By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

As the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor draws closer, it seems only fitting this year’s Veterans Day observance honored members of the Greatest Generation.

“It is my honor to welcome you to the Navy League’s seventh annual Veterans Day program, which honors all veterans of all services in all wars,” said Dick Devlin, copresident of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, during last Friday’s Veterans Day ceremony at Oak Harbor High School.

“Specifically, we pay tribute to those among us who survived the day of infamy —

aby Nathaniel has impeccable timing.

The 6-pound, 13-ounce baby boy was born at Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville last Friday at 11:11 a.m.

That’s right, his birthdate is 11-11-11 at 11:11 a.m.

“A New Year’s baby is one thing, but this is really weird,” said Trish Nilsen, RN, manager of Whidbey Family Birthplace.

“He came right on time and everybody looked at the clock and couldn’t believe it.”

“That is kind of freaky,” acknowledged dad Byran, an Aviation Structural Mechanic at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. (The family has asked not to have

their last name published.) “We joked about it, telling him to hold off, but we didn’t expect it to happen.”

Byran, who has been on deployment for the past six months, got home in midafternoon on Nov. 10, after what turned out to be a long trip. His flight kept getting postponed.

“Finally they just told me they were

sending me back with the rest of the personnel going back,” he said.

But due to mechanical problems, Byran was held up in Spain for an extra 18 hours, leaving Chia, who had undergone most of the pregnancy alone, to wonder if he’d be there in time for their son’s birth.

“It was very emotional, wondering if he was going to be home in time,” she said.

Less than 12 after getting home, Byran and his Chia went to the hospital for the birth of their second child. Big sister, Sophia, is 2-and-a-half.

“When I left, Sophia was just saying a few words,” Byran said. “Now she’s talking in complete sentences.”

Chia said the last six months as a single parent have been hard.

“It was a lot of work,” she said. “And

VETERANS | FROM PAGE 1 Dec. 7, 1941 — our Pearl Harbor survivors.”

Peppered with patriotic music from the All-Island Community Band, the Daybreak Trio, the Chancel Choir of Oak Harbor’s First United Methodist Church and Oak Harbor High School’s Harbor Singers, the ceremony was a fitting tribute to all who served in our nation’s military.

“Today we come together to recognize and honor all of those veterans who are on active duty in various uniforms of our nation around the world,” Devlin said. “Those who are retired, those who have served as citizen soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and the reserves.”

Members of the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps of Oak Harbor High School were also on hand, serving not only as unofficial ushers for the event, but in an official capacity — striking the ceremonial bell to start the program and performing the parade of colors.

Guest speaker for the event was Marine Corps veteran and Oak Harbor mayor, Jim Slowik, who praised veterans for fighting for the cause of freedom.

“Whether they served at home or abroad, in war or in peace, they all share

the pride of having been a part of something bigger than themselves,” he said.

“Above all, they have kept us free. Free to live as we see fit. Free to work, free to worship and free to speak our minds.”

The centerpiece of Friday’s Veterans Day ceremony was a video presentation, “Pearl Harbor — A Time to Remember,” which highlighted the experiences of four area veterans who were present for the attack.

Veteran Harry Ferrier, the last survivor of the Battle of Midway, was also included in the presentation.

One by one, Jim Stansell, Cecil Calavan, Tony Nady, Harold Johnson and Ferrier told their stories.

None of them was more than 22 years old at the time.

“To me the worst part of that day was the rest of

All you could do was wonder ‘what’s the future?

What’s going to happen tomorrow and the next day, and so on.’”

The five World War II survivors took the stage following the video presentation, where members of the Wildcat Battalion of the NJROTC saluted the veterans as part of a symbolic changing of the watch.

After a moment of silence

to honor departed veterans, the Harbor Singers gave a moving performance of the Navy hymn “Eternal Father, Strong to Save.”

A parting benediction was given by Navy Chaplain, Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Link, bringing an end to the tribute, those attending perhaps leaving with the thought provided by Mayor Slowik: “To every veteran, we owe a debt we cannot possibly repay, but we always acknowledge,” he said. “I simply say from the bottom of our collective hearts, thank you veterans. Job well done.”

eterans Day, 2011 was one for the history books, said Tom Sheahan, chairman of the Burlington Veterans Day parade committee.

“Veterans Day began as a commemoration of the 1918 Armistice, which was signed at the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month,” said Sheahan. “It’s most rare to be able to celebrate it in a year that ends in ‘11’ as well.”

The 16th annual Burlington Veterans Day parade marked another first for some Naval Air Station Whidbey Island personnel, said Oak Harbor VFW Ladies Auxiliary member Diane Small.

“We have once again called on NAS Whidbey personnel to carry banners dedicated to service members across the state of Washington who have given their lives in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,” said Small.

The Fallen Soldier Banner Project, which memorializes service members with a banner bearing their photograph, name, rank and service branch, hometown, and date of birth and death, has only been around a couple of years. Once permission is granted by family members, VFW Ladies Auxiliary units prepare the banners, which are displayed around the state at memorials and other appropriate venues, said Small.

A magnetic replica of the banner is also sent to the military member’s family, she said.

Some of the NAS Whidbey personnel who participated in Friday’s parade had marched in other parades before; for others, it marked their first. But it was clear

Aviators honored by WWII pilot’s life, testimony Pilot Joe Moser survived being shot down and imprisonment at a Nazi work camp

embers of the Association of Naval Aviators Whidbey Island Squadron 40 would likely have been delighted to hear any guest speaker who shared their passion for flying.

The guest at the group’s Nov. 8 meeting proved to be more than just a fellow aviator — but you would have been hard pressed to hear Capt. Joe Moser, USAAC (Ret.), describe himself as anyone extraordinary at all.

Following introductory remarks by ANA member Dave Weisbrod, ANA Whidbey president Scott Hornung welcomed the crowd at the Officers’ Club at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and introduced Capt. Moser to an audience whose honored guests included Rear Admiral Douglass Biesel, Commander, Navy Region Northwest; Rear Admiral Douglas Asbjornsen, Reserve Deputy Commander, Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command; Capt.

Jay Johnston, Commanding Officer, NAS Whidbey Island; Oak Harbor Mayor Jim Slowik; Kate Simmons of the Heritage Flight Museum in Bellingham and many others.

Gerald Baron, author of the book “A Fighter Pilot in Buchenwald,” which tells Moser’s story, said he would give “hints and highlights” of that story to the crowd, but openly invited them to ask questions of their guest.

“Joe would love to take your questions,” said Baron. “He loves to talk with pilots.”

Survival story Fighter pilot Moser flew 43 successful missions during the war. In August, 1944, during his 44th combat mission, his P-38 Lightning was shot down in France. With an estimated 100 feet to spare, he bailed out, and once on the ground, was assisted by French farmers and resis-

“Picture more than six months’ internment in a German POW camp — but then picture the weeks that preceded that with imprisonment at Buchenwald, the Nazi work camp where tens of thousands died a cruel death. ” – Gerald Baron tance fighters.

That is, until the Germans discovered them.

For 40 years, Moser’s family, friends, and neighbors in Ferndale knew very little of what he and others in his group of 168 World War II allied flyers were subjected to, said Baron.

“Picture more than six months’ internment in a German POW (Prisoner of War) camp — but then picture the weeks that preceded that with imprisonment at Buchenwald, the Nazi work camp where tens of thousands died a cruel death,” he said.

It may be somewhat of a revelation to learn why an American soldier would have ended up in a concentration camp. The inscriptions on their registration cards were key, said Moser.

“Our cards read ‘police prisoner,’ not ‘prisoner of war,’” he said. “We were being held as terrorfliegers, terror aviators.”

The ordeal at Buchenwald began with a German guard’s words to them on their arrival: “You will not leave here except as smoke through that chimney,” the guard said, referring to the crematorium building on site.

Two months of inhumane conditions later, Moser’s weight dropped from around 155 to 113 pounds. Four days before their scheduled execution, he and others were shipped to the first of several POW camps in Germany. Once, they were forced to march

65 miles in a blizzard.

Many did not make it, said Baron.

But after experiencing the horrors of Buchenwald, even a POW camp seemed better, said Moser.

“It’s possible that few people looked more forward to a POW camp than our group did,” he said.

As it turns out, one camp, Stalag Luft III, particularly block 104, became famous, where a true story of an allied prisoner escape was later immortalized by the movie “The Great Escape.”

Moser said he owes much to his fellow aviators, to the French people who assisted him on the ground, to New Zealand Air Force Col. Philip Lamason, (who as a fellow allied prisoner, led and advocated for them), and even to some of the German Luftwaffe leadership who were instrumental in effecting their transfer out of Buchenwald. To this day, he does not bear a grudge toward those who mistreated him.

After listening with rapt attention to his experience, the ANA members and other guests seemed somewhat at a loss for the questions Moser encouraged them to ask. Someone asked what he liked most about the P-38 Lightning aircraft.

“Well, the P-38 is a wonderful plane to fly — except when you have to bail out,” answered Moser.

One Navy officer asked how he managed to keep his spirits up and what motivated him to stay alive while in a POW camp. It was a question that Moser appeared to ponder deeply.

Answering for him, Baron said, “Joe’s faith and family are very central to him — those are what he credits for helping him make it through it all.”

For November’s meeting, marked by Veterans Day ceremonies, Moser’s life story could not have been more relevant, said Capt. Gordon Smith, Navy Region Northwest Chief of Staff.

“This was something not to be missed.”

Group business In other business, ANA members also welcomed an intelligence briefing delivered by CTT2 James Henry of VAQ-142. Henry described Operation Odyssey Dawn, a joint effort involving the French, Canadians, and British the objective of which was to prevent further attacks by Libya’s Moammar Khadafi on Libyan citizens and opposition groups.

Hornung reminded ANA members that their next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at the CPO Club, and will be held jointly with the PBY Memorial Foundation.

The joint meeting will be a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Veterans set a fine example

Sometimes we just don’t realize how lucky we are.

Listen to some of the stories of our World War II veterans, and realization comes a bit easier.

My dad was a WWII veteran, although he didn’t talk about it much. He was training to be an Air Force pilot, but a bout with pneumonia changed his career path and he became a radio operator. After listening to stories told recently by some of our local veterans from the Greatest Generation, I wonder what might have happened to my father if he had become a pilot.

While I’m sure he had some fascinating stories from his time KATHY in the Air Force (he intercepted REED foreign radio transmissions, but that’s all he would, or could, ever say), his were likely far different from those of the Pearl Harbor and Midway survivors we were privileged to hear at last week’s Veterans Day program.

The video “Pearl Harbor — A Time to Remember,” produced by Riney Production Services and shown at the ceremony, is one I heartily recommend for people of all ages. Nothing can make more of an impression than listening to someone with firsthand knowledge of an event — it makes it so much more real. It puts a human face on events we typically only read about.

Likewise, the story of former WWII pilot Joe Moser is another example of why Tom Brokaw coined the term “Greatest Generation.”

Moser, who wound up being shot down and interned in a German concentration camp, is soft spoken and humble. He was just doing his job.

That’s probably what all the men we heard from on Veterans Day would say.

So I count my blessings for people like them and for all our military veterans and active duty personnel who are willing to do their jobs, no matter the cost. We are lucky to have them.

War zones are scary — laughter is a necessary weapon

By PATRICIA DUFF South Whidbey Record

R

unning to a helicopter while being shot at is

tricky.

It’s even trickier when one of the kids calls at that very moment and tells you somebody ate all the Cheez-its, and please remember to buy more.

This is one of the stories comedian Jennifer Rawlings tells in her show “I Only Smoke in Warzones, A Collection of True Stories from the Battlefield (Both at Home and Abroad).”

Rawlings comes to Whidbey Island Center for the Arts in Langley with her show at 7:30 p.m.

Friday.

“I love to make people laugh and when I think about soldiers, my feeling is that these young men and women leave their homes and families for year-long deployments and risk their lives every single day,” Rawlings said.

“I can leave my family for a couple of weeks at a time to go tell jokes.”

Indeed, the Los Angeles mother of five has been traveling as a USO performer for about 11 years.

She has performed in more than 300 military shows in Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, United Arab Emirates, Djibouti, Bahrain, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Korea, Kwajelean,

Guam, Japan, Iceland and other countries.

The statuesque, striking blonde has a girl-next-door presence with a big smile that makes her well-suited to the task of bringing a bit of sunny laughter to a monotone war zone.

Her solo performance reflects the scrapbook of her life, as she weaves together stories about family, her visits to battlefields and her contemplations on the human experience for a heartfelt and funny tapestry of emotional life.

This funny-girl took a roundabout route to the USO stage.

Rawlings grew up in Salina, Kansas, went to college to study biology, and decided to become a standup comedian instead. She’s carved out a ubiquitous career in comedy and has made a name for herself on the comedy circuit, including stints on television on Comedy Central, CMT, PBS, FOX, VH-1, A&E and “The Joy Behar Show.” When she’s not performing on the front lines for soldiers, she has shared the stage with Faith Hill, the late George Carlin and the vice president of the United States, and is a popular keynote speaker around the country.

But although she works to make the troops laugh, Rawlings is not immune to the effects of war that she has seen. Influenced by her experiences in the “heart of darkness,” she was moved

Jennifer Rawlings to create a documentary film based on the footage she shot during a trip to Bosnia. “Forgotten Voices: Women in Bosnia” is Rawlings’ attempt to “give voice to the forgotten victims of war,” in this case, several women who survived the war in Bosnia.

Rawlings is also the author of a children’s book and numerous magazine articles, as well as writing a popular weekly blog for the magazine Hybrid Mom. She is a featured writer in the book: “I Killed: Road Stories from America’s Top Comedians.”

Such a busy mother of a big brood certainly begs the question that she’s asked often: “Who takes care of the kids?”

Her husband, whom she calls “amazing,” has been holding down the fort and looking after the kids while mom is away since her youngest was 2.

“My kids are all teenagers now, the youngest is 13 ... hence the need to go on

That’s her M.O. She uses her life to create an act that relates to everyone else’s life, whether they’re in the military or not.

PARADE | FROM PAGE 2 that all the participants attached great significance to the banners they solemnly carried this day.

Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Andrew Umstead and AOAN David Olson both said it was a good way for them to be spending their Veterans Day holiday. “I had not marched in a parade before, as a member of the military,� said Umstead. His friend and shipmate, Olson, said it was just the opposite for him: “In high school, I marched several times in parades with my NJROTC unit,� he said. “This just seems to be the right way to observe Veterans Day.�

For Cryptologic Technician (Collection) Second Class Maxwell Crews, marching in a Veterans Day parade is a tradition. “Even though I participated in parades for four years in high school, this is still very exciting,� said

Crews. He, his wife, Katie, and son, Charlie, were enjoying a hearty breakfast at Oak Harbor’s VFW Post 7392 prior to the 10 a.m. rendezvous at the parade site line-up.

The Ladies Auxiliary national headquarters furnished the money for the breakfast, said Small. “We wanted to host this gathering on Veterans Day for these active duty folks who are honoring their fellow soldiers and sailors in this way,� she said.

It seemed that many of those marching, as well as their family members, had chosen to partake of the breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, homemade biscuits and gravy, toast, and coffee served by the auxiliary members and other helpers.

Despite a steady downpour of rain, this year’s parade proved to be a very special one: Joe Moser, a United States Army Air Corps pilot, who flew a P-38 Lightning during World War II, and who

“This has really meant a lot to me. Even though I didn’t know him, I felt like I knew him.

He gave his all for me, for all of us.� – CTR2 Daniel Theisen survived the rigors of a German concentration camp, served as the 2011 parade grand marshal.

(Read more of Moser’s story on page 3.)

And for the NAS Whidbey personnel who carried the Fallen Soldier banners, the memories of this year’s parade will always be carried with them as well. So it seemed with CTR2 Daniel Theisen. “This has really meant a lot to me,� he said. “Even though I didn’t personally know him, I felt like I knew him. He gave his all for me, for all of us.�

Happy Birthday Marines!

MATSG-53 celebrates 236 years of Marine Corps history

By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

T

he Marines of Marine Aviation Training Support Group 53 on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island know how to throw a party.

The annual Marine Corps Ball, held Nov. 10 at the NAS Whidbey Officers’ Club, was a first-class demonstration of Marine Corps precision and tradition, a fitting way to pay tribute to the history of the Marine Corps. “As we celebrate the 236th birthday of our illustrious Corps, we should reflect on the values that bind us together in an elite brotherhood known as ‘Marines,’â€? said Gunnery Sgt. James Keck, the narrator for the evening. ‌ “Our birthday is not only a time to reflect on our past, but to look forward to our future. As we

anticipate a new era, each of us must prepare to face the challenges the future will bring. “Our role as the ‘cutting edge’ of our nation’s forces will be more crucial than ever before, and the Marines of Whidbey Island are committed to be ready,�

Keck continued.

Following an invocation

by Cmdr. J.M. Hakanson, Navy chaplain, the official program was underway. Six Marine escorts marched in after the Adjutant’s call, lining the center of the room to usher in MATSG-53 Commanding Officer, Colonel Bradley C. Close, and the guest of honor, former Marine and Oak Harbor mayor, Jim Slowik. An intricate parade of colors followed, leading to the entrance of the traditional birthday cake, escorted by four Marines and followed by the Adjutant, Capt. Jack L. McKinnon.

McKinnon read from a scroll Article 38 of the 1921 edition of the U.S. Marine Corps manual, in which Lt. Gen. John A. LeJeune, the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps,

directed Marines of every command to give a reminder of the honorable service of the Corps each year. “On Nov. 10th, 1775, a corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress,� read McKinnon. “Since that date, many thousand men have bore the name Marine.

In memory of them, it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our Corps by calling to mind the glory of its long and illustrious history.�

In keeping with that rich history, Col. Close was presented with a sword, which he used to cut the ceremonial first piece of cake. Guest of honor Slowik took the first bite, followed by the oldest Marine present, retired Master Sgt. Victor Childs, who was born in 1919 and who enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1937.

The cake was then passed to the youngest Marine present, Pfc. Kevin N. Papaj, who was born in 1992. “The passing of the cake from the

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE oldest to the youngest Marine symbolizes the passing of history and traditions to the next generation,� said Keck.

After the colors were retired, a video presentation from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James F. Amos, was shown. The video message featured many Marines, both active duty and retired, who were involved in the events following 9/11 ten years ago. Guests watched the video intently, several brushing away tears, including NAS Whidbey Island commanding officer, Capt. Jay Johnston, who was at the Pentagon that day.

Then it was time for MATSG-53’s commanding officer to take center stage. Col Close quickly put guests at ease, joking about his son’s description of his dress uniform as his “special birthday suit� and thanking guests for covering their special birthday suits with something. He predicted everyone would have a good time, especially those attending a ball for the first time. “By the end of tonight, this will be the best Marine Corps Ball you’ve ever seen,� Close said.

Close acknowledged active duty and retired Marines, Navy officers and distinguished guests. “We are fortunate to have so many people here who believe in the Marine Corps and support us,� he said. “Thank you for coming. You honor us with your presence.� “To become a Marine is a transition that can’t be undone,� Mayor Slowik told the audience, describing how he

entered the Marines as a teenager in 1968. “The Marine Corps develops quality citizens that are driven by purpose and guided by its values. Out of the Marine Corps, you keep those values.�

As guests enjoyed the dinner and dancing that followed the program, some remarked about the Marines’ impeccable style. “The Navy puts on a good ball,� said Navy Capt. Joe Pugh, “but the Marines, in everything they do, you can see the precision.�

For some of those attending, this ball would be their last. “This is my 21st and last Marine Corps Ball,� said Lt. Col. Greg Bigalk, who has served both active duty and in the reserves. Bigalk was there with his wife, Brenda, and their children, 8-year-old Megan and 10-year-old Chaz. All of them were enjoying themselves on the dance floor. “We told them we’d bring them to Daddy’s last ball,� said Brenda. “I love the atmosphere, the camaraderie and the history behind the ball,� said Sgt. Maj. George Espinosa. “Every time you have a ball you get to see a new generation of Marines.�

Espinosa will retire in 2012 after 30 years in the Corps. Training and leading new Marines and serving as an advisor has been the highlight of his life, he said. For him, the 236th Marine Corps Ball was a celebration of much more than a birthday. “I love this job,� he said. “It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever achieved.�

PETS | FROM PAGE 4 Sadly, victims of domestic violence often remain in dangerous or dysfunctional relationships to protect their pets. A study of women seeking temporary safe shelter showed that 71 percent of those having companion animals reported their partners had threatened, hurt, or killed their animals. It is likewise well-documented that many more abuse victims never even go to a shelter because they fear for the safety of the pets they must leave behind.

In recognition of this

phenomenon, 21 states, including Washington (www.animallaw.info/ statutes/stuswast26.50.060. htm), have passed laws that 1) empower judges to include pets in courtissued orders of protection; and/or 2) include the harm or threat of harm to animals in the state’s legal definition of domestic violence.

Animal cruelty is increasingly viewed as a serious issue by professionals in law enforcement and mental health as well as by the general public.

The effective prosecution of animal abuse has many benefits. It can provide

an early response to those who are, or who are at risk of becoming, a threat to the safety of others. It can provide another tool for the protection of those who are victims of domestic violence. Finally, it helps protect our companion animals that have no voice of their own.

now it’s the emotional adjustment of having him home. There wasn’t much time together as a family (before the baby was born).�

And no, she said she didn’t try to slow down the baby’s birth — quite the opposite in fact, as Nathaniel’s heart rate had slowed and Chia, a nurse herself, was concerned. “(The time) 11:11 was not on my mind — getting him out was,� she said. Both baby and mother are healthy and doing well.

Chia and Byran said that besides sleep, they’re looking forward to spending time together now that baby and daddy are here safely and the family is all together. That, and sharing the story of Nathaniel’s timely entrance. “I guess he’ll have something to talk about for the rest of his life,� said Byran.

Panetta: Sequestration would devastate DOD

By JIM GARAMONE American Forces Press Service

PNW MarketPlace!

WASHINGTON — If the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction cannot reach an agreement, the results would be devastating for the Defense Department, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta wrote in a letter to two senators Monday.

The so-called supercommittee must reach agreement on debt reduction by Wednesday. If they cannot do so, the Budget Control Act calls for “sequestration,� with the Pentagon budget absorbing most of the cuts.

DOD already is cutting $450 billion over the next 10 years, Panetta wrote to Arizona Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. “These cuts are difficult and will require us to take some risks, but they are manageable,� Panetta wrote. “If the maximum sequestration is triggered, the total cut will rise to about $1 trillion compared with the fiscal year 2012 plan.�

If triggered, sequestration would begin in January 2013, Panetta wrote, noting it would add $500 billion to $600 billion to already-planned cuts. The fiscal 2013 budget would be cut by $100 billion. While military personnel probably would be exempted, the secretary added, the rest of the cuts would come from other parts of the DOD budget, and no major weapon program would be exempt.

The department, Panetta wrote, could not exempt all civilian employees.

“Furloughs — perhaps a month or more [in length] — might well be needed because there would not be time to reduce personnel levels to achieve savings,� according to an enclosure Panetta sent to the senators.

Sequestration, the secretary wrote, would tie DOD’s hands and cut 23 percent equally to each major investment and construction program. “Such a large cut, applied in such an indiscriminate manner, would render most of our ship and construction projects ‘unexecutable’ — you cannot buy three quarters of a ship or a building — and seriously damage our modernization efforts,� Panetta wrote.

The situation does not improve in the out years, the secretary wrote, noting it would mean a reduction of $100 million each year. After 10 years of cuts, he continued, the U.S. military “would have the smallest ground force since 1940, the smallest number of ships since 1915 and the smallest Air Force in its history.� “We would also be forced to terminate most large procurement programs in order to accommodate modernization reductions that are likely to be required,�

Panetta added.

Funding for the war is exempt from sequestration, the secretary wrote. But, he added, the effects on the base budget would be so severe that they would affect support to the Afghan war. Contracting, for example, would be impaired, he wrote, Real Estate for Sale Island County /AKĂĽ(ARBOR
