changed over the decades that followed, but the spirit of “taking care of its own” remained steadfast. In the era following World War II, many more families found themselves stationed with their military sponsors at installations around the world. In the 1960s, Lt. Col. Emma Marie Baird
recognized the greater need for a structured support agency and laid the groundwork for the program that would become ACS – officially designated by Gen. Harold K. Johnson, then Army Chief of Staff, on July 25, 1965. In the beginning, ACS had a three-fold mission of relocation assistance, information referral and Army Emergency Relief. The 1970s brought its realignment under Army Morale, Welfare and Recreation (now FMWR) and ACS staffing switched from noncommissioned officers to community volunteers. Early child development centers were under the ACS umbrella back then. Other milestones in ensuing decades included the births of the Army Family Action

Team Lee, please join me in wishing the Army Community Service a Happy 50th Birthday. Without a doubt, this organization has earned its reputation as a valued and trusted family support provider that now specializes in everything from financial wellness and relocation readiness to survivor outreach and Army Emergency Relief assistance. The ACS story can be traced back to the pioneer days when early Soldiers and the few spouses who were allowed to accompany them often found themselves living in remote outposts requiring a great deal of self-sufficiency. The wives banded together and created nurseries, lending closets, learning programs and support groups for those who lost their military husbands. Many things about the Army obviously

With this legacy of support in mind, and knowing the quality of services and contributions of its caring staff members today, I urge everyone in the community to show their appreciation for the things ACS has done for our Army Family. Visit the agency’s Facebook page – www.facebook.com/ FortLeeArmyCommunityService – and post your happy birthday wishes. Encourage others to use the services they provide if support is needed. Or if you prefer the direct approach, show up for the ACS birthday celebration set for July 30, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., in the parking lot outside of their building on Mahone Avenue.

Col. Barry Bridger, had just given a roughly 90-minute lecture July 17 at Larkin Center about his experiences as a prisoner of war at the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison camp during the Vietnam War. His appearance was part of CASCOM and Fort Lee’s Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness Leader Professional Development series. A total of about 150 community members attended two presentations. “What I witnessed in Hanoi were people who came into a very difficult set of circumstances, who were willing to leap into

Not just one of them did it, they all did it. I was just amazed at the caliber of people I met in those difficult circumstances.” Among those who spent time at the Hanoi Hilton were Sen.

He was released in 1973 after spending more than six years in captivity at the facility officially called the Hoa Lo Prison. At about 5-feet, 9 inches tall and a medium, athletic build, the 75-year-old spoke confidently and forcefully about his experiences, often pacing from one side of the conference center to the other. He detailed the horrific conditions of the prison, the inhumane treatment cast upon prisoners by their captors and the overarching political motives of their government. He often emphasized how their “values” helped sustain them through it all. “America’s Vietnam prisoners of war quickly learned that the desperate, crushing environment of a POW camp can destroy the mind and the body, but it cannot touch the values of a good heart and spirit,” he said at the beginning of his speech.

ACS enhances military lives for 50 years SAN ANTONIO – In 1967, Hester Ruth Francis was living with her parents in a dilapidated, three-room cabin in rural Kentucky while her husband, Pvt. Sterling R. Francis, was stationed in South Korea. The cabin did not even have indoor plumbing or central heat. Money was clearly an issue for the Francis couple, especially with a newborn on the way. Hester already accrued out-ofpocket medical expenses and needed a military identification card to receive necessary health benefits. Unable to travel to obtain her card, she contacted the Army – specifically the commander-in-chief – to see what could be done. Army Community Service at Fort Knox, Ky., stepped in. An emergency mission dubbed “Operation Tomahawk” (named after Hester’s town of Tomahawk, Ky.) assigned Maj. Raymond M. Marsh, the ACS center chief, and a photographer to travel to her home via 17th Air Cavalry helicopter. Bringing along a typewriter, laminating machine and a camera with instant film processing capabilities, Marsh produced and issued her an ID card in her kitchen. Days later, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. This is one of the first publicized stories of ACS’s remarkable commitment and service to Soldiers and their family members. This month, the program celebrates its 50th birthday. While military communities have evolved over the years, ACS is still dedicated to its motto: “Real-Life Solutions for Successful Army Living.” “ACS is a group of professionals dedicated to relieving some of the burden our Soldiers and their families carry every day,” said Stephanie L. Hoehne, the G9 Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation director for the U.S. Army Installation Management Command. “Our ACS centers are staffed with people who live the ideal of taking care of the Army Family.” The program’s formal conception started in the early 1960s. By then, services like Army Emergency Relief already existed. However, as the military entered into the Vietnam War, the needs of Soldiers and their family members changed. Lt. Gen. J.L. Richardson, then the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, took action to establish an official “family as-
sistance” program in 1963. He requested a qualified officer to develop a plan for the program’s creation. Lt. Col. Emma Marie Baird, who was assigned to the AER and Personnel Affairs Office during World War II, was selected. She began putting together a program that addressed the military families’ growing needs. It’s philosophy, however, would be of evaluation, not revolution. “Emerging needs can be met, and services no longer need to be discarded, to ensure each program is adapted to the requirements and resources of the specific Army community,” she said in her 1986 paper entitled, “Army Community Service History.” Under the guidance of AR 608-1, the ACS Regulation, the Army developed programming based on the diverse needs of military families. Between 1965 and 1981, the Handicapped Dependents Program (now called Exceptional Family Member Program) and the Child Advocacy Program (now evolved into the Family Advocacy Program) were created. The 1980s also was a time when Army leadership brought family care issues to the forefront. In 1983, Gen. John A. Wickham, Jr., then Chief of Staff of the Army, wrote a white paper entitled “The Army Family” to address how family members’ support was important to the mission. His paper led to the Army Family Action Plan, a grassroots initiative for identifying and prioritizing issues to enhance standards of living for Soldiers and their families. Other programs such as Financial Readiness, Volunteer Coordinator (now the Army Volunteer Corps), and Relocation Assistance or Relocation Readiness were established in this decade. The ‘90s brought the development of Army Family Team Building, a program where Soldiers, families and civilian employees could learn about the Army culture and grow their leadership skills. As the new millennium started, ACS programming evolved to meet the needs of a more technologically advanced and geographically dispersed society. Army OneSource, a web portal with program resources, launched in 2008. Other online resources such as Virtual Army Family Readiness Groups also became available. The 2000s also were a time of major conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This impacted SEE ACS, PAGE 5

ACS | Supporting families a long
tradition for military organization Continued from page 4 military families as more wounded Soldiers came home. Development of Soldier and Family Assistance Centers – facilities providing direct support to the Medical Command’s Warrior Care and Transition Program and Warrior Transition Unit Soldiers and their families – began in 2007. Sgt. Christopher Robbins and his wife Amy used the SFAC services at Fort Bragg, N.C., after Robbins sustained injuries from his deployment. The SFAC staff members helped the family by relieving common stressors in the recovery process. “The SFAC staff members set us up with childcare during my husband’s medical appointments. They also planned activities to make our family feel special,” Amy said. “We would still be lost in the dark if it wasn’t for their help and assistance.” Another need increased by a decade of conflict was assistance for surviving family members. In 2008, Survivor Outreach Services was established to work alongside
Casualty and Mortuary Affairs and Casualty Assistance Centers across the Army to provide long-term care for these family members. Tina Houchins, an information technology specialist for the cyber security team at Defense Logistics Agency Richmond, has used the survivor outreach services since 2007 at Fort Monroe after her son Cpl. Aaron Gautier was killed May 17, 2007, in Baghdad of wounds sustained when his mounted patrol came in contact with enemy forces using small-arms fire and an improvised explosive device. Houchins moved to the Richmond area in 2012, and Angela Bellamy, a SOS coordinator at the Fort Lee ACS, reached out to her. “The Fort Lee SOS team has been a great support system to all the Gold Star Families to help them come together,” said Houchins. “We all have a unique bond. I have met other families that otherwise I would have never met if it wasn’t for the survivor outreach services. “I feel it is a great way to bring families together from the once-a-month meetings

I supervise several programs.” How did you end up at Fort Lee? “We wanted to retire here because I wanted our children to know our families. Sometimes military children don’t always connect with their extended family. I thought if something happened to my husband or me, my kids would be comfortable with family members.” How did you get started with ACS? “My husband is retired from the military. When he was in, we were stationed in Germany, and I started working at ACS in 1990. We PCSd to Fort Lee and I was lucky enough to get hired here.” Time at ACS: “25 years.” Stuff you can’t live without: “Church. God. I think church provides me with sanity.” Dream vacation: “Anywhere there is water. Water relaxes me.” Pet peeves: “I hate people who are not organized. I hate not being organized.” Favorite quote: “I’m not sure who said it, but my favorite quote is ‘The price we pay for the air we breathe is the fact that we give back.’” Worst fear: “To die from choking.” Favorite food: “Breakfast food. Not
any particular item, I just love breakfast food.” Talents: “Crafting. I’m a crafty person, so if I see something, I can usually make it.” Someone you admire: “My mother. Now that I’m 50, I really understand the sacrifices she made for her children. My mother is deceased. I love the fact that when we were acting crazy and wild, she didn’t give up on us.” Qualities you admire: “Honesty. Considerate of other people. Integrity. Someone who can look beyond your faults and still love you.” Something people would be surprised to know about you: “I’m an introvert.” Future aspirations: “Do some work for the American Red Cross in crisis situations.

Changing attitudes, changing needs: By the Vietnam era, a significant number of Soldiers had Families. They faced typical problems—financial, medical and personal—and the stresses of wartime service.

During her 24-year military career, she served in the Women’s Army Corps, worked in Army Emergency Relief during WWII, and became the first woman assigned to the U.S. Military Academy staff. Because of her experience in AER, she was selected to create the Army’s official Family assistance program in the early 1960s. After her retirement in 1968, Baird remained active with ACS programs throughout the country – especially at Fort Bliss, Texas, where she regularly volunteered her time. She passed away in 1987.

SURVIVOR | Former POW emphasizes values
in efforts to bolster resiliency, survivability Continued from page 3 The torture at Hoa Lo – prisoners being bound by rope, whipped with rubber hoses or hung by their arms for hours at a time – was not used so much to gain military intelligence as it was to break the will of prisoners, said Bridger. Those who were broken were more likely to sign documents criticizing U.S. conduct in the war and fueling the North Vietnamese propaganda machine. Regarding his treatment, Bridger said the most difficult times he faced were the moments he was not able to help his comrades. “The toughest time I had in Hanoi was not screaming my guts out while I was being tortured,” he said. “The toughest time was listening to my friends scream their guts out while being tortured, and I couldn’t help them. I can’t tell you how viscerally that affected my mind, my heart and my body
T. Anthony Bell
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. and former prisoner of war Barry B. Bridger speaks to the audience during a professional development session July 17 at the Larkin Center. His appearance was part of CASCOM and Fort Lee’s Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness Leader Professional Development series.
to hear such a thing and not be able to help.” Bridger, who speaks to military audiences free of charge as a guest of First Command Financial Services, appears at roughly 20-30 such events yearly with the intent
of sharing his experiences to support resiliency efforts amongst the services. Resiliency in his generation, he said, can be attributed to a distinct set of cultural values that held humanity in high regard. “I think it has everything to do
with the values you hold in common with those about you, and if you have the right set of values, you are going to be focused on reaching out to those with greater needs than yourself,” he said. “You’re not going to be focused on you.” Bridger went on to say the decline of the traditional family and cohesive, supportive communities and in some respects, technology, have all played a part in the erosion of values. “How you survive has something to do with relationships and deeply held beliefs that define who you are and how you’re likely to behave,” he said. Can the current and future generations somehow gain the values of the past like the ones that sustained the American POWs at Hoa Lo? Bridger was quick and enthusiastic about his answers. “There are many ways to do this, but I can name three categories I think will have a powerful impact on building the right set of values about life, about living and about being. The first would be literature. There are any number of
books, articles and narratives that if you happen to read, can have a profound impact on who you are and how you think the rest of your life …. “No. 2, the relationships you form. If you hang around with jerks, expect to be a good one, but if you hang around people of character, who tell the truth when no one is looking, who tell the truth when the heat is on, who are competent in the things they do, caring and respectful of those around them at all times, and inspirational – guess what? You have a shot of being the same kind of human being. “Finally, if you’re in the wrong group you don’t do well. If you’re in the right group, you got a good shot. It can have an impact on how you think and act.” The Army’s Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness program resolves to build resilience among Soldiers, families and civilian employees through training and self-development tools that will enhance their abilities to cope with adversity and stressful situations.

The Soldiers provided much-needed community service by putting away equipment and assisting with cleanup duties following the Petersburg Music Festival hosted by PDC. “ Their efforts were greatly appreciated because after a 3-day period of work, the PCD board members were tired,” said Patricia Hines, president. “ These young Soldiers not only assisted in putting away equipment, they helped spruce-up the area of the Halifax Triangle of Petersburg.” The area is prime for development. KiKi, a dog owned by Hines, joined the group for the photo.

KENNER CONNECTION | DISEASE PREVENTION
MERS serious threat The illness commonly called MERS in casual conversation is caused by a Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus. MERS affects the respiratory system (lungs and breathing tubes) and can affect anyone. MERS patients have ranged in age from younger than 1 to 99 years old. So far, all cases of MERS have been linked to countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula. Most infected people either lived in the Arabian Peninsula or recently traveled from the Arabian Peninsula before they became ill. A few people became infected with MERS-CoV after having close contact with an infected person who had recently traveled from the Arabian Peninsula. Public health agencies continue to investigate clusters of cases in several countries to better understand how MERSCoV spreads from person to person. Communicability: MERS-CoV, like other coronaviruses, is thought to spread from an infected person’s respiratory secretions, such as through coughing. However, the precise ways the virus spreads are not currently well understood. Most patients developed severe acute respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. MERS-CoV has spread from ill people to others through close contact, such as caring for or living with an infected person. Infected people have spread the disease to others in health care settings, such as hospitals. Researchers studying MERS have not seen any ongoing spreading of it in the community. Symptoms: Based on information available to date, the incubation period
for MERS (time between when a person is exposed to MERS-CoV and when they start to have symptoms) is usually about 5 or 6 days, but can range from 2-14 days. Most people confirmed to have the infection had severe acute respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. Some people also had gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhea and nausea/vomiting. For many people with MERS, more severe complications followed, such as pneumonia and kidney failure. About 3-4 out of every 10 people reported with MERS have died, however, most of the people who died had an underlying medical condition. Some infected people had mild symptoms (such as coldlike symptoms) or no symptoms at all and recovered. Pre-existing Conditions: Based on what researchers know so far, people with pre-existing medical conditions (also called comorbidities) may be more likely to become infected with MERS-CoV and have a severe case. Pre-existing conditions from reported cases have included diabetes; cancer; and chronic lung, heart, and kidney disease. Individuals with weakened immune systems are also at higher risk for getting the disease or having a severe case. Prevention: Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent an infection, but the U.S. National Institutes of Health is exploring the possibility of developing one. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention routinely advises people help protect themselves from respiratory illnesses by

taking everyday preventive actions: wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer; cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then throw the tissue in the trash; avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; avoid personal contact, such as kissing, or sharing cups or eating utensils, with sick people; and clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs. If anyone is caring for or living with a person confirmed to have, or being evaluated for, MERS-CoV infection, see the CDC interim
guidance for preventing MERS-CoV from spreading in homes and communities that can be viewed or downloaded at www. cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/hcp/home-carepatient.html. Treatment: There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for the disease. Individuals with MERS can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms. For severe cases, current treatment includes care to support vital organ functions. The information was obtained from the CDC website located at www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/mers/about/index.html. – Kenner Army Health Clinic and CDC
