Courage of all sizes at Relay

By MELANIE HAMMONS

Whidbey Crosswind

Beautiful blue skies and sunshine greeted Oak Harbor’s 2011 Relay for Life, held this past Friday and Saturday, June 3 - 4, at North Whidbey Middle School. Yet even the lovely weather was not the most notable feature of the cancer fundraiser, according to one organizer.

“We have 1,350 registered participants so far,” said event chairperson April Wilder.

Tuesday is Flag Day Celebrate Old Glory

By K ATHY REED

t’s not an official federal holiday, but Tuesday does mark an important day in our nation’s history.

It is Flag Day, which commemorates the day the flag of the United States was adopted by resolution of the second Continental Congress, in 1777.

“Flag Day is a day for the commissioning of a new flag and the ceremonial disposal of flags that have been certified unusable,” said Lenord Little, commander of American Legion Post 129 in Oak Harbor.

There are observances held in honor of Flag Day, which vary from state to state and city to city. Fairfield, Wash., near Spokane is home to the nation’s oldest

continuing Flag Day parade, which celebrated its centennial last year. The city will hold its 101st grand parade Saturday.

Here in Oak Harbor, the Lions Club will place flags along city streets in honor of the day.

(The Lions) put up all the street-lining flags for all the major or legal holidays,” said Little. “They’ve been doing a wonderful job over the years.”

Saturday, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Whitehead-Muzzall Post 7392 in Oak Harbor will hold a U.S. Flag Retirement Ceremony, a proper and formal way to dispose of the stars and stripes, and one that is conducted periodically by different organizations.

“Since the actual Flag Day is on a weekday this year, we decided to do it on the 11th,” said VFW Post Commander Pete Sill. “This is the second time we will have done the ceremony.”

Sill estimates the VFW has close to 50 3-by-5-foot flags and four 20-by-60-foot flags that will be retired at Saturday’s ceremony.

“We treat a flag’s retirement very much

like we treat a veteran who is retiring,” said Little, who said the American Legion collects about 200 worn flags every year.

“If it’s an appropriate flag, and by that I mean one that’s not plastic, it’s supposed to be flown honorably, taken down, folded up appropriately, and taken to the Boy Scouts or nearest veterans organization for disposal.”

“We accept worn and unusable flags all the time,” agreed Sill. “If we cannot retire them properly, then we arrange to send them to another Post for retirement.”

Because of air quality concerns, plastic, polyester or nylon flags shouldn’t be burned, said Little. While he’s not aware of any special rules for disposing of plastic flags, he said all flags should be treated with respect. Little said local mortuaries will sometimes place polyester or nylon flags in need of disposal alongside the coffins of veterans who are being cremated, giving the flags an honorable destruction by fire.

NAVY LEAGUE Project manager Larry Cort discusses the Pioneer Way construction project Tuesday during the June meeting of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, which met at the Officer’s Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Pioneer Way construction could end ahead of schedule

By K ATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind

The project manager for the Pioneer Way construction project in downtown Oak Harbor is confident that not only will the project be finished on time, it will be finished ahead of schedule.

Larry Cort shared his optimistic projection Tuesday at the regular meeting of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, which met at the Officer’s Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

“Even though Sept. 2 is the contracted completion date, I feel confident that date will not only be met, but that we’ll be ahead of schedule,” Cort told a full house.

Cort couldn’t be sure how early the project could see its end, but speculated that it could be as early as two weeks.

Since construction got underway March 9, Cort said the first phase of the project, from City Beach Street to Dock Street is

“What is taking the major time and money on this project is what’s happening underground. ” – Larry Cort nearly finished and phase two, from Dock Street to Midway Boulevard is well in hand. Although the initial four inches of fresh asphalt was put in place last week and is a big step toward the project’s completion, much of the work going on is taking place out of sight.

“What is taking the major time and money on this project is what’s happening underground,” said Cort, explaining that sewer, water and storm drain systems are being updated, and crews are installing the conduit which will house electrical and communication lines for Puget Sound Energy, Comcast and Frontier

Other business In other Navy League business Chaplain Roy Sherwood gave the invocation and president Tom Tack led members in the pledge. Connie Leonhardi reported there are 11 new Navy League members so far this year.

Cryptologic Technician (Technical Branch) Noah McHugh, VAQ 131, gave the intelligence briefing, which focused on China’s new carrier.

China bought the former Soviet carrier “Varyag” 13 years ago and is expected to begin sea trials as early as this summer.

Communications, among others.

“It’s an enormously complicated process to go from above ground to underground,” Cort said.

“As many as 18 separate conduits will go into the trench.”

Cort said once the main line is in, then connections can be made to individual businesses. One of the last parts of the project will be removing the wires and poles throughout the downtown area as the switch is made to the underground conduit.

As with any construction project, Cort said crews have run into a couple of surprises. He said they counted on finding three underground storage tanks in the course of construction, but said crews have found seven.

He also said every project usually finds a giant rock, and this one was no exception. A rock the size of a large SUV was found underground in front of the YMCA/USO building.

When asked whether he’s received any negative

feedback from merchants or citizens, Cort said the debate over one-way or two-way traffic was before his time with the project, and said most people just wanted something to be done.

“The majority of owners I’ve talked to supported something happening there,” he said. “And I’ve heard nothing but good things regarding the quality and pace of the contractor.”

Cort praised city leaders for setting up offices downtown where merchants could easily bring questions and concerns before project managers.

A weekly update is held each Tuesday morning from 9 to 10 a.m. at the information and construction office near the Casual House.

And he also said local drivers are quick learners — after just a few days with asphalt down, they had already adjusted to the new “pull-in” style parking.

“The learning curve has been short,” he said.

McHugh said the Pentagon believes the “Shi Lang” is to be a training vessel. Because of its moderate size and the age of the equipment believed to be on board, it poses very little threat.

The dispute over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea was also mentioned. According to McHugh, China, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines have all made various claims on the islands.

The local Council will stand down during July and August. The next meeting of the Navy League will be Tuesday, Sept. 6.

CNATTU welcomes new skipper Latosky turns the reins over to Cmdr. Charles Murphy

By DENNIS CONNOLLY

Whidbey Crosswind

What Cmdr. David Latosky said he really enjoyed is working with his shipmates.

He was looking out at the Navy and Marine Corps men and women at the change of command ceremony for the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit last Friday.

The ceremony was held at the Skywarrior Theater on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. More than 400 had come to see Cmdr. Latosky turn his command over to Cmdr. Charles Murphy.

Latosky spoke with pride about the men and women he knew during his three years at CNATTU. “I was surrounded by professionals,” Latosky said “truly professional people that really made my time here as the commanding officer of CNATTU Whidbey Island very special.”

As commands go, Latosky said CNATTU is a little different.

“We don’t have aircraft to fly or ships to sail,” he said.

“We are in the training business and the products of our labor are sailors and Marines, technicians and operators; aircrew — men and women who will show up at squadrons maintaining those aircraft and putting them in the air. Quite simply that is what my command is charged with, turning those young Americans into professionals.”

As commanders go, Latosky may be a little different as well.

He spent 10 years as an enlisted man and achieved the rank of Anti-Submarine Warfare Chief Petty Officer prior to his selection as a Limited duty officer and commissioned as an Ensign in October 1991.

He relates to both enlisted and officers, like many Mustangs, because he’s done both their jobs.

Latosky said CNATTU trains today’s aviation professionals for tomorrow’s missions.

He also said he measures this training organization against any in the nation with certainty that this is the finest center for naval aviation technical training in the

“Hooyah!” Cmdr. Latosky said to the crowd.

“Hooyah!” the crowd responded immediately and loudly.

He repeated the phrase a couple of times more during his speech and the response was as immediate, and as loud, every time.

His relief, Cmdr. Charles Murphy, said it was fitting to have the change of command ceremony on June 3, when organizations across the country celebrated the Battle of Midway, which was conducted from June 4-7, 1942, and is widely regarded as the most important naval battle of the Pacific Campaign of World War II. Then Murphy related an incident where he had big shoes to fill.

Last August he attended the Prowler award ceremony for Skipper Latosky. As he was leaving work through the main doors, his right shoe blew out and the sole separated from the rest of the shoe.

With a shoe that sounded a like flip-flop, the prospect of walking through a quiet hangar in front of formations, commanders and civilians was daunting, especially with minutes to go before the ceremony.

Murphy said he thought perhaps Skipper Latosky had an extra pair of dress white shoes in his office. He did.

They were too big, but at least Murphy had dress shoes that didn’t sound like flip-flops.

“So I can tell you right now that if you have expectations, I can fill Dave’s shoes as the new CO, I can now literally say that won’t happen,” Murphy said. “However figuratively, yes.”

The commanders proceeded to read their orders and officially changed command.

HooYah.

A change of command ceremony for the Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) took place Friday, June 3, at the Officer’s Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

The mission of NOSC is to augment Navy forces, providing operational and wartime crisis support with trained Navy men and women who are, as a plaque in front of the building says, “Ready to serve, now, anytime, anywhere.”

Cmdr. Johnny Miller, formerly an Oak Harbor Wildcat and Western Washington University graduate, passed his command over to Cmdr. Brian S. Collier, a native of Philadelphia, and whose extensive blue-water experience — from amphibious boats, to frigates and destroyers to LHA-1’s — should serve him well.

The job for Miller, and now Collier, is the training and administration of reserve component Navy personnel assigned to various units in the Pacific Northwest.

Currently they have about 800 personnel, both full-time staff and reservists, divided among 13 units in 10 different locations, from Whidbey Island to Yakima.

“Each unit does something different in support

of our great military,” said Miller. “They do this for little money, always knowing they might be called to serve full time at moment’s notice.”

Miller said the unit has been in place since the 1920, first on Lake Washington in Seattle and then on Whidbey, transitioning to NAS Whidbey in 1970. It moved to its current location in 1989 and took the name of Navy Operational Support Center in October, 2006.

NOSC reports to the Navy Region Northwest Reserve Component Command in Everett, Wash.

In the last 47 months, Miller said the staff shrank by 67 percent; two out of three sailors went away, but the work load didn’t.

“Most importantly, during this four-year period, my staff mobilized, primarily to a war zone, and usually for a year or more, over 210 individual sailors

OUR VIEWS

NAS Whidbey lucky to have good theater I don’t know how it is in your family, but my family loves to go to the movies.

Maybe it was because we didn’t get to do it very often when I was growing up in the middle of Minnesota farmland, or maybe it’s just the whole “escape from reality” thing that has me hooked. Anyway, I love going to the theater.

It’s the whole experience I love — the big screen, the darkness around you that sort of closes off the rest of the world, the audience sharing the same KATHY adventure. From my very first film, which was “The Jungle REED Book” at the local drive-in with my parents’ station wagon, I’ve been hooked by the big screen.

I have to admit, I’ve gotten a little spoiled by the Skywarrior Theater at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

At first, it was just having access to first-run movies at a great price that lured me in. Well, maybe that and the popcorn.

But having recently gone off-island to take in a couple of shows, I realize how fortunate we are to have the Skywarrior. With its recent renovations complete (I wanted to do a story about it, but was turned down), the theater now boasts more than 600 comfortable seats, digital sound and picture and 3-D projection capabilities. In fact, it’s the Navy’s first digital projection system anywhere.

The only thing off-island theaters have that the Skywarrior doesn’t is stadium seating, but having grown up without it, it really doesn’t matter to me.

If you haven’t been there in a while, check it out. Movies are shown every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And the popcorn, by the way, is delicious!

Rules for Displaying the American Flag Courtesy of www.usa-flag-site.org American flag rules were established in 1942. Congress enacted the code to provide guidelines and rules to ensure the American flag continues to be respected. Because the rules are meant as a guideline, an individual cannot be fined or punished by violating them.

General guidelines • The flag should never touch the ground.

• The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source.

• The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use.

• The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.

• When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

Outdoors Over the middle of the street: It should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.

Flown at half-staff: Should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the halfstaff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day.

On the same halyard with non-nation flags: The American Flag should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the U.S. flag should be hoisted first and lowered last. No flag or pennant may be placed above the U.S. flag or to the right of the U.S. flag.

Students get visit from SAR chopper Search and Rescue team teaches valuable lessons

By K ATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind

Students at Crescent Harbor Elementary School near Oak Harbor got an up close and personal look at a Search and Rescue helicopter from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island last week.

Members of the NASWI SAR team landed their chopper June 1 as the children were lining up to go into the school, so most of the youngsters had a chance to see it land. Later on, each class got 15 minutes to go out and see the helicopter and talk with crew members.

“The kids love this,” said Kate Schreck, Crescent Harbor Elementary’s principal. “This is the second year in a row we’ve managed to do this.

“What’s nice is that because our building has so many kids with families in the Navy and they come and go so much, we had a lot of kids that didn’t get

to experience this last year because they weren’t in the building,” she said.

Once on the ground the crew ran students through three different stations.

The physical fitness/motivation station gave students a firsthand look at different types of workouts the crew uses to stay fit for the job.

At the rescue gear station, the different types of gear were explained, including the hoist, rescue basket and backboard/ litter.

The last station offered a chance for students to ask questions about working with search and rescue helicopters.

“The crew provides such great role models for the kids,” Schreck said. “The teachers told me later how crew members encouraged the children to work hard in school, because they can’t do a job like that without an education.”

But the crew gets something out of these visits as well.

“The teachers told me later how crew members encouraged the children to work hard in school because they can’t do a job like that without an education.”

– Principal Kate Schreck “Visiting the schools keeps my life perspective positive as I’m able to see so many students who are excited about the simple things in life,” said Lt. Brandon Sheets, a pilot.

“We try to make the most of these opportunities to encourage kids who might need a self-esteem boost.”

Schreck said that while many of the students at Crescent Harbor Elementary School know a lot about the Navy, an experience like the one last week is still new.

“They don’t get a lot of up close contact with the aircraft,” she said. “It gives them a different perspective than what they normally see when they go on the base.”

Collier said the reason he was there was because of his three families.

“The family I was born into, the family I married into, and my Navy family,” he said.

He spent the next few minutes thanking and praising his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles

and cousins; his wife, her mother, his son-in-law and the Navy. He thanked them for their love, support and examples he followed.

“I have had the honor of serving with countless professional and personal lessons. I’ve have had subordinates that have humbled me with their hard work, and I have had leaders that

have made me better by demanding my best and making me a professional,” said Collier.

He then said he was honored to be given the responsibility of command, and said he will do all he can to serve the sailors of NOSC Whidbey Island, the United States Navy and this nation.

KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

RELAY | FROM PAGE 1 “There may well be many more than that, by the time the event ends, at 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday). She called the turnout “impressive.”

Wilder was also very grateful for the pleasant temperatures.

“I have to say, this is probably the most beautiful weather we’ve had in at least three years,” she said.

“Nice weather certainly can’t hurt us.”

The track at Oak Harbor Middle School bustled with enthusiastic participants of all ages.

People walked, jogged, and pushed wheelchairs

and strollers. Some came to show their support for those going through cancer treatment.

Others came to commemorate those who have lost their lives to the disease.

One of the youngest event participants actually stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Little Elayna Charboneau, 2, took turns balancing on the shoulders of her mother and father as they made several laps around the track.

Elayna has fought a rare form of cancer called adrenocortical carcinoma.

Her parents, hospital corpsmen Wendy and Nathan Charboneau, are

stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Between laps, Nathan talked about his daughter’s diagnosis and treatment process.

“This disease can tear families apart,” he said.

“I’m thankful to say that it seems to have made our family stronger.” The Charboneaus have five other children.

“We’re walking today for Elayna and the others. We want to express our gratitude for the care shown her, and support for all cancer survivors and their families,” he said.

Elayna had surgery to remove the cancerous tumor when she was little more than a year old.

Nathan described her experience at that young age.

“Just like now, she was a real trooper,” he said. “That very night, following the surgery, she was trying to move around – even with three IV’s in her body. It couldn’t keep her down.”

This is the first year the Charboneaus have participated in Relay for Life.

They did so at the invitation of their friend, Heather Buenaventura, who is employed at Naval Hospital Oak Harbor.

Other participants have been marching in the event for years now. One of them is Kathy Merrill, also employed at NHOH, where she processes medi-

cal evaluations and limited duty applications.

“I’ve been involved with Relay for Life about 16 years now,” said Merrill. “I just feel like I’ve benefited so much from the research and medical advances supported by this fundraiser.”

Merrill said both she and her husband are cancer survivors. In her job, she sees many who are affected by the disease as well.

For Merrill, one of the most encouraging aspects of Relay for Life is the camaraderie and spirit of friendship the event fosters.

“In addition to the research and funding, it also provides a network for people,” she said. “They

have a venue in which to share stories of their recovery process, which helps encourage others who are starting treatment for the first time.”

Camaraderie and a festive spirit were definitely on full display among Merrill’s team. Beach accessories decorated their tent site, and the team members were outfitted in Hawaiian dress including leis and grass skirts. Merrill described one of their reasons for choosing that particular theme.

“We’re supporting a worthwhile cause, and having fun while we do it,” she said. “What could be better than an all-night party that also helps people?”

The Navy’s top brass has reaffirmed that Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is still in line to receive four squadrons of the new P-8A Poseidon aircraft, according to statement released Saturday from U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen’s office.

Larsen, a Second District Democrat and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said he recently met with Admiral Gary Roughead, chief of Naval Operations, for breakfast at the admiral’s home in Washington, D.C. “During our breakfast, I impressed upon Admiral Roughead the importance of the Navy in Washington, particularly at Naval Station Everett and Naval Air Station Whidbey Island,” Larsen said in the release.

He also “strongly reaffirmed” the need to follow the P-8A record of decision for NAS Whidbey Island, a document that outlines the replacement of P-3 Orion subhunters with the new P-8A Poseidon aircraft at existing maritime patrol home bases.

Earlier this year, the Navy announced that Jacksonville, Fla. and Kaneohe, Hawaii would be the first two homes of the new P8-A squadrons. The news led many to worry that this was just a first step in a move that would permanently cut NAS Whidbey Island out of the plan.

The four P-3 squadrons currently located at the airbase represent roughly 2,600 jobs. According to base spokeswoman Kimberly Martin, their payroll is believed to pump about $87 million into the island’s economy every year. Each Poseidon squadron typically consists of eight aircraft.

Although a Navy Office of Information spokesman at the Pentagon recently confirmed a study is under way to determine whether to permanently staff just two bases with Poseidons rather than three, Larsen said Roughead reiterated during their breakfast that the Navy’s longrange plans have not changed. It still intends to send four P-8A squadrons to NAS Whidbey Island starting in 2017.

“He stated that the record of decision continues to stand and I reiterated that NAS Whidbey Island is an ideal location to be a home for the P-8A,” the release said.

NWCA move may be blessing in disguise Navy Wives gather to say goodbye to Building 49 and honor one of their own

embers of the Navy Wives Club of America gathered for a dual purpose Saturday on the Seaplane Base of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

End of an era The first reason for the gathering was to say goodbye to the end of an era.

For nearly 30 years, the group’s meeting room was at the top of a narrow flight of stairs in Building 49.

Not only were group meetings held there, the room was used for other club functions such as a regular scrapbooking location, and as a workroom when the club would put together its annual Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets for enlisted Navy families.

Because it holds no historical significance, Building 49 is scheduled for demolition sometime next year, according to Navy Public Affairs Officer Kimberly Martin.

That means members of the Navy Wives Club are out of a permanent home.

The group now meets in the Red Cross room in Building 22.

“The room is fine, but it’s not ours,” said NWCA Whidbey Island 150 president Betty Glein. “We can’t hang our plaques or display our trophies or all the other things we’ve collected over the last 50 years.”

“They’ve given us a storage room so we can put our history books and

other things in there,” said the group’s vice president, Barbara Mann. “But it’s not the same, because it’s a Red Cross room. It doesn’t feel like home.”

While it may be hard to say goodbye to the group’s longtime home, others see it as an opportunity for growth.

“It’s an old building, and I know it was difficult for some members to get up the stairs,” acknowledged Cristal Wilkerson, NWCA Northwest Regional president.

“But now, by getting a more modern, accessible meeting room, they’ll get more exposure with Fleet and Family and with the ombudsmen,” she continued. “So maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.”

Surprise While the official reason for Saturday’s gathering was to say goodbye to the building, the local group had an ulterior motive — to bestow life member status upon Glein, who has been a part of Navy Wives since 1974.

“She just knows about the farewell ceremony,” said group chaplain Jean Wieman. “She has no idea what we’ve schemed.”

Glein was clearly stunned as group members presented her with the lifetime member certificate, and broke down in tears as the more than 30 people in attendance, including members from other NWCA groups, family members and friends, applauded.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen Betty speechless,” quipped group

“Can you do this without my approval?” Glein joked.

“It’s a very special honor being made a life member,” explained Wilkerson. “It’s usually based on what a member has done locally for the club and for their years of service.”

Being made a life member means Glein’s name will go on the national NWCA rolls forever.

Perks of being a life member include not having to pay annual dues ever again — the local club covers those from now on.

In addition to a certificate, Glein will receive a special pin, which is an honor in the organization.

“Our pins mean something to us,” said Wilkerson.

Local members had only words of praise for Glein and what she’s done for the organization.

“She loves Navy Wives heart and soul,” said Diana Hamilton, a member of NWCA since 1978. “She’s been a mentor to me and she’s everything you could ask for in a friend.”

“If anybody believes in

“She loves Navy Wives heart and soul. She’s been a mentor to me and she’s everything you could ask for in a friend.”

– Diana Hamilton a cause and what Navy Wives is all about, it’s her,” agreed another longtime member, Mary Mahoney.

“She means so much to everybody,” said Mann.

“She’s put her heart and soul into this club.”

A member since 1995, Lenore Voit said Glein has always been there to offer support and encouragement to the group.

“She really believes in the ideals of the organization and helping our military families,” Voit said.

For her part, Glein said she was overwhelmed, and said it meant so much to her because it made her feel she’d earned her fellow members’ respect.

“I’ve been president many times, but it never

was a power thing,” said Glein. “I just wanted my friends to respect me.”

Saying the organization has kept her going both emotionally and physically many times over the years, Glein still worries about the future of the Navy Wives Club.

“I just want to see our organization grow,” she said. “We need growth.”

NASWI remembers the Battle of Midway Local survivor of the battle recalls details of the fight

By K ATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind

T

he Battle of Midway has long been regarded as one of the most decisive victories in U.S. naval history and Oak Harbor is proud to count one of its survivors among its citizens.

Retired Navy commander Harry Ferrier was the guest of honor at a special commemoration of the Battle of Midway last week at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Beautiful blue skies were reflected in the water as approximately 100 active duty Navy personnel, community members and special guests gathered at the Crescent Harbor Adventures boat dock on

WN

the Seaplane Base Friday morning.

An opening invocation, NAS Whidbey Island Color Guard and a performance of the National Anthem

by Musician Second Class Stephanie Brainard, set the stage for opening remarks

by NASWI commanding officer, Capt. Jay Johnston, who reiterated the importance the Battle of Midway played in World War II. “The real story of Midway, however, is not one of aircraft, ships, grand strategy or geopolitics, it is a story of people,” Johnston said. “From Admiral to Seaman, Midway Island was won by the courage, the skill and the innovation of the American fighter.

“Sailors and Marines, outgunned, outmanned and mostly untested in

combat, stopped the enemy advance and made the U.S. victory a matter of ‘when,’ not ‘if,’” he continued.

Johnston cited examples of the Navy pilots, code breakers, Sailors and Marines who pulled together during the battle to ultimately win the fight against the Japanese aerial attack, which came so close on the heels of Pearl Harbor.

“While we pray that never again will we have to fight a battle on the scale of Midway, the work of today’s Navy is no less significant,” Johnston said.

“Our actions at home and abroad, in peace and war, are a decisive global force for good.”

With a note to take time to remember and thank the service of our WWII veterans, Johnston introduced special guest Harry Ferrier, who enlisted in the Navy in 1941. Just 16 at the time, Ferrier’s mother helped him get in. Following boot camp and aviation radio school, he volunteered for Torpedo Squadron 8, forming as part of the air group for the USS Hornet, a new carrier.

The squadron was the first to receive the new Grumman TBF-1 aircraft, or the “Avenger.” Ferrier, who had stayed behind to train on the new aircraft, arrived in Pearl Harbor the day after the USS Hornet left for the Pacific. His detachment prepared the six new planes and flew them to Midway Atoll to reinforce the Marines there.

with pilot Ensign Albert Earnest and turret gunner Jay Manning, was with Torpedo Squadron 8 when it joined the aerial battle near the Midway Atoll on June 4, 1942. Despite heavy losses on the American

side, the Navy fliers managed to sink four Japanese carriers. He described part of the battle.

Honoring Battle of Midway, Gold Star Families, USS Constitution Gets Underway

“I got hit — which this 70-year-old baseball cap shows — which knocked me out for a short time.”

cannon shell hits, Ferrier said.

While he was lucky to survive, Ferrier said he always thought about the men who went into the battle and gave their lives.

“I’m pleased to be here and call our interests to the sacrifices made on our side of the battle,” he said. “But it made such a difference in the later years of World War II.” Ferrier, along with Capt.

Johnston, Cmd. Master Chief Darin Hand, junior Sailor of the Year Masterat-Arms Second Class Cody Abernathy and former Navy gunnery officer

Harvey Lasell then laid a wreath in the water.

Following a performance of “Taps,” the gathering adjourned for a reception in Simard Hall.

CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (NNS) —USS Constitution hosted approximately 200 members from Gold Star Families during an underway Battle of Midway commemoration from the ship’s berth in Charlestown, Mass., June 3.

The ship honored Gold Star Families — families who lost loved ones in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom —and also honored the Navy’s victory at Midway Island during World War II. “I am excited that we are able to host several families in recognition of their fallen service members,” said Cmdr. Tim Cooper, Constitution’s 71st commanding officer. “Honoring those who sacrificed so much in defense of our nation is such an easy thing and one that my crew and I are privileged to do.”

The ship got underway after morning colors, shortly after 8 a.m. Cmdr. Jonathan Smith, a Navy chaplain, next gave the invocation. Then USS Constitution Command Master Chief Roxanne Rhoades, and Rear Adm. Nevin Carr, Chief of Naval Research and Director, Test and Evaluation and Technology Requirements; commemorated the Battle of Midway by tossing a wreath into the ocean over Constitution’s side.

Sailors then offered tours of the ship to all Gold Star Families and guests.

Star Families and resident of Bedford, Mass. “We were definitely excited about being invited and honored that the families of the fallen were thought about. It’s important too; the families get together and bond. My son, John, also loved sailing.

He would have loved this opportunity.”

Hart’s son was Pfc. John Hart of 1st Battalion, 508th Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, U.S. Army. He was killed when his patrol was ambushed with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire in Taza, Iraq, Oct. 18, 2003. He was also the recipient of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart awards.

“Yes, it was a great honor to welcome them [Gold Star Families] aboard,” said Aviation Electrician’s Mate Airman Matthew DeAngelo, who helped coordinate the Gold Star Families’ visit. “No one can ever fully repay these families for what they’ve had to go through. I can only hope this gesture of appreciation by getting underway with us lets them know we’re aware of their losses, and we want to honor them and their sacrifices.”

Finally, Constitution exchanged 21-gun salutes with Fort Independence on Castle Island. Fort Independence is a state park that served as a defense post for Boston Harbor at one time.

Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat and welcomes more than 500,000 visitors a year. For more information on the ship, visit www. history.navy.mil/ussconstitution or www. facebook.com/ussconstitutionofficial.

that day,” said Ferrier.

“That sacrifice opened it up to our dive bombers and they were responsible, really, for the destruction of their four carriers.”

Out of the planes in Ferrier’s squadron, his was the only one to return, but they didn’t return unscathed. Manning was killed and Ferrier was wounded. He held up the baseball cap he was wearing that day, sticking his finger through a bullet hole in the fabric.

“I got hit — which this 70-year-old baseball cap shows — which knocked me out for a short time,” he said. When he came to, Ferrier said he and the pilot were dealing with a heavily damaged aircraft, but Earnest figured out how to overcome the lack of hydraulics.

“He instinctively reached for the trim tab, which gave him control of the plane and he was able to fly through the Japanese fleet,” said Ferrier, who described seeing black smoke rising from Midway Atoll. “As we made our approach he got waved off, but Earnest said he was going around and landing whether they liked it or not.”

A damage assessment on the plane counted 67 machine gun hits and 20

FLAG | FROM PAGE 1

Time to retire Knowing when a flag has flown long enough can sometimes be a matter of personal opinion. What may be acceptable to some may not be to others. In a military community such as Oak Harbor, Little said the flag’s appearance is important and he has been known to approach business owners.

“I’ve seen flags that need to be retired,” he said. “I’ll usually step in and ask to see the manager and ask them to replace it.”

Little said there are others in the community who have strong feelings about the appearance of our nation’s sym-

bol.

“We have a lot of older veterans, from the Korean War or World War II, and those vets get a little passionate about it,” he acknowledged.

Signs a flag is in need of replacement are tattered, frayed ends, seams that are starting to separate or tears in the fabric.

Whidbey Island weather can also be hard on them.

“In winter, I replace my flag about every two months,” Little said. “The wind is really hard on them.”

Proper etiquette Flag Day is also a good reminder there are rules to follow when it comes to displaying Old Glory. Many flag-flying

faux pas are simply because people don’t know the guidelines, especially if they’ve never served in the military.

“Most veterans know better, and usually take care of flags and fly them appropriately,” Little said.

Common mistakes Little said he sees is flying tattered flags, not flying them at half staff when necessary, flying private flags in inclement weather or flying the flag 24 hours a day without proper illumination.

left, and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.

RULES | FROM PAGE 4 Over a sidewalk: The flag may be suspended from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk; the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.

From a horizontal or angled staff: The flag may be projected from the window sill, balcony, or front of a building, with the union of the flag placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at halfstaff.

In a parade with other flags: The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag’s own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.

With non-national flags: The U.S. flag should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.

With other national flags: When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.

With another flag against a wall from crossed staffs: Should be on the right, the flag’s own right which is the viewer’s

From a staff in a church or public auditorium on a podium: The U.S. flag should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman’s or speaker’s right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker (to the right of the audience).

From a staff in a church or public auditorium off the podium: Custom, not the flag code, holds that the U.S. flag should hold the position of superior prominence as part of the audience, in the position of honor at the audience’s right.

To Cover a Casket: The flag should be placed so the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.

Other than being flown from a staff: The flag should be displayed flat, indoors or out. When displayed horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right (to the observer’s left). In a window it should be displayed in the same way, with the union to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.
