Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

As we celebrate this holiday season with friends and family, it’s important to take the time

to reflect on the many accomplishments our men and women in uniform have achieved during the year. This “Year in Review” edition of The Globe is a journalistic tribute to all service members, past and present, and their

many milestones achieved throughout 2013, which saw its share of challenges and highlights.

From the arrival of a new base commanding general, multiple combat deployments, shutdowns, sequestration effects, to the

30th anniversary of the Beirut bombing, this year has been an eventful one.

Through it all, Camp Lejeune continued its critical mission of providing world class training facilities and support to Marines, sailors, and their families.

This edition of The Globe is a collection of articles written by combat correspondents throughout the world and our staff here at home. It’s a chance for us all to look back at 2013 and pay tribute to those who serve. It’s also an occasion

to remember our Marines and sailors who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.

From The Globe staff, we would like to express our gratitude for all your support throughout the year and look forward to 2014.

Marine from Ghana teaches leadership to Ghanaian sailors Cpl. Timothy Norris

Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa

Gunnery Sgt. Richard Koffi Gyabin, Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa 13 administrative chief, was born and raised in Ghana.

“When I was 19, we had the privilege to integrate into the culture in the U.S.,” he said.

The family settled in Chicago where Gyabin attended the University of Illinois. During his time there, he met a friend’s father who was a major in the Marine Corps.

“They had a long history of military service in the Marine Corps,” he said.

“I would go to his house and see all his accolades, uniform and pride.”

His experience with the major led Gyabin to enlist in the Marine Corps Reserve in 1997.

“Initially, it was all about money for college,” he said. “When I got to boot camp I quickly figured out it’s not all about money what makes you whole. It makes your personality come together. The camaraderie, espirit de corps and history- it made me a better person and gave me a great perspective on life. I

wouldn’t have done it any other way.”

While continuing to ascend in rank in the Marine Corps, he completed an economics degree and entered the civilian work force.

Over the next 15 years, Gyabin deployed to Iraq, Kuwait and the Pacific with a Marine expeditionary unit.

Each deployment Gyabin served within his administration clerk occupational specialty and eventually as an administrative chief.

Serving with SP-MAGTF Africa was no different, until he was afforded the opportunity to return to Ghana and teach Ghana navy noncommissioned officers the principles of

small-unit leadership. He was chosen for the mission because of his experience as a gunnery sergeant and his knowledge of the country’s culture.

The first training day in Ghana revealed how unique the experience would be.

“When I introduced myself they were surprised and shocked,” he said. “Seeing me come back made them more receptive. To see someone who understands where they are coming from, I was able to connect with them.” see Ghanaian 5A

Marine Corps Installations East welcomes new commanding general Lance Cpl. Justin A. Rodriguez

rig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune relinquished his position to Brig. Gen. Robert. F. Castellvi in front of family and friends at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 12.

Among the attendees,

fellow Marines shared their thoughts on Gorry.

“Thousands of Marines and civilians on base are going to remember and miss him for the good he’s done,” said Maj. Gen. Juan Ayala, commander of Marine Corps Installations Command. “With responsibilities commanding in five different states, he worked to create growth on Lejeune with a diminishing economy.”

Gorry, who has been the commanding general for MCIEAST since July 22,

2011, came into his position after serving as the director for Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University aboard MCB Quantico. Gorry also spent four years at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as a series commander, company commander and battalion logistics officer.

Gorry holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina.

“Thank you for allowing me to be here and supporting my efforts,” said

Brig. Gen. Robert. F. Castellvi

Gorry. “A great relationship between the base and town can’t happen overnight, but the Marines, their families

and local government have done everything they can to help me. I’m looking forward to continuing on in the Fleet Marine Force and see great things come from Camp Lejeune.”

Castellvi, who comes into the position as commander of MCIEAST, holds a degree in finance from the University of Illinois, with a Marine Corps career that began in 1984 as an infantry officer with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines.

Castellvi comes to Camp Lejeune from 1st Marine

Expeditionary Force where he served as the chief of staff.

“I’m anxious to get out and meet each and every one of you,” said Castellvi.

“I’m proud to be a part of this all. I pinched myself this morning to make sure none of this is a dream. I want to continue the legacy on Lejeune. I will dedicate every day to support the Marines and sailors on Camp Lejeune. This is your Marine Corps. The Corps belongs to the people, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Patriot Day

Community honors victims, fallen with solemn ceremony Amy Binkley

Special to The Globe

For a brief moment, silence enveloped the city that never sleeps.

It was fleeting, but in the deafening lull, the nation, its citizens and an entire generation were changed forever.

Hundreds of Onslow County residents, law enforcement and government representatives and service members from surrounding military installations gathered for the Patriot Day observance hosted by the Onslow Civic Affairs Committee at the Lejeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville, N.C., Sept. 11.

Twelve years ago, 19 terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger airliners and set their courses of destruction.

An unknowing and unsuspecting public watched as the planes crashed into the World Trade Center buildings in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a field in rural Pennsylvania after passengers overtook their enemy.

Before the country could shake itself from the shock, 2,974 people were dead.

“In a word, it was surreal,” said military police officer Carl Urbina, a former New York Police Department officer and a first responder to the scene.

“The magnitude of the damage and carnage was unbelievable.”

Urbina explained how the ceremonies help people to remember the victims and revives the human spirit.

“I’ll never forget how strong our country was and how as human beings we always look out for each other,” he stated. “We always want to remember this.”

The surprise attack left America badly wounded, and although the bleeding has since stopped, the deep scars cannot be ignored.

“Just a few hundred yards away stands the Beirut Memorial, which many agree was the opening salvo of a series of events of terrorism that continue today,” noted Dr. Don Herring, OCAC chairman, as he addressed the crowd.

“Today, we’re not here to debate politics or history.

We’re here to remember.”

The melodies played by the 2nd Marine Division Band from Marine Corps

Base Camp Lejeune set the solemn tone for the observance while presenters gathered around the 9/11 Memorial, a steel beam that was once part of the World Trade Center structure.

The beam was one of the first donated as a memorial and was presented to the Marines and sailors July 4, 2003. Military personnel were ready and willing to answer the call to action after the attacks, and the monument stands as a witness to the community’s resolve after being catapulted into more than a decade of fighting.

Tableaus bearing the images of victims from each targeted location, as well as service members who were killed in action during Operation Enduring Freedom, were held up while their personal stories were told.

A moment of silence was called for at the moment the planes hit the towers. A hush fell across the audience broken only by the blaring of sirens from firetrucks and other emergency response vehicles as they remembered the day etched permanently in their memories.

“It took less than an eighth of a second for the plane to travel 310 feet into four rings of the Pentagon and unleash a fireball 200 feet above the building,” he said. “I remember how hot the inferno burned, the smells of the jet fuel and the sound of the walls falling 33 minutes later.”

Although the loss of life

was tragic, it could have been much worse. Two thousand workers were scheduled to move into the area of the building that was hit just two days later.

Capt. Jeff Williams with the Jacksonville Fire Department lost many close friends that day and could not hold back his tears as he lead the group in a prayer in memory of all the first responders. As the ceremony concluded, all those in attendance from high school students to vet-

erans, joined in the chorus of “God Bless America.”

While the nation was unable to understand the meaning of the attacks and continues to struggle to find the purpose in such devastation, twelve years later its citizens have not been overcome by grief but rather celebrate their common bond as Americans.

“I see how strong we’ve become, the lessons we’ve learned and I’m proud of who we are,” Jamison said.

Purple Heart Memorial unveiled at Wounded Warrior Battalion-East barracks Cpl. Charlie Clark

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

With peace talks beginning after the Revolutionary War, the brave American rebels who defeated the British were not recognized for their sacrifices.

George Washington ordered the Badge of Military Merit, the original Purple Heart Medal, Aug. 7, 1782.

The tradition of honoring those who were wounded in the line of duty still remains strong as more than 100 Marines, sailors along with their friends and families attended the Purple Heart Memorial unveiling at the Wounded Warrior Battalion-East barracks aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 11.

“This will be here as a constant reminder to our Marines who wear the Purple Heart,” said Lt. Col. Leland W. Suttee, Battalion-East commanding officer. “I don’t wear a Purple Heart, so I’ll never understand what the Marines who wear that sacred Medal have gone through.

It is a tremendous sacrifice they have given for our country.”

Beirut Memorial Chapter 642 Military Order of the Purple Heart donated the memorial to the battalion.

“This means a great deal to me and all those in my chapter,” said Grant Beck, Chapter 642 commander. “We have received the Purple Heart and understand the heartache the young men and women

Retired Lt. Col. Tim Maxwell, a Purple Heart recipient and a leading force in the formation of the Wounded Warrior Regiment, was the guest speaker for the ceremony.

In 2004, Maxwell sustained a traumatic brain injury during a mortar attack in Iraq. He awoke a

month later in Bethesda Naval Medical Center.

Maxwell saw how Marines were able to lean on each other through the rehabilitation process in the hospital.

“Being together and being a team makes them much stronger,” Maxwell said. “My hope today is the Marines know their life isn’t over, and

they can improve, make changes and keep moving forward.”

Through Maxwell’s leadership, Maxwell Hall was built as the first East Coast barracks for wounded Marines which was the forerunner to the Wounded Warrior Regiment.

Base officials, including Brig. Gen. Robert F. Castellvi, Marine Corps Base

Camp Lejeune commanding general, attended the ceremony.

The memorial reads “My stone is red for the blood they shed. The medal I bear is my country’s way to show they care.

If I could be seen by all mankind maybe peace will come in my lifetime.”

The Purple Heart Medal is the oldest medal

still awarded in the U.S. military.

The medal is unique because service members are not recommended for it, but are entitled to receive the award if they have met the criteria.

Service members, veterans and the local community gathered to pay tribute to the 241 service members who lost their lives in the Beirut bombing, Oct. 23, 1983. The ceremony was held at the Lejeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville, N.C., Oct. 23.

undreds of veterans, militar y personnel and members of the community gathered to commemorate the anniversary of the Beirut barracks bombing during the Beirut Memorial Observance Ceremony hosted by the City of Jacksonville in cooperation with Marine Corps Installations East, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the Beirut Memorial Advisory Board at the Lejeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville, N.C., Oct. 23.

“We honor those who lost their lives in the name of peace,” said Abe Rosen, chairman of the Beirut Memorial Advisory Board. “Oct. 23, 1983, holds a special place in

our community’s history and the history of the Marine Corps.”

Silence fell over the solemn crowd as Rosen called for a moment of quiet remembrance.

Though the tragedy shook the nation, it brought together the people of Onslow County and the service members of Camp Lejeune.

“I’m honored to renew the pledge that we as a city will never forget that day,” said Sammy Phillips, mayor of the City of Jacksonville. “We mourned the loss of life, grieved with the families and mourned together as one community, both civilian and military.

We have and continue to offer our compassion, prayers and thoughts to the families of those who lost loved ones.”

Phillips announced the trees first planted along Lejeune Boulevard are

in memory of the service members who died in Beirut and will continue to live on in the new Beirut Memorial Grove.

Brig. Gen. Robert F. Castellvi, Camp Lejeune commanding general, noted the tragedy became the bedrock between the military and the community that has continued to grow stronger each year.

“Together we grieve over tragic losses and continue to carry the torch of remembrance,” he remarked. “Oct. 23 is etched in our memories.

There are hundreds of stories for every Marine, sailor and soldier that were lost that day. Thirty years later, we still grieve over the events, but as a community we are more unified than ever before.”

Retired Col. Tim Geraghty, commanding officer of the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit in Beirut, was welcomed to the

stage with resounding applause from the crowd.

“Today we gather to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice,” said Geraghty. “It will be some time before the last chapter of this story is written. I recall the heartfelt support the city of Jacksonville provided without hesitation. A special bond was established and is more vibrant than ever.”

The 2nd Marine Division Band followed Geraghty’s address with the original score, “Freedom’s Holy Breath,” written by retired Chief Warrant Officer 2 Forest Brown specifically for the observance.

Gen. James F. Amos, 35th commandant of the Marine Corps, stood before the hundreds of guests to acknowledge the families of the fallen service members and the importance of honoring the 30th anniversary of the

events in Beirut.

“I have no expectations that this morning’s remembrance is any less painful in 2013 than it was in 1983,” he said. “This is a heavyhearted day for the nation and its corps of Marines.”

He explained the history and events leading up to the attacks and the fight against terrorism that continues today.

“On a morning much like today, terror struck,” Amos said. “Two hundred and forty-one Marines, sailors and soldiers volunteered to make a difference and serve their country. We honor each of them.”

He noted how the world we live in changed forever the morning of Oct. 23, 1983.

“Across the globe, when extremists tested our resolve as a nation, the men who fell thirty years ago would be proud to know we’ve never backed down, and we never will,” Amos said. “The character and

courage of the Marines has never wavered. They are as ready as ever to answer the clarion’s call.”

Finally, retired Gen. Alfred M. Gray Jr., 29th commandant of the Marine Corps, took the stage to speak to the crowd, much like he did three decades ago when he made the announcement of what happened in Beirut.

“The warriors did not die in vain, and we must remember that,” he said.

“The legacy lives on.”

Amos and Gray joined military and civilian leaders in a wreath laying ceremony in front of the memorial while the 8th Marine Regiment fired the rifle salute.

As the lone bugler played the final farewell for the fallen service members, those in attendance vowed to continue forward with the mission to always remember the sacrifice of the men who came in peace.

Marines celebrate 238 years with Joint Daytime Ceremony Lance Cpl. Joshua W. Grant Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune celebrated the 238th Marine Corps birthday with the time honored tradition of the Joint Daytime Ceremony at Liversedge Field aboard base, Nov. 6.

The Joint Daytime Ceremony honored Marines from past and present wars, but also pays tribute to the combined service cooperation aboard the base.

“As the son of a former Marine and a former Marine myself, the Joint Daytime Ceremony provides us all a great time to pause and reflect on the proud history of the Marine Corps,” said John Sollis, director of Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Community Services.

“It reminds us of the obligations we swore to uphold.”

Marines know there are expectations because they signed up to be a part of something higher, and the ceremony exemplifies what the expectations are, Sollis added.

After each unit present was recognized, pageant Marines marched out onto the field donned in authentic uniforms from each era, to symbolize every major conflict since 1775.

Following the pageant, Brig. Gen. Robert F. Castellvi, commanding general of Camp Lejeune, presented the first piece of cake to Master Gunnery Sgt. Jerry Morris, battalion maintenance chief with 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, during a traditional cake cutting ceremony.

Morris was born in 1960.

Morris then presented a piece to the youngest Marine in attendance, Pfc. Austin J. Hawk, a student with Marine Corps Engineer School. Hawk was born in 1996.

The passing of the birthday cake from the oldest to youngest Marine signifies the passing of traditions and

knowledge from one generation to the next.

The ceremony concluded with the playing of Taps and the Marines marching off the field.

“The ceremony is the one time of each year the Marines can take stock in their legacy and reaffirm their commitment to carry on the legacy spelled out,” said Castellvi.

“For me, the special part of today was the playing of Taps. It honors the Marines who have come before us and paid the ultimate price, but we are here to carry on their legacy.”

Castellvi added it’s important for the Marines to learn they can’t know where they’re going, until they realize where the Marine Corps has come from.

Ghanaian from 1A The five-day course included discussions of leadership mentality, leadership styles, how to mentor subordinates, dynamic physical training and teamwork.

“It was a short curriculum, but we gave them the best tools and techniques,” he said. “We went out there to give them what they needed.”

“My favorite part is twofold: going back as a gunnery sergeant to teach on official duty and also the opportunity to see my family,” he said.

Gyabin has deployed as many times as he has returned to Ghana, only four.

The trip to Ghana provided a rare opportunity for him

to visit extended family, including his 86 year-old grandmother.

He contacted her after arriving in country and once the leadership course was completed, he visited his grandmother on a Saturday evening.

“It was a good visit,” he said. “To be able to visit her as a Marine giving back to society.”

“We had some conversation,” he said with a grin.

“When we talked it felt like we bonded again.”

Gyabin said the rare opportunity to assist his native country and the brief but joyous reunion with his grandmother made the entire trip worthwhile.

“You can’t always fish for someone, you have to teach them how so they can survive. As a native, giving back to Ghana and to the society as a whole personally was gratifying and a great accomplishment for me. It’s priceless.”

Combat engineer becomes first female gunny Cpl. Paul Peterson 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Raised rough and tumble, Gunnery Sgt. Robin Baker came from an extended family dominated by males.

“I grew up running around and playing in the dirt like Indiana Jones,” said Baker.

“It was a lot of exploring, running around and sports. I definitely wasn’t afraid to get dirty. That’s for sure.”

It was a humble enough proving ground for the woman who would become a pioneer in one of the Marine Corps’ most male-dominated specialties.

Baker, a combat engineer with Combat Logistics Regiment 2, Regional Command (Southwest), pinned on the rank of gunnery sergeant this month, midway through her deployment to Helmand province, Afghanistan. She is the first female combat engineer to own the cherished Marine rank and title “Gunny.”

A brazen, unabashed advocate for the merits of simple hard work and reputation, Baker more or less stumbled upon the Marine Corps after dabbling with college.

“I was bored,” she laughed, recounting how she ended up in the recruiter’s office. “He showed me the recruiting video of the explosions. I was like, “I want to do that job right there.

Luckily, I got it.”

Baker entered the Marine Corps in November 2000.

She spent her holiday season with other recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., where her 13year career began.

After recruit training, Baker completed her specialty training as a combat engineer and reported to her first unit at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif.

“Being in our (military specialty), you’re not going to find a whole lot of females,” said Baker, whose

Baker is currently deployed as the training chief for CLR-2. first unit boasted only four other females. “It’s pretty physical, and I was doing everything the guys would do.

There was no special treatment whatsoever.”

Baker fell under an uncompromising microscope from the beginning. She refused to separate herself from the rigors imposed upon her male counterparts. She completed the same training, took part in the same missions and accepted the same punishments for failure.

“When the field first opened up (for females), there was a lot of, “Why are you here? You can’t hack.

You are the weakest link,” said Baker. “That drives me even more, because I’m not.

When we finish whatever it is we’re doing, and I’m not the last person, and there’s people behind me, I’m not the weakest link, “I belong here.”

She found no easy paths or simple shortcuts. She didn’t even bother to look.

Instead, Baker said she embraced the physically demanding work and recognized it as an opportunity to prove herself and advance.

“I was one of them,” said Baker. “It makes a difference to earn respect from a group like that. Your reputation will precede you. It doesn’t happen overnight. It certainly doesn’t happen after a month or two. But once they realize you are there to do a job and do it professionally, they will protect you with their life.”

Baker said she found a unique bond amongst her engineer peers. They relied upon each other’s resilience.

“We’re crazy,” she proudly acknowledged. “It’s being in a group of people who are your family through thick and thin and who have the same goals. Our ties are strong.”

Baker attained the rank of sergeant within her first four-year enlistment and continued to push the gen-

der expectations she faced.

She joined the Camp Pendleton shooting team and received accolades for her performance. Baker graduated first in her class for Platoon Sergeants Course and became the first female master breacher after successfully completing the Marine Corps’ Urban Breachers Course.

She embraced deployments to both Afghanistan and Iraq, where she served on specially organized Lioness Teams in 2006 and 2008.

Baker operated in direct support of Marine infantry units while facing down gender biases along the way.

“I imagine it’s the same way for males when they go someplace new,” she said.

“You have to prove yourself.

That’s the toughest thing about being a female. Even for as long as I have been in, every place I go, I still have to prove myself.”

It has been a long road, said Baker, but she made a

mark on her fellow Marines at each turn.

“Over time, the Marines who have worked with you go to other places, and people hear about you,” said Baker. “The good thing about my name is when people talk about me, it’s not a bad thing.”

Baker accepted no excuses from her fellow Marines and expected nothing less in return. She lived by a “If I can do it, why can’t you,” attitude, and actively found ways to stand out amidst her male counterparts.

She eventually took her hard-earned experiences to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, where she became one of only two female Marines to ever teach at the combat engineer school.

Baker spent more than three years mentoring hundreds of young service members passing through the course.

“I started right where you are,” said Baker, recounting her conversations with

students. “Your reputation is everything.” Once you tarnish your reputation, it’s hard to get it back.”

To be sure, Baker never lost her passion for explosions. The same excitement that drew her into the Marine Corps as a young recruit simply grew.

“I like blowing stuff up,” she admitted. “I get a rush out of the shock wave. But I would have to say after all my years being a combat engineer, the best part is being able to see the fruits of my labor. It’s that instant gratification.”

Baker is currently the only female out of nearly 160 gunnery sergeants within her specialty. She already has her eyes on the next step up.

“I like to be one of the first, or one of the few,” said Baker. “I’ve been told the majority of my career, “You can’t do this. Why are you here? I just like to prove them wrong.”

Lt. Col. Joseph Delaney, the commanding officer of 8th Comm. Bn., said the battalion has a long history, and he is proud to be a part of it, as well as being part of updating the linage of the battalion.

Marines from the battalion presented the streamers to Delaney to pin them on the guidon.

Staff Sgt. Richard Taylor, radio chief who has served six years the battalion, presented Delaney with the Meritorious Unit Commendation streamer.

“Of all the field operations I’ve participated in with this unit, these Marines have never failed,” said Taylor. “The Marines in this battalion know their job and do it well. I’m proud to have been a part of this battalion.”

After the streamers were pinned, individual awards were given to several Marines. Cpl. Austin W. Leake received a Purple Heart for wounds received on Nov. 16, 2012 in Afghanistan. 1st Sgt. Brenda R. Chrismer, Company C first sergeant with 8th Comm. Bn., earned the Meritorious Service Medal for her outstanding performance during March 2011 to May 2013.

rave warriors pushed through the pain and made it through the mud April 27 at Stone Bay during the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command Mud, Sweat and Tears Run. The run consisted of a five-mile trek through the woods and muddy terrain of Stone Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

As the participants started piling into the parking lot in front of the MARSOC headquarters building at Stone Bay, the excitement built up and the runners couldn’t wait to begin. The discussions between athletes were centered around the

training involved and preparation done prior to the event. The runners described their training as leg intensive with a lot of strength exercises, as well as running on unpaved paths and uneven ground.

The runners began their journey down a path through a wooded area and many pushed through the crowds to get a head start. The competitive nature of some participants was unparralled as they fought for a spot in the front.

The runner’s exhaustion at the finish line was ample proof of the course’s intensity. Participants were challenged with a trail marked by forest terrain, dirt paths, winding trails and fallen tree obstacles.

Although there was a large number of intense competitors out for a win at the finish line and fighting their way through the sea of people, there were also some who signed up to have a good time with friends.

Local resident Danielle Jungmann and Cpl. James Anderson had fun trampling through the mud puddles and seeing which one of them could get the other as dirty as possible.

“It was pretty fun for us because every mud puddle we passed I decided to repeatedly attempt to tackle him. From there on out it was just one mud fight after the other,” said Jungmann Inspired by the challenging yet enjoyable MARSOC run, Jung-

mann and Anderson plan to compete in two similar runs later this year.

She wasn’t the only one inspired by her achievements. At the finish line, the runners felt exhaustion and aches, but also a sense of pride.

“It feels good to know I have accomplished something so athletically driven. I just started running, so I never thought I’d be doing something like this, but I definitely want to continue training and the events aboard base,” said an exhausted runner after crossing the finish line.

Camp Lejeune, Jacksonville run Chantel Green

Special to The Globe

O

n May 18, the community of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Jacksonville, N.C., along with people from every corner of the country came together at Jacksonville High School to support Hope for the Warriors’ annual Run for the Warriors.

The support for wounded service members was evident in the immense crowd of people, humbled by the sacrifices of service members.

The Hope for the Warriors organization strives to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty. They dedicate their energy to restoring a sense of self, the family unit, and hope for service members and military families.

The annual Run for the Warriors raises awareness and funds for the organization, and its participants include people from all walks of life.

Service members participated in the run, wounded warriors and disabled citizens competed in the hand cycling event, military wives and children joined in the race, and the event included many with no military affiliation at all.

The mission of Hope for the Warriors reaches far beyond the military community, touching the hearts of many and moving people to become involved.

A Marine beating the odds.

The doctors said he may never walk again.

May 18 marked a monumental moment in his defeat of a doctor’s diagnosis as he crossed the finish line of the half marathon in the annual Run for the Warriors.

In 2006, Staff Sgt. Ryan Anderson returned home from Afghanistan to face the damage done during his deployment. Anderson suffered through sequential explosions while in Afghanistan, resulting in Traumatic Brain Injury.

“I was blown up a total of seven times. I had to relearn how to talk and relearn how to walk,”

for wounded warriors said Anderson.

The man who left for Afghanistan just a few months before, returned home with unimaginable challenges while facing the stigma attached to TBI. Anderson struggled not only with losing the use of his legs, but also with memory and speech problems. At a time when discouragement and grief may cripple others, he approached the challenge with full force.

“After hearing I may never walk again, I was driven to prove I could beat the doctor’s diagnosis. I’m hard headed, so it gave me more drive to return to the best I could be,” said Anderson.

Although his strength continued to build, for four years, Anderson remained unable to use his legs until pushed by Hope for the Warriors to try something new.

Giving up never crossed his mind and in 2010 he began to rehabilitate his body through hand cycling, a sport which uses solely upper body strength. During rehabilitation, he regained the use of his legs resulting in an increasing sense of hope.

As Anderson talked about his recovery, he proudly discussed his part in the Run for the Warriors, “When I regained use of my legs, I began cycling on two wheels using my lower body strength again and on Saturday I will be running the half marathon in the annual Run for the Warriors.”

Anderson admitted the members of Hope for the Warriors fueled his motivation for recovery, and without their support he may not have regained all his strength.

Hope for the Warriors supports wounded service members, but their mission’s far reach moves others to get involved. A parapalegic driven to serve wounded warriors A parapalegic driven to serve wounded warriors Hope for the Warriors member Paul Kelly became particularly close to Anderson over the years, and mentored him throughout his recovery. see triumph 6b

une 3 was seemingly another sunny afternoon aboard Marine Corps Base Lejeune, but its significance proved monumental at the Fisher House, where two Wounded Warriors opened their hearts in an interview, discussing the true significance of the Warrior Games, an event created for wounded service members in hopes of helping with their rehabilitation process.

Cpl. Michael Politowicz and Sgt. Rachel Brokaw competed for the Marines in the 2013 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo., May 11 through 16.

As an alternate, Politowicz became a Marine team member by default, but he was thankful for the experience. The games marked the end of his tenure in Wounded Warrior Battalion as he joined MARSOC Wednesday.

Along with cycling, Politowicz threw the discus and shot put in the games, earning a bronze medal in the latter.

Pushed by a civilian staff member who saw Brokaw’s impressive swimming ability, the wounded warrior’s jour-

ney to the games differed from Politowicz.

Although she competed in the shotput and discus throws, the 100, 200 and 1500-meter dashes, 50-meter freestyle and backstroke events, she knew upon arrival the 2013 games was not about the competition.

“I didn’t care if I won or lost. It’s all about pushing that very last person trying their hardest to reach the finish line,” said Brokaw.

In the midst of a lengthy discussion with the two heroes, the interview took a turn into a direction far different than originally proposed or expected.

As the Marines talked about the Warrior Games, they didn’t boast about the Marine Corps victory over the other branches of the Armed Forces or indulge in their personal victories, but rather dug deep into their hearts to divulge details of personal struggles and triumph.

It seemed the Warrior Games was not about winning at all, but about the strength to carry on.

When the question arose of the injuries which put them in the Wounded Warrior Battalion, both Marines paused to reflect an impossibly difficult time in their lives. see warriors 7A

Morgan Bay Fitness Center trains fourteen in CFT preparatory class Lance cpl. justin a. rodriguez Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Combat Fitness Test season is in full swing, and Marines aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune are preparing themselves with the High Intensity Tactical Training Gym’s CFT Total Athletic Conditioning training at the Morgan Bay Fitness Center aboard base, July 9.

The class consists of four high intensity exercises spanning four minutes and twenty seconds,with a 10-second rest. Fourteen participants used the class to not only prepare themselves for the CFT, but also as good workout.

The class participants take it seriously, said Sgt.

Billy Farris, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force G-4 motor transportation unit.

“I’ve been coming to the class for about two years on and off,” said Farris after wiping his forehead of sweat.

The class was created in 2010 based on all CFT preparatory training exercises, using kettle-bells, tires, H.I.T.T. equipment, and fast paced cardio.

“We had patrons who wanted to group these exercises together and make a class for the CFT,” said Becky Haga, one of the instructors for the class.

“We pulled all the biometric exercises and put them into a class, and it’s grown since then.”

Staying faithful to the class and H.I.T.T gym,

Haga lost 97-pounds and later became an instructor for the class. Now, she teaches at the Morgan Bay Fitness Center and the Area 2 pool.

Marine Corps Community Services offers more than 25 fitness courses aboard base.

Striving to keep a fit Marine Corps, this class is a step in the right direction, said Haga.

Classes are offered to service members, families, retirees, and civilian employees aboard base from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Tuesdays and Thursdays at Morgan Bay Fitness Center aboard base.

recovering, you don’t want to be in the way or he will run over you like a bulldozer. That’s what I admire about him,� said Kelly.

Kelly’s story differs greatly from Anderson’s military related injury. He was not a member of any service branch and did not serve in any war, but humbly appreciates the sacrifices of service members – so much so he now devotes his time to their recovery. “Most service

members who return from war injured possess the motivation and drive to recover, and all they need is a means to do so,� said Anderson.

Kelly suffered a spinal cord injury in 1978 and lived without the use of his legs for the past 35 years. He reflects on those years with wisdom of obstacles and challenges a disability present and knows his experiences help wounded warriors in their healing and recovery process.

His involvement in Hope for the Warriors spurred from hand cycling in the Marine Corps Marathon and realizing the value of his knowledge and experience to injured service members.

Kelly said the great thing about Hope for the Warriors is their ability to connect wounded warriors with people who have suffered debilitating injuries. He explained in dealing with an injury, service members face adjusting to a dif-

ferent way of life, and Hope for the Warriors bridges the gap with disabled mentors who know the shortcuts to the new way of life.

Kelly hand cycled in the Run for the Warriors May 18, and the annual event remains close to his heart after many years of participation. He believes in the importance of awareness and involvement, and wants injured warriors to return home to a community grateful for their sacrifices.

It was a 105-milimeter artillery shell, and I was a meter away when it went off,” explained Politowicz.

He landed on his head and neck, three meters away from the explosion with shrapnel embedded in his arm.

He woke up to find himself in an allAfghani hospital ward, his initial reaction was believing he’d been taken as a prisoner of war.

Brokaw hesistated as she cleared her throat to speak of the late 2006 deployment to Iraq, which forever changed her life. However, with tear-filled eyes, it became clear the experience was still too painful to discuss.

The humble hearts of these warriors shined throughout the afternoon, both making it very clear the competition and athletics of the Warrior Games held little importance in comparison to the emotional rewards.

Brokaw and Politowicz continued discussing their challenges as wounded warriors, specifically the deep-seeded feeling of not belonging. That feeling only adds to the significance of Warrior Games – they aren’t alone.

The Marines continued elaborating on the emotional damages behind their injuries. Warrior Games provided an outlet, a channel for recuperation and created unforgettable memories. Notably, the two warriors met only a few days before the games, but their connection was undeniable. Politowicz put his arm around Brokaw as she leaned on his

shoulder and tried to hold back her tears.

Their connection is one many Marines feel, but Politowicz explained the ties to fellow Marines outside of the Wounded Warrior Battalion is often lost after they return home with injuries.

Perhaps the most alarming aspect of the discussion arose when the two Marines talked about the blind treatment from their brothers and sisters-in-arms.

“Sometimes you’re looked at as if you don’t rate,” said Brokaw.

Politowicz added to the disappointment when he talked about becoming out of shape due to injuries, stating other Marines tend to look at him differently, as if he isn’t working hard. He proved any doubters wrong by giving all he had in May at the 2013 Warrior Games.

Throughout the afternoon, the conversation never turned to their wins or losses as expected, it seemed these Marines’ outlook differed from many of their peers. Their words revolved around the true meaning of the games, and the inspiration drawn from the event. Their recollection of a triple amputee competiting at Warrior Games conjured their strong stance on refusing to succomb to self pity.

Each Marine took time to say they consider themselves lucky, and both took a moment to pause in remembrance of their fallen friends.

As the afternoon came to its end, the Marines final remarks were simple – they don’t need sympathy. After all, they are warriors and remain capable of greatness.

s the year 2013 winds down, we would like to spotlight a few of the many commemorative festivals, parades and fundraisers that brought civilian and military communities together.

This special edition of The Globe is a chance for us to remember all the accomplishments we have achieved as a community. With organizations like Marine Corps Community Services and the Single Marine Program, Marines and civilians have worked year round to bring family friendly events to the area. For many local organizations, it is not just about providing entertainment, it’s an opportunity to donate proceeds to numerous charities.

In April, families strolled along the Northside High School track linked together arm in arm, in an effort to raise money and support the fight against cancer, during the Relay for Life event.

Country music star Chris Cagle visited Jacksonville in July, and teamed up with members of the community to support a unique fundraiser concert which raised $25,000 for the Camp Lejeune Fisher House through ticket sales and donations.

Local leaders came together to twirl, move and dance across a stage to give back to the community. They achieved great success with the Onslow Women’s Center event Dancing Stars of Jacksonville, which raised more than $70,000 to help the fight against domestic violence.

Along with fundraisers, Marines and civilians have gotten involved in events that have become a part of what builds the community with events like the Veterans Day Parade, which celebrated its 18th consecutive year honoring those who have served and continue to serve. Additionally, MCCS has hosted Maynia, a spring carnival which has brought fun and entertainment to the community for more than 20 years.

Carolina Living will continue to highlight these captivating and unique events that bring the communities together as we welcome in the New Year.

Amy Binkley Special to The Globe

In war, there are enemies, and there are heroes.

Battle lines are drawn, strategies planned and preparations made.

But when the mere mention of a faceless foe strikes fear to the heart, there is only one thing left to do – fight.

Linked arm-in-arm and focused with a steady gaze, more than 3,000 survivors, caregivers and supporters moved toward triumph one step at a time in the conflict against cancer during the annual Relay for Life event at Northside High School in Jacksonville, N.C., April 13.

“The fight starts here,” declared local oncologist Dr. Nagesh Jayram during the opening ceremonies. “Cancer may have picked this fight, but you’re here to finish it.”

The massive crowd stood unified, many clad in purple “Survivor” shirts, defying the dark clouds and spring showers threatening the evening’s activities.

“Cancer doesn’t stop for the weather and neither will we,” Carol Jamison, Relay for Life event chairman, promised.

Sheriff Ed Brown gave the invocation and remarked on the resounding spirit of community.“I’ve never seen anything like this event,” he said.

“The people we have in this county make it successful.”

To kick off the official start to the festivities, survivors took their place on the track and readied for their victory lap. Weathered faces told unspoken stories of struggle against the disease, but their smiles radiated a tangible hope that a cure will be found.

“The community became our family.”

When planning for this year’s Relay for Life, Jamison described the survivors’ requests to put more focus on their caregivers.

“Pin the wings on your angels,” she told the group, who happily attached specially-made accessories on to their spouses, friends and family.

The event packed a powerful punch in the fight against cancer as the 175 teams raised more than $260,000. It also served as a learning experience for the Young Marines from Camp Lejeune, New River, Jacksonville and Swansboro as they saluted each survivor who passed their way.

“Community service is a huge aspect of what we try to teach them,” said Dana Cozzins, Swansboro Young Marines unit commander. “We always ask how many of them have been personally affected by cancer. This year almost 75 percent of them have close family members or friends who’ve been diagnosed.”

Although the roar of cancer can be deafening at times, it was little more than a whisper lost in the thunder of thankfulness reverberating through the crowd, who understand more than most the precious gift of life.

“Everyone is affected by cancer,” commented Gunnery Sgt. Heather Brown, a member of the MARSOC team. “No one is immune. It’s a common ground.”

The war may not be finished, but along the way, battles against the disease are being won. Each step taken Relay for Life brings the world closer to a cure.

Generations of cancer’s victims, both old and young, joined together, marching against their shared enemy as their caregivers, friends and families cheered them on from the sidelines.

“January 7 – I’ll never forget that day,” said Irina Stocker, remembering the day her 10-year-old daughter, Bailey, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Doctors made the diagnosis after testing a lump found on Bailey’s neck, and the adolescent immediately began chemotherapy treatments.

Her father, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jeff Stocker, director of Installation Personnel Administration Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, admitted his devastation upon hearing the news.

“When you hear the term cancer, you automatically think death,” he explained. “I’ve cried more in the last three months than my entire life, but it’s brought us all so much closer. We learned so much about the strength of our family.”

Irina echoed his statements adding, “If we would have broken, she would have broken.

It’s so important to be strong and encourage (the survivors). If you have to cry behind close doors, do it. The first weeks were very difficult. But there’s so much hope.”

Bailey’s teachers from Carolina Forest Elementary School rallied around her recovery, visiting her at home to keep her up on her studies and making sure meals were provided to take some of the weight off the Stocker’s heavy burden.

“Because we’re military, our family isn’t here,” Irina noted.

My name is Big Red. I am a 9 month old, male orange and white short hair domestic cat.

My name is Chase. I am a male, white pitt bull terrier and boxer. The shelter thinks I am about 1 year and 7 months old.

Crowds come out for spring carnival Amy Binkley

Special to the Globe

all it crazy, zany or just plain wild, but never accuse Maynia of being boring.

The ferris wheel rose high beckoning more than 17,000 service members and their families to the annual spring carnival aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune May 17 through 19.

“It’s a tradition for Marine Corps families,” explained Patsy Schneider, recreation director. “It’s not only current residents who come but also people who were stationed here before who make sure to come back for Maynia weekend. They’ve grown up with it, and they come year after year.”

Deviating somewhat from years past, event planners chose to keep Maynia close to home and exclusive to service members and their guests. Though the crowd may have been slightly smaller, the excitement overflowed from both adults and children.

Shirley Weaver, the event director said, “The numbers show this year’s attendance was not far from last year’s. I feel that we put on a good show, and people know it.”

Guests didn’t shy away from having fun.

“The crowd really seemed to like the chance to participate this year,” Schneider pointed out.

Go Zumba, lead by Semper Fit Group Exercise instructors,

had more than 200 participants getting their groove on in the name of fitness for two hours, May 17.

May 18 provided beautiful weather for guests to fully enjoy the carnival rides and games, as well as the Mini-Maynia events.

With a packed line-up of local bands, the dance floor didn’t stay empty long as kids led the way with their parents and other adults not far behind.

“The Mad Science event Sunday was really popular with the kids and seemed to create a lot of smiles,” said Schneider.

A new feature at Maynia was the addition of the drum circle, a fun, educational and creative way for people to learn and connect with each other.

“We try to introduce new ideas that are off the beaten path to our community,” Schneider commented. “We like to show them things they can’t see every day.”

The spring celebration has gone strong for more than 20 years, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. As long as there’s fun to be had, Maynia will provide the excuse to let loose.

Cagle croons for Fisher House fundraiser Lance Cpl. Joshua W. Grant

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

C

heers from the crowd roared as country music star Chris Cagle stopped mid-concert to personally donate $1,000 in support of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Fisher House.

The concert, in conjunction with Marine Chevrolet Cadillac of Jacksonville and local Piggly Wiggly stores, raised money for Fisher House, July 21.

A goal of between $12,500 and $15,000 was established for the event, which was surpassed by the $25,000 raised through ticket sales and donation buckets passed throughout the concert.

A cowboy hat, signed by Cagle during the concert, was auctioned to raise even more money for the Fisher House.

“For me, not ever serving in the military bothered me a lot. I think the reason I didn’t is because I did not have any direction as a young man,” said Cagle. “Now when I get to go to forward operating bases or travel overseas to visit troops in places like Sol, Bahrain or Hawaii, it’s my way of saying thank you. If it were not for freedom, democracy and what this country stands for, I would not have been able to come from where I came from and end up where I’m at.”

All concessions at the concert were free, to encourage patrons to make donations in support of Fisher House.

Patrons also had the opportunity to participate in a 50-50 raffle which gave half the winnings to a lucky winner, and the other to Fisher House. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson

won the raffle and donated half of their winnings back to Fisher House.

“If you don’t have any money you can still eat, but everything donated goes directly to the Fisher House,” said Tommy Pittman, the produce director for Piggly Wiggly grocery stores. “We didn’t allow anyone out here that was looking to sell their products.”

Pittman stated the event originated as a small fundraiser. Through growing interest more people joined in helping Fisher House, and the concert was planned. He added because of the event’s success so far,

it’s likely going to turn into an annual event.

Fisher House’s purpose is to provide a home away from home for spouses and family members of service members receiving care at local military and Veterans Affairs medical facilities.

“I cherish all our military and Department of Defense personnel, but I am very closely tied in my heart to the Marine Corps, because of my birthday Nov. 10,” said Cagle.

Morehead City Seafood Festival nets big crowds Lance Cpl. Joshua Grant

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The 27th annual North Carolina Seafood Festival kicked off Oct. 4 in Morehead City with more than 100,000 people from across the state in attendance for the fun and local food.

Throughout the threeday event, more than 150 arts and crafts and food vendors sold local products,

including fresh seafood caught from the waters of North Carolina.

Cheryl Pigott, the marketing chairperson for the festival, said one of the major goals is to recognize the importance of the local fishing community and to raise money for local schools and non-profit organizations.

“Everyone who comes out gets to have fun, eat great local food and help the community,” said Pigott.

Amusement rides and games were available for children and wine tasting booths were enjoyed by adults. Concerts from local performers were also held.

Festival attendees watched local chefs create their favorite recipes and later battled each other’s culinary skills with the Cooking with the Chefs event.

Master Sgt. Craig Campbell, engineer equipment chief with 2nd Marine Lo-

gistics Group, attended the festival with his family and said they have been to other smaller seafood festivals and enjoyed them, so the first time at the North Carolina festival was a big hit.

“It gets us involved in the local community,” said Campbell. “It’s great for all Marines as well, because it can get them out of the barracks doing something fun and allows them to learn

what’s around them just off base.”

The culminating event for the festival was the Blessing of the Fleet ceremony bringing the local fishing community together to remember the lives of the fisherman who never returned from sea, and to also bless future voyages.

Dozens of local fishermen brought their fishing vessels to pay their respects during the wreath laying por-

tion of the ceremony.

Seaman Recruit Reginald Gardner, a hospital corpsman at Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point, said as soon as he heard about the festival, he knew he had to attend.

“I absolutely love seafood festivals, and I made sure I wasn’t going to miss this one,” said Gardner. “The great atmosphere brings the down home family feeling to the event for fun, food and family.”

Local leaders move to end domestic violence Amy Binkley

Special to The Globe

American choreographer Martha Graham once said, “Dancers are the messengers of the gods.”

The heavenly bodies spoke loudly and in rhythm to end domestic violence as hundreds of generous patrons raised more than $70,000 during the Onslow Women’s Center’s annual Dancing Stars of Jacksonville fundraiser at the American Legion Building in Jacksonville, N.C., Oct. 12.

“The statistics of domestic violence cases used to be one in four women, but now it’s one in every three who will experience it in their lifetime,” said Stephanie Edwards, vice chair of the OWC board. “It takes the whole community to fight against domestic violence.”

More than 500 guests arrived in sparkling gowns and sharp suits to watch as local stars prepared to bring their best moves to the dance floor. Nine couples, made up of community leaders, retired military officers, high school students and even a Swamp Logger, practiced for months in an effort to win the coveted trophy and title of Jacksonville’s best dancer.

“My expectations are high, and the competition is tough,” Edwards stated.

“They’ve been practicing and look amazing.”

Using their influence to articulate the importance of ending domestic violence, the dancers brushed off any intimidation they felt about dancing in front of the big crowd and kept their focus on the ultimate goal.

“The (OWC) is a wonderful organization,” remarked Yolanda Mayo, deputy operations officer for Marine Corps Community Services aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to put an end to domestic violence. Win, lose or draw, I’ve had a fabulous time.”

Mayo and her partner, Scott Hisey-Bartel, the returning champion from last year’s event, knew they had to put on a good show if they wanted to go home winners and that meant overcoming some unique obstacles.

“It was a challenging experience to get the Marine Corps out of her dancing,” admitted Hisey-Bartel.

“Her movements were very rigid and military-like at first.”

Mayo also confessed she didn’t realize how demanding the practices would be.

“Our schedules are both so crazy that finding the time to rehearse was challenging. Plus, I haven’t danced like this in years,” she said. “It was a great form of exercise. We’d leave dripping in sweat. I didn’t expect that.”

The show began with a few words from Junie Christian, executive director of OWC, reminding the crowd the purpose of see leaders 7C

honors service members past, present Sgt. Jennifer B. Poole Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

D

raped in cozy blankets and patriotic scarves, thousands of enthusiastic community members braved the chilly weather Nov. 9 morning to honor former and current service members at Jacksonville’s 18th annual Veterans Day Parade.

The local Rolling Thunder Chapter NC-5 has organized the event since 2005 to recognize all who served and to support the military community.

“It’s an honor,” said Cribelar. “Every time there’s been a parade, I’m usually marching in it, so this is an honor and privilege,” said Max Cribelar, the parade’s grand marshal and a World War II, Korea and Vietnam veteran.

Veterans Day was originally commemorated as Armistice Day to recognize those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in World War I, but was later renamed to recognize all service members of every war.

“We want to honor veterans and what better way than to organize a parade in their honor,” said Paul Levesque, coordinator for the parade and president of the local Rolling Thunder Chapter.

The parade kicked off with the national anthem, sung by Jesse Hansley and Jane Sutton, both members of the local Rolling Thunder Chapter NC-5.

The 2nd Marine Division Band and color guard led the parade down Western Boulevard and a formation of Marines from Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools, Camp Johnson, marched proudly.

Members of the Jacksonville Military Widows Association were in attendance to pay tribute and give thanks.

“Our veterans need and deserve to be recognized for the sacrifices they’ve made for each and every one of us,” said Margaret Brown, president of the Jacksonville Military Widows Association. “As military widows, we couldn’t be more grateful to have such a place to remember and honor our husbands.”

One hundred local organizations were represented in the parade to include: the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9133, the Women Marines Association, local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops and the Jacksonville Fire Department, among many others.

“I was amazed at the amount of people who came out to support the veterans,” said Levesque. “We’ve always had great turnouts, but nothing like this before.

It was truly heartwarming.

The parade participants and public support this year was absolutely awesome.”

Shawn Allen, a Marine veteran, cheered on his son who paraded with the Northside High School marching band.

He recounted his own participation in the 1999 Jacksonville Veterans Day Parade. “I was in the Mount Suribachi flag raising reenactment, and have come every year to support my fellow Marines and service members,” said Allen. “It’s a chance to honor those who have paid the ultimate price.”

Allen added it’s important to educate the kids on what this day is really about.

Approximatly 500 generous patrons raised more than $70,000 during the Onslow Women’s Center’s annual Dancing Stars of Jacksonville fundraiser at the American Legion Building in Jacksonville, N.C., Oct. 12.

Leaders from 5C the evening wasn’t just for entertainment but for remembering how domestic violence effects more than just the victim.

“Every month, every day, interpersonal violence takes a toll on our nation,” he announced. “This month in Jacksonville, we will mourn for those who succumbed to domestic violence.”

Chief Mike Yaniero, chair for the event and director of public safety for the City of Jacksonville, shared about his experience as an officer answering calls from women who were being abused.

“I remember talking to victims and asking why they stayed,” he said. “Their answer was almost always that they had nowhere to go.”

The mission of the OWC

is to provide crisis intervention to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by empowering the survivors through education and prevention. The organization provides a safe house, 24-hour crisis line, support groups and more for those who seek help.

“The most important thing we can do is intervene,” Yaniero noted. “As chair of (OWC), I get to hear about the great things they’re doing and the women who are getting their lives back without their abusers in it.

Tonight is about breaking the cycle, bringing our community together and saving lives.”

Celebrity judges George Lanvermeier, Betsy Mac Moore and Dawn Brinkley sat ready to hand out their

critiques, encouragement and scores.

“I’m looking for showmanship and technique,” Lanvermeier said.

Moore sympathized with the brave dancers.

“It takes a tremendous amount of courage to put yourself out there like this,” she acknowledged.

Camp Lejeune royalty kicked off the show in style as retired Col. John Kopka and his partner Tiffany Lovett took the stage for an unexpected and impressive hip-hop routine. Kopka, who is known throughout the community as a man ready and willing to complete any mission set before him, surprised the crowd with his ensemble of gold chains, a fedora and a fake goatee.

The audience cheered,

and the judges awarded the pair with a high score.

Mayo and Hisey-Bartel impressed the sold-out group with lifts and jumps incorporated into both of their routines, while Erin Tallman, vice president of Patient and Family Advocacy and Service Improvement at Onslow Memorial Hospital, and her partner, 14-year-old Mattson Williams, left everyone speechless with their highenergy performances.

Edwards explained how the entertainment factor didn’t detract from the vision of the event, but rather increased awareness.

“Events like this break the silence (about domestic violence),” she said. “It makes it less of a taboo topic when they know what’s going on, and then

they talk about it when they get home.”

Retired Maj. Gen. Robert Dickerson, former commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East, and his dancing professional Krystal Jefferson, received the support of the crowd as they first boot-scooted across the floor and ended with a choreographed performance to a mash-up of songs like “Ice, Ice Baby,” while wearing hoodies and ball caps.

Other performances included ballerina Rebecca Chisholm with David Mueller from the show “Swamp Loggers” who attempted a fast-paced Latin routine; Million-Heir Williams, vice president of the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce with partner Jim Hart paying tribute to the

late Michael Jackson; and Dr. Lesley Eason and Rob Williams, who gained points with his purple valor jump suit, shimmied to the music of the 1970s.

David Koonce and Verna Richardson kept it simple and sweet, then pumped up the volume in their final routine, while Martin Aragona and dancer Debra Baile spread the Saturday night disco-fever.

With the highest combined score, Tallman and Williams racked up the win from the judges, and Kopka and Lovett walked away with the People’s Choice Awards.

Marine Corps Installations East welcomes new commanding general Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

B

rig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East relinquished his position to Brig. Gen. Robert. F. Castellvi in front of family and friends at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 12.

Among the attendees, fellow Marines shared their thoughts on Gorry.

“Thousands of Marines and civilians on base are going to remember and miss him for the good he’s done,” said Maj. Gen. Juan Ayala, commander of Marine Corps Installations Command. “With re-

sponsibilities commanding in five different states, he worked to create growth on Lejeune with a diminishing economy.”

Gorry, who has been the commanding general for MCIEAST since July 22, 2011, came into his position after serving as the director for Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University aboard MCB Quantico. Gorry also spent four years at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as a Series Commander, Company Commander and Battalion S-4 Officer. Gorry holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina.

“Thank you for allowing me to be here and supporting my efforts,” said Gorry. “A great relationship between

Brig. Gen. Robert. F. Castellvi

the base and town can’t happen overnight, but the Marines, their families and local government have done everything they can to help me. I’m looking forward to continuing on in the Fleet Marine Force and see great things come from Camp

Lejeune.”

Castellvi, who comes into the position as commander of MCIEAST, holds

a degree in finance from the University of Illinois, with a Marine Corps career that began in 1984 as an infantry officer with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines.

Castellvi comes to MCB Camp Lejeune from 1st Marine Expeditionary Force where he served as the chief of staff.

“I’m anxious to get out and meet each and every one of you,” said Castellvi. “I’m proud to be a part of this all. I pinched myself this morning to make sure none of this is a dream. I want to continue the legacy on Lejeune.

I will dedicate every day to support the Marines and sailors on Camp Lejeune.

This is your Marine Corps. The Corps belongs to the people, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN

Warlords protect Bastion, Leatherneck, Shorabak CPL. LIA ADKINS

Regional Command Southwest

With fighting season well underway and in preparation for Ramadan, the Warlords of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, were in a high operations tempo to counter a possible increase in insurgent activity.

The unit, whose mission is to protect Camps Bastion, Leatherneck and Shorabak, recently conducted three consecutive operations to disrupt enemy activity in Helmand province – Operations Kodiak VI, Grizzly II and Dragon’s Teeth.

The ongoing operations entail intelligence-driven missions, clearing missions or a mixture of both.

In an intelligence-driven mission, the Marines search to identify or contain specific targets. In clearing missions, they search for caches of weapons or explosive materials.

The Marines traveled on foot for all three operations, thoroughly searching compounds for any signs of weapons caches or possible labs of explosive materials. Although the Marines didn’t find any weapons caches, they did collect residue samples for testing and were able to contact local elders for information about suspicious activity in the area.

Lance Cpl. Kyle Boeck, a machine gunner with Company F, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, sweeps the area with a metal detector for any improvised explosive devices prior to conducting a vehicle checkpoint in Helmand province, Afghanistan, June 28.

Beyond the three operations, the country,” said Capt. Andrew D. Marines regularly conduct mounted Nicholson, company commander.

“The hardest thing (we) prob“We do daily disruption operations here in Helmand to ensure ably deal with is the heat,” said Sgt. that (the camps) are protected Douglas Smith, a section leader and (Coalition Forces) are able to with the unit. “It just drains all the conduct their retrograde from the energy out of you. Regardless of

how much water you drink, the heat gets you.”

Although the Marines load their trucks with cold water, by midday the ruthless Afghan heat brings most of the water to above room temperature. With hours still left in their patrols, the Marines do their best to spend time anywhere they can find shade as they search from one compound to another. “(Patrolling) can be rough at times and sometimes it gets pretty annoying if you end up not finding anything,” said Smith. “But that feeling of pride when you come back with some great intelligence is a great feeling. That is what gets you through the days.”

The Marines have faced nearly 75 significant events in their two and a half months operating in Helmand province. The incidents include direct fire, and small-arms fire engagements to the discovery of improvised explosive devices. The Warlords have encountered nearly 20 Improvised Explosive Devices so far.

Smith recalls two occasions when his platoon came under direct fire, forcing the Marines to take immediate action and engage the enemy.
