veterans are left these days she hopes her dad will receive the honor while his health still allows. The Legion of Honor award process is a long one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible McWilliamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; award may have been delayed even longer due to a name change he applied for shortly after the war. Stephane Remy, assistant to the Consulate General of France in San Francisco, said that McWilliams made them aware of the name change early on in the process, which has helped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently working in coordination with Mr. McWilliams and our Honorary Consul of France in Seattle to find the best way to schedule the ceremony, and to see which representative will be available to travel to Oak Harbor,â&#x20AC;? said Remy.

ter of 1944/45 is very much an international one. He began his life in Vancouver, British Columbia, and his family immigrated to the United States in search of work during the Depression. Financial struggles, and a family broken by divorce and poverty meant that he had to look after himself from an early age. It was enough to break some people, but instead, his daughter credits it for helping to strengthen McWilliams for what was yet to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The struggles of growing up during the Depression, plus his wartime experiences, are what shaped him into the man he became,â&#x20AC;? said Gipson. In 1943, McWilliams was drafted into the Army, where he first served in the ranks of the 66th infantry division. Both the needs of the Army and his own desire for better pay drove what transpired next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day, an officer asked us for paratrooper volunteers. Even though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully understand what that involved, I learned my pay would jump from a monthly $32 to $90, plus hazard pay, and that was enough for me,â&#x20AC;? McWilliams said. Not for nothing were they awarded hazardous duty pay, he found out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once, while still in training, I watched as six men from a single plane were killed when their parachutes failed to open,â&#x20AC;? he said. An investigation later revealed that the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parachutes were dampened by a rain leak the night before the jump.

Roy McWilliams in 1944 the dead of winter. Though the Army tried to outfit its soldiers against the cold, there were shortcomings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I finally jettisoned my heavy wool overcoat, because when we marched, it so overheated your body,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This, in spite of the fact that my feet were always cold â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the skimpy wool gloves we were issued at that time allowed our wrists to freeze.â&#x20AC;? Many men were disabled by frostbite and frozen feet. McWilliams says he believes that he saved his own feet from permanent injury by changing his socks three times a day, and drying them inside his coat. Although the Allies ultimately prevailed, the casualties were staggering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We (Americans) lost 19,000 in this battle, with many more thousands injured or missing in action. People nowadays just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend the casualty levels that wartime brings with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. As it turned out, McWilliams would end up fighting for his adopted country not only as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne division, but by also serving in the Navy. His naval service was spent aboard a submarine, the USS Capitaine (SS-336), and during the Korean

First instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte on May 29, 1802, it is one of the most prestigious French awards, and the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest civilian honor. It is generally awarded for military service. More than 50,000 were awarded during World War II. War, the heavy cruiser USS Helena (CA-75). Although he did not make the military his lifelong career, he says he would do it all over again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to say, though, that I liked serving on submarines the best of all,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good food and good deployments.â&#x20AC;? McWilliams said his experiences serving in the ranks of the armed forces later led to his fascination with lasers, which preceded a 27-year career with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, and work with the Atomic Energy Commission. The life-long work involved travel, test flights, a patent granted to him for an invention, and also some dangerous moments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God spared my life on several occasions,â&#x20AC;? said McWilliams. Even though his life has spanned some remarkable events in some historymaking locations, the great joys of his life are his wife, VerylAnn; his daughter, Peggy, and her family; and

his faith in God. Peggy says that thanks to his having lived through them, those events are now more than just pages in a book, or documentary, for

her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The history and the knowledge my dad has about battles and wars just amazes me,â&#x20AC;? she said.

PAGE 8 | JANUARY 13, 2011 SMILEY | FROM PAGE 4 and Lindell were surprised they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull up in a limo. It seemed that the enormity of what was about to happen had finally hit them. They looked nervous. But when Senator Collins came into the house, she brought with her the same warmth and excitement of a favorite aunt. She hugged each of the boys and immediately found a spot on the couch by Lindell. The senator presented Lindell with a gift bag, which he eagerly disassembled. Inside was a stuffed bear dressed like a United States pilot. Just like his daddy. Next Sen. Collins handed Ford and Owen a box. Inside was an American flag. Owen read the enclosed letter aloud: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is to certify that the accompanying flag was flown over the United States Capitol at the request of Senator Susan Collins. It was flown for the The Smiley Family of Bangor, Maine.â&#x20AC;? Then, as if all this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the Senator had made brownies. (More about the brownies later.) At dinner, Sen. Collins asked the boys about their dad and our military-family lifestyle. Previously, through emails, Dustin had asked the boys to prepare a list of questions for the senator. But he was thinking with his military brain that follows rank and order. And even Ford had told him that this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some kind of school project. The Senator, however, seemed to intui-

tively know that dinner had more to do with her learning about a local military family than us interviewing a senator. You might find this hard to believe, but, although my respect for Collins and her position was ever present, our time together at the dinner table felt a lot like visiting family. I blushed only slightly when Lindell told our guests that his favorite part of Maine is â&#x20AC;&#x153;eating lots of sugar.â&#x20AC;? And when all three boys picked apart the senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brownies, leaving three separate piles of nuts in front of them at the table, I knew Sen. Collins would not be offended. In fact, it gave her a good laugh. After dinner, we had a chance to Skype with Dustin overseas. Collins marveled at the way this relatively new technology can keep military families connected through deployments. Before she left, Sen. Collins asked three times to help with the dishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I come from a family of six children,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can do dishes.â&#x20AC;? But I knew I had to stop while I was ahead. Given more time, the kids surely would have brought out the trick gum or light sabers. The next day, I packed the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school lunches with a special treat: leftover brownies baked especially for them by a United States senator. That afternoon, three lunch boxes returned home with three separate piles of nuts in them. Sarah Smiley is a syndicated newspaper columnist, author and military wife.
