Unveiling a focus for Memorial Day Names of four lost crewmembers join others on Wall South Story, photo by Ens. Jacob Kotlarski NASP Public Affairs

During a Memorial Day observance May 28 at Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park, a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Honor Guard unveils 140 names that were recently added to the Vietnam Veterans of Northwest Florida’s Wall South.

A special unveiling of 140 names that were recently added to the Vietnam Veterans of Northwest Florida’s Wall South was the highlight of the annual Memorial Day observance May 28 at the Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park.

Guest speaker retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Moyer was honored to be a part of the ceremony.

“All these names are very real people,” Moyer said. “I don’t know what words could ever put into perspective that brave men and women gave their lives so we could be here today.”

Among the names being added were four members of “The Lost Back End Crew,” Lt. Walter Linzy; ATC Joseph Aubin; ATR3 Richard Stocker and ATR3 Richard Hunt, of an EA-3B Skywarrior aircraft from Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron Two (VQ-2).

The Lost Back End Crew received this name after having to bail out over the South China Sea during an in-flight emergency while en route to a combat mission May 26, 1966. The men were never heard from again.

Control of the aircraft was regained after the back end crew bailed out. Lt. See Names on page 2

NATTC holds summer safety standdown From Naval Air Technical Training Center Public Affairs

More than 1,500 Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Sailors and Marines attended a safety standdown, May 25, in the Charles Taylor Hangar onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola.

The two-hour presentation was designed to remind the largely junior enlisted attendees of various safety considerations at the onset of what the Department of Defense (DoD) has termed the “101 Critical Days of

Summer,” a Naval Safety Centersponsored campaign beginning Memorial Day weekend and continuing through Labor Day. Service members and their families historically participate in numerous recreational activities during Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer, prompting a DoD-wide effort to mitigate the risk of injury by educating personnel and reinforcing methods of avoiding potential mishaps with the “101 Critical Days of Summer” program.

“We have a significant number of

junior Sailors going through our schools, and reminding them of some of the steps they can take to ensure they’re back in class after a long weekend is a responsibility of the entire NATTC staff,” said NATTC Commanding Officer Capt. Maxine Goodridge. “The safety of the young men and women learning the skills they will employ in the fleet is not just within the walls of our schoolhouses. Ensuring they are aware of recreational and everyday risks and See Safety on page 2

If you live on or off installation, we all share our unique natural resource, water. This vital resource includes the groundwater we drink and surrounding waters such as bayous, creeks and bays. We all depend on clean water for our health, the environment and our economy.

NAS Pensacola works diligently to ensure its water resources are pro-

tected and managed efficiently and effectively. One important aspect of this stewardship is stormwater management.

Three primary challenges of stormwater management are: draining stormwater quickly for flood prevention, ensuring stormwater has not picked up contaminants along the way and allowing stormwater to recharge groundwater and drinking water supplies.

Beach closure announced ... NASP officials have announced that Lake Frederic Beach is closed for all activities until further notice due to safety concerns. Severe beach and dune erosion, swift and unpredictable offshore currents, deep underwater drop-offs along the intracoastal waterway and the increased presence of commercial shipping traffic have resulted in dangerous conditions leading to the closure of the beach to recreational users. The base is working on a restoration plan that will reopen the beach for shoreline access and fishing from the shoreline, but water access will continue to be prohibited for wading, swimming, fishing or boating. Also, no motorized vehicles are allowed on base beaches and shorelines unless specifically authorized for security, safety, facilities projects or environmental restoration actions. This includes Lake Frederic Beach. ORVs, OHVs and ATVs are prohibited.

hazards is part of what we strive to impress on all those who serve.”

Highlighting the safety standdown was a nearly hour-long interactive presentation from Street Smart, Stay Alive From Education (S.A.F.E.). The program centered around distracted driving, seatbelt use and driving under the influence. The S.A.F.E. Street Smart presentation is interactively designed to assist Sailors and Marines in making smart choices concerning driving safety. Program facilitators demonstrated the consequences of making bad driving choices from their firsthand observations.

The two-hour program also included presentations from Escambia County Sheriff’s Office representatives discussing traffic safety and motorcycle guidelines and a beach and water safety brief from Santa Rosa Island Authority personnel.

NATTC Executive Officer Cmdr. Scott Sherman added that throughout the series of presentations, a common theme of looking out for one another was something the command strove to impress on the largely 18- to 20year-old audience.

“One of the other important aspects of this safety standdown is making sure these young men and women take care of each other,” he said. “In everything we teach here, we stress the importance and value of teamwork, and reiterating the idea of taking care of each other both on and off duty is something these Sailors and Marines can take with them when they transfer to duty stations around the world.”

For more than 70 years, with the last two decades at NAS Pensacola, the Naval Air Technical Training Center has been providing training and increasing readiness within the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE). The facility graduates approximately 15,000 Navy, Marine Corps and international students annually and is the largest training facility in the Navy post Recruit Training Command.

NATTC is part of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), which provides single site management for Navy and Marine Corps aviation technical training.

CNATT is the technical training agent for the NAE, an organization designed to advance and sustain naval aviation warfighting capabilities at an affordable cost under the Naval Education and Training Command.

Colin Pemberton, the navigator who stayed aboard the plane, recorded their bail out as “Lost Back End Crew” in his logbook.

The four men were not originally listed on the national Vietnam Veterans Memorial because they were not originally identified as “combat casualties” by the Department of Defense. Stephanie Loper, Hunt’s niece, spearheaded the campaign to fix that and have the names added to the memorial in Washington so they could be properly remembered for their efforts in the Vietnam War. Loper’s campaign was officially a success when the names were added to the memorial in 2012.

The ceremony in Pensacola took place on the same weekend 51 years after the Lost Back End Crew incident.

Loper said being a part of the project gave her the opportunity to meet the family members of the rest of the Lost Back End Crew. She attended the ceremony with Jay Aubin, the son of one of the four lost men.

“Through them I got to meet my uncle,” she said.

Loper’s uncle died five years before she was born.

Capt. Mark Stockfish, commodore Training Air Wing Six in Pensacola, has a direct link to the campaign to honor the men.

He was the commanding officer of VQ-2 when Loper ap-

proached the command for help with the project. He and his wife were present for both sets of name unveilings in Washington and Pensacola.

“Memorial Day is a great time for this ceremony,” Stockfish said. “It lets us remember all of our shipmates, especially the ones who have given the ultimate sacrifice like the Lost Back End Crew. I am so glad that I got to represent VQ-2 at both ceremonies and show that we remember our fallen comrades.”

Personally, each of us has a responsibility to protect water for ourselves and future generations, especially with respect to the second challenge of stormwater management; keeping stormwater clean and free of contaminants.

Here are some ways you can participate: • Never dump anything down storm drains or to gutters. Only rain water is allowed to go to storm drains.

• On base utilize the official installation wash racks or local car wash locations. Lots of pollutants are in the waste water from washing your car, and lots more can be

Unlike the Washington memorial, which adds names annually, Wall South does not update names regularly. The 140 names added to Wall South this year are in coordination with the names updated on the Washington memorial over the years.

added as the water travels from your car to a storm drain, including: oils and grease, metals, detergents, carcinogens and phosphorous (harmful to fish and other aquatic life).

NASP designated carwash locations are Bldg. 606 and Bldg. 600.

• Buy environmentally preferred products.

• Know what to do in case of a spill and who to notify.

• Check your car for leaks and recycle your used motor oil.

• Keep gutters and drains debris free. Debris can clog systems or be transported to waterways posing a hazard to wildlife. Report clogged storm drains to your building manager.

• Place vegetation to cover bare spots in your yard. Using native plants has many benefits including decreased irrigation needs.

• Use fertilizers sparingly and avoid pesticides.

• Direct down spouts away from paved surfaces.

• Pick up after your pet. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into storm drains and eventually into local waterbodies.

Each individual can make a difference.

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Christopher T. Martin Public Affairs Officer — Patrick J. Nichols The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super Hornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.

There’s real poetry behind tradition of playing ‘Taps’

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

O

ne evening in 1981 while I was at summer camp, I took a deep breath and blew a little too hard on the bugle’s mouthpiece.

The counselor who played “Taps” each night to signal “lights out” to the campers had agreed to let me be the substitute bugler that evening. Using only one semester of French horn lessons, I blasted the first note, temporarily silencing the cacophony of crickets and frogs rising from the lake.

I relaxed my diaphragm to soften the sound and continued, measure by measure. Just before the high G, I squeezed my eyelids shut and thinned out my lips. Would I make the note?

Those whose loved ones died in war while serving in the U.S. military know the sound of that high G all too well. In fact, they probably remember every one of the song’s 24 notes, because it is the somber bugle call played at all military funerals.

But many don’t realize that “Taps” didn’t start as a military burial tradition. The re-

How to submit a commentary

frain we know today was created in 1862, on the back of an envelope at a weary Civil War encampment along the James River in Virginia.

After seven hard days of fighting, Union Army Brig.

Gen. Daniel Butterfield decided he didn’t like the formal French bugle call (Napoleon’s favorite) known in Army manuals as “Extinguish Lights.”

He felt the rat-a-tat tune needed to be more melodic, so after his aide translated Butterfield’s inspiration into notes scribbled on the back of an envelope, he enlisted the help of the brigade bugler Pvt. Oliver Wilcox Norton to play it at camp that night and each night thereafter.

Nearby infantries heard the resulting melody, which some called “Butterfield’s Lullaby.”

Soon, this new version of “Taps” spread throughout the Union Army, and eventually, to the Confederate soldiers as

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, was a military spouse for more than 25 years. Her husband recently retired from the Navy. Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat andpotatoesoflife.com. well. Shortly thereafter, commands began using the bugle call while burying fallen Civil War soldiers, instead of the traditional three volleys of rifle fire, because they worried that the sound of gunfire

might be mistaken for an enemy attack.

In 1891, Army infantry regulations officially included “Taps” in military funeral ceremonies.

A lesser-known fact is that “Taps” has lyrics. Although several authors have been attributed to the simple poetry, the true author of the words is officially unknown.

Butterfield may not have envisioned that the bedtime melody he hummed to his aide along the James River on that steamy summer night in 1862 would be associated with the tragedy of death. However, the words that accompany “Taps” marry sleep with death in a beautiful metaphor that must offer some comfort to the grief-stricken families of fallen heroes.

One version of the lyrics can be found at www.npr.org/ templates/story/story.php?storyId=5436899.

“Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, from the skies.

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier, or sailor, God keep.

On the land, or the deep, Safe in sleep.

Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, and the night, need thee so?

All is well. Speedeth all To their rest.

Fades the light; and afar, Goeth day, and the stars, shineth bright.

Fare thee well; day has gone, Night is on.

Thanks and praise, for our days, ’Neath the sun, ’neath the stars, ’neath the sky, As we go, this we know, God is nigh.”

That night in 1981, after two flat misfires echoed from my bugle into the dusk, I finally made the high G note.

As I finished the song, I felt as if I might cry. Unsure if it was selfish pride or something else, the melancholy tune tugged dolefully at my heart.

At age 15, I didn’t know that “Taps” had accompanied the burial of countless fallen American military heroes. But undeniably, the notes conveyed a sense of something simple, yet complex.

Something ceasing, yet eternal. Something comforting, yet sorrowful. The tragic yet peaceful call of “lights out.”

Pearl Harbor vet gets birthday salute at NHP Story, photo by Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola Public Affairs Officer

T

wice a week, Francis “Frank” Emond drives more than 30 minutes to volunteer at Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP).

The Navy veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor turned 99 on May 21 and is showing no signs of slowing down.

While volunteering at the hospital, Emond greets visitors, answers the phone at the quarterdeck and pushes patients who need assistance in wheelchairs. He has been a Red Cross volunteer for 16 years and enjoys the interaction with patients and staff.

Originally from Rhode Island, Emond enlisted in the Navy in 1938 as a musician.

He played the French horn for the ship’s band and even got to perform at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York before he was assigned to the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) in Hawaii in the summer of 1941.

The day before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Emond and fellow Navy musicians played at a dance and band contest. His band won the contest against other bands from the USS California (BB-44) and USS Arizona (BB-39). His band later donated the trophy they won in memory to the men from the Arizona.

As the sun rose on Dec. 7, 1941, Emond was preparing for morning colors and the

raising of the American flag.

That is when Emond noticed the hundreds of Japanese planes that filled the sky followed by the sound of a torpedo striking a ship docked behind his battleship. In addition to being a musician, Emond was trained as a stretcher bearer and with the general alarm sounding amongst the sound of gunfire and explosions; he began retrieving injured and dead Sailors aboard the Pennsylvania.

“The sky was full of planes,” Emond said. “After the attack, we were issued rifles and ammo in case there was an invasion. I had the midnight to 4 a.m. watch that night patrolling on the dock alongside the ship. I walked with my rifle loaded and my finger on the trigger.”

Following the war, Emond remained in the Navy until he retired in 1968 in Pensacola.

He is currently married and has two sons, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. His 100-year-old brother still lives in Rhode Island.

“It’s important for everyone to give something,” Emond said when asked why he still volunteers at NHP. “Time is something that

everyone can give. It’s an important gift.”

Emond is a popular volunteer at NHP, although not everyone knows his history.

He is popular for the enthusiasm he brings to the hospital and the help he provides to patients and staff.

The hospital held a surprise birthday party for him May 23 to thank him for the service he provides.

“Frank inspires people,” said SCPO Clarence Wright, security officer at NHP. “I always take the time to talk to him and introduce younger Sailors to him. He is a walk-

ing history book, but he is very humble.”

Emond doesn’t just volunteer at the hospital, he is also active in his church and still conducts music. During Memorial Day weekend, Emond was scheduled to travel to New Orleans, Gulfport; Miss., and back to Pensacola to perform with the Pensacola Civic Band. He planned to share his experience at each concert and conduct the band during performances of “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

In advance of his Memorial Day trip, Emond said his thoughts have been of the

Navy band members aboard the USS Arizona who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor.

“They never had the chance to live a life like I did,” he said. “They never had a chance to have a family.”

Emond is already preparing for his next birthday, and he has lofting goals for when he turns 100.

“I plan on inviting President (Donald) Trump to my next birthday party,” he said.

“I figure I will send him an invitation in about six months.”

400th aviator gets wings in NITC program From NETSAFA Public Affairs

AOCM Christopher Johnson presents flowers to his mother during his retirement ceremony May 25 at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Master chief retires after productive 30-year career Story, photo by Jamie Link NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs

AOCM Christopher “CJ” Johnson retired after 30 years of service at a ceremony May 25 at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

The ceremony included the readings of the “Navy Wife,” “Old Glory,” the “CPO Retirement Creed” and “The Watch.” There was also a flag pass and a shadowbox presentation. Flowers were presented to family members. Guests included many former shipmates who traveled from all across the globe in order to take part in honoring Johnson’s 30 years of service.

Guest speaker for the ceremony was Cmdr. Jose Colon. Colon is currently the N411 Ordnance Operations Officer for Commander, United States Fleet Force (USFF), with Naval Activity Facility in Norfolk, Va. He is the first limited duty officer (LDO) 6360 designator at USFF. Colon spoke about serving with Johnson and shared stories about Johnson that were filled with gratitude.

“We are here to witness the final stage to a very productive 30-year career,” Colon said. “We are here to say thanks for the many contributions you made to make our Navy stronger and more capable in the uncertain world we live in today.

“Master chief, thanks for the many dedicated hours, the personal dedication and initiative that you put in to make our Navy a

better place,” Colon said A native of Bessemer, Ala., Johnson joined the Navy immediately after graduating from Oak Grove High School in June 1987. He then attended Aviation Ordnance Class A School at NATTC Millington, Tenn.

Upon graduating, Johnson reported to Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Fla., in Feb 1988 Johnson’s duty stations included VFA106 Cecil Field; VFA-131 Cecil Field; NamTraGru Detachment Cecil Field; VFA34 Cecil Field; NAS Jacksonville Weapons Department, Jacksonville, Fla.; HS-3 Jacksonville; FASO Detachment Jacksonville; Carrier Air Wing 17 in Oceana, Va.; USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), Norfolk, Va.; and CNATT Detachment, Whiting Field.

His deployments include several tours on the USS Eisenhower (CVN 69) in support of Operation Desert Storm, Operation Deliberation Forge and Operation Southern Watch. He also deployed onboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70).

Johnson thanked his family and expressed appreciation for their support in his remarks.

“Thank you to my family for supporting me and being there, and for the sacrifices you all had to make,” he said.

He presented his wife and daughter with flowers, and after the passing of the flag, the flag was presented to his father.

Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity’s (NETSAFA) International Training Center (NITC) marked the 400th international aviator trained as four students received their wings May 26.

All four students, from the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF), trained as helicopter pilots with Training Wing (TW) 5 at Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF). Saudi Arabian students represent the majority of the 400 international winged aviators training with NITC over the past three decades. Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) students also attend classes through NITC, completing weapon system officer (WSO) training with TW 6 at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

“Immersing international students in our U.S. Navy training and culture helps build partnership capacity for both the present and for the years ahead,” said Cmdr. Bill Gibson, NITC’s officer-in-charge. “These relationships are truly a win-win for everyone involved.”

The normal course length for students enrolled in aviation pilot or weapons systems officer preparatory training at NITC is 21 weeks. Once an international student completes NITC training, they move on to Aviation Preflight Indoctrination (API) at Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), and into the same training pipeline as U.S. counterparts.

“The RSNF pilot training we provide covers all phases of ground training for primary and advanced helicopter flight training, along with numerous simulator events before the student is turned over to one of the training squadrons,” said Lt. Cmdr. Malcolm Rumph, officer-incharge at NITC Detachment NASWF. The four newly winged RSNF aviators will return to Saudi Arabia where they will fly the AS332 Super Puma, AS365 Dauphin, or the AS565 Panther.

Additional countries coordinating aviation training with the U.S. are Algeria, Kuwait and Mexico. Two students from Mexico received their wings in February and two students from Algeria are expected to receive their wings in July.

NETSAFA, headquartered at Naval Air Station Pensacola, oversees all U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps international training and functions as the center of excellence in coordinating and supplying training and training support to internagovernments and tional organizations. NITC was established in 1988 to meet the aviation-specific training needs of international officer and enlisted students from allied nations. Over the years, NITC has added additional preparatory, technical and specialized training courses with aviation preparatory training still serving as the core mission area for NITC. “There are many instructors here at NITC who have dedicated years – literally decades, in some cases – to training international military students, most of which in the area of aviation preparatory training,” said Gibson. “As illustrated by that longevity and absolute dedication to the students that I witness day after day, this is clearly a mission that we believe in whole-heartedly.”

NETSAFA is the U.S. Navy’s agent for international education and training. For more information about NETSAFA, go to https://www. netsafa.navy.mil.

The nest has been identified as that of a loggerhead sea turtle. Visitors can pick up a free “turtle magnet” may stop by the Fort Pickens and Perdido Key entrance stations. The magnets remind every one of the importance of helping young sea turtles survive and that it is the time of year to turn off outdoor lights at night.

Beginning in mid-May and ending in late summer, several species of sea turtle are nesting. Turtles can be distracted or disoriented by man-made artificial light sources. By turning off excess outdoor lights at night and installing turtle friendly lights, you can help to protect nesting and hatching sea turtles. If you see a sea turtle at night, keep your distance and keep all lights off (including flash lights and flash photography).

GOSPORT

Japan’s sword shattered at

By Mike O’Connor Gosport Editor

Veterans, cryptographers and historians will take time this week to recall World War II’s Battle of Midway, considered to be the turning point in the battle for the Pacific.

Midway. A catastrophic defeat for Japan, and a desperately needed victory for America, the Battle of Midway destroyed the illusion of Japanese invincibility and set the stage for Japan’s inevitable defeat.

More than a halfway point, it was the turning point for World War II in the Pacific.

A string of quick victories had led to overconfidence in the Japanese admiralty, a condition they later termed “victory disease.” Its forces had run up success after success in the Pacific after the Dec. 7 attack on United States forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

The British battleship Prince of Wales and cruiser Repulse had been sunk on Dec. 10. Guam and Wake Island were seized, the Philippines invaded. Hong Kong and Singapore, too, fell into Japanese hands. By June 1942, Japan was in uncontested possession of the whole of Southeast Asia.

Japanese Naval General Staff strategic planner Fleet Adm. Isoroku Ya-

mamoto had sought to strike a decisive blow that would knock America out of the Pacific once and for all. By attacking Midway Island, an atoll actually consisting of two islands, Sand and Eastern Island – and also in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska – he hoped to draw the American carrier forces into a trap. If Japanese fleet forces succeeded in destroying the U.S. Navy’s carrier forces, which were untouched by the attack at Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto reasoned Japan would have a free hand in the Pacific for years.

Yamamoto was a wellknown gambler, but in his bid to take Midway he could not have known the deck was stacked against him. American cryptologic efforts, under the direction of Cmdr. Joseph Rochefort at Pearl Harbor’s Station Hypo, had made significant progress against the Japanese naval code then in use, called JN-25.

The Navy’s radio intelligence organization was able to decipher an increasing percentage of

enemy radio traffic and was beginning to offer clues to America’s military planners about Japan’s intentions.

In the months leading up to the Midway battle, the Station Hypo team was putting together a puzzle based on the information they knew. A large-scale Japanese naval offensive was in the making against a target they called “AF” but the focus of the attack was unclear.

The staff of Adm. Chester Nimitz, commander of the U.S. fleet in the Pacific, needed to be sure. Rochefort’s team, along with Capt. Edwin Layton, Nimitz’s fleet intelligence officer, had a clue that “AF” might be Midway, so a ruse was developed. The radio operator at Midway was instructed to broadcast in the clear a message that the installation’s fresh water distillation plant had broken down and that fresh water was needed at once.

Soon after, monitored Japanese radio traffic passed along a message, “AF is short of water.”

With the enemy intentions in hand, Nimitz drew up his own plan of attack.

Three American aircraft carriers, USS Enterprise (CV 6), USS Yorktown (CV 5) and USS Hornet (CV 8) faced four large Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) carriers – Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu and Soryu at Midway. Accompanying the IJN carriers were no less than seven Japanese battleships; the Americans had none at Midway. And supporting the powerful IJN fleet were about 150 supporting ships of various kinds; the United States had about 50.

The date of the intended offensive was known –

Gosling Games Color Me ‘Shells’

June 3. Though American naval forces were far less numerous than the opposing force, Nimitz was able to position his strength to his best advantage. Patrols made contact and on June 4, in the space of a few history-changing minutes, three Japanese carriers were hit and left ablaze by American dive bombers.

Later that day the fourth Japanese carrier was located, hit and later sunk.

Though Yorktown was lost – bombed, then torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine – the damage to the Japanese fleet was thorough. Four of the six Japanese carriers which had attacked Pearl

Harbor were lost, along with a cruiser, 256 aircraft and 3,057 personnel.

American losses in addition to Yorktown were one destroyer, 145 aircraft and 307 personnel.

The battle was won due to a combination of factors in which courage, skill, fortune and timing all played a part, but the value of the naval intelligence which indicated Japanese intentions is undeniable.

The victory was a needed shot in the arm to an anxious America at war. Before the Battle of Midway, Japanese military power in the Pacific did nothing but advance.

After Midway, they did nothing but retreat.

Sea Cadets assist with World War II reenactment

By Carol Monroe U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps

Members of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNCC) from Pensacola joined the USS Alabama Living History Crew April 24 to recreate a World War II battle scene that entertained hundreds of tourists visiting Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Ala. Three Sailors from Information Warfare Training Command at NASP Corry Station, IT1 Justin Sullivan, IT1 James Mcguigan and CTT3 Daniel Hedler, were also on hand as volunteers to safely guide the Sea Cadets through the reenactment.

The Sea Cadets and Sailors participated in the reenactment by first dressing up in uniforms reminiscent of the era. They

were then set about the ship completing various tasks to give visitors a visual of life aboard the ship.

A few hours after the cadets were sworn in to fight for the USS Alabama against any adversaries, the ship was under attack from two “enemy” aircraft.

The crew swiftly manned their general quarters stations and prepared to defend the ship. During the reenactment exercise, two planes attacked the Starboard side of the ship, and the crew returned fire. The cadets assigned to the damage control teams manned hoses to put out two simulated fires from the attack and carried gurneys and provided first aid as medics for injured Sailors. They also manned and reloaded the guns that shot blanks at the planes passing overhead. Partici-

pating in the reenactment allowed the cadets to better understood what Sailors had to go through to defend a battleship during World War II. The Sea Cadets is a program for young men and women in a drug- and gang-free environment that promotes teamwork, responsibility, respect and leadership skills. Graduates of the Sea Cadets frequently choose a career serving in the Armed Forces, but this is not a requirement to join. The skills learned in this program are useful in any life path the youth chooses. If a cadet does choose the Armed Services they frequently will have earned early advancement in the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard (E-3 after boot camp).

Month of giving results in $17,409 for NMCRS Story, photo from Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Pensacola

A $17,409 check was presented to Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Pensacola April 20. From left are Jersey Mike’s franchise owners Shell and Carol Lawhorn, NMCRS RSA Amanda Shadden, NMCRS Director Mark Harden and Jersey Mike’s franchise owner Brooks O’Hara.

During the month of March, customers at Jersey Mike’s Subs were invited to make charity donations.

This year, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Pensacola was the designated charity partner at five local stores (Nine Mile, Navy Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, Navarre and Pace) and one from Mobile, Ala. NMCRS Pensacola Director Mark Harden said he was pleased to hear that NMCRS Pensacola was chosen.

“Two local owners, Shell and Carol Lawhorn

contacted us and made the arrangements. I was blown away when Shell called with the final amount of $17,409,” he said. “This money will go a long way to helping Sailors, Marines and their families when they are in need.”

The effort was part of the seventh annual “Month of Giving” conducted by Jersey Mike’s Subs. Officials announced that a record amount of $5.5 million was collected nationwide during the campaign.

Much of that total, $4.6 million, came in on the March 29 Day of Giving, when more than 1,200 Jersey Mike’s restaurants pledged to donate 100 percent of sales, not just profits, to nearly 150 different charities across the nation.

NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation The NASP Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) department has a number of upcoming events and activities. For more information, call 452-3806, ext. 3100, or go to the MWR website at www.navymwrpensacola.com.

The Centennial Imports Fiesta Boat Parade will take place tomorrow, June 3.

Story, photo from Fiesta of Five Flags Association

The 68th annual Fiesta of Five Flags celebration officially started May 31 with the surrender of the city to the Fiesta forces.

In the late 1940s, a group of community leaders began to develop the idea of an annual summer festival to promote tourism in the Pensacola area.

That idea developed into the Fiesta of Five Flags celebration.

The Fiesta of Five Flags organization was formed to celebrate the founding of Pensacola. In 1559, Spanish conquistador Don Tristan de Luna established Pensacola as the first European settlement in

the United States. Since that time, five different flags have flown over the city: Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American.

With the help of many volunteers, the Fiesta organization plans and produces more than 20 events throughout the year.

Here is a schedule of upcoming Fiesta events: • Pen Air Grand Fiesta Parade: 7 p.m. today, June 2, in downtown Pensacola.

• Fiesta Prayer Service, 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, June 3, at Old Christ Church.

• Centennial Imports Fiesta Boat Parade, tomorrow, June 3. Boats are scheduled to set sail from the Pensacola Yacht Club at 1 p.m. The parade of vessels will make its

way to Quietwater Boardwalk on Pensacola Beach for the DeLuna Landing Ceremony, a lighthearted reenactment of what might have happened when DeLuna landed in 1559.

• Shelley LeCroy Memorial Tennis Tournament: 5:30 p.m. June 7 at Pensacola Country Club.

• Fiesta All Krewe Ball, 7 p.m. June 8, at the Hadji Shrine Temple. This event is by invitation only.

• DeLuna Coronation Ball, 7 p.m. June 9 Don Tristan DeLuna, Pensacola’s first citizen, is remembered each year during the Fiesta of Five Flags celebration.
