Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7292 rededicates MIA/POW memorial table
By JANIS REID
For those gathered at the Oak Harbor Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 Friday, Sept. 20 it was all about remembering.
“We remember those who gave their lives in service to our nation and to protect the freedoms we enjoy today,” said NAS Whidbey Command Chaplain Lt. Tim Loney, who spoke at the event. “Let us not forget their sacrifice.”
The rare rededication ceremony to the post’s POW/MIA memorial table brought a a tear to the eye of more than one veteran. Forty-one years to the date of the event, Sept. 20, Lt. Cmdrs. Harry Mossman and Roderick Lester of Oak Harbor launched from the deck of the USS Kitty Hawk to fulfill and
mission in Vietnam from which they never returned.
“I had the immense honor of participating in the memorial ceremony on Aug. 30, 2004, as the repatriated remains of Lt. Cmdr. Harry Mossman were finally buried at the Tahoma National Cemetery,” Loney said. “It took over 30 years before his family could say their goodbyes and quit wondering what had happened to Lt. Cmdr. Harry Mossman.”
For this reason, Oak Harbor’s VFW post felt it important to rededicate its thoughts and efforts toward military and first responders who are MIA/POW.
The simple, round table is a physical reminder of any service-man or woman who has not yet come home.
“We have to remember because we have been there,” said organizer said Myron Brundage, Sr. vice commander of the post and a Vietnam vet.
Post Cmdr. Cecil Pierce said the VFW normally has a small ceremony, but that this year’s was planned to be “up a notch” as a unique experience for local veterans.
“It’s a first for the post as far as I know,” Pierce said.
Unlike previous years the post is rededicating each symbolic item on the table and adding a few new elements to the event.
Like previous years, the event also remembered one of their own, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who has been a prisoner of war since June 30, 2009, when he was captured in Afghanistan by members of the Haqqani network.
However the location of the table was changed, a “quarter deck” style red carpet was rolled out, a bell-ringing ceremony was added and the items included on the table were brought in
individually by the VFW Riders.
“The moment we forget out history we repeat it,” said Myron Brundage, Sr. vice commander and organizer of the special event. “Everyone that goes overseas should come back.”
While each branch of the service has its own unique inter-pretation of the table’s symbols, they are all essentially the same, providing small remembrances of the country’s prisoners of war and missing in action servicemen and women, Brundage said.
The table is set for one, symbolizing a prisoner’s solitude. The tablecloth is white for the purity of their service. The single red rose calls to mind the families awaiting the return of their loved one. The candle is lit symbolizing the unconquerable spirit.
Lemon and salt are on the plate reminding of their bitter fate and the salt of their families’ tears.
The glass is inverted because they cannot toast, and the chair is empty because they are not here. Two members of the state Honor Guard assisted with the ceremony, Keith Waldridge and Darrell Small, along with the Patriot Guard Riders who provided a flag line, with flags courtesy of the Oak Harbor Lion’s Club.
“People who are killed in action, and POW and MIA … how can you better define your love for your country?” Brundage said.
The ceremony also featured a “missing man” hat ceremony with six places set for each branch of the military and civilian first responders.
When asked why he believes remembering is so important, Brundage fought back a tear and said, “How can you not?”

This month has been a month of remem-brance and thanks.
I’ve had the pleasure of attending a number of events this last month that remind us of sacrifices made, lives lost and history that shouldn’t be forgotten.
At the Patriot Day ceremony, we remem-bered those who lost their lives during the ter-rorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and last year’s attack on a U.S. diplomat.
At the POW/MIA rededication ceremony, I observed the need for the fortunate survivors and all Americans to remember those who have never made it home.
On a brighter note, I observed a community giving thanks to the local military community with an annual picnic, providing free food, music and camaraderie.
This year has been one of divisiveness where the Navy’s presence here, and the operations it performs, have taken center stage.
Whatever side of the debate you fall on, it is my hope that we, as a community, will never lose sight of the reality of having an active and successful military pres-ence.
I hope the remembrance of the fallen, of those missing in action, of those first respond-ers who died saving lives, will bring us some perspective.
It is also my hope that this perspective will inform our public comment and the way we treat each other, which should be always as a single community of grateful Americans.

By JANIS REIDOrganizers of the second annual Veteran’s Day Parade are
still seeking volunteers to carry flags and help with the setup. The event will be held 2 p.m. Nov. 9 and is estimated to last 45 minutes. The parade is the brainchild of local veteran Terry Lacey, who attended a similar event, and decided Oak Harbor should have one.
“In 2011, I participated in the Burlington Veterans Day Parade and immediately asked ‘why don’t we have a veterans day parade’ in Oak Harbor and no one seemed to have an answer other than ‘the weather in November,’” Lacey said.
“Our veterans did not stop protecting our freedom because of the weather so why not celebrate Veterans Day to remember all veterans who have served, are serving or retired regardless of the weather conditions?”
Parade route will run west from Midway Boulevard and Pioneer Way to Highway 20 ending in front of Ace Hardware.
Veteran’s Day Parade participation is limited to veteran groups or special invitation groups such as bands, ROTC or other groups as agreed by the Veterans Day Event Committee Staff. Places in the parade will be assigned on the day of the parade.
Similar to last year, the parade will include approximately 50 fallen hero banners featuring the name and face of a local fallen serviceman or woman.
The grand marshal of this year’s parade will be Olga Belevich (Bel) Evans, who served as an Army Air Corps Flight Nurse, during World War II. Evans as one of only 1,514 army flight
nurses in the country’s history. She served for two years, one month, and 13 days from July 1, 1943 until Aug. 13, 1945, and was issued an Honorable Service Lapel Button when she was discharged as a first lieutenant.
“As a first generation American, mom was very proud to serve in the United States Army Air Corps, as a flight nurse during
World War II. She is so pleased to have been selected to be the 2013 Grand Marshal of Oak Harbor’s Veteran’s Day Parade,” said her daughter Deborah Dinger. “She will once again, don her uniform with great pride.”

37th ANNUAL
October 4-6
Nearly 50 veterans rode bicycles
throughout Whidbey Island to build camaraderie and promote better health.
The Soldiers Ride, which is orga-nized by the Wounded Warrior Project, gathered 45 veterans of vari-ous riding abilities at Fort Casey State Park Sept. 20 for the 18-mile ride. After a quick warm-up, rid-ers enjoyed seeing pristine views of the prairies and farms that are contained within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. They also enjoyed a ride along the shore-
line at Ebey’s Landing and rode through historic Coupeville during their adventure that lasted for sev-eral hours on a crisp, cool, sunny morning. They ended their ride at Keystone Harbor located next to Fort Casey.
The Central Whidbey tour was the first of a two-day stop for the Soldiers Ride.
Shana Gibbs, event manager for the Wounded Warrior project, cited several benefits for the veterans who participate in the rides. The ride helps promote the physical health of the wounded veterans participating in the ride. Because the entourage travels as fast as the slowest rider of the group, it provides a way for participants to support one another.
“Riders really engage with each other and cheer each other on,” Gibbs said.
The participants were escorted by
two police officers on bicycles and another in a car through the route.
Estavan Rojas traveled from Greenfield, Calif. to participate in the Seattle Soldiers Ride that included the visit to Whidbey. The weekend event marked the second Soldiers Ride he’s participated in.
Rojas was a Marine from 2001-2005 who served in the infantry dur-ing the Iraq War. He was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. He said the rides have helped him deal with the disorder and resolve the anxiety, isolation and depression he endured.
He learned about the Soldier Ride during his treatment and traveled to San Diego last February to partici-pate in his first ride.
Rojas added the rides build a spirit of camaraderie among the partici-pants and he’s surprised that he’s encountered other members from his
squad from the Marine Corp. The Ebey’s Landing tour was the first part of a two-day trip for the riders.
Gibbs said Central Whidbey was selected because the route is nice and flat and will benefit the cyclers who are novices. The second day of the journey takes place on San Juan Island and features more hills. Riders will have to work with each more to
complete the 18-mile journey on the second day.
The Wounded Warrior Project holds 17 Soldier Rides throughout the year. The Soldier Ride has vis-ited Whidbey Island twice in recent years.

ACTIVE DUTY
By JANIS REIDOak Harbor hosted its 13th
annual Military Appreciation Picnic Sept. 7, although a little morning rain seemed to dampen the event’s usual turnout.
Still, the event saw steady traffic from area military families and residents who enjoyed free hot dogs from 7-Eleven, free frozen yogurt from Toppins and many other donations of time and prod-ucts from Coupeville and Oak Harbor businesses and individuals.
Capt. Mike Nortier, com-manding officer at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, expressed gratitude from the Naval community Monday for the ongoing support and partnership of Oak Harbor.
“The picnic is one small token of the community sup-port,” Nortier said. “Oak Harbor and Naval Air Station Whidbey Island enjoy an enduring sense of community partnership, which can be seen daily across the city from support in the Oak Harbor School system for military families and deployments, to the dramatic outpouring of support from the com-munity following the loss of three crewmembers in March, to sailors and their families volunteering and support-ing charities and civic events throughout the year.”
Nortier stressed the need for the island to continue to think and operate as a team.
“Team Whidbey is not just a motto, but a spirit that we all live and breathe, whether mil-itary or civilian,” Nortier said. “On behalf of a grateful Navy, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and all of our sailors and their families, I would like to thank the community for the military appreciation picnic.”
The event is put on by the Navy league each year to bring
the community together and remind them that Oak Harbor is not two communi-ties, but one, said Oak Harbor Navy League President Jim Slowik.
Slowik, who helped plan the event, said that the weath-er “slowed picnic goers” but the skies opened up just in time for a great event run by more than 100 volunteers.
“It’s important in a lot of ways,” Slowik said. “It’s the glue that fills between the spaces. This community is truly a combined community of Navy and civilian. The pic-nic is a good way to show that.”
Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kathy Reed said the community response to the event was “fantastic.”
Reed said there were plenty of food left over to go to the North Whidbey Help House, and water will be kept for future charitable organiza-tions.
Toppins Frozen Yogurt donated more than $1,200 worth of yogurt to the event, Reed said.
“Attendance was down due to the morning weath-er, but overall the event was well attended,” Reed said. “Everyone had a great time, food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a bet-ter day. We wanted to let the military know how important they are to us.”
In efforts to involve Coupeville residents in the picnic, Shelli Trumball of Cascade Insurance took charge to acquire beverages for the event including water, juice boxes and soda.
The Town of Coupeville has taken some flak in recent months after a Coupeville-area citizens group filed a law-suit against the Navy protest-ing the jet noise at Outlying
Field Coupeville.
Trumball said she and other Coupeville businesses joined forces with local cham-bers of commerce to show
their support for the Navy.“Not everyone in
Coupeville is against the military or OLF,” Trumball said. “This is our way of showing our support.”
Oak Harbor shows support with annual picnic

Despite early sprinkling and clouds, the afternoon cleared up and provided a perfect backdrop to the day’s festivities.

By JANIS REIDSeventy-five sailors sta-
tioned at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station assumed the duties and responsibities of a chief petty officer at a pin-ning ceremony Sept. 13.
The 75 NAS Whidbey chiefs were among more than 200 sailors stationed in the Pacific Northwest participat-ing in similar pinning ceremo-nies on or in the surrounding communities of Naval Base Kitsap and Naval Station Everett, honoring a 120-year naval tradition of the chief petty officer.
“It’s all about brotherhood,” said Senior Chief Electricians Mate Rowell Ducay, Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center, Puget Sound. “The main thing of being a chief is that we are put here to make a difference for
our sailors.”
Upon receiving news of their promotion in August, the new chiefs immediately starting participating in phase two of a process designed to prepare them for the duties and responsibilities of a CPO.
“NBK and Navy Region Northwest have the CPO 365 training down. They really taught all of us a great deal during this process,” said Chief Legalman Dana Martinez, Region Legal Service Office.
Throughout phase two, new chiefs were mentored by current chiefs and learned lessons in leadership and on naval history as well as the heritage of the CPO commu-nity. During this process they also participated in multiple community relations projects.
During the ceremonies, the selects were pinned by family and friends, and received their chief combination cover from their chief sponsor.
“It’s an awesome feeling. It’s an honor to a part of the chief ’s mess, and to be finally recognized for all my hard work and all my sailor’s hard work,” said Chief Master at Arms Brennon McClure.
Navy Region Northwest Command Master Chief Brian Schell ended the cer-emony by reading the guiding principles to the new chiefs.
“I am proud and very pleased to welcome these new chiefs into our chiefs mess,” said Schell. “I really want the new chiefs to know, embrace and live by the guiding prin-ciples that I just read and if they do that, they will be a great chief.”

By JANIS REIDThe sound of jet noise behind
Wednesday’s 9/11 Memorial seemed appropriate to Capt. Mike Nortier, com-manding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
“That is the sound of young men and women preparing to defend their coun-try,” Nortier said.
This year marks the 12th anniversary of the 2001 attacks on the United States, a event that cost nearly 3,000 lives. Navy and civilian first-responders attended the Sept. 11 event to remember those who lost their lives.
“Events such as today’s event, not only recognize the significance of that event, it also honors the victims of 9/11, their families, first responders and the men and women serving in or support-ing our armed forces,” Nortier said.
The event marked Patriot Day
and National Day of Service and Remembrance, usually shortened to simply ‘Patriot Day’ and was so named by the U.S. Congress on Oct. 25, 2001 in honor of the terrorist attacks.
Sean Merrill, NAS Whidbey Island Fire Department battalion chief, who also spoke at the event, urged first responders to always “be prepared.”
“Our job is to always be prepared, do our best and pass it on,” Merrill said. “Today we remember by gathering around the flag, reading some names and praying… but we should do that stuff everyday.”
The ceremony included a moment of silence, the reading of the Firefighter’s Prayer and the traditional ringing of the bell.
The prayer and bell ringing are two traditions of the fire service, which reflect respect and honor to those who
gave their lives to their duty. The ring-ing of the bell represents the end of the emergency and the return to quarters, and is usually three rings of the bell, three times.
Nortier noted that Sept. 11 also marks the first anniversary of last year’s attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission at Benghazi, Libya. The attack killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the first ambas-sador to lose his life in service to the country in more than 30 years, Nortier said.
“Today is a day for remembering who we are as Americans, for our values, our strength and persistence in fighting our adversaries,” Nortier said.
“We must always remember and honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, and commit ourselves to defend the free-doms enjoyed by all Americans.”

By JANIS REIDThe Navy will hold a public forum in response to its
announcement about the arrival of additional P-8A squadrons at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
The meeting will help the Navy determine how the squadrons will be divided between NAS Whidbey and NAS Jacksonville, Fla.
The open house will be held 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8 at Oak Harbor High School’s Student Union Building.
The meetings will be conducted in an open house format with informational displays and materials available for public review. There will be no formal presentations. Navy staff will be present to answer general questions on the proposed action and the EIS process.
The public will be allowed to review the supplemental EIS to be attached to the original 2008 document which had deter-mined that the squadrons would be rotated between three bases. Now the Navy is considering two alternatives, which will trans-late to six or seven squadrons home-basing at NAS Whidbey.
This is a separate EIS process than the one announced by the Navy this month to study the environmental effects of the EA-18G Growlers and the EA-6B Prowlers both at Ault Field and Outlying Field Coupeville.
P-8A aircraft are not required to perform touch-and-go operations.
The EIS dealing with the P-8A squadrons will consider two alternatives. One considers the environmental effects of home basing six fleet squadrons and the Fleet Replacement Squadron at NAS Jacksonville and six fleet squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island.
The second option considers the environmental effects of home basing five fleet squadrons and the FRS at NAS Jacksonville and seven fleet squadrons at NAS Whidbey Island.
Copies of the draft supplemental EIS are available for public review at the following libraries: Oak Harbor City Library, 1000 S.E. Regatta Dr.; Anacortes Public Library, 1220 10th St.; La Conner Regional Library, 614 Morris St.; Coupeville Library, 788 NW Alexander Street.
Comments may be submitted any time during the 45-day public comment period between Sept. 20 and Nov. 4. Comment wills be collected at the public meeting or by mail at: P-8A EIS Project Manager, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic, Attn: Code EV21/CZ, 6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23508.
For those who cannot attend an open house, all informational materials are available on the project website, www.mmaseis.com

Capt. Mike Nortier, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island commanding officer, cel-ebrates the PBY Memorial Foundation’s 15th birthday on Sept. 24, 2013, while attending as guest speaker during its monthly luncheon at the Chief Petty Officers’ Club. Win and Donna Stites, founding members of the foundation, are also seen cutting the cake as guests of honor. Stites served here at the air station in 1945 flying aboard Catalinas in 1945. The PBY Memorial Foundation, established Sept. 22, 1998, is dedicated to the preservation of naval aviation history, the PBY Catalina and the Seaplane Base at Oak Harbor. (U.S. Navy photo)
