HEROISM
ON EXHIBIT
By RON NEWBERRY
Part of Michael Anderson’s assignment while helping construct a new exhibit at the PBY-Naval Air Museum was to research the Navy Hospital Corpsmen who were awarded the Medal of Honor. His work is reflected by 22 black-and-white images on a museum wall, showing the faces of corpsmen who received the United States’ highest military honor. “I read every citation for each of those people up there and it’s very humbling,” said Anderson. “It gives me goose bumps talking about it.” Capt. Frederick McDonald, commanding officer of Naval Hospital Oak Harbor, pre-
sented Anderson, Sandra Serna and Meylin Serna with letters of appreciation from the museum during a small ceremony last month. All three sailors are stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The exhibit was organized by retired hospital corpsman Richard Hoover, a museum volunteer who wanted to dedicate space in the museum to the enlisted medical specialists in the Navy who also may serve with the Marine Corps. Tucked in a corner of the museum, the display features a field uniform donated by Anderson, medical bags and other items used by hospital corpsmen in a glass case. There also is written material
10 Important Facts about your VA Burial Benefits: 1. US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits do not cover all the funeral or cremation arrangements of honorably discharged veterans. 2. You will need documentation to verify military service. 3. A veteran’s family must request a United States flag. 4. Military Funeral Honors ceremonies must be scheduled in advance. 5. Veterans caskets are not free. 6. A“Presidential Memorial Certificate” must be requested. 7. If you choose not to be buried in the Arlington National Cemetery, burial money benefits are limited. 8. There are eligibility requirements for burial in the Arlington National Cemetery. 9. Headstones, markers or medallions for a burial space in a private cemetery must be requested. 10.

about the history of hospital corpsmen and other artifacts. McDonald called hospital corpsmen the most decorated group of any rank in the Navy. “They answer the call,” he said. “Most of them are very young people. Sometimes just out of high school, sometimes with a master’s degree. You will never know who in a moment without hesitation will step forward and charge the hill with their comrades and respond to a person down under extreme conditions. This is part of that legacy and it’s a small piece of that legacy.” Hoover, who grew up in Oak Harbor and graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1987, approached Wil Shellenberger, president of the PBY Memorial Foundation, a year ago about

helping at the museum. Shellenberger asked if he could orchestrate a corpsman display. Hoover’s “Unit One” medical bag is part of the exhibit. “Typically these things were handed down from corpsman to corpsman to corpsman in a linear pattern… I was the third person to have it,” Hoover said. He enlisted help from
“Rich took the ball from there,” Shellenberger said. Dave Strohmeyer, the museum’s exhibit manager, provided guidance. The next major exhibit planned for the museum will be a “Women in the Navy” exhibit, scheduled for this year, Shellenberger said.

Nortier plans to stay on island after retiring By DEBRA VAUGHN
A
fter three years serving as the top dog at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Capt. Michael Nortier is staying on Whidbey Island — but not as commanding officer. The base skipper is stepping down in February. He plans to retire from the Navy and remain in Oak Harbor. He said it’s the right decision for his family — he has a son in college and a daughter in high school who both endured multiple moves during his career. At age 47 he’s not going to sit at home. His wife made it clear: “I will not be hanging around the house,” he said.
Nortier will probably find another professional outlet as well as volunteer in local civic groups, he said. And there’s woodworking in his future.
said. He likened it to running a small city. NAS Whidbey is the home of all the Navy’s tactical electronic attack squadrons flying the EA-18G Growler. The base also is home to four P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol squadrons and two fleet reconnaissance squadrons flying the EP-3E Aries.
Nortier is quick to deflect attention but he has made an indelible mark as one of the most effective skippers in NAS Whidbey history. Under his leadership, NAS Whidbey was named the No. 1 naval base in the world by the Navy last year, which recognizes the top bases in its annual Installation Excellence Awards. “That’s not a reflection of me,” he said. “It’s a reflection of a team.” He cited the expertise of many other leaders on base, “professionals who are very good at their jobs.” The award is confirmation of what the base has done well for many years, he said. He talked about his career from his office overlooking the flight line, the near constant rumble of jets in the background. Nortier, a native of Sodus, N.Y., earned his wings in 1991. He racked up more than 4,300 hours in naval helicopters. He served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Tomodachi, the
Nortier
nation’s relief effort after the tsunami devastated Japan in 2011. He held a range of positions. Before reporting to Whidbey, he served at U.S. Pacific Fleet’s Operations Directorate, where he traveled to Iraq to serve as an individual augmentee as the director of the Senior Advisors Group.
The Navy plans to replace the nation’s fleet of P-3 turboprop maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft with the new Boeing P-8. One of the greatest challenges he’s faced is preparing the base for the transition to P-8s. It’s not so much about the new aircraft, as readying the base for new personnel and facilities, he said. Hangar 6, which will accommodate the P-8 aircraft, is being expanded and modernized, even as cur-
rent personnel use it. He also cited a lawsuit filed by a grassroots group unhappy with jet noise at the Outlying Field in Coupeville as a challenge — especially trying to address what he called halftruth and misconceptions spread by social media. “If they are living around the Outlying Field Coupeville, they are exposed to noise all the time and it’s not welcome to them,” he said. “I don’t expect them to enjoy living next to an airport.” He said officials have made an attempt to improve the situation as much as they can. For instance, they changed the way pilots approach NAS Whidbey over the San Juan Islands that reduced noise on the final approach. Capt. Geoffrey Moore is
set to take over as base commanding officer at a change of command ceremony Feb. 19 on base. Moore, a native of Middletown, Conn., last served as commanding officer of a helicopter anti-submarine squadron based in San Diego. “He’s been top-notch in my book,” said Oak Harbor Mayor Bob Severns. “He’s connected with the city really well.” Severns, formerly a city councilman, noted that Nortier made an effort to work with city leaders, meeting with the former mayor regularly and connecting with the City Council. “It’s wonderful for him to stay in the community,” he said. “He’ll be a citizen of our community. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
As base commander, he still loves climbing into the cockpit of any aircraft when invited — he’s flown in more than helos. His typical uniform of the day is a flight suit. “It’s a funny thing about these,” he said, pointing to his wings on his flight suit. Serving as CO of the base is like no other job he’s held, he

Widow offers advice on end-of-life preparations for vets By DEBRA VAUGHN
Carolyn McKinley lost her husband of more than 50 years. He was a veteran, a former Navy sailor. While they were relatively well-prepared for the end of life, the experience left her with a greater understanding of the emotional and practical realities of death.
“I’d always been a positive person,” she said. “When my husband died, I lost everything: my best friend, my lover, my partner. I lost half of my life. I was laying next to him when he passed away. I could feel my heart pull out and go with him.” Now she volunteers at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, the only national cemetery in this state.
She also shares what she’s learned about preparing for the end with other veterans and their families. She was recently on Whidbey Island with the cemetery’s director for seminars on end-of-life preparation. The talks were organized by the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center.
Her husband, Emmett, died in 2008. The process wasn’t easy and she’s still
learning new things about navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs. She suggested veterans and their families should have on hand some place accessible: Discharge papers, also called the DD-214, the certificate of release or discharge from active duty Birth Certificates Marriage and divorce
decrees — including foreign Other military records
It’s key to store this paperwork in one safe place such as a safety deposit box and let key family members know where to find it. She also said it’s crucial to keep the originals and make copies. If you plan a trip, she suggested taking the VA book with or making a list of VA
clinics and hospitals if something unexpected happens while traveling. She also offered this bit of wisdom: When you lose someone you love, it’s a celebration of life. “There are so many things you remember that are positive,” she said. “You don’t remember any of the negatives. That will help make the situation better.”
Nimitz won’t return to Everett until 2019
The USS Nimitz will not be returning to Naval Station Everett in 2016, as originally planned. The aircraft carrier was moved to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton in January for 16 months of large-scale maintenance and upgrades. Now it will remain there through its next maintenance cycle. The Nimitz is now scheduled to return to Everett in 2019. The decision was made to reduce the number of disruptions the crew and their families would experience. The carrier, with a crew of 3,100 sailors and officers, already had undergone three changes of base in the previous five years, Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins said. It moved from San Diego to Bremerton in 2010, then to Everett in early 2012, and back to Bremerton in 2015. Frequent moves can be hard on sailors and their families, Hawkins said.

“Sailors can now continue to focus on training and getting the ship ready for future missions without the added stress of relocating themselves and their families,” Capt. John Ring, the Nimitz’s commanding officer, said.

Once the ship’s maintenance work is done, the Nimitz, which is the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 11, would likely be sent out on another long-term overseas deployment, he said. Then, in 2018, the carrier is scheduled for yet more maintenance work at the shipyard in Bremerton.

Barker defied death four times during WWII By Amy Nile Herald Writer ARLINGTON — He doesn’t tell the kids the whole story when he speaks at schools about serving on the front lines during World War II.
Elwood Barker, 91, survived four close calls while fighting the Axis powers in Europe. He’s part of the so-called Silent Generation that kept the war mostly to themselves for more than half a century. Barker grew up on a farm outside the small town of Golden Valley, North Dakota. At 18, he was drafted into the U.S. Army. His deployment was delayed so he could keep farming until after one of the war’s bloodiest battles. “The guys I was trained with all got killed at the Battle of the Bulge,” he said. Barker landed in France with the 89th Infantry Division in 1945. Under the command of Gen. George S. Patton, he marched into Germany, running telephone
lines and switchboard as a wireman. “I knew how to pray and boy that came in handy,” he said.
Barker’s first near-miss came as the Germans attacked. There was an explosion, and he heard a blood-curdling scream and saw the soldier next to him go down. “His leg looked like hamburger,” Barker said. That image still sends chills up his spine. After that, Barker took a pistol off a fallen German soldier to use for extra protection. He often had to set down his rifle to do his work. The 165-pound soldier carried a pack that weighed almost as much as he did. He endured a year and a half of melee. During his tour of duty, he defied death a second time thanks to a fellow fighter who pulled him out of the line of machine-gun fire, in the nick of time. On
another
Barker stared down the barrel of a rifle when an Allied fighter mistook him for a German. The GI aimed the firearm, pulling back the hammer.
Quickly, Barker blurted out a password in perfect English, proving he wasn’t an enemy. But he wasn’t safe for long. Two days before the Allies declared victory, he was almost killed again. This time a sergeant was spinning a Luger on his finger and accidentally fired. The bullet whizzed past, barely missing Barker and another soldier. After the war, Barker went to school to become a bookkeeper. He met and married his wife of 66 years, Marilyn, 84. They raised four children in Snohomish County.
Elwood “Woody” Barker talks at his home in Arlington about his time as a front line wireman and nearly being killed four times during World War II.

They had help from Toys for Tots, which opened up its storage warehouse to provide hundreds of board games, dolls, cars, balls and even a few bikes. In cases where one child in a family received more donations than another, the nonprofit used Toys for Tots resources to make sure children from the same family received equitable gifts.
