Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533 returned to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Oct. 17 after a sixmonth deployment in support of operations overseas.

During the deployment, the Marines supported combat operations overseas and gained occupational field experience in a forward deployed environment. “It’s good to be back,” said Cpl. William Womble, an admin clerk with VMFA(AW)-533. “It was a long six months,

but it was a fun deployment. We fought for our country; we did our jobs and I am happy the deployment is over.” The returning Marines were greeted by friends and families upon their arrival aboard Fightertown. Even though see

Did you know... October 23, 1983: At 0622 an explosive-laden truck slammed into the BLT headquarters building in Beirut, Lebanon, where more than 300 men were billeted. The massive explosion collapsed the building in seconds, and took the lives of 241 Americans—including 220 Marines. This was the highest loss of life in a single day for Marines since D-Day on Iwo Jima in 1945.

Chaplain’s Corner

What is in a Name? By William Holiman, CDR, CHC, USN Command Chaplain, MCAS Beaufort What is in a name? I would bet that some of us can quote William Shakespeare who wrote the line, “A rose would smell as sweet by any other name.” He meant that names do not matter. Only the character matters. But in the 20th century another writer came along and wrote, “A rose is a rose is a rose.” That writer meant that names and characters go together. When Shakespeare wrote his line he knew that it would turn out that the line would prove false. It is from Romeo and Juliet and it turns out that names really do matter, if you remember reading that play in high school. Many of us have old traditional names with deep meaning. Those names express a hope from our parents, or perhaps we are named after a relative who had that name. My first name, William, means something like “resolute protector” and is a pretty good description of my character. My nature is to protect people and institutions. It is expresses my character. My wife and I have three children and their names are amazingly accurate descriptions of their characters. The oldest is Graham, which means “person who lives in a grey house.” He never wants to go outside. The next is Alan, which means “Cheerful.” He was always a happy camper. The third I will leave out just so you wonder. Pilots usually have a call sign, a name, that expresses something about them, usually something that they did wrong or silly. This article will deal with the old folks used to call our Christian name or these days

simply our first name. You have more names than that, but we will just look at “your name.” I write about this today because in many Christian churches the scripture readings the past few weeks have had something to do with names. In the scripture readings for Christmas there is always something about naming Jesus. The name expresses his mission and character. January 1 is not only New Year’s Day, but it is also Jesus’ name day, the day when he was officially named at his circumcision. Various writers give differing numbers of names and titles for Jesus. One had a list of 200; another had a list of 102 names. All those names express his character, mission and role. Names are important. Many churches have just read a passage from Isaiah 62 about ancient Israel being given a new name. When the land was desolate and the people in despair they had one name, but when God acts for them they get a new name. In the entire Bible people are renamed regularly to express who they are, or something special about them. Pharaoh renamed Joseph. Jesus renames Simon as Peter. We could name many other examples but you get the idea. Names are a big deal. They are who you are. I remember hearing a sermon long ago from the text in Proverbs 22:1 that says: “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” That takes us to whole new level. Not only are our names an expression of who we are, now we see that we can bring honor to

the name we have or we can bring dishonor to that name. So let me ask you, what does your name says about you? What character traits does your name express? I know that these days many people have names that are not traditional and they may not have traditional meanings, but even so Mom and Dad were trying to say something special about you. What were they saying? What hopes are you carrying from them? Your name is not only given to you by your parents, but you also do things with it. When people use your name, what do they do? Do they shudder at the very sound of your name or find strength in it? Do people remember your name and think good things or do they clear their throats after saying it? Does your name say something true and good about you? This is an important topic. All of us are known by name, in the military usually by our last names, but still the first name, that name that is especially yours, is important. It has meaning not only to you and your family but to everyone around you. I do not think that many of spend much time wondering about how our names will be remembered, or how to take care of our names. But we should. Your name is important. So take a moment today and just think, “How do people think of my name?” What do you think of your name? When you leave your section behind in a few years, what scent will your name leave behind? Will it be a good name that is esteemed higher than silver and gold or will be something else. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.

Extraordinary Sacrifice, Exceptional Leadership Story by: Lance Cpl. Ashley Phillips Staff Writer

The sun blazed. Sand blasted everything in its path. A Marine sat in a turret, squinting and looking around for eminent danger. The sound of tactical vehicles made a thunderous sound traversing the dirt terrain. Just as his convoy crested a hill an explosion rocked the earth — and then darkness. In 2009, Sgt. Michael Kane, woke up being tended to in a medical bay at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. He was later told his convoy had been struck by a 30 pound improvised explosive device. With only one month remaining until the end of the deployment, Kane’s fears had finally come true. “We all knew it wasn’t a matter of if, but when we would hit an IED,” said Kane. “All I knew at the time is that the vehicle was still in driving condition. All three of us received grade two concussions. I received the brunt of the blast since I was at the turret.” For the last eight months Kane and his fellow Marines had been providing convoy security. They were returning from a supply delivery to Forward Operating Base Nowzad when they encountered the IED. They weren’t the only vehicles in the convoy to be hit. Seventeen hours earlier four vehicles in the convoy encountered IED’s also. After Kane’s own vehicle exploded he lost consciousness. His convoy continued on to Camp Leatherneck where he and his Marines were taken to the medical bay. “Thirty hours later I wake up and think, ‘Why am I here?’,” said Kane. “I was told I was still up and talking but I just don’t remember it.” For Kane, the events that transpired that day are blurred, but living with the effects of the attack is a clear, everyday reality. Several years later and still dealing with the pain, he finds himself in a familiar environment at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, setting the example for others. Today he works as the pit non-commissioned officer with the fuels section, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron. “When I work with my Marines I make sure they have the knowl-

edge they need to do their job, balance life and responsibilities, and that they have a mentor,” said Kane. “I talk with them a lot about leadership traits. When they have those traits they can be a leader, regardless of their rank.” Everyday Kane leads his Marines by example. Kane is the crew leader for eight Marines at the fuels section. He is there every step of the way in their development. Whether it is physical training or daily work tasks, Kane is present and ready to assist, if necessary. “We might only need three Marines to complete a fueling operation,” said Pfc. Daniel Henkel, a bulk fuels specialist with H&HS. “But you will never see him kick back and make us do all the work. He is right there, supervising and making sure the job gets done.” Kane will be separating from the Marine Corps in the upcoming year, but that does not slow him down. If anything, it motivates him to work harder and to train his Marines to be leaders. He maintains the same level of discipline regardless of his

environment; whether deployed or here, beginning of the work day or the end. “The Marine Corps is all I know,” said Kane. “Sometimes it’s hard to come to work and know this will all be over soon, but I just take it step by step. Even though I am planning for what comes next I still push my Marines to better themselves and think critically.” According to Kane, he is planning on finding employment that will go hand in hand with the landscaping business he plans to own and run. As he prepares to transition out of the Marine Corps, he considers his Marines first and makes plans to provide for his family. Due to the injuries he sustained while on deployment in 2009, he is being considered for the Purple Heart Award. “He’s been through so much and yet he never gives up,” said Henkel. “I want to work like him; serve like him. He puts his Marines before himself. That’s the kind of leader I want to be. I want to leave behind the same kind of legacy.”

Provost Marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Drug Take Back

Photo courtesy safemedicinedisposal.org

The Provost Marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort will provide assistance to Marines, sailors, their family members and civilian personnel in disposing of expired, unused and unwanted prescription medications. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a major-

ity of abused prescription medications are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines-flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash-both pose potential safety and health hazards. Anyone with medication to dispose can do so from 10:00 A.M. -2:00 P.M. on October 22, at the Parris Island Marine Corps Exchange located at 178 Malecon Drive, Parris Island, SC 29905. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

the Marines were in a different time zone and had limited access to phones and computers, they were able to connect with their families in their spare time. Family members and friends sent care packages to their Marines with food, reading materials, video games and any other amenities not available to them during the deployment. “Sometimes we would receive over 100 boxes at a time,” Womble said. “Someone

even sent us some game systems to play. We could hook them up to the TVs and play them if we had any free time after work.” Now that the Hawks are back at the air station, they begin their normal operations and training for their next deployment. MCAS Beaufort squadrons continue to maintain a high level of readiness to support Marine Air Ground Task Forces during joint or combined operations across the globe.

Petty Officer Third Class Michael Keenan greets Cpl. Jim Caines at the opening breakfast for Honor Flight Savannah aboard U.S. Army Garrison, Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, GA, Oct. 14. Keenan served as a journalist in the Navy from 1966-1976 and Caines served as an infantryman in the Marine Corps from 1966-1968. Honor Flight Savannah brings together veterans from World War II, Vietnam and Korea for a trip to visit their war memorials at the National Mall in Washington D.C.

Dale Ashman, a Vietnam War veteran, stands for the playing of the National Anthem during a ceremony for the Savannah Honor Flight aboard U.S. Army Garrison Hunter, Army Airfield, Savannah, GA, Oct. 14. The Honor Flight began with a breakfast and then a formation as the veterans boarded the buses to travel to Washington D.C. Honor Flight Savannah takes veterans to Washington D.C. to visit their war memorials at the National Mall.

“I’ve never had the opportunity to do this before,” said Petty Officer Second Class Silva Raul, leading petty officer with CLC-23. “It’s a humbling experience for us as we give them honors and I think it’s a healing moment for them. This is something I’ve always wanted to experience.” Honor Flight Savannah is a volunteer and donation based organization that takes World War II, Korean and Vietnam War veterans to visit their war memorials in Washington D.C. When the flight began in 2005 veterans traveled to D.C. by plane, but now due to the Honor Flight’s growth, logistically it is easier for them to travel by bus. The group of 50 veterans from all of the country traveled by bus to Washington D.C. For the next two days they visited the war memorials at the national mall. They also visited museums and got a private tour at the Tomb of the Unknown

Soldier. The first ever Honor Flight Savannah departed Savannah with only six veterans in 2008, three of which were from Beaufort. Now the flight has grown, accommodating nearly 400 veterans each year, with the waiting list growing. “Today we have 50 veterans making the trip to Washington D.C.,” said Owen Hand, a board member of Honor Flight Savannah. “These veterans fly from all over the country to participate in this. The great part is that when they arrive here they don’t pay for anything; not even for a cup of coffee.” To keep these trips free for the veterans Honor Flight Savannah depends solely on the donations of private donors, businesses and corporate sponsors. Throughout the year they have various benefit dinners and fundraisers . “We take pride in offering this service free of cost to the veterans who gave so much,” said Hand. “Each day over a thousand WWII

vets are dying; Because of this we prioritize the waiting list based on age or if a veteran has a terminal illness, regardless of what war or conflict they fought in.” For the Marines from MCAS Beaufort this was an opportunity to see and interact with a different generation of service members; to honor the sacrifice of their predecessors. The generation of WWII, Korean and Vietnam War era veterans is rapidly passing and the amount of time left to thank them is waning. “This is the first time I’ve ever gotten to go on one of these honor flights,” said Cpl. retired Jim Caines, an infantry Marine who served from 1966-1968. “It’s good to be able to go and see the memorials, but it’s even better to be able to be here with other veterans and be able to swap stories; one last hoorah.”

VIOLENCE continued from page 1

Domestic violence is the wilful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behaviour acted by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and emotional abuse. According to the National Coalition against Domestic Violence an average of 20 people each minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. That comes out to more than 10 million people a year. Thirty percent of women and 25 percent of men have been victims of physical violence. One in five women and one in seven men have been victims of severe physical abuse nationwide. Around all military installations, there is a Victims Advocate

office and hotline. Victim advocates are considered the first responders for domestic violence. The hotline is manned 24-hours and can supply recourses or support, and educate victims. The VA remains up to date with the laws of the region they are stationed in to ensure the support and recourses provided are correct. Within the victim advocates office are prevention education specialists. Prevention education specialists conduct training and classes to make Marines and civilians aware of the recourses available to them. They teach classes such as anger management, relationship enrichment, and parenting enrichment. The NCADV show that on a daily basis, around 20,000 calls are made to these offices for resources from
