Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Fire and Emergency Services hosted safety events at Charles F. Bolden and Elliott Elementary Schools on Laurel Bay, Oct. 9. The event at Elliott was held to educate the students about fire safety as well as fire prevention techniques in recognition of “National Fire Prevention Week.” Established by President Calvin Coolidge in 1922, each year the week has a different theme with this year’s being “Look, Listen and Learn.” Students learned skills ranging from proper kitchen safety procedures to proper evacuation routes in case of a house fire. “Events like this are important for school-aged children,” said Joseph Otterbine, the lead fire inspector for MCAS Beaufort and Laurel Bay. “It’s crucial that we instill proper safety procedures at a young age because these types of accidents can happen anywhere at any time.” After the assembly, MCAS Beaufort fire fighters gave stusee fire page 7

Roots and Reunion: Bineyard-Finley Family Reunion Story and photos by Cpl. Ashley Phillips
For anyone who has ever spent time aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, amidst the buzz of flight operations, pilot training centers, runways and even nature trails, you may find it odd to see cemeteries, tucked away in quiet corners of the base. These seemingly out of place grounds are a vital part of the history and even more importantly, have brought together long lost family members. The efforts of a few dedicated researchers and genealogists have preserved history, and breathed new life into the history of an entire family, bringing them together for the first ever Bineyard-Finley family reunion. Kimberly Morgan and Akosua Moore hosted and organized a three-day reunion for the descendants of Stephen Bineyard, whose grave is at Edgerly Cemetery aboard the air station. The family reunion began with a meet and greet, Oct. 5 at a hotel in Beaufort, South Carolina. The second day of the event was held aboard the air station. Nearly 100 family members from all over the country gathered for a cookout and were given the opportunity to visit Edgerly Cemetery. The last day of the reunion was held at the Tabernacle Baptist Church where Morgan and Moore gave a history and genealogy presentation about the Bineyard-Finley family. The Bineyard-Finley reunion is the product of years of research by Morgan and Moore. For Morgan, it began nearly 14 years ago during a walk. She and a friend were walksee family, page 4

Family members embrace each other during the Bineyard-Finley family reunion aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Oct. 6. Though many attending the reunion knew each other previously, some were meeting for the first time. Through research and genealogy tests, Kimberly Morgan and Akosua Moore were able to reach out to long lost family members online and invite them to the reunion. Guests flew from as far as Seattle to meet their family members and to learn about their family history.

In 2015 Kimberly Morgan worked with the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Cultural Resources and Preservation Office to have a historic marker made for the grave site of Stephen Bineyard. The base paid for the sign to be made and also had a team of archaeologists use ground penetrating radar technology to locate the others that were buried at the same site. Some didn’t have markers but Stephen’s did because the government provided it to his family for his military service in the Union Army.
Family members play during the Bineyard-Finley family reunion aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Oct. 6. The reunion lasted three days, featuring a meet and greet dinner, a seafood cookout, and a history and genealogy presentation. The entire event was coordinated by Akosua Moore and Kimberly Morgan. During one of the days Moore and Morgan took small groups to the Edgerly Cemetery. The group above are Bineyard-Finley descendants and this was the first time they visited the cemetery.
FAMILY
ing on a path just behind the Bachelor Officer’s Quarters aboard MCAS Beaufort. Based on a hunch they ventured off the path and into the woods. What they discovered set into motion countless discoveries and a new passion for uncovering an entire family’s history. “We went into the woods with a machete and found an aged, old tombstone that read: Stephen Bineyard, USCT,” Morgan said. “That was the start of my journey. Who was Stephen Bineyard, and why was he buried seemingly alone in the woods by a parking lot? My background was in criminal justice and I approached it like a cold case.” For Moore, her curiosity began with her Mema’s storytelling. She was enraptured by the stories of three-time great grandmother, Dorcas Finley. According to her Mema, Dorcas Finley was born into slavery in Beaufort, but in 1863 after the Emancipation happened, Finley marched to Charleston and freedom with her baby in her arms. “For years, both Akosua and I worked on filling in the details of these stories,” Morgan said. “We each had different puzzle pieces of information—family stories for her, just a name for me. We both spent hours and hours searching for literal needles in haystack.” It seems strange that these two women living separate lives, one searching for a name on a tombstone and the other researching based on her family’s oral history would cross paths during their research. According to Akosua, she posted a note on an online message board in 2008. Morgan found that post years later, in 2013. “She’d been researching Stephen Bineyard for over a decontinued from page 1
cade,” Moore said. “Stephen Bineyard was Dorcas Finley’s brother!” As Morgan recalls it, she and Moore spent hours on the phone when they first talked and made plans to meet. Moore’s family made the trip to MCAS Beaufort, where Morgan showed them Stephen Bineyard’s burial site. She also showed Moore the binders of research she had compiled and the two women discovered they had been researching in very similar ways. Their research also complimented each other well, filling in gaps that the other was missing. “Originally, the land where the air station sits was made up of three plantations, one of which was Edgerly Plantation,” said Morgan. “In November 1861, the Union Army advanced into Beaufort after easily taking a nearby fort on Hilton Head Island. The white citizens of Beaufort, primarily wealthy plantation owners, panicked. They hastily packed a few bags and promptly fled town, leaving behind their homes, a cotton crop ripe to pick and basically the entire population roughly 10,000 enslaved persons in the town.” According to Morgan, Stephen Bineyard was born around 1840 on Edgerly Plantation and enlisted in the Union Army after the slave owners fled. The Union Army set up a headquarters in Beaufort. Beaufort became the testing grounds of re-entering the newly emancipated citizens back into society. They enlisted, opened bank accounts, and went to school. Northern missionaries and educators came to Beaufort and coordinated with the Union Army. “In 1866 Bineyard returned to Beaufort and married his
high school sweetheart,” Morgan said. “After this Stephen was among hundreds of newly freed men of African descent who, after the Civil War ended, purchased almost a third of the 102,000 acres of confiscated land in Beaufort.” Based on witness accounts, Morgan says that in 1882, a week before Christmas, Stephen fell overboard and drowned while loading lumber into a boat. The military provided him with a headstone for his service and it was placed where it can be seen today. “In 2015, I worked with the MCAS Beaufort Cultural Resources and Preservation office,” Morgan said. “We were able to convince the base commander to approve a beautiful historic marker for the Edgerly Cemetery.” Throughout their research process, Morgan and Moore were able to track down and reach out to many of the descendants of Dorcas Finley and Stephen Bineyard. Through DNA tests and ancestry search engines, many of these family members were able to travel to MCAS Beaufort to learn their family history and meet each other. For three days they celebrated, shared and learned together. “The journey to find out who you are, where you come from and find your roots can be sparked in many ways,” Moore said. “Even if you aren’t necessarily that interested in your family’s genealogy right now, please talk to your elders: your grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts and uncles. Ask them questions, write down their stories, label old photos and record them talking. This is our history and we need to preserve it.”

Man of Pure Heart and Honor A birthday celebration for Medal of Honor recipient

Brig. Gen. Bradley S. James, commanding general of 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, presents a slice of cake to retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 Hershel “Woody” Williams, the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from the Battle of Iwo Jima, during Williams’ 95th birthday party at the National World War II Museum, Oct. 2. Williams enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve in 1943 and served in the Battle of Iwo Jima with 21st Marines, 3rd Marine Division in 1945. Story and photos by Lance Cpl. Tessa Watts A birthday celebration was held at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans on Oct. 2, 2018 for retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 Hershel “Woody” Williams, the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from the Battle of Iwo Jima. A man with bright eyes and heartwarming laughter, 95 years old never looked so youthful. Williams watched as his brothers were drafted into the U.S. Army and decided he wanted to become a U.S. Marine. He enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve in 1943 and retired after approximately 17 years of service. “I joined the Marine Corps primarily because I knew nothing about the Marine Corps,” Williams said. “I was totally uneducated about the armed forces. The Marines were always very sharp, neat, polite, treated women very respectfully, and it caught my eye.” Williams joined the Corps with the ambition to protect the country he called home. Little did he know, he would end up on enemy territory fighting for the freedom he loved so dearly. “I thought that we would stay right here in the United States of America to protect our country and our freedom, so nobody could take this country away from us,” Williams said. “In boot camp, I was being trained by individuals who had been in combat. They were teaching us that if we
were going to win, if we were going to survive, we had to fight a war.” A boy from West Virginia working on a farm, Williams underwent the same honorable transformation endured by those before him and those after him; becoming a U.S. Marine headed overseas to enemy territory to defend his country. “In boot camp, a person’s life completely changes,” Williams said. “From the time they arrive to the time they graduate, they become a new person. There is a spirit created within us that I cannot explain. It makes you so proud to be a Marine.” Every Marine a rifleman, Williams had another asset that made him valuable to the Marine Corps and the war effort. He was selected to carry and use a flamethrower during World War II. “Naturally, we were all trained to be a rifleman first,” Williams said. “I was selected to be in a special weapons unit with a demolition flamethrower. Flamethrowers were being used a lot in the Pacific because of caves, and on Iwo Jima there were many reinforced concrete pillboxes that bazookas, artillery, and mortars couldn’t affect.” Little did he know, his actions with that flamethrower would earn him the Medal of Honor on Oct. 5, 1945 for his heroic actions during the Battle of Iwo Jima. “At that point in time, I did not understand what I was receiving,” Williams said. “I had never heard of the Medal of Honor. I didn’t even know such a thing existed.
As far as I was concerned, I was just doing what I was trained to do at Iwo Jima. That was my job. It wasn’t anything special.” After receiving the Medal of Honor at the White House in Washington, D.C., Williams was called upon to speak to the 18th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Alexander Archer Vandegrift. A conversation of a lifetime, something very specific stuck with Williams despite the fear of speaking to a man known to never crack a smile. “When the commandant spoke to me, much of what he said I do not recall because I was too scared,” Williams said as he laughed. “One of the things he did say that registered and has never escaped me
is ‘that medal does not belong to you. It belongs to all of those Marines that never got to come home. Don’t ever do anything that would tarnish that medal.’ I remember those words very well.” Williams joined the Marine Corps with a pure heart, dedicated to perform his duty to his country. Those duties ended up being significant enough to earn himself the Medal of Honor. A hero in the eyes of many, when he looks in the mirror he sees a man who was simply doing his job and caring for the fellow Marines around him. With the distant gaze of a mind recalling nostalgic memories, “We were just Marines looking out for each other,” Williams said.
