Memorial Day service celebrates past, present veterans and families BY CATHY HEIMER Jet Observer Ray Zumpol Sr. considers himself lucky to be able to attend the Virginia Beach Memorial Day service each year. President of the Vietnam Veterans of America, chapter 969, Zumpol stood tall and proud as all military, past and present, were honored on May 26 at the Tidewater Veterans Memorial, across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center. For the medically retired chief shipfitter, not only being present at the observance, but just standing and walking without assistance
is an accomplishment. During his three years in Vietnam,Zumpol took seven bullets to various parts of his body on March 21, 1968. After serving on two destroyers just off the coast, Zumpol was assigned to River Division 513, part of River Squadron (RIVRON) 51. “My duties were taking Marine Recon, Navy SEALS and Green Berets in and out,” explained Zumpol. “We were just coming back from a gun run. I took a squad of SEALS in, coming back, we got a message that a squad of Marines were pinned down, my CO was dead.As command chief, I said ‘we’re going in,’” he recounted
that day very matter-of-factly. While under fire, Zumpol took bullets to the head,shoulders,back,chest and legs.After surviving a medical evacuation, painful surgeries and months of rehabilitation, Zumpol said military doctors told him he would never walk again.While it has taken him 40-plus years to get around without the aid of a walker or cane, Zumpol was always determined to prove the doctors wrong. Zumpol also jokes how “he avoids airports now days” because of the titanium implants he needed because of his injuries.

Navy Voluntary Education turns 40 STORY/PHOTO BY MCC JAYME PASTORIC Center for Personal and Professional Development Public Affairs The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) headquarters staff and current and former Navy Voluntary Education (VOLED) pioneers joined together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Navy’s VOLED program May 14 at CPPD headquarters, located at Dam Neck Annex. The Navy’s VOLED program was officially launched May 14, 1974. Since then, thousands of Sailors have taken advantage of educational opportunities leading to a professional credential and/or a college degree. “Because of the VOLED team’s dedication, Sailors like me have attained their educational dreams and created a better, brighter tomorrow for themselves and future generations,” said CPPD Commanding Officer Capt. John Newcomer.“Our Sailors’ successes are the Navy’s successes and have a direct link to Navy mission readiness and accomplishment.” Guest speakers from the Navy VOLED team, past and present, were recognized by Newcomer for their dedication to the VOLED mission and the Sailors it supports. Kenn Smith joined the Navy VOLED team in 1975 and spoke about how VOLED has grown over the years. “Through an arrangement with Adm. Grace Hopper, I was able to bring the first computer to Navy Campus in 1985,” said Smith, referring to the organization’s original name of Navy Campus for Achievement that changed in 1999 to the Navy College Program (NCP).NCP is currently administered by the VOLED directorate of CPPD. “Looking at Navy College offices today, I am in awe of the research capabilities and nontraditional education opportunities Sailors have,” he said. Director of Navy Voluntary Education Ernest D’Antonio spoke passionately about the VOLED team that works tirelessly to help Sailors achieve their life-long educational and credentialing goals. “For 40 years, Navy VOLED as an institution has helped hundreds of thousands of Sailors achieve an education and develop critical thinking skills,” said D’Antonio. “We support our purpose and the ones who are our mission — it’s the Sailor who is the heart of my organization.” The ceremony concluded with awards celebrating the many successes of VOLED team members and a cake cutting by Newcomer and VOLED trailblazer Sandra Barnes, accompanied by Kathy Jones, the daughter of former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Robert J. Walker, third MCPON of the Navy and VOLED champion. “Navy VOLED has experienced many changes through its 40 years,” said Newcomer. “One thing that hasn’t changed is the team’s mission to equip Sailors with strong analytical skills through quality educational opportunities, and provide great educational counseling and outstanding customer support.”

Fifteen volved in the “We Honor Veterans,” a veteran-to-veteran Sailors from FRCMA Oceana’s 600 Division rotate out each week to visit one of the three veterans James Hendry,Frank Milinski and until recently,Alphonse Egan,whom they have been sponsoring. Egan passed away April 14, 2014. While spending time with the veterans, the Sailors do everything from reading books to the veterans, sharing life experiences, meal preparation, playing games or simply providing company, which is important as some of the veterans do not have any family or friends in the area. Although Kersey has transferred, Lt.Van Howard has taken the lead in making sure his division continues with the important community service. According to local We Honor Veterans staff, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) Norfolk and FRCMA Oceana 600 Division are the only two organizations involved in the program in Hampton Roads.

According to the website at www.wehonorveterans. org, America’s hospice professionals are on a mission to learn how to serve veterans through the challenges they may be facing from illness, isolation or traumatic life experience. The first step to providing quality end of life care to the nation’s veterans is to learn more about their unique needs by becoming familiar with military culture.
Fire Controlman Training Company helps prepare Sailors for the fleet STORY/PHOTO BY ROBIN HOLLAND Training Support Center Hampton Roads Public Affairs Officer Capt. Brent Kyler, commanding officer, Training Support Center Hampton Roads (TSCHR), conducted his second Fire Controlman Training Company (FCTC) orientation on May 8. Kyler was joined by Lt. Cmdr. Michael Nix, TSCHR executive officer, CMDCM (SW/AW) Kenneth Crane, and Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Equipment (SW/ AW) Ronald Mosley, TSCHR FCTC leading chief petty officer, to explain what TSCHR can do for the young Sailors. They discussed career choices, offered education options, discussed balancing family and financial management, and fielded questions. Since 2012 FCTC has been led by Mos-
ley, in an effort to alleviate the backlog of FC apprentice Sailors awaiting training at TSC Great Lakes. “FC students are at TSCHR for a period of one to six months, depending on training pipeline. While awaiting training, instead of assigning students busy work, we give them every opportunity to attend required courses for shipboard life before reporting to the fleet,” said Mosley. “In the near future, we plan on sending these Sailors on short underway periods so they can experience firsthand what sea life is like.” “Chief Mosley is constantly working on process improvements to get these young Sailors as many of the right skills we can offer them.This not only prepares each and every one of these FC Sailors, but it increases our fleet readiness and provides their eventual PCS duty station
with a more full-up-round Sailor.Any ‘extra’ training we can get these Sailors to complete also saves the fleet time and money as they are here awaiting formal schools, ” said Kyler. “We’ve had great results as students have logged an additional 3,750 mandays acquiring C, F, & T schools, earning over 40 Navy Enlisted Classifications, and logging more than 1,300 man-hours of NKO COIs. Each day a Sailor is awaiting training costs the Navy approximately $180 a day. This quarter alone we’ve saved the Navy $136,260,” said Mosley. “The greatest benefactors of this program are the individual Sailor and the ship they are reporting to. Fleet units receive FCs that are more trained-up and more able to contribute upon arrival then they would be coming directly from an accession source,” said Kyler.

Guest speaker Lt. Cmdr. Hung Dang spoke to Sailors about why heritage months are celebrated and the significance of May’s observance, which highlights when the first Japanese immigrants came to the United States in 1843. Dang,who is serving as SFWL’s supply officer,also talked about how people of different cultures travel to America to seek the promise of freedom, opportunity and justice. “I’m one of them,” Dang said. Dang went on to tell his personal story of coming to America as an immigrant and about the struggles he and his mother endured. He explained that his father is American and he and his mother came from Vietnam “not knowing a lick of English.” He said he was picked on by other kids and decided to read the encyclopedia from A to Z to learn everything he needed to know about America. When he joined the Navy, Dang explained he was constantly looking for his “Asian brother.” He expected to find a mentor who was a fellow Asian, yet everywhere he was sent he seemed to be the only one. At one of his first commands Dang said he met a chief aviation machinist’s mate,“a Caucasian guy,and he took me

Memorial Day: Speakers urge better care for all veterans — Continued from page 1 Even though the normal age-related ailments have also caught up with the 72-year-old, Zumpol wouldn’t think of missing the Memorial Day service — or the Veterans Day one either. Always seeking a chance to honor past and present veterans, Zumpol serves on the Hampton Roads Veterans Council, helping organize the Veterans Day parade for the past 10 years. “People tell me I’m a hero but I’m not. Heroes are buried,” he said quietly. Virginia Beach Mayor William Sessoms Jr. began his remarks by noting how each year the city joins the nation in paying tribute to those very heroes. “Over the years, here in Virginia Beach, we’ve also gathered, to remember and pay tribute to all who’ve served. In recent years, we’ve paid special tribute to our Navy SEALS stationed in Virginia Beach, the Sailors of the USS Cole, the airmen of the National Guard’s 203rd Red Horse flight and Medal of Honor recipients who live in Virginia Beach.All were members of this community and many, many made the ultimate sacrifice … We will always honor them … We remember that each one of those lost lives represents a father, a moth-

er, a son, a daughter,” said Sessoms. The mayor also recognized the many family members in attendance. “Today, we also salute the families and we should never forget the families who support our men and women in uniform, who guarantee and defend our freedom.” Guest speaker NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope began by thanking city officials for the opportunity to speak at the event. “For many, this day is far removed from blow-out sales, picnics and a day off from work. It’s a day that carries a particular significance; one marked by marble headstones and wreath-layings. We pause to honor those men and women today, our loved ones and our neighbors who made the ultimate sacrifice to guarantee our freedoms,” said Chope, who commented how the true meaning of the day sometimes “becomes distant and vague.” “It is our sacred duty to keep the legacy of our nation’s patriots forever fresh in our memory.We are bound by honor to do so,” said Chope. “Virginia Beach and all Hampton Roads are home to one of the greatest concentrations of military personnel and installations in the world … The military community partnership that’s abundantly evident here in Virginia Beach is a model for all other military communities around the nation,” said Chope. “As Americans pay tribute to those who have perished, we must be determined
that those who served and returned to us receive proper care for their wounds and infirmities. We must insist that every veteran have an opportunity for employment, education and a home in which to live.We must vow that our veterans be treated with the dignity and respect that they so richly deserve,” said Chope. As he prepared to conclude his remarks, Chope announced the 2014 NAS Oceana Air Show, Sept. 19 - 21, will honor the nation’s wounded warriors. The formal ceremony included the presentation of wreaths by 33 community and veterans’ groups. As the Pearl Harbor survivors escorted their wreath to its designated location, they received a standing ovation. The observance was concluded by the singing of “America the Beautiful” by Ashley McLeod, a benediction by Lt. Cmdr.Victoria Chappell, Oceana chaplain, and the playing of “Taps” by Master Sgt. Ryan Heseltine from the Air Force Heritage of America Band, whose other members performed throughout the ceremony. Among the many ceremony participants was Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Andrew Patrick from the Oceana Hornet’s Nest Galley.After hearing about the observance through his command,Patrick volunteered to represent the Navy as one of the flag attendants at the veteran’s memorial. “It’s something dear to my heart. My grandfather was a Marine, my family is patriotic and I’m trying to give back,” said Patrick. In his previous command, he participat-
ed in other ceremonies, including a burial detail,but it was his first time volunteering on Memorial Day.“I wasn’t aware of how big the service is,” he said. Zumpol has noticed the increasing attendance at the local ceremonies. “Over the years, more and more people are coming out and over the years, more and more Vietnam veterans are being honored.” What Zumpol would like people to remember about Memorial Day is “the need to remember our fallen heroes and the ultimate price they paid so that we can continue our freedom. All veterans are honored but fallen veterans deserve more and their families, too.”
For many, this day is far removed from blow-out sales, picnics and a day off from work. It’s a day that carries a particular significance; one marked by marble headstones and wreath-layings.” — NAS Oceana Commanding Officer Capt. Kit Chope

SALT is a high-impact alcohol awareness program. It was developed to provide a state-of-the-art, interactive drunk driving simulation that shows how alcohol impairs driving skills, according to the SALT website. Christopher Rich, a SALT presenter who has been with the program for more than 10 years, said they travel seven to eight months out of the year to give their presentation to schools and military bases all over America and overseas. The program took place in the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) hangar on May 15 and at the Dam Neck Fitness Center May 16. The program began with a brief introduction by Rich and a video that told personal stories of people whose lives were affected by someone who chose to drive drunk.After the video, Rich spoke to the Sailors and Marines about the video they had seen and how serious driving while intoxicated or while distracted is.
Rich spoke about Jacqueline Saburido, whose story was told towards the end of the video. Saburido’s life changed forever after she was involved in a car accident with a drunk driver.Two friends in the vehicle with her were killed, more than 60 percent of her body was burned and she has undergone more than 40 operations, according to Rich. “It’s sad, it’s an avoidable consequence,” Rich said.“The young man got seven years in prison and a $20,000 fine for killing two people and ruining another’s life.” Rich talked to the Sailors and Marines about the common things said and thought by drunk drivers.“People believe that if they drink enough water or eat enough bread or food, it will reverse their impairment. “People who you think would have common sense … they don’t think about the serious consequences that are associated

and always from someone he did not expect. “The Navy allowed me to be exposed to and accept diversity and challenges, and to help me with those challenges to create my success,” Dang said. Senior Chief Aviation Maintenance Administrationman Michael Howell then gave the benediction and Sailors enjoyed an Asian-Pacific themed feast which included lumpia, kimchi, siopao and pancit.

with their actions, ‘I can kill somebody, I can hurt somebody badly, I can wind up in prison for the rest of my life.’They don’t think of those things,” Rich said. To conclude the program, military members had the chance to try the drunk driving and distracted driving simulators. Rich coached the Sailors and Marines through the drunk and distracted driving simulators, pointing out the effects that they did not realize were occurring, including tunnel vision, not checking mirrors, delayed response time and not noticing street signs.
“It’s to show people the concentration level that people have with drinking and driving, the delayed reaction … it just kind of brings it to life with the simulator,” Rich said. Fire Controlman Seaman Miguel Hernandez, a student at the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) Unit at Dam Neck, said the video was very informative and he would definitely be taking it into consideration the next time he went out with his friends.

While many runners were dressed in red, white and blue to show support for service members, the registration fees from the race are used to support military recognition programs and scholarships. “We focused on the military today,”said Rick Platt, president of the Colonial Road Runners and organizer of the event.“But we had a lot of fast civilians out here, as well.”
The first place overall finishers for the race were Victor Flemming, from Carrollton, with a time of 16:20; and Karen Terry, from Hampton, with a time of 19:00. “It’s a great day for a run today,”said Rebecca Miller, one of the race participants. “It was good to get out on the road and show support for our military.” Platt said that events like this encourage community and socializing, fitness, and competition among area runners. The run was one of 23 races in the Colonial Runners Grand Prix, a competition held to encourage runners to participate and in local running events.
