When Fort Jackson’s Central Issue Facility moved into Bldg. 2450 during Victory Block Leave it began operations in a struc-ture built to teach Soldiers to become mechanics – while a large open area, it was unsuited to disperse equipment.

The old maintenance bay was tall and wide enough to store the goods Soldiers need, but was crisscrossed with trenches that ��*��%��%� ��^�be reached with equipment and was unused.

��%��G��%��the gap, but they buckled under the forklifts weight. Something had to be done. The call went out and Soldiers from Fort Stew-art, Georgia answered.

“We don’t care where they are, if they can get things done we want them here,” said Dennis Williams, director of the Logistics Readiness Center on Fort Jackson. “At the end of the day we still have to provide the service that is required for the initial entry Soldiers that come here.”

Welders from the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division’s Bravo Company, 703rd Brigade Support Battalion, have been at Fort Jackson since late January creating and laying 145 square feet of ¼ inch steel reinforced with saddles across the gaps to allow forklifts to cross.

Civilian of the Quarter is also MEDDAC Civilian of the Year

Jeffrey Graham, Vision Readiness Chief at the Fort Jackson Optical Fabrication Lab, has been named the Fort Jackson Civilian of the Quarter as well as one of three Medical Activity Employees of the Year.

For nearly 40 years, Jeffrey Graham has served the U.S. Army in some capacity. Graham’s four decades were recently recog-nized as he was named Fort Jackson Civilian of the Quarter. He was also one of three Medical Ac-tivity Employees of the Year.

After enlisting in 1977, he served on active �� (( �� #�� -tillery, transportation and optometry. This last assignment led to his current role at the Fort Jackson Optical Fabrication Lab where he has worked since 2001.

“I started as a technician here and just worked my way up,” Graham explained. “Once you’re a part of the Army Family, you don’t want to leave. Taking care of Soldiers, new recruits, retirees, and Family members provides me with a sense of ��{��^��*{�� G��|

In his current position as Vision Readiness Chief, Graham leads a team who he says are ��}��#��G��|

“Last year alone, we crafted more than 150,000 pairs of glasses,” Graham said. “Those glasses were distributed to Service members, Families, retirees, and other %��"��J��"��|

The lab also provides glasses for Army, Air Force and Navy forces in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Florida, and Indiana. But even those out of state orders are quickly turned around by Graham and his team.

“Any Service member who needs glasses should receive them within three days of us get-ting the order,” he said. “Some places will try to tell you it takes three to six weeks but they’re ab-solutely wrong.”

According to Graham, it’s the efforts of the team at the lab who have made him a success.

“They make great things happen every day, and it’s fair to say that I would not be recognized for anything if they weren’t backing me up.

That attitude, along with his commitment to the Army, is what Graham says drives him every day to do his best.

}W��pair of glasses they’ve ever had,” he said. “It’s important that we provide a superior product.”

Graham also thanked his leadership for the recognition, saying he works for some great peo-ple.

“They’re all supportive of what we do here and are dedicat-ed to making sure we’re recognized for our efforts. It really is quality leadership,” he said.

Boundless energy, optimism constant in Dorn employee

No one enjoys getting shots. But there is one in the midst of the staff and veterans of William Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medi-cal Center who likes to give them, if only to make sure that everyone stays as healthy ��%��G��%��

Health Promotion Disease Prevention Program Manager, Heather Roth, has been �� G�� #�� the 2016-2017 season. From donning her caped crusader attire as Flu-zilla or speak-ing one-to-one with staff and veterans, Roth has worked tirelessly to reach a goal for everyone to be immunized against the ��#��

�#��G��G��*��-paign, Roth is one to be admired by fellow co-workers and veterans alike.

“She is an excellent person and is al-ways helpful,” Danny Davis, retired Army veteran said.

Blue Team social worker Heather Alex-ander also commented on her relationship G��<�� }"��G�� -sons I met when I began working here and her level of enthusiasm is contagious. She is outgoing, yet gracious. Plus we share a common interest in tennis. I have never, ever seen her have a bad day.”

Nursing is in the bloodline for Roth. Both grandmother, Carol Reed, and great

grandmother, Maye Thomas, were nurses. Kathy Cooper, her mother has been a Neo-Natal Intensive Care Nurse. The veteran link comes in the form of her brothers. Andy, is an Air Force veteran while Eric serves as an Army veteran.

Roth’s and her wife Shelby are trans-plants from the Northeast. “Shelby, who

was an attorney in Washington, D.C., got the opportunity to come to the area nine years ago, and we have been here ever since,” Roth said. Of course, their cats Ad-dison and Sophia round out the family.

Baltimore is really where her origins lie, even though she has done tons of over-seas travel. After high school graduation from Randallstown High School, Roth at-tended Elon College in Elon, North Caro-lina, where she received Political Science and Public Administration degrees. She furthered her career at Johns Hopkins Uni-versity in Baltimore.

While overseas in the areas of Haiti, Peru, Bolivian, Kenya and London, Roth was involved in public health research. “It is amazing the spirit the persons that we helped had,” Roth said. “In the face of the diseases they faced, such as HIV, tubercu-losis, malaria, and other tropical diseases that were killing them by them by the thou-sands, their spirits remained positive.”

Having lived in England for a time, Roth and her wife enjoy taking vacations in such places as Turkey, Greece, Croatia, and Montenegro.

But while remaining in the comforts of the local area, Roth enjoys playing tennis and watching Independent movies, espe-cially those that have been rated for an Oscar.

Ramadan begins June 6 this year

Ramadan, the holiest month of the Is-lamic year, begins on June 6. During the month, Muslims around the world will fast during daylight hours, abstaining from food, drink – even water – from 90 minutes before sunrise until sunset.

Ramadan lasts 29 to 30 days, depend-ing on the lunar cycle, which the Islamic calendar is based on. This year, it ends June 25 with the observance of Eid Al-Fitr at the Main Post Chapel, a holy day in which Muslims celebrate the end of the fast with prayers and feasting. Prior to the day of Eid, during the last days of Ramadan, each Muslim family offers a food donation to the poor to ensure that all can participate in the celebration.

Chaplain (Col.) Paul Lasley of the U.S. Army Special Operations Com-mand has an idea that he knows both a believer and skeptic of faith can agree upon.

“Every individual is superlatively strongest in life and maximally resil-ient in life when their own personal spiritual and religious faith is inte-grated and a vibrant part of their life,” he said.

As the guest speaker at Fort Jack-son’s National Prayer Breakfast Feb. 7, he told the crowd full of Army and Navy Service members how this idea translates to military life.

“Soldiers and Families are most ready for any mission when their spir-itual and religious faith is vibrated in every part of their life,” he said. “Re-ligious support activities in the mili-

tary is a critical important component of readiness and resilience.”

“As a Home Health Nurse, I would go to their home resi-dence to see them for the required visit,” Roth begins. “They are so young…and though they have injuries, some visible, some not, they have so much hope. I connected with them �� G�� Veterans have made.”

Donors needed for Feb. 16 marrow driveFrom staff reports

��#��"��-�� !��G��*�W��*-son hopes more than just Soldiers step up to donate to a cause that could save lives.

The 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment is hosting a bone mar-row registry drive from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 16 at Bldg. 4420. Anyone willing and able is encouraged to donate.

Bone marrow is the squishy cen-ter of the larger bones of your body that creates the cells of the human immune system. When someone is diagnosed with blood cancer (leu-kemia or lymphoma) or another disease caused by nonfunctional immune cells, that person can be treated – even saved – with a trans-plant of functional marrow or pe-ripheral blood stem cells.

The functional cells come from a donor – a healthy person willing to provide them and matched to the patient. What makes the donor match a patient? Human leukocyte �� %�� -pressed on the body cells.

"�� * �� matching donor within their family – but most patients do not. The un-��* �� -mous volunteer donor.

The registration drive is being organized in conjunc-tion with the C.W. Bill Young Department of Defense Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program. Named in memory of Congressman C.W. Bill Young, the program educates military and Department of De-

fense employees about becoming volunteer donors, and helps them through the process of donation. When you elect to be a donor through this program, you are mak-ing a promise to help someone at a future date. Not just one person, but any person who needs you and is well-

matched.Joining the registry is the easy

part: Complete a consent form and provide some cheek swabs. The vast majority of registered donors are never called as a match. How-ever, a small number will be called and it is very important that they all understand the seriousness of their commitment.

Just joining the registry is a ma-jor commitment: Once your swab samples are typed, you will remain on the list of potential donors until you reach age 61 or ask to be re-moved.

Donation takes place by one of two methods:

� Traditional marrow donation. You go to a hospital, be anaesthe-tized, and have some of your mar-row cells removed from your hip bone using a large needle.

�@"+��#�days of shots of a drug that causes your bones to release some of these cells into your blood. On the �� #��with an apheresis machine – which

takes blood from one arm, separates out some of the cells, and returns the rest of the blood to the other arm. +��#��*��%��%�� recover fully from either in about two weeks.

For more information, contact Eric Cain, 803-751-5344 or [email protected].

BONE MARROW DONOR REGISTRATION DRIVEWhen: 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Feb. 16Where: 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment classroom, Bldg. 4420, Jackson Blvd.What: To join the national registry of bone marrow and stem cell donors, complete a consent form and cheek swab. It takes about 7 minutes to register.Eligibility: Active duty U.S. military, member of the Reserves, National Guard, Coast Guard, an ID-card-holding family member, or DOD civilian employee. You must be between the ages of 18 and 60 and be in general good health.
