What began as a standard awards ceremony quickly turned into the surprise of a lifetime.

Maj David Strawbridge, Air Force Special Operations Command reserve intelligence officer, was pre-sented the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Afghanistan by U.S. Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, April 17.

But that is not where this story ends.

Strawbridge, a Delaware na-tive, spent most of his childhood years listening to his uncle, Francis Weaver, an Army technician dur-ing WWII reminisce about his time in the military and wondered why Weaver had not received any type of recognition.

After spending many years try-ing to track down information about his uncle, Strawbridge was able to witness Weaver, receive a series of medals from his time in the service - 70 years later.

According to military records, Weaver entered the U.S. Army in 1944 at Fort Dix, N.J., and upon graduation from basic training he was sent to Harlingen, Texas to train as a door gunner for the B-24 Lib-erator. Shortly after, he was pulled to train in the infantry to be part of the Japanese invasion force.

“His time in the Army Air Corps and the Army was short, but also very important,” said Strawbridge. “He was part of the 23rd Infantry Division, also known as the Ameri-cal Division, and was sent on a boat to Japan, but stopped in the Philip-pines first to clear out the remain-ing Japanese forces on the islands. He told me the story of how he and another guy were out on patrol in Cebu and they had three Japanese soldiers surrender to them.”

In 2011, Strawbridge began his journey to track the medals his un-cle never knew he earned 70 years ago, but this proved to be no easy task.

“I uploaded the necessary docu-ments online and received a rejec-tion letter because they thought he was deceased,” said Strawbridge. “Another rejection letter said to

send in his DD Form 214, —well they didn’t have those back then; and then I found out that there was a fire at the military records deposi-tory in St Louis in 1973. I just kept hitting wall after wall.”

In January 2013, Strawbridge was hit with a stroke of luck when he met Coons while in Kabul, Afghanistan.

“He was at ISAF HQ [Interna-tional Security Assistance Force headquarters] and we were both excited to see another person from Delaware so we exchanged e-mail addresses,” Strawbridge said, who kept in contact with the senator af-ter their meeting in Afghanistan.

Upon his return from deploy-ment, Strawbridge reached out to Coon’s office and asked for their as-sistance. They were able to gather enough documentation to officially issue Weaver’s medals.

After speaking to the senator,

both agreed that the presen-tation ceremony for Straw-bridge would be the perfect time to surprise Weaver with his medals.

Unbeknownst to Weav-er, immediately after his nephew was presented his Bronze Star medal, he would be up next to receive his long overdue medals.

Completely caught off guard, Weaver made his way to the stage.

“This was a big surprise, big surprise,” said Weaver, wiping away tears. “I had no idea what was going on.

When I landed in Seattle to come home off the boat and caught a train home, there were no medals. We just came home, and that was it.”

Coons presented Weaver with five medals - the Good Conduct Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, WWII Victory Medal, and the Philippine Liberation Medal for his exemplary service as a member of the 23rd Infantry Division from 1944 to 1946.

“One of the most satisfy-

ing parts of this job is be-ing able to help America’s veterans receive the honors that they have earned and that they so richly deserve,” said Coons.

Not only was Weaver stunned by such a wonder-ful surprise, Strawbridge was as well.

“This was an incredible honor to have uncle Franny get all of his recognition and awards,” said Strawbridge. “I expected one or two. I did not expect the ‘bling’ that he is wearing now which is well deserved.”

No matter where he is in life, every April 24, Richard “Taco” Sanchez can be found at the same place — with his Air Force brothers remem-bering the men they lost in the Iranian desert.

“When you bury your friends, guys you’ve been with forever, you never forget them,” the 60-year-old said.

On April 24, 1980, eight service members were killed during Operation Eagle Claw, a failed attempt to rescue Americans being held hos-tage in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Two aircraft crashed in one of the landing areas killing five Hurlburt Field air-men and three Marines.

Every year since, San-chez and men who partici-pated in the mission gather for a memorial to remember their fallen comrades.

“It’s saddening,” said Ret. Staff Sgt. J.J. Beyers, after Thursday’s ceremony at Hurlburt. The 71-year-old was on the C-130 that burst into flames during the crash. “I just got to the point where I don’t cry anymore.”

Even still, Beyers strug-gled to hold back the tears remembering that day.

When he emerged from

the wreckage, his body was on fire. His fellow airmen threw him to the ground and rolled him in the dirt to put out the flames. His hands were severely burned, and he wasn’t expected to live.

But, he did.“Still to this day, I don’t

know why,” he said. “I was inches away from the pilot. I survived and he didn’t and I just can’t figure that out.”

The men were tasked with the risky job of land-ing in the desert to drop off

ground troops being sent in to raid the compound and rescue the hostages. The mission was aborted early on and as two of the aircraft were leaving the landing site, they crashed into each other.

Sanchez said he is confi-dent the men did everything they could given the state of the military at the time, which was right after pulling out of the Vietnam War.

“It failed, but it wasn’t be-cause we didn’t do the best

we could do,” he said.After the men returned

home, the mission was meticulously studied and is credited with leading to the birth of the modern-day U.S. joint special operations program. Sanchez said that makes the day one of mixed emotions for him.

“Out of that tragedy came the best special operators in the world, what these kids are doing today is amazing,” he said. “Out of the ashes, come the angels.”

DeStin.— Meghan Jaquez and Mi-chelle Biegalski were strangers before this week, but now the two young mili-tary widows are finishing each other’s sentences.

They are bound by grief, the common experience of losing their loved ones.

The pair – Jaquez from Crestview and Biegalski from Navarre – are among 37 women at a retreat recently at the Emer-ald Grande in Destin.

It’s sponsored by the Tragedy Assis-tance Program for Survivors, a Washing-ton, D.C.-based organization providing care to the families of fallen military members. The retreat offers five days of companionship, spa treatments and beach fun for the women who have lost so much.

“We just really believe that healing comes from meeting others who are go-ing through similar situations,” said Erin Jacobsen, senior manager of TAPS re-

treats. “It’s very therapeutic to be outside and be using your body. ... It’s also a great way to get to know each other.”

nAVArre — Retired Maj. Ruben Patterson says he has only God to thank for his long life.

The 90-year-old is a vet-eran of World War II, the Ko-rean War, and the Vietnam War.

“I’m not a hero,” Patter-son said. “I was merely doing my job.”

Patterson, who prefers to be referred to as a “survi-vor,” said he could have been killed almost as easily during training as in actual battles.

And there were plenty of close calls over the years.

In one of his more dan-gerous battles in World War II, the German military had set up a barrage around a bridge American forces were trying to destroy.

As they flew through, three planes in front of Pat-terson’s were shot down. They watched the wings break off.

“If I get 12 more tough missions, I’m either a POW or a dead duck,” Patterson remembers thinking.

The missions toned down for Patterson, and in 1945, he was honorably discharged. He spent two years working as a high school coach, but felt drawn back to the Air Force.

“I wanted to make it my career,” Patterson said. “I wanted to fly.”

In North Korea, he flew 76 missions without radar, GPS, or “any of the good stuff that came later,” Patterson said. A red flashlight and a map got them around mountains to reach their drop zones.

One night, as they headed to a particular zone, shells

slightly bigger than softballs started flying at their plane.

One took off their antennae.

“That’s how close we came to getting it that night,” Patterson said.

Despite the close calls, Patterson stuck to his path, serving 23 years in active service. He’s lived in or vis-ited almost every country in the northern hemisphere.

“I spent more than half my time living out of a B-4 bag,” Patterson said.

He has logged 7,000 hours of flying time on 20-plus dif-ferent aircraft. He is deco-rated with 40 or so military declaration and medals, in-cluding the Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross.

Patterson currently lives with his family in Navarre. He spends his days keep-ing up with current events and regaling his family with stories from his military exploits.

In a different life, however, Patterson said he would have stuck to being an educator.

He’s written several pa-pers he’d like published in Reader’s Digest. He also prides himself on his knowl-edge of wars from a number of different eras.

“There’s no glory in war,” Patterson said. “War is nothing but death and destruction.

“You can glorify it all you want to, but there’s no glory in it.”

A retired Army ser-geant first class living in Northeast El Paso, Texas, says he and his wife will stop shopping on Fort Bliss if the Department of Defense, as planned, al-lows commissary prices to climb within 10 percent of local grocers.

“I am not the only one here who thinks the same way,” said Louis Linde-mann. “By the time we pay for gas alone, we could go to the local Albertson’s or the Walmart food store around the corner. The commissary already has a number of items we can purchase cheaper on the economy.”

His email arrived mo-ments after I had conclud-ed a phone interview with retired Army Major Gen. Richard E. Beale Jr., for-

mer direc-tor of the Defense Commis-sary Agen-cy (DeCA), who be-lieves Lin-demann is correct.

So many re-

tirees, Reserve and Guard members and even active duty families would stop shopping on base, if DoD is allowed to slash com-missary budgets, that the entire military resale sys-tem would be at risk, Beale said.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, backed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wants DeCA’s annual ap-propriation of $1.4 billion cut to $400 million by 2017.

Average shopper savings of 30 percent would fall to 10 percent as commissar-ies become self-supporting like the military exchange systems.

Beale, who led DeCA from 1992 to 1999 both as an officer and as the agency’s first civilian direc-tor, said such a deep cut is enormously risky.

“The role of the dice is not just on whether the commissaries will survive, it’s whether the entire sys-tem can survive,” including exchanges and the on-base quality-of-life programs that exchange profits now support.

“I certainly understand the predicament in which our civilian and military leaders find themselves,” Beale said to begin our interview. With defense

budgets squeezed and automatic cuts threatened if Defense officials don’t identify enough cuts on their own, “there are no good choices.”

However, Beale said, leaders are mistaken to assume commissaries can be converted into self-supporting stores and still offer discounts that at-tract enough customers to sustain a low-cost grocery benefit.

“What makes the com-missary benefit are the ap-propriated dollars,” Beale said, urging me to under-score the point. “And every dollar you take away from the appropriation is a dol-lar out of service members’ pockets.”

Defense officials believe by 2017 they will only need $400 million a year for com-

missaries, to transport goods to stores overseas and to subsidize stores in remote stateside locations. Otherwise, stores can op-erate on their own if prices are raised, and average savings lowered, from 30 percent to 10.

What they overlook, Beale said, is how criti-cal robust commissary savings are to exchange operations. Traditionally, 35 to 45 percent of exchange shoppers are enticed to shop on base by commis-sary savings, where food prices are set at cost plus a five percent surcharge.

If those prices climb 20 percent to be able to pay staff salaries and other costs, not only would the number of commissary patrons fall sharply but also exchanges would see

their businesses plummet, Beale predicted.

“Can you put commis-saries on a cost-recovery basis using a business model like the exchanges and JC Penny and Walmart? In theory yes,” Beale said. “In reality the answer probably is no.”

The big reason is pa-trons won’t accept it.

“Every dollar you take away from the appro-priation has to be paid by someone. That someone, in this case, is the patron,” Beale said, “because DeCA has no other way of raising revenue.”

Without hefty savings, many retirees, Guard and Reserve personnel and even active duty families living far from base have

little incentive to drive past their local supercenters and grocery stores to shop on base.

Another reason the idea is risky, Beale said, is that as food discounts narrow and sales drop, commissary suppliers will raise product prices to try to offset lost profits.

Beale recalled that while he was DeCA direc-tor, the agency also was un-der enormous pressure to reduce its appropriations. That’s when it began using a nationwide estimate of average shopper savings to tout the benefit.

“The notion of 30 per-cent savings on groceries for the military community was a useful sound bite, slogan, bumper sticker and rally cry,” he said. But “it has now created a percep-tion of a standard which can be trimmed with mini-mum consequences.”

The 30-percent sav-ings estimate is derived by comparing DeCA’s Basic

Ordering Agreement price points, as offered by suppli-ers, with pricing strategies used by grocery chains. But what commissary shoppers actually save var-ies widely by region based on local food prices, Beale explained.

“For example, in my last year at DeCA when the published national savings exceeded 29 percent, the Southern Region savings were in the low 20’s where-as in the Northwest-Pacific region savings were in mid-30’s. And so it went across the country,” Beale said.

More than half of active duty forces and retired military live between Tide-water, Va., and East Texas, he said, where actual com-missary savings are “much lower than the published national average. I have maintained that position personally since I was the director. Publicly, I stuck with the party line. In retro-spect, that may have been a mistake.”

It means that if commis-sary prices are allowed to pop by 20 percent over the next three years, shoppers in the south and southeast are likely to see their dis-counts from shopping on base all but disappeared.

“Basing budget deci-sions for DeCA, and the

welfare of service mem-bers, on an average na-tional commissary savings figure is about as useless as trying to calculate an average supplement for basic housing allowances by relying upon a single na-tionwide figure for cost of housing,” Beale said.

And so a figure used for the last 15 to 20 years to help justify the commissary benefit is now used to jus-tify reducing it, he said.

A better figure for lead-ers to weigh today might be “one quarter of one percent of the defense budget.” That’s all that’s needed, he

said, to preserve a benefit the U.S. military has en-joyed, in some form, for the past 189 years.
