Tico Warbird Airshow amazes, delights

Mary Kemper staff writer

your

VIEW

Editor’s note: Members of the staff of Veteran Voice spent the weekend at the 2014 Tico Warbird Airshow in Titusville, March 13-16. Here are Mary Kemper’s observations.

Can I say “wow?” Is it too big of a cliché to describe the 2014 Tico Warbird Airshow? No — no word, cliché or not, is big enough.

From the moment we put up our booth till the moment we took it down, it was one wonderful thing after another.

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Geico Skytypers pilot Tom Daly performed aerobatic maneuvers with his team during the Tico Warbird Airshow in Titusville for 3 days last weekend.

It was my first airshow, so perhaps I have a different perspective from those who have attended many of them. But that “first-time” feeling is why people love to go to airshows, and particularly the Valiant Air Command’s yearly event.

It was a trip through yesteryear, set to the roar of engines and astonishing aerial maneuvers. It was veterans, from World War II to the present day, telling their

stories and sharing priceless memories. And it was history making history.

This year, there was a tribute to the famous Tuskegee Airmen, who served in the Army Air Corps in World War II. Only nine are still living, and three were on hand to chat and sign autographs.

These gracious men, now in their 80s, had to overcome so many barriers, and fought so

valiantly in war and in peace.

Though they’ve slowed down a bit, they are every inch the officers and gentlemen our country can be proud of.

Retired Flight Officer (equivalent to first lieutenant) Daniel Keel, formerly of New York and now of Massachusetts, served from 1943 to 1946.

“These guys went through so much … and you will never hear an unkind word from any of them about how they were treated.

“I think they paid everyone back in the way they flew.”

OUR MISSION STATEMENT AND OUR OBJECTIVE

Veteran Voice is a weekly publication designed to provide information to and about veterans to veterans and to the broader community. Veterans are an integral part of their Florida communities, which currently have individual organizations of their own, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Vietnam Veterans of America and many other groups with a narrow focus, but no convenient way to connect to a wider population of veterans and to the community in general within a limited geographic area, their community.

The mission of Veteran Voice is to publish a weekly source of information that will provide, in one place, a listing of resources available to veterans, articles about changes in policies or organizations affecting veterans and events of interest to veterans as well as articles about veterans of interest to the general public.

Veteran Voice LLC is organized as a partnership of experienced newspaper executives with an interest in veterans and in the communities of Florida veterans and friends. Veteran Voice is a start-up intended to address a perceived lack of information readily available to veterans on programs and policies affecting them and objective reporting of veteran affairs to the public.

To our knowledge, and based on comments from leaders of local veterans organizations, there was no media or website currently meeting this need until the launch of Veteran Voice.

We hope you agree, and will support this publication with your subscription. Without subscriptions there will be a limited number of people we can help, without which this mission will not be realized. As part of our commitment to supporting local veteran communities, we will donate 10 percent of our profits each quarter to qualified veteran charities recommended by you, our readers and subscribers. Please let us know what you think by emailing news@veteranvoiceweekly.com or mailing your comments to us at 1919 S.W. South Macedo Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34984.

Florida Legislature aims to attract more veterans to Sunshine State The south wall of the Florida Vietnam War Memorial reflects the Florida Capitol to the north wall.

The memorial is on South Monroe Street in Tallahassee. The Florida House unanimously passed the Florida GI Bill on the first day of the 60-day legislative session, Tuesday, March 4.

The omnibus bill continued many items aimed at making the Sunshine State more attractive to veterans.

Why? He smiled, but there was a look in his eye that spoke volumes. Then I got it — because Keel was black.

Fellow Airman retired Lt. Col. Hiram Mann, PhD, of Titusville, was cheerful and tireless.

(Veteran Voice interviewed Mann earlier this year as a preview to the Tico Warbird Airshow, and I managed to get him and the other

Airmen to autograph a copy of that issue.)

Mann showed up on Media Day, the day before the show got under way, and never slowed down the whole weekend, despite being wheelchair-bound.

In fact, he was the very first person my managing editor, Tammy Raits, and I ran into when we arrived at the Valiant Air Command Museum.

He had pulled into his parking space, rolled down the window, and said, “Can you ladies get a

“These guys went through so much … and you will never hear an unkind word from any of them about how they were treated.

“I think they paid everyone back in the way they flew.”

Former Tuskegee Airmen instructor Lt. Col. Robert Hughes, retired tour guide to bring me a wheelchair?” Which, of course, we did — after realizing who he was and having to catch our breath.

I didn’t get a chance to talk to retired Flight Officer Richard Hall Jr., but I did get to meet retired Lt. Col. Robert Hughes, one of the Airmen’s flight instructors. He is white, and he has kept a close bond with his former students throughout the years.

“These guys went through so much,” he said. “And you will never hear an unkind word from any of them about how they were treated.

“I think they paid everyone back in the way they flew.”

He meant the magnificent record the Airmen had in combat — so much so that they were the only fighter-escort unit to be requested, rather than assigned, to bombing squadrons.

Another white instructor, retired Marine Corps Lt. Jerry Kneer, brought along his two grandsons, Contrell Daley, of Melbourne, and Devante McPherson, of West Palm Beach — who are black.

It really makes you think about how far our country has come in getting rid of prejudice. Those men gave so much in wartime, and not only in the air. The Tuskegee Airmen were treated terribly by their white countrymen — but kept holding their heads high, because they loved the same country that hated them.

Amazing.

Not only were the three Airmen at the Airshow, but also two members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs — Florence Mascott and Bea Haydn.

The WASPs flew every type of aircraft all around the world, doing transport duty so that men could go into combat. Out of some 25,000 who applied, only 1,074 were accepted.

Haydn wasn’t feeling well at the Airshow. Medics checked her out, and she wound up going back to her hotel to rest, and Mascott went with her.

While medics were attending Haydn, Mascott told me, “I was never more honored in my life to be a WASP. It was tough training, let me tell you — but it taught us discipline, and how to think properly.”

The WASPs were civilian — it wasn’t until 1978 that they were granted military status, and all its benefits and recognition.

The two pilots, both in their 80s, had planned a helicopter ride, but Haydn just wasn’t up to it.

What a shame.

Back at the booth, an endless stream of people stopped by to chat and to subscribe to our paper. Naturally, lots of them were veterans. What a neat and inter-

Trident House Team Challenge Golf outing with the Navy SEALS set for April FOR VETERAN VOICE

The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum announces its second annual Navy SEAL Golf Tournament Luncheon, Auction and Action on Sunday, April 6 at the Moorings Yacht and Country Club in Vero Beach. The funds raised by the event will benefit the National Navy SEAL Museum and Trident House in Sebastian, which serves as a healing place for our warriors and a retreat for families of fallen SEALs. “We have packed plenty into this event to make this second annual charity golf tournament both fun and well-attended, just like last year,” said Tom Juliano, chairman for the event. “There will be chipping, putting closestto-the-pin and hole-in-one contests. We’ll have great prizes, a raffle, a gourmet lunch and live and silent auctions. There will be time to interact with our Navy SEALs and special guests. This year we will also host the FDNY firefighters who will bike ride approximately 1,400 miles from

Ground Zero in New York to The National Navy-UDT SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce. This ride is to bring awareness to the Museum, and the Memorial Trident Home in remembrance of all of the lives that were changed by the events of 9/11. This is your opportunity to learn more about the intrigue and stealth of America’s most extraordinary and elite fighting men.”

The event honors the sacrifices of the navy SEAL community.

Tickets for golf and lunch are $195 per person and include lunch, prizes and an auction.

Lunch and auction only is $35.

For sponsorship opportunities and reservations, you may register at www.navySEALmuseum. com or contact Tom Juliano at tjuli@outlook.com or (772) 696-2009.

VETERAN VOICE • THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE • MARCH 21, 2014 • 7 “Man, oh, man, that’s flying.”

Marine Corps veteran, a spectator at the Tico Warbird Museum Airshow

SHOW from page 5 It was a joy to see these 17- and 18-year-olds in uniform, performing trash pickup and other duties cheerfully and professionally.

(A special shout-out to Neil Clark, Brittany Patrick and “The Eagle” mascot — if we can’t use your picture, it’s only because of space considerations. You upand-coming airmen rock!)

Re-enactor George Hachtel stopped by several times, and I wound up checking out his campsite in the World War II re-enactment area.

It was way cool. He had a barricade of rocks partially surrounding his tent, and inside the barricade were lots of authentic and replicated artifacts, including guns and communications equipment. Needless to say, Hechtel and his comrades were authentically dressed in uniforms of the period.

We even had people from different countries stop by.

A couple from Italy wanted a copy of the paper — even though they don’t live here, the gentleman is a veteran.

The Steenlands, a family from Orlando, are originally from the Netherlands. Their son, Dean, 6, broke the cute-o-meter in his kid-sized flight suit, which looked pretty authentic.

“We are proud to be a part of the museum, the Valiant Air Com-

mand,” Dean’s dad said.

The wind blew pretty hard on Saturday, and even harder on Sunday. More than once we had to chase flying copies of our paper, and on Sunday, we had to take the canopy off for fear the whole thing would topple over.

Helicopter flights had to be curtailed, but the fixed-wing flights went on.

And at least there wasn’t another micro tornado like the one that hit the Airshow last year. Army veteran Bob Dunn, of Garrison, Va., who owns Wings and Things Military Collectibles, told me he lost $15,000 worth of merchandise.

There were lots of vendors, selling everything from collectibles to food to hats. In one booth, a gentleman from Australia hawked his wares (His sign: “Come in and say G’day!”)

There were also booths set up for services to veterans, like the one for AVET Project (American Veterans Empowerment Team), run by Garren and Kim Cone.

Have a look at their website — avetproject.org — to see just what wonderful things they’re doing to help veterans.

Dozens of booths, hundreds of participating men and women,

most of them volunteers, all supported the Valiant Air Command in putting on such a historic show. Which, of course was all about the aircraft.

You sure knew when the Tico Belle, a restored bomber and the pride of the Valiant Air Command fleet, fired up her engines.

The sound was a deafening, throaty roar. I was taken back in my imagination to the days when thousands of bombers like the Tico Belle would have sat on the runway, gearing up for a bombing run.

The higher-pitched planes like the P-51 Mustang and the P-33 trainer emitted a menacing sound as they zoomed past, soared, and looped the loop.

“Man, oh, man, that’s flying,” I heard one spectator, a Marine veteran, say.

It would take a lot more space than I have to talk about the fantastic pilots who flew so flaw-

lessly, whether it was the fixed-wing planes or the attack helicopters.

Each has a long history of fascinating service — they are the top of the top.

The whole weekend, from start to finish, was one incredible experience. Meeting the Tuskegee Airmen? Beyond an honor, beyond a privilege.

The planes and their pilots?

Jaw-dropping amazing.

Getting to know some very wonderful veterans? How can you put a price on that?

The Valiant Air Command paid such a wonderful tribute to thousands of my and Tammy’s brothers and sisters in arms. We were proud to be a small part of it.

Treasure Coast could get next veterans nursing home Patrick McCallister For Veteran voice

patrick.mccallister@yahoo.com

St. Lucie County is in the running to get the next state veterans nursing home. All the county needs is to find at least 20 acres that meet the state’s requirements, careful planning, great presentation, and some good luck.

“There is a need (for a veterans nursing home) here,” Wayne Teegardin, the county’s veteran services manager, said. “There’s a need in the area. The other thing is, we’re going to be very aggressive in getting a package that will fulfill their needs.”

During its 2013 session, the Florida Legislature approved

JROTC honor

about $100,000 for an independent study to determine whether a new veteran nursing home was needed, and if so where it should go. Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet considered the study done by Health Strategies Inc. at a February meeting in Tampa.

Steve Murray, communications director at the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs, said that the governor and cabinet opted to send letters to counties the study identified as good places for veterans homes requesting letters of interest from them.

“Eight of the 10 counties did send us letters of intent telling

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Congressman Patrick Murphy congratulated JROTC member Samuel Cleghorn of Jensen Beach with his recognition of being chosen as a bronze medalist for Florida’s 18th Congressional District Award Sunday, March 9 at Eissey Campus Theatre at Palm Beach State College.

speak English, but I am not an Englishman, I am not a Canadian, I am not an Australian nore a New Zealander. My nationality and culture is American.

So why is a Cuban, Mexican, San Salvadoran, Argentinian, etc., who speak Spanish called Hispanic? Our government has conveniently put all Spanish-speaking groups into one category. This grouping is causing each to lose their unique identity and be stereotyped in America.

Each group has its own unique culture and nationality and all are not Spanish, per se.

We should allow these groups to be proud to say where they are from and identify themselves as such. Each group has a unique culture to bring to America. Past immigrants have infused their culture into America, which gave American a culture of diversity.

This cultural diversitydid not divided us, but made up unique and have developed into one people called Americans’ It is the hope that some persons or organizations take up the banner and allow these immigrants, including their natural born children, to keep their identity and culture and be assimilated in the American culture as all past immigrants have done before.

Wake up, American, before it is too late. We need more unity and not division.

hensive military and veterans package this body, or any other state, has voted on,” he said.

Murray said the state veterans department strongly backed the bill.

“The idea of helping attract vets to Florida and having them stay here — good,” he said. “We want them to stay in Florida and be productive citizens.”

Florida is one of only four states with a veterans population exceeding a million. The others are Texas, California and New York. The state has about 61,000 active-duty personnel in it.

lessness is higher. The state believes that about 7.3 percent of veterans are unemployed. To be counted in the unemployment rate, one has to be able to work and looked for a job in the previous 30 days. Many believe that the unemployment rate is doubled if discouraged workers — those who can and want to work, but have abandoned job hunting — are counted.

its trust funds last session. The trust has about $47 million.

“It will be from a trust fund for this home,” he said. “No general revenue will be used for this home.”

The governor’s proposed 20142015 budget included an additional $20 million, for a total of $111 million, to the FDVA. Part of that is for construction of two new veterans homes. It’s likely that the state will only be able to build one this upcoming fiscal year, which goes from July to June. That’s because the federal VA has budget constraints that might prohibit it from paying a share on two homes.

Murray said bidding counties will make initial presentations in May. “You could probably see dirt turned a year from now if everything goes according to plan,” he said.

One thing the state doesn’t want to do is buy land. Teegardin said the county is searching through its inventory of properties to find those that’ll meet the requirements for a veterans home to donate to the state. Additionally, Teegardin said, the cities of Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce are also looking through their properties to see if they have some that meet the requirements they’d be willing to donate to the state. They have a large incentive to find some land.

“It’s going to create at least 190 jobs,” he said.

The state has about 1.6 million veterans. Nearly a third are Vietnam-era veterans. Teegardin said that there are about 112,000 veterans 65 or older in the area a state nursing home in St. Lucie could serve.

us they were interested in bidding,” Murray said.

Murray said that St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties were on that list. Palm Beach, he said, didn’t send a letter of intent. Others on the list were Lee, Collier, Polk, Manatee, Hillsborough, Marion, Putnam and Sumter.

Among other things, the state veterans department operates six nursing homes with 120 beds each, and an assisted living facility with 150. The nursing homes are, by far, the FDVA’s largest function. The state is planning on doubling the number of nursing homes in the foreseeable future.

The closest state veterans nursing home to the Treasure Coast is the Alexander “Sandy” Nininger Veterans’ Nursing Home, 8401 W. Cypress Drive, Pembroke Pines.

The next closest is the Emory L. Bennett State Veterans’ Nursing Home, 1920 Mason Ave., Daytona Beach. Bennett was built in 1993. Nininger in 2001.

Murray said the last home was built in 2010. That was the Clyde E. Lassen State Veterans’ Nursing Home in St. Augustine. That home cost about $30 million to build. The state paid about 35 percent of the costs. The federal Department of Veterans Affairs — which is separate from the state veterans agency — paid about 65 percent.

Other homes are in Land O’ Lakes, Panama City and Port Charlotte. The assisted living facility is in Lake City.

Murray said the FDVA has the needed money for its share to go forward with building a state veterans nursing home, because of changes the legislature made to
