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.

By Patrick McCallister For Veteran Voice Phil Heycock was a Vietnam-era combat veteran who lived his last days at the Department of Veterans Affairs’ West Palm Beach Medical Center’s Hospice and Palliative Care Program. In Heycock’s worldview, that’s the end of his story. He expected no afterlife, no heaven, no reunions with departed loved ones, no hereafter. Heycock was an atheist and secular humanist. He died about a year ago. But Heycock left behind a message for the VA — get some humanist chaplains. Well, maybe they didn’t have to be

moving that it united 28,442 people in Milwaukee Brewers’ Miller Park for the star-spangled premiere, setting a Guinness Book World Record for the largest attendance at a film screening. The film not only honors the legacy of the WWII veterans, but also provides a much-needed perspective – challenging the audience to think deeply about what it means to live in freedom. “We are thrilled that Treasure Coast Hospice is partnering with us on this project,” Todd Tucker, vice chair of Southeast Florida Honor Flight, said. “Their staff actively supports the Honor Flight mission by volunteering to be chaperones and writing letters of appreciation for distribution on flights.” Lori Posdal, director of community relations at Treasure Coast Hospice, added, “Keeping with the spirit of the film, we will recognize all those in attendance who have served in our armed forces.” Admission is free, but space is limited. Reserve your seat at tchospice.org/flight or contact Mayce DelValle (772) 4031758. The screening is open to all ages, and the venue is handicap accessible. Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization created solely to honor America’s WWII and terminally ill veterans for all their sacrifices. Since 2005, it has flown more than 100,000 veterans to Washington, DC. Southeast Florida is one of 117 hubs across the country. Funds are raised to guarantee that every WWII veteran flies absolutely free. Donations to Southeast Florida Honor Flight are welcomed. Treasure Coast Hospice is a nonprofit community organization of caring professionals and dedicated volunteers whose mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive, high-quality care for patients and those who share their lives in St. Lucie and Martin counties. Services are available to anyone regardless of their ability to pay, including counseling and bereavement services.

Dying soldier’s last word to VA: make room for atheist chaplains

he U.S.S. E.F. Larson DD830 destroyer served in WWII with distinction. A 3-foot by 1-1/2-foot high scaled model of this ship was said to exist but kept eluding the E.S.S. E.F. Larson DD830 Association, which asked for volunteers to search for its whereabouts. Well, ask for volunteers no more. I, Dr. Domenick Scarlato, am the owner of this outstanding model, which is on loan to the St. Lucie County’s Veterans Office in Port St. Lucie. This ship is encased in a large plexiglas case and is overseen by a veteran’s counselor, Donna Carlsen.

To relate how this beautiful 3-foot by 1-1/2foot destroyer was built to be an exact scaled model, I must go back to 1947 when I served aboard the Larson as a Fireman 1st Class with the “A” Gang. My love for the sea was born aboard the Larson, and I always wished to have a model of my ship. In 1965, I was employed in the New York Naval Shipyard, commonly called the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as a welding supervisor. I developed a very close relationship with a model maker, John Erikson, who worked in the Design Department. I managed to commission him to build an exact scaled model of the Larson for a nominal fee. He agreed and said it will take a lot of time, possibly 12 to 18 months, as he will do this at his home. Exactly 12 months later, John delivered to my home in Bellrose, Queens, N.Y., a 3-foot exact scaled model enclosed in a Plexiglas case. The detail of the ship

Photo courtesy of Domenick Scarlato Domenick Scarlato poses for a photo with St. Lucie County veterans counselor Donna Carlsen and the custom-made scale model of the U.S.S. Everett F. Larson. According to NavSource Naval History, the ship was named for PFC Everett Larson: ‘Everett Frederick Larson was born on 3 September 1920 in Stamford, Connecticut. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve on 13 January 1942. Serving on Guadalcanal, Private First Class Larson was killed in action on 8 October 1942, while attempting to swim the Matankiau River under heavy enemy fire to rescue a wounded comrade. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star Medal for this selfless courage, and shared in the Presidential Unit Citation awarded his division for its actions on Guadalcanal.’ was remarkable. Every item, from its 5-inch gun turrets, the 40mm, 20mm, radar antennas, the torpedo tubes and even the anchor chains, rope lines, brass screws, fire extinguishers, etc., was unbelievable. This professionally made model could be used in a Hollywood movie and would pass as a real combat ship. If anyone is ever in Port St. Lucie, please visit the St. Lucie County’s Veterans Office. Say hello to Donna Carlsen, and when you view the Larson, you will feel the roll of the ship and smell the aroma of the salt air. I still do. Incidentally, any veterans who

may have been injured or developed a condition they believe was service-related, do not hesitate to visit the St. Lucie County’s Veterans office in Port St. Lucie. Fair winds and calm seas to all. Domenick Scarlato served in the U.S. Navy on active duty from 1944-48 and later in the Naval Reserve and National Guard. He holds a doctorate of education and because of his work in special education, has been involved in an advisory capacity while changes to national mental health care policies occurred over the last 50 years. He has been a St. Lucie West resident for 14 years.

called chaplains. “Secular humanist support representative” would work. Phil Katrovitz, a Korean- and Vietnam-era veteran, said the VA’s chaplains sometimes rub against the growing number of atheist, agnostic and humanist veterans among their ranks. Katrovitz said when he’s been at VA hospitals, chaplains sometimes just didn’t get the picture. “I’ll make it very simple,” he said. “I don’t want to hear it. I make it just short of, ‘Get the (expletive) out of my room.’” A few weeks before he died, Heycock got help writing a letter with his wishes that the VA “initiate policies that ensure that non religious veterans receive the same level of recognition and support as is currently provided to religious veterans.” Heycock was a member of the Humanists of the Treasure Coast. Founder and president Joe Beck said he helped Heycock compose the letter to the VA administration. Beck gave Veteran Voice an electronic copy, but was unable to verify its authenticity. Beck said Heycock requested that he wait until after his death to pass the letter onto the VA. He said Heycock was concerned about social retribution if the letter was given to hospital administration before he died. Chaplain Anthony Beazley, chief of chaplain service department at the West Palm VAMC, was not skeptical that the letter expressed Heycock’s thoughts, and Katrovitz said it was consistent with statements he made to him. “I could empathize with him and his plight, because I do use the VA for services,” Katrovitz said. “I know exactly how he feels.” Heycock’s letter continues, “Currently religious, theistic 0riented Chaplains are on staff and visit patients including secular humanist atheist like myself. While the Chaplains have been friendly, according to their Christian beliefs I will be burning in hell after my demise. While I respect their right to believe as they wish, I don’t find their perspective on death comforting.” The First Amendment’s establishment clause forbids government employees from doing anything that can be reasonably construed as establishing religion: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” It also protects the expression of ideas and beliefs. Beazley, who’s ordained by the Southern Baptist Convention, said that VA chaplains are firmly trained to avoid using their positions to promote religions.

“We learn that our job is not to convert people,” he said. “I would never try to convert a person. I would not cross that line.” He said that to become a VA chaplain, one must complete a minimum of 800 hours of training called “clinical pastoral education.” However, in a growing marketplace of religions, spiritual ideologies and even non-belief, there are limitations on who can become a VA chaplain. Beazley said a candidate must have a master’s degree in divinity, two years of pastoral experience, and the sponsorship of a faith-based organization. Not many humanists or members of smaller religions, such as Wicca, could get those credentials. For example, Beck’s education and background are in psychiatric social work. While that could make him a good candidate for visiting a wide range of individuals at VA hospitals and helping to ensure their needs are met — and Humanists of the Treasure Coast is a not-for-profit organization same as churches — Beck couldn’t apply to be in the VA’s chaplaincy services. Not without going to school for a divinity degree, along with getting pastoral experience and the sponsorship of a faith organization. None of that is likely for a humanist. Beck isn’t looking to become a chaplain at the VA. Beazley said a chaplain doesn’t have to share another’s beliefs to help him or her. “I don’t try to change their thoughts, but I try to help them in their belief to find their resources,” he said. Katrovitz said that Beazley’s claims that chaplains don’t proselytize non-believers at VA medical facilities are naïve, or deceptive. While he agreed that chaplains don’t seem to engage in flagrant proselytizing, there are soft forms of it. For example, deliberately speaking with religious patients loudly enough for others with different beliefs to hear. “What’s a chaplain doing in the room if he’s not going to talk about religion?” Katrovitz asked. Additionally, Beazley said the VA has no prohibitions on chaplains wearing garb, ornaments or jewelry representing their faiths. “I can still wear a cross, just like a rabbi can wear a yarmulke,” he said. Of course, symbols become important to believers because they instantly transmit vast amounts of ideology at a glance. Katrovitz said he’s also encountered attempted proselytizing

The days of old soldiers just fading away are becoming history. Viera Manor Assisted Living Facility, Melbourne, will become the home for many “old soldiers,” sailors, Marines and airmen. “What’s exciting about this project is the facility may end up being occupied 100 percent by veterans or widows of veterans,” John Goode, managing member of INVECO Senior Housing, said. While privately owned, the new facility is on 15 acres of Department of Veterans Affairs land adjacent to the Viera Outpatient Center, 2900 Veterans Way, Viera. INVECO has a 55-year Enhanced Use Lease that can be extended to 75. Goode said construction of the 64,000-square-foot, two-story

facility was about $12 million. It was financed, in part, by loan guarantees made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. “We combined two different agencies of the U.S. government to develop assisted living we could then provide discount rates to veterans,” Goode said. Goode believes Viera is the only assisted-living facility in the United States that was developed using VA and HUD programs to help a private business provide housing for veterans. “It is a first of its kind,” he said. The Vietnam veteran served in the Army from 1968 to 1971. Viera has 86 apartments for 100 residents. Its lease requires that 80 percent of residents be veterans or spouses of veterans. James Brassard, director of marketing, is a veteran of operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He said Viera

ATHEIST from page 5 among volunteers at VA centers. Beazley said that’s one reason the VA doesn’t accept volunteer chaplains. Additionally, he said one of his jobs as chaplain is to help prevent proselytizing by VA staff and volunteers. “Chaplains defend people’s right not to have religion imposed upon them,” he said. Beazley said that he maintains contact information for representatives of different faiths and practices that he can call in to meet with patients — if they request it. Humanists of the Treasure Coast, he said, is among those he can call in to meet patients. Beck said that he’s never gotten a call from the VA asking him to meet with any patients, but he has regularly visited patients such as Heycock, members of the humanist organization, when he knew they were at the VA hospital. Questions about the VA’s chaplains may grow in coming years. An increasing number of

Humanists of the Treasure Coast has regular meetings in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach and Jupiter. For information, visit humtc.com.

Hammock Creek Golf Club is excited to announce the renovation of its greens to Tif Eagle ultra-dwarf grass this summer. The new grass will provide a smooth and consistent speed far in excess of the current speed of the greens. In addition to the greens, we will be making other minor changes to the course and working to improve the overall turf conditions. We know you will enjoy the end result of this effort! If you have purchased one of our Summer Coupon Programs please feel free to call us to explore and discuss your options at 772-220-2599. Our last day of business will be on Saturday, June 2nd, 2012.

We are going to have our Grand Re-Opening on or before Monday, October 7th, 2013.

VETERAN VOICE • THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE • MAY 17, 2013 • 9

MANOR from page 6 stands to improve the quality of life for many older veterans who’d otherwise be unwilling to move into assisted-living facilities. “A lot of times guys are stubborn about not needing help,” he said. “We’re offering a service that a lot of veterans need, but they have a lot of pride and are reluctant to seek the help.” Brassard said the prospect of camaraderie with dozens of other veterans will likely attract many. Doug Love, executive director, said veterans have been very interested in Viera’s offerings. He said it’s possible all the rooms will be reserved when the facility opens next month. “I’ve been in assisted living for 14 years,” he said. “I found this to be a unique opportunity, because we are on VA property.” Goode declined to say how much apartments will cost, noting that there are numerous factors that’ll affect each resident’s rent. Addi-

tionally, he declined to say what INVECO will pay the federal government for its lease. Mike Strickler, public affairs specialist at the Orlando VA Medical Center, also declined to say how much the lease is. “VA policy is not to comment on the cost and leave that disclosure to the (Enhanced Use Lease) holder, a matter of business courtesy,” he said in an e-mailed response to inquiries. Goode said he spent the last six years on this project for a simple reason. “I’m a veteran and this was an opportunity to provide this for veterans and I was determined to see this through and make it happen.” Goode expects Viera Manor to employ about 40. There are about 100,000 veterans in Brevard County. For information about Viera Manor, visit vieraassistedliving.com, or call (321) 735-8850.

At least 80 percent will be veterans and spouses. Goode believes 100 percent will be. Love is the executive director.
