The Calvert Recorder launches Tributes Program We live and play in a wonderful part of the world. And in our neighborhoods, there are individuals who serve our towns, communities and country every day, not for the glory or recognition, but because they care: the veterans, firefighters, police officers, paramedics and so on in our communities. Too often their efforts go unrecognized or we don’t show our appreciation for their sacrifice. Sure, from time to time, you will see posts on social media of people thanking one of these individuals for a specific event. We felt we should do more for these individuals. As we were chatting about Veterans Day and our story ideas, it became apparent that we wanted to enhance our spotlight on these local individuals in a greater way
than we have in the past. Today, we begin our Tributes Program. For Veterans Day, in this special Veterans Day section, The Calvert Recorder is publishing profile stories and photos of veterans who work, live or have family members in our community. A portion of sales proceeds from this section will directly benefit Battle Buddies, a local nonprofit that trains mentors to work with returning military service members to help them assimilate back into their life at home. We are excited to launch this new program and to do our part to thank these local heroes. David Fike President, APG of Chesapeake Media

Williams rounded up the wounded from D-Day
STAFF PHOTO BY DARWIN WEIGEL
Jack Williams, 94, of Solomons was part of the wave of troops who landed on Omaha Beach in France in World War II after enlisting in the Navy. By SARAH FLEISCHMAN sfleischman@somdnews.com
The first time Jack Williams left home for a long period of time, it was for midshipmen’s school in Chicago. He was in college at Washington College in Chestertown when “the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor,” and Williams said he knew right away he’d be wearing a military uniform of some kind. The Navy eventually took him to Omaha Beach, with the task of removing the wounded in the aftermath of D-Day June 6, 1944. Williams stayed on the beach for seven weeks, lodging with whatever ships were available at the time. Some images stick out in his mind from his time on Omaha Beach, but Williams said he’s fortunate the images don’t “bother my mind.” “The thing that sticks in my memory is on the beach, there were helmets with nothing in them but heads,” Williams said. Williams didn’t go back on his ship until November.
As he reads about the events that took place on the beach at Normandy, the events through which the 94-year-old lived that are now considered history, sometimes he sees inaccuracies. For example, he said he read a book in which the author had obviously not visited Omaha Beach because the author had a theory of how the events played out that was not possible. The author theorized that the infantry climbed up the rocks of the bank on the beach, but Williams said the bank was 20 to 25 feet high and “there was not a rock in the whole damn bank.” Originally, troops did get up the bank by putting up cargo nets and climbing up those, but bulldozers eventually knocked the bank down several days after Williams arrived at Omaha Beach so tanks and Jeeps could move further inland. “I still remember it like it was yesterday when the bank was finally knocked down,” Williams said. Williams said he especially wants students studying history in school today to recognize that war was slower back then than it is
today with technological advances. “The LST was not a speedy vehicle,” Williams said. Williams has been able to see the last operational tank landing ship, or LST, which he was assigned to. The LST is based in Indiana but makes periodic voyages to other locations, including one to Alexandria, Va., where Williams was able to see it a few years ago. He even returned to Omaha Beach, 60 years after he first went there. The area changed greatly, with a monument constructed. Additionally, houses and roads were built close to where many lost their lives. Williams had a role in the history of a world war, but his family has local historical ties as well. The College of Southern Maryland in Prince Frederick is located on J.W. Williams Road, a road named after Williams’ grandfather, John Walter Williams. Williams was the third John Williams to be born on the family farm at the end of J.W. Williams Road. After the war, following more assignments
in France and ending up in Norfolk, Va., to prepare for going to the Pacific, which never happened because of the dropping of the atomic bomb, Williams came back home to Southern Maryland. “That was home. That was where I was born and raised,” he said. He went to work for the local farm credit office and eventually worked for the Baltimore Farm Credit Bank and served in offices throughout the state. As a board member of the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative as well as the president of the National Association of Electric Cooperatives, he traveled in all 50 states in a motor home with his wife, Marjorie, who was a local school teacher and died in 1998, suffering from polio for much of her life. Williams and Marjorie were among the first people to move to Asbury Solomons in 1996. After the deaths of his second and third wives, Williams remains active in the Asbury community, helping deliver mail, writing for the newsletter, playing poker and helping with a weekly prayer service.

Cpl. James Wahlgren and Sgt. Ricky Cox of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office both came from military backgrounds. By ANDREW CEPHAS acephas@somdnews.com
One of the best days in his life for Sgt. Ricky Cox of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office was being handed the Eagle Globe and Anchor and called a Marine for the first time at bootcamp. Cox, originally from Huntingtown, enlisted in the military at age 19. He said he always wanted to be in the U.S. Marines since he was small. “I was just inspired by what the Marines do,” Cox said. “Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to serve my country by joining the Marines.” Cox was shipped from Baltimore to South Carolina for his initial training at bootcamp. He found bootcamp challenging because he was young and on his own for
the first time in his life. Cox credited his squad, whom he referred to as his brothers, as the driving force that got him through training. He still communicates with many of them today. Cox attends squad reunions and they have met a few times in Florida around the Orlando area. Some of his former comrades live in Florida, so they meet there to enjoy the warm weather and catch up. Cox served two tours in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, as one of 50 Marines who were in the FAST Company. This special forces unit was tasked with search and rescue missions, which included building searches. This unit also was responsible for raiding buildings in
search of hostages or insurgents. Cox saw casualties every day while serving in his unit. His first tour was during the initial phase of the war. Cox’s unit was there from day 1 of the war and was instructed by former president George W. Bush to secure the oil fields and platforms in the Persian Gulf to ensure they weren’t set on fire, which Saddam Hussein had done previously. It was difficult for Cox to communicate with family during this tour because nothing was established yet in Iraq. He had to find a computer or use a satellite phone to get in contact with family back home. The second tour was in Baghdad, where Cox did
many search and rescue missions. He can still remember rescuing and bringing home a pilot whose aircraft was shot down. Cox was able to communicate with family back home more frequently during this tour because of the increased amount of computers in Iraq. He remembers being able to get to a computer at least once a week. Cox commonly felt stress from worrying about family back home and having them worry about him. He referred to the lack of communication as the hardest part of serving. “I didn’t do anything for luck, but I prayed a lot,” Cox said. “I think God got me through a lot of the hard times.” He was not a fan of the food
that was available during service. Cox recalled eating a lot of meals ready to eat (MREs) when in the field. When at a base or camp, he was served food he compared to “mess hall food that is just heated up.” Cox’s unit would play cards or write music for entertainment in their downtime. He recalls one of the medics acquiring a guitar to provide the music. They also pulled pranks on each other every day. “You would wake up and it’d be a scorpion in your boot,” he said. “Doing dumb stuff like that would help us get to the next day.” Cox was awarded nine medals while serving, including the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.
He said serving in the military taught him the value of life, personal responsibility and how to be a leader. His experience also influenced how he thinks about war because he was able to see things through his own eyes instead of just looking at what is reported by the media. He is currently a member of the American Legion in Chesapeake Beach. This organization does a lot to help with local veterans, like charter fishing trips. Working for Calvert County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team takes up a lot of Cox’s time and he is usually not available to partake in the organization’s activities. Cox credits the Marines for developing him into the man he is today.

Veteran in reserves going 25 years strong By ANDREW CEPHAS acephas@somdnews.com
Cpl. James Wahlgren of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office has been uniformed his entire adult life after enlisting to the U.S. Navy at age of 21. Wahlgren was born and raised in Nebraska. He said he enlisted in the Navy because he felt he was too immature to stay at the University of Nebraska and wanted a way out of the state. “There really isn’t a whole lot to do [in Nebraska] unless you want to be a rancher or farmer,” he said. “The Navy was a way out. I had seen enough mud and dirt. I figured I hadn’t seen the ocean yet, so I’d go do that.” Wahlgren did not have any difficulties completing bootcamp because of his experience doing manual labor on the farm where he grew up. He was also in ROTC at the University of Nebraska, so he had some military exposure before he attended training. He said his unit attempted to gel as quickly as possible in bootcamp to get through everything easier. The unit still keeps in contact and one of his closest comrades resides in Calvert. Wahlgren served in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq twice and Afghanistan three times. He particularly remembers operating in the mountains of Afghanistan. The first night he arrived in the country, he recalls making a remark about the cold weather. A man who had been there for a while told them it was only negative 25 degrees, and the wind wasn’t blowing, so it wasn’t bad. “I remember putting a case of plastic water See RESERVES Page A28

Garner served 30 years, three wars By SARAH FLEISCHMAN sfleischman@somdnews.com
He started out as just a farm boy who grew up in Calvert County, but now more than 70 years after enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942, Vernon Garner says he’s more of a military man than a Calvert County farm boy. Garner was working for the Federal Bureau of Investigations in Philadelphia when a coworker suggested they enlist. Things ended up a bit differently. “I did. He didn’t,” Garner said. At 19 years old, Garner had to get his parents’ signatures as permission to enlist. Although many are disqualified during the first intense year of training to be a pilot, Garner made it through. By the time he finished training, World War II in Europe was winding down, but B-29 pilots were needed in the Pacific, so after more training, he was assigned to Tinian in the Pacific. Garner said one of his most memorable
experiences was his first combat mission over Tokyo one night in May 1945. “I was a farm boy … so all I knew was cows and horses and tobacco. There were fires burning below and it was kind of crazy. … My knees turned to jelly,” Garner said, recalling his first combat mission. While stationed at Tinian, Garner said, he had no idea about the atomic bomb until it was dropped. The bombers who dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki took off from Tinian. “My reaction was ‘Hallelujah. The war is over and I might get to go home,’” Garner said. Between serving in three wars — WWII, Korea and Vietnam — Garner did staff work, including being stationed in the Pentagon twice and as a staff officer in Greece and Germany. Throughout his career, he flew 20 different planes. A museum in Dayton, Ohio, has 13 of the 20 planes he

Throughout the decades, he met govGarner said he had some more close calls ernment leaders in foreign countries and while flying, like when he was flying a B-26 in Nevada and got caught in the clouds between mountains and lost visibility. “I think the farm boy is behind,” Garner said, after 30 years in the military. But the memories aren’t behind him. Garner speaks to school and church groups about his experiences. “We want them to know what it was like and a little bit of our part in it,” Garner said. One time, a student during one of his school visits asked how he went to the bathroom while on the 18-hourlong missions. “No. 2 was a no-no. No. 1, we had a long tube with a funnel,” Garner said. Some people are surprised to hear that a farm boy flew military planes. “I had an interesting career, but sometimes they don’t believe me when I tell my story,” Garner said. The saga continued through working during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis where he worked in an underground command post “with my hand just off the red button in case Cuba decided to do something,” Garner said. Garner was awarded a Bronze STAFF PHOTO BY DARWIN WEIGEL Vernon Garner of Solomons pictured six years ago Star for the combination of many things in his decades of service wearing his Air Force uniform from decades ago. throughout three wars, although he

said he would like to say he jumped off a building or saved someone’s life to earn the award. Now, after almost 71 years of marriage to his wife, Doris, four children, 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, Garner and his wife live in Solomons. The two have visited all 50 states and many countries. Garner has a tradition of dancing with each one of his granddaughters on their wedding days, and although he said his travel-
ing days are over, he made it to San Antonio in July for the wedding of one of his granddaughters. “We couldn’t find a place we lived better than Solomons,” Garner said. Doris Garner said she wasn’t always permitted to know where her husband was and what he was doing, but she said she grew into it and had faith that God would take care of her husband. “I married him in a uniform,” Doris said.

‘I spent my 21st birthday being held for ransom’
STAFF PHOTO BY SARAH FLEISCHMAN
Lt. Col. George Turpyn, who served in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II and spent his career in the military, sits in his home at Asbury Solomons with his album full of photos and other memorabilia from his time in the military. By SARAH FLEISCHMAN sfleischman@somdnews.com
In a large three-ring binder filled with his memorabilia and documents from his time in the United States Army Air Force during World War II, George Turpyn has two Western Union telegrams saved, printed on yellowing sheets of paper. Messages to his parents in New York upon his release as a prisoner of war in a little-known incident in the foothills of Tibet, the first one reads, “All well and
safe. George Turpyn.” The other one, sent a short time later: “All well and safe. Love. George Turpyn.” He said he sent two telegrams to his parents because he forgot to say “love” in the first message. The telegrams were welcome, as his parents originally learned their son was missing in action from a telegram from the Air Force, followed by a letter that more information would come within three months. “His mother was a stal-
wart individual. She was not a worrier; at least, she didn’t let people know. … She had faith he was coming back,” said Turpyn’s wife, Connie. Connie and George were dating at the time of his capture. On Feb. 3, 1945, Turpyn was the pilot of a B-24 returning from a mission to the Tonkin Gulf amid storms, mountains, ice, depleted oxygen, no navigation aids and multiple propeller issues. They landed in 13,000-foot mountains and came across men with rifles whom they thought
were Chinese who attacked. Turpyn and the crew were held ransom for 1,200 Chinese silver dollars and would have been held as slaves if their ransom had not been paid by a Chinese warlord. In 20 degree temperatures and little clothing, they were fed steamed corn and goat meat. For days, their captors “shouted, hauled, pushed and half-carried us up and down the mountains looking for the plane,” according the Turpyn’s story, as printed in a book full of the stories
of veterans at Asbury Solomons. The crew was forced at gunpoint to continue the treks up and down the mountains in search of the plane and village children carried baskets containing hand grenades. “I was horrified at the story like everyone else was, but was glad he was in good shape,” Connie Turpyn said. Turpyn still carries a picture of Connie in his wallet, from when she was about 19 or 20, wearing his Air Force coat and jacket and beaming brightly, taken the day
he came back home in 1946. “That’s my special picture,” Turpyn said. Once they were married in 1946, she traveled to most of his many assignments throughout his military career with him. Turpyn said he has never heard such little noise as when he was in the Tibetan wilderness being held captive by Black Lolos, a warlike tribe native to the Tibetan foothills. See Ransom Page A15

Ransom From Page A14
“I spent my 21st birthday being held for ransom,” Turpyn said. Turpyn enlisted in September 1942, after graduating from high school in 1939 and working until he got in the service. Originally from New York, Turpyn and his wife have lived at Asbury Solomons since 2004 after living in Edgewater for 37 years. Turpyn knew he didn’t want to be in the infantry, and had a fascination with being a pilot. “I saw the airplanes and I wanted to fly,” he said. The military took the Turpyns to California, Germany, Ohio, France and Korea, but Connie Turpyn didn’t accompany her husband during the year he spent in Korea. They had a young son by then and it was hard to be apart. While the couple lived in Edgewater, George Turpyn commuted to the Pentagon for 16 years. “[If you have] any yearnings toward travel, the military is the way to go. As long as you don’t have anyone shooting at you, it’s STAFF PHOTO BY SARAH FLEISCHMAN a good life,” Connie Turpyn The telegrams George Turpyn sent his parents upon his release as a prisoner in Tibet are in an album full of memorabilia from his time in the military. said.

‘At least I’m doing some good’
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Freeman Dodsworth, far right, helped children and poor families in Nicaragua with medical assistance during his last deployment. By SARA NEWMAN snewman@somdnews.com
Freeman Dodsworth of Port Republic entered the U.S. Navy in 1986 when he was 26. The adventure and travel sounded exciting and Dodsworth said he was particularly interested in aviation. “I had a roommate who went to flight school and was calling home and said how interesting and exciting it was,” Dodsworth said. Dodsworth became a pilot and was primarily stationed on the East Coast, including Florida, Virginia and the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, which originally brought him to the area in 1991. Over the last 30 years, Dodsworth served during multiple wars and conflicts including Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Dodsworth was also deployed in 2004 to the Middle East for eight months during Operation Iraqi Freedom. “I was in the war zone, but we didn’t have to shoot,” Dodsworth said of his time in Kuwait. “We were protecting the corps in Kuwait and also protecting the Marines coming off the ships coming ashore. It was amazing to see all of the coalition military forces coming together in one place, and the logistics and manpower and the sheer effort that went into that conflict was amazing.” His last deployment was in 2008 to Central America supporting Operation Continuing Promise, a humanitarian effort. Dodsworth spent time rebuilding schools and clinics for those who needed help.
Looking back on his military experience, Dodsworth said he remembers the fun he had of flying and being part of “a big organization like the Navy.” “I also think of the good I think we did,” Dodsworth said. “I’m proud of the service we all gave during those times and I think about the friends I made. … I served during all those conflicts and was deployed during several of them so I feel we did good for the country by standing up and being willing to serve.” Upon leaving the military, Dodsworth said, he experienced the same kind of disorienting feeling many soldiers face with civilians being unable to relate to their experience. However, Dodsworth said his adjustment was not as severe as it is sometimes for others. Because of a strong network of close family and friends who understood where he was coming from, and a life as a business owner that he could return to, Dodsworth said his transition was easier. “It helped me in the sense that I had a life to come back to while I was over there,” Dodsworth said. “It wasn’t like I had to come back and was thrown into the world without any connections.” After leaving active duty and joining the Reserves, he was introduced to Al Brewster, founder of Battle Buddies. About six months ago, Dodsworth took the nonprofit’s training to become a mentor for the program and volunteers with local veterans, helping them reintegrate into society upon their return from overseas. “This was an opportunity for me to actually help somebody directly,” Dodsworth said of his reasoning for joining
Battle Buddies. “Many other nonprofits you get involved with, you’re indirectly supporting people. This was a way to one-on-one reach out and physically help a veteran.” Dodsworth said the ability for veterans to have someone to talk to, someone who has a common background and is willing to “just listen to them and validate their story and make them feel like they’re not alone,” is what he, as a Battle Buddies volunteer, brings to the table. Dodsworth is currently working with two veterans, and within a few weeks, he said he noticed both make some positive changes. It wasn’t until recently that one of his veterans began sleeping again. “When I first met him, he hadn’t slept in a week,” Dodsworth said. “He couldn’t rest, close his eyes or anything. After a few days of letting him engage with me and him seeing there was somebody out there who was there and listened to him and interacted with him, within a few days, he began to sleep again a little and began to see some marginal improvements in his life. Those small improvements are things he’ll be able to build on to put his life back together.” But it’s not just those Dodsworth works with who benefit from their interactions. “Not that I’ve done anything particular to them, but it’s just that I’m a listening ear and being there to support them and let them know that they’re cared about and that has made me feel good and [I] know that at least I’m doing some good,” Dodsworth said.

William Quinn of Drum Point joined the military Sept. 4, 1980, and said if he could, he’d do it all over again. “I love travel,” Quinn said. “It’s an experience you can’t compare to anything else.” Born in Jacksonville, Ohio, Quinn lived in Iran when he was 15 when his father was there for work. Growing up, Quinn traveled a lot with his family, and combined with his military travel, he has been to 49 countries and around the world twice. Quinn followed in his father’s footsteps and served in the Navy as an aviation electrician’s mate, working on naval ships and doing electrical work on aircraft, and served on five different aircraft carriers he affectionately calls “boats.” One of his most memorable moments during his military career was when he was twice a part of the adopted sailor program in Tasmania, Australia, where he was “adopted” by a local family who took him across the country. “If there was a lottery, I won,” Quinn said of the experience. “I picked Ken Saunders and he was the No. 3 from the top in the police force. So he was a big hauncho. I spent all my time on shore at their house and they took me all over the country.”
He also remembers being part of the hot air balloon team in Albuquerque and flying hundreds of feet above the ground. “How often does that happen?” Quinn said. During his time, Quinn said, the now available mentorship program where new enlistees are matched up with someone experienced was not available, but he believes it would have made the process easier for him. “If that happened in my time frame, I think that would have been a lot better,” Quinn said. “There would have been less harassment of ‘the new guy in town.’” Quinn also credits the military for allowing him to obtain a bachelor’s degree in network management from Westwood College in Denver. Quinn still recalls his military career as a positive experience despite the life-altering injury he sustained in 1982, when his feet were crushed by a bulldozer. Thinking that he had healed from the incident, Quinn continued his military career into the 1990s and small health issues would randomly arise, but nothing that was seen as related to his feet. Two decades after the incident, Quinn was powerlifting when his feet went dead and he hasn’t been able to feel them since. Because of the length of time between the two incidences, Quinn is not
officially recognized as a disabled veteran. He has spent the last 15 years filing claims to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “No doctor will say the two events are not related for me to get benefits,” Quinn said. Quinn uses prosthetic inserts in his shoes, which allow him to stand for limited amounts of time, but he still has difficulty. Quinn was donated a wheelchair and given two batteries for it from Disabled American Veterans, and recently had a ramp built outside of his home by Patuxent Habitat for Humanity and Christmas in April Calvert County Inc. volunteers in August. “I want to cry,” Quinn said at the time the ramp was built. “It’s a very emotional experience.” Today, Quinn has his hands in a number of projects, including working as a chief election judge for the Republican party in Calvert County, fixing computers, filming “how-to” videos for his YouTube channel and substitute teaching at Esperanza Middle School in Lexington Park. He and his wife, Donna, have two sons, Joshua, 22, and Kenneth, 20. Quinn also volunteers his time with Christmas in April and the Knights of Columbus. “If you want to see the world, join the Navy,” Quinn said. “If you want education, join the military.”

Veterans: Are you missing out on key benefits? There are currently 19.6 million veterans in the United States. These hard working men and women have access to a variety of programs and benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs during active duty and retirement — yet many are not taking full advantage. Why? One reason is that the VA system can be difficult to navigate. That’s where the Military Order of the Purple Heart National Service Officers can help. NSOs are accredited veteran representatives located at VA regional offices, medical centers or clinics, and military bases throughout the country. Guidance from these experts can make all the difference for veterans of all ages. In 2014, National Service Officers helped over 19,000 veterans get over 300 million dollars in lifetime benefits from the VA. “My job is to get them [veterans] the most compensation I possibly can within the guidelines, but I also want to take care of them,” said Sandra Ripe of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Program. “I always encourage them to go to the
VA and get enrolled.” Ripe says a main piece of her job is making veterans comfortable so they can start talking about their experiences. “We talk and figure out what’s going on. Often they don’t think of certain things or don’t realize issues they may be having are combat related, such as tinnitus,” she said. While veterans can file claims on their own, Ripe doesn’t recommend it. NSOs are experts who not only have ongoing training in the legislation, regulations and precedents, they have relationships within the veteran community they can leverage. “If I get a really tough case, I can go to appeals at the VA and ask how to put it in, and they will help me, because wording is very important,” Ripe said. Her primary goal is to put the fully developed claim in correctly the first time with all the proper documentation and evidence to back it up. If submitted incorrectly and a claim has to go into the appeals system, it can take 2-3 years to be resolved opposed to the 4.5 month average a first-time claim takes
to make its way through the system. This complex and timeconsuming process is why many veterans miss out on important benefits. The Military Order of the Purple Heart National Service Program, which is funded by the Purple Heart Foundation, assists all veterans who are trying to navigate programs and obtain benefits through the U.S. Depart-
ment of Veteran Affairs. In addition to health and wellness programs, these benefits include: • Compensation and pension • Veteran’s preference housing • Education • Employment services • Job training • Death and burial benefits Another function of the
program is the National Appeals Office in Washington, D.C., where expert professional representation is provided to veterans whose claims have been denied at the regional office. This program is one of the few Veteran Service Organizations eligible to take selected cases to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. This Veterans Day, celebrate the service men and
women in your life by ensuring they are getting the benefits they deserve. NSOs are available to be advisers and confidants to veterans who struggle to speak openly to friends and family about their time in the service as well as current struggles. They help veterans get the care they need and the benefits they deserve. For more information, visit www.purpleheartfoundation.org.

Sport Clips haircuts can benefit ‘Help a Hero’ scholarships You can “help a hero” take their next career step when you get a haircut at one of the more than 1,400 Sport Clips Haircuts locations across the U.S. now through Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Sport Clips will share the overall goal of raising $750,000 for the company’s annual fundraising program, Help A Hero, that provides scholarships to active-duty military and veterans. Sport Clips has partnered with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) since 2007, creating the VFW’s “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” program (www.sportclips.com/hero) in 2013 to help service members and veterans in the next chapter of their lives. Each scholarship provides up to $5,000 of assistance to qualified individuals who have served in the military, are in need of financial assistance, and are pursuing an education at post-secondary institutions, including trade schools. Donations to Help A Hero will be collected by Sport Clips stylists and other team members in-store and at local fundraising events.
Sport Clips will also hold “The Biggest Haircut Day of the Year” on Veterans Day, when each store will donate $1 from every haircut service to the VFWadministered scholarship program. “Sport Clips and the VFW have awarded almost $1.2 million in Help A Hero scholarships to our nation’s heroes who are going to school to further their civilian careers,” said Sport Clips founder and CEO Gordon Logan, who is a U.S. Air Force veteran and lifetime member of the VFW. “Their time in the service was a sacrifice we can never really repay, but our gratitude and support through these scholarships is one way we can say ‘thank you.’ We appreciate the Sport Clips team members across the country who work hard every year to honor our military. And, we are grateful to
our clients who make donations during their haircut service.” U.S. Army Soldier Synovia Fairell said of her Sport Clips Help A Hero scholarship, “As I transition into the civilian world, it is greatly appreciated to know that my sacrifices for the betterment of our country have not gone unrecognized. Being selected to receive this scholarship has encouraged me to diligently strive to complete my goals. Thanks to Sport Clips Haircuts and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, my load has just become a bit lighter.” Sport Clips is the official haircutter of the VFW, and its Help A Hero program is just one of the many ways it supports active-duty military and veterans.

Becoming veterans’ best friends By KAREN TANG Capital News Service
The dogs at Warrior Canine Connection are veterans’ best friends. Trained by service members, a group of the dogs graduated Saturday, Oct. 17, and became permanent fourlegged aides to disabled veterans or veterans in need. WCC’s third graduating class of 14 dogs was celebrated at Montgomery College’s Globe Hall in Germantown. Among those celebrating was Marshall Peters, one of the group’s dog instructors. A former veteran who served in the Navy for 6½ years as a hospital corpsman, Peters had a hard time transitioning back into civilian life after his deployment in 2009 and 2010 at the Role 3 Multi-National Medical Unit in Kandahar, Afghanistan. “The dogs were a big part of my recovery,” Peters said. Working at WCC has changed Peters’ life. He likes to work with other service members and give back to the veterans. “It’s more than a job,” Peters said. “It’s a calling and another mission to be a part of.” Warrior Canine Connection is a nonprofit organization based in Brookeville.
The group breeds golden and Labrador retrievers. Training starts when the puppies are three weeks old. The group’s primary focus is to socialize the dogs with different people and noises so they are used to everyday situations. The puppies in training are taught commands and a variety of other things that will help a fellow disabled veteran, such as retrieving objects, providing balance, wheelchair pulling, opening and closing doors, and turning lights on and off. The animal-assisted therapy at Warrior Canine Connection is a unique form of treatment for current and former service members who have had trouble adjusting to their daily lives after military service. They are given the opportunity to train service dogs that, once fully trained, go home with fellow veterans. Training with the dogs helps address a lot of the issues that occur with posttraumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and combat trauma, Peters said. “Being able to train the dog requires that [the veteran is] practicing sounding happy, practicing being assertive and practicing being patient,” said Rick Yount, the organiza-
tion’s executive director. The dogs are trained until they are 2½ to 3 years old before being assigned to a veteran with a disability, Peters said. WCC operates at four locations: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, The National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Battalion in Virginia, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Menlo Park, Calif. Working with the dogs can help improve a veteran’s sense of patience and the ability to control his or her emotions, Peters said. Trainers are encouraged to use positive, high-pitched voices to praise the dogs for doing well, Yount said. “From what we’ve seen from the past seven years, it’s an amazing opportunity to have a veteran challenge their automatic distorted thought,” Yount said. Not only are the veterans teaching themselves the world is a safe place, but they also are doing it for the dog, Yount said. “We are completing [the WCC’s] mission when we see those dogs make huge differences in the veterans,” he said.
Fun facts about America’s national anthem The national anthem is synonymous with the United States America, and its notes very well may be the patriotic glue that binds the country together. Although the lyrics and music of the song are widely known, many may be unfamiliar with the rich history behind the beloved tune.
A poem is born America began its fight for independence from Great Britain in 1775, and the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 to identify the 13 colonies that succeeded in winning their independence from Britain. However, the battles with Britain stretched on. Fights over territories kept disputes between the British Empire and the newly formed United States raging on, and it was during one such fight, and not during the Revolutionary War as some may think, that “The Star Spangled Banner” was written.
The War of 1812 was declared by the United States to set right some of the issues that were not resolved after the Revolutionary War. Francis Scott Key was an American lawyer at the time of this war, negotiating for the release of an American hostage being held by the British. Although Key won the hostage’s release, he was not able to leave the British fleet where the negotiations took place until the British completed their attack on Baltimore. Key witnessed the British fiery bombs on Ft. McHenry at Chesapeake Bay. Just before dawn on the morning of Sept. 14, 1814, Key was said to have noticed a huge American flag still waving above Ft. McHenry in defiance to the British attack. This imagery helped inspire the words of a poem that eventually would become the national anthem. Key penned the poem on the back of a letter he held in his pocket. After the battle was over and Key was released, he
completed the poem at the Indian Queen Hotel, where he was staying. The poem was titled, “Defense of Fort M’Henry.” The poem was put to music to fit the popular melody “The Anacreonic Song” by English composer John Stafford Smith. Key’s brother-in-law, Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, anonymously made the first printing of the lyrics to the melody, and the song was printed in two newspapers. The song quickly became popular, and soon after, Thomas Carr of the Carr Music Store in Baltimore, Md., published the words and music under a new title, “The StarSpangled Banner.”
‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ takes off “The Star-Spangled Banner” became one of the nation’s most beloved patriotic songs in the 19th century. According to Smithsonian, the song gained special significance during the
Civil War, a time when many Americans turned to music to express their feelings for the flag and the ideals and values it represented. The military used the song for ceremonial purposes, requiring it be played at the raising and lowering of the colors. But many versions of the song were used during these ceremonies and celebrations.
By the 20th century, President Woodrow Wilson wanted to establish a standard version, so he tasked the United States Bureau of Education to provide an official version. In response, the Bureau of Education enlisted the help of five musicians, including Walter Damrosch, Will Earhart, Arnold J. Gantvoort, Oscar Sonneck and John Philip Sousa, to
agree on an arrangement. This new standardized version was first played on December 5, 1917, at Carnegie Hall. It wasn’t until March 3, 1931, that “The Star-Spangled Banner” became the official national anthem of the United States when President Herbert Hoover signed this designation into law.

Honor our veterans with acts of kindness, service The men and women who defend the liberties and freedoms of the countries they represent hold a special place in people’s hearts and an eternal spot in their countries’ histories. Any opportunity is a good time to commemorate the bravery and selfless deeds of military personnel, but certain prominent holidays in November make this an especially important time to thank veterans for their service. Nov. 11 is Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada. It’s also known as Armistice Day in other parts of the world. These holidays honor all military veterans who have provided service to their countries, and that each falls on Nov. 11 is no coincidence, as the day commemorates the anniversary of the end of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Many places around the world pause and remember fallen veterans on Nov. 11, but a good majority of Veterans Day commemorative events focus on past and current veterans who are
still alive. There are many ways to honor the military at home for the November festivities. The following are just a handful of ways to show appreciation for military men and women. • When dining out, ask your server if you can pay the tab for a soldier or veteran you see in the restaurant. • Attend a military parade with your family and explain the significance of the day to children in attendance. • Draft letters and send care packages to soldiers currently in service far away from home. • Ask your company if Veterans Day can be an observed holiday at your place of business each year to pay homage to servicemen and women. • Visit a military memorial. • Petition town officials to erect a memorial if your town does not already have one. Such memorials can be a source of inspiration for your community. • Support a military family in your town who may be missing a loved one stationed elsewhere. Make meals, mow the lawn, help with grocery shopping, or
simply provide emotional support. • Volunteer time at a veterans’ hospital. You may be able to read with veterans or engage in other activities. • Get involved with a military support charity that can provide much-needed funds to struggling families
or disabled veterans. • Have children speak with veterans in your family, including grandparents, uncles and aunts or even their own parents. It can help them gain perspective on the important roles the military plays. • Ask a veteran to give a commencement speech at
a school or to be the guest of honor at a special function. • Drive disabled veterans to doctors’ appointments or to run any errands. • Support a local VFW organization. • Create a scrapbook for a veteran in your life. • Cheer for or thank mili-
tary personnel each time you see them. • Visit the veterans’ portion of a nearby cemetery and place poppies or other flowers on the graves. • Always keep the military on your mind and never forget those who have served and didn’t return home.

Celebrating Veterans Day The role of the brave men and women who serve in the military is an important one, and it’s one that warrants appreciation and celebration. The following are a few easy ways to celebrate veterans and their significant contribution to our country this Veterans Day. • Offer your thanks. Serving in the military can feel like a thankless job, as those who have not served might not be aware of the risks men and women in the military take and the sacrifices they must make to protect our country and help the less fortunate across the globe. As a result, something as simple as saying “Thank you” to a current service member or military veteran can go a long way. Veterans know they don’t serve in vain, but it’s still a great idea to let them know how much you appreciate their efforts and sacrifices. • Help families of active military. Many service members are currently stationed and serving overseas, and their families back home may need or just appreciate a helping hand. Invite family members of active military over for dinner, offer to do chores like cutting the grass or shoveling the driveway when it snows or help around the house if something needs fixing. Even if families of active members serving overseas appear to be getting along great, offer your

bottles in the hut that I would sleep in that had heat,” Wahlgren said. “When I got up that afternoon, that entire case of water bottles was frozen solid. I could have used one of those bottles as a brick.” Wahlgren saw a lot of combat while serving, and said getting shot at is “not fun.” Wahlgren’s unit did not have any direct casualties. The last two times he was in Afghanistan, he worked out of a large airbase in the mountains and the air ambulance unit was right next to them. Wahlgren said he could tell when the ambulances were transporting someone who was critically injured by the way they would “come in hot.” He doesn’t believe he has had a bad tour, and said if it wasn’t for the Navy, then he wouldn’t have gotten to see some great places he’s come across around the world. Staying in touch with family back at home was difficult for Wahlgren. The main form of communication when he first joined the military was the Military Auxiliary Radio System, which he compared to a telegraph system. This process was time consuming and messages would take several days to send. There were phone cards available for purchase that would allow up to 10 minutes of conversation. Phone banks could always be found when ships docked. “What’s known today as snail mail was a common thing back then,” Wahlgren said. Wahlgren enjoyed the food that was served to him, be it meals ready to eat or food on the ship, which he described as “great.” He was rarely stressed and did not feel much pressure. He credited the service being all volunteer as a major reason it was not a stressful experience, because everyone typically wants to be there. “I wasn’t stressed unless someone was shooting at me,” said Wahlgren. He would play cards and watch movies
friendship and let them know you’re there to help should anything arise. • Visit hospitalized veterans. Unfortunately, many veterans are hospitalized after suffering an injury during a tour of duty. These veterans sacrificed their physical well-being to protect our way of life, and many spend extended periods of time in the hospital. Visiting a hospital to get to know a veteran and spend some time with him or her, sharing a few laughs and thanking them for their service, is a great way to celebrate the holiday and lift a veteran’s spirits at the same time. Recruit friends and family members to visit hospitalized veterans as well. • Pay for a veteran’s night out on the town. Like many people, veterans appreciate an escape from the daily grind. Men and women who want to show their appreciation to veterans can treat a veteran to a night out on the town. Have extra tickets to a ballgame or play? Donate them to a local VFW. Or if you see a veteran out on the town, offer to pay for his meal. • Thank businesses who support veterans. Many businesses show their gratitude to veterans by offering them free services on Veterans Day. When a local business shows its appreciation to veterans, patronize that business and let them know you appreciate their efforts to help.
in his free time. He also recalled “indoctrinating” many of his comrades with pranks. Wahlgren enjoyed reading as a pastime and said he read a lot of books in the service. His most memorable moment was being called and told he was selected to be a chief petty officer. He was called about this promotion while working at the sheriff’s office. This decision comes down from a sequestered board and has to get the approval of Congress. Wahlgren has received countless medals, but the highest ranked medal he has been awarded is the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, which is presented for sustained acts of heroism. After 25 years of service, Wahlgren is still in the Reserves and currently ranked a senior chief. He’s not as involved in direct combat roles as he was three years ago. “When I enlisted, I was a young man without any positive direction,” Wahlgren said. “It gave me the positive direction I was looking for.” Being in the Navy has changed Wahlgren’s perspective on war. He said there should be more veterans in Congress because they can sometimes be hasty in making military decisions. “Sometimes I think maybe Congress can be a little quick to pull the trigger with the military because they haven’t been there,” he said. “If you haven’t been there, sending somebody else’s kid off to war is not as hard as if you’ve been those kids before. We just don’t have as many veterans in Congress as 10 years ago.” Wahlgren is a member of the Chief Petty Officers’ MESS, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, though he said he can’t participate in many local activities because he still travels frequently. “These guys, I honestly believe, try to be a voice for veterans’ concerns,” Wahlgren said. Wahlgren has accepted the fact that by the time he retires, he will have been uniformed, in one way or another, his entire adult life.
Did you know? Baby Boomers Baby Boomers make up the largest generation of Americans born in United States history. Boomers include anyone born between the years 1946 and 1964, as the number of births began to rise as World War II veterans returned home from battle. The greatest number of Baby Boomers were born in 1957, when numbers peaked at 4,300,00. That equates to roughly 8 children born per minute throughout the year. By 2019, the last of the Baby Boomers, or those born in 1964, will be eligible for many senior benefits offered to people age 55 and up. Ten years later, most will be eligible for retirement.
The American Legion Randolph Furey Post 170, wishing to thank all Veterans past and present for your service in defending our nation.
