Tuskegee Airmen honored at NAS Whidbey By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

It was a different kind of movie premier. Yes, there were film stars, movie producers, dignitaries and honored guests. But replace the red carpet with a Navy color guard and rock stars with Navy Band Northwest and you get a feel for the preview of the new George Lucas film “Red Tails” held Tuesday at the Skywarrior Theater on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. And the true stars of the day were two of the Tuskegee Airmen upon which the movie is based. A rough cut of the film, which is not

Joint meeting marks 70th anniversary By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

ecember 7, 1941, besides being “a date which will live in infamy,” was a day in which former Navy combat air crewman James Murray never slept. “On that day, I was wishing to be somewhere else, anywhere else,” said Murray, of Mount Vernon. Murray, an eyewitness to the attack, was one of several in the audience Tuesday at the CPO Club in Oak Harbor who recounted his memories of that day for those gathered at December’s joint meeting of the Association of Naval Aviators and PBY Memorial Foundation members. It was a meeting marked by solemn resolve for both groups, as they commemorated the sacrifices made not only by the Navy, but other service branches and civilians as well. PBY member Jim Siggens opened the meeting with the pledge of allegiance.

Retired Navy Chaplain and PBY member Wes Westlund gave the invocation, with a special reference to those who lost their lives that day.

Murray counts himself blessed and fortunate that he is alive to tell about his memories. “I remember seeing a plane on fire, and at first thought, ‘Well, that pilot’s about to lose his engine.’ Then I saw the markings on the side of the aircraft, and realized what was going on,” said Murray. He was on temporary assigned duty (TAD) at Pearl Harbor at the time. A navy storekeeper, he was in the process of changing rate to aviation machinist mate, he said, which was what he really wanted to do. “The attack on Pearl Harbor delayed my rate change for six months,” said Murray, “but it changed a lot of people’s lives forever.” Oak Harbor resident Dave Weisbrod, a member of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League as well as the ANA, reminisced about what he was doing that day.

VP-40 enhances relations with Thai Navy By Lt. j.g. KEVIN HOWARD and Lt. j.g. KEVIN GOODLOE Patrol Squadron 40

U-TAPAO, Thailand – Beginning with an educational, relations-building symposium and ending with a flawless on-station performance, Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 took advantage of an opportunity to work with the Royal Thai Navy (RTN). As part of the Sea Surveillance Exercise (SEASURVEX), VP-40 sent 11 aircrewmen and eight maintenance personnel to participate in coordinated Anti-Surface Warfare Training (ASUW). Combat Aircrew (CAC) 9, led by Mission Commander and Tactical Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jeremiah Adams, traveled to U-TaPao International Airport, home to Squadron 102 of the RTN. During the symposium, they discussed topics such as Tactical Common Data Link (TCDL), Night Operations, Search and Rescue Procedures, and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief. Additionally, CAC-9 executed tasking designed to develop ASUW proficiency by participating in a simulated coordinated attack on a surface vessel. The RTN personnel expressed a large interest in the abilities of TCDL to provide real-time, full-motion, streaming video from the P-3C Orion to a ground station or mobile unit. Arrangements were made for all interested personnel to view a demonstration of TCDL throughout the next few days. Additionally, the Thai aircrew gave tours of their two aircraft: the Fauker

and P-3A. “Our nation’s friendship with Thailand is vital to maintaining regional stability,” said Lt. Cmdr. Morrison. “Bilateral exercises such as SEASURVEX serve to preserve and strengthen this friendship, foster a mutual understanding of each nation’s MPRA capabilities, and improve both forces capability to operate in a multinational battle space.” The following morning, CAC-9 took off from U-TaPao and arrived on station to perform the coordinated ASUW. Soon after, the Thai Fauker arrived and assisted the surface search from a higher altitude. The two aircrews conducted an altitude swap and identified a simulated hostile contact, followed by the simulated, coordinated attack. “The detachment to Thailand was great. It was really cool to interact with the Thai P-3 squadron, and to find out similarities and differences between our two squadrons,” said Naval Aircrewman Third Class Dominique Demeo. On the last day, Lt. Darin Wilcken reenlisted Aviation Electrician Second Class Erik Castro. “It was an amazing experience,” said Castro. “I was given another chance to see how other countries do business within the aviation community. Having the opportunity to re-enlist in Thailand reminds me of why I joined the Navy: to travel the world and have fun while doing our nation’s work.” SEASURVEX Thailand marks one of VP-40’s last detachments before returning to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

AZ2 Carmen Lovett reenlists By Lt.j.g. JOSHUA “LENO” FLEMING VAQ-141 Public Affairs

Aviation Maintenance Administrationman Second Class (AZ2) Carmen G. Lovett has chosen to reenlist in the U.S. Navy, extending her service to her country for the next four years. After being honorably discharged and before raising her hand to take the vow again at a ceremony on Nov. 11, Lovett turned to Command Master Chief Robert Holland and gave a warm wave, cheerfully saying “Hi Bob.” After drawing laughs from the gathering crowd, she turned back to leading petty officer, AZ1 Jeff Monzella, and told him she was ready to reenlist. Lovett is the spouse of Nickolas Lovett and mother of their 2-year-old son, Steven. She is a 2008 graduate of Collins Hill

Fighting Marlins end Seventh Fleet deployment with MARSURVEX P.I. By Lt. j. g. DANIEL BUCCOLA VP-40 Public Affairs

CLARK, Philippines – Patrol Squadron (VP) 40’s Combat Aircrew (CAC) 7 just returned from what may have been one of the most successful detachments during their Seventh Fleet deployment. Maritime Surveillance Exercise (MARSURVEX) 2011 proved significant as both U.S. Navy and Filipino aircrews benefited from the experience. The Fighting Marlins of VP-40 visited Puerto Princesa, Philippines, earlier during their deployment for Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT), demonstrating the capabilities and interoperability of the P-3C Orion while working closely with several U.S. and allied surface forces. MARSURVEX allowed VP-40 a second opportunity to demonstrate the flight characteristics of the P-3C, as well as the features of the non-acoustic equipment that is carried onboard. Throughout the four-day exercise, CAC-7 escorted 10 riders from the Philippine Armed Forces on three flights. MARSURVEX was yet another opportunity for the U.S. Navy to work closely with an allied nation and demonstrate how the maritime community operates. All three of the Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flights consisted of the crew searching two large boxes. After identifying a surface contact on radar, the aircrew would then further identify the contact through Automatic Identification

System (AIS) and visually observe the vessel through the Advanced Imaging MultiSpectral (AIMS) camera. Of all the non-acoustic equipment, the Filipino riders were particularly intrigued by the Orion’s AIMS sensor. “It was a good opportunity for me to explain my knowledge of the non-acoustic systems that we use daily to complete our mission,” said Naval Aircrewman Second Class David Parks. “Often, we take our advanced technology for granted. Their curiosity for how the system works was very inspiring.” CAC-7 also demonstrated the Orion’s long-range capabilities, operating over 250 miles away from the coast of the Philippines. The Filipino pilots that fly the country’s surveillance aircraft were impressed with the distance and area that could be searched in such a small amount of time. “Having riders from the Philippine Air Force, Marines, and Navy allowed us to explain how our sensors can be used for a plethora of missions, both at sea and in the coastal environment of the Philippine Islands,” said Lt. James Monohan, Tactical Coordinator. When it was time to leave, representatives from U.S. and Filipino Armed Forces joined together for closing remarks and a gift exchange. “An opportunity to visit the Philippines and enhance our relations with fellow members of the military was outstanding,” said Lt. Cmdr. Ben Elfert, detachment officer-in-charge. “The detachment to the Philippines was an essential part of our mission to improve interoperability with our allied forces.”

appy Holidays! Still shopping? There’s an online day for that: “Free Shipping Day” is Friday, Dec. 16. Online retailers — 2,000 of them — will offer free shipping with your purchase for addresses within the continental United States. At some of these retailers, you may be able to “stack” the free shipping with other discounts. Find those discounts by following your favorite retailers on Twitter, Facebook or at their websites. Before you shop, be sure you’re a member of Ebates.com, where you can earn a percentage of your purchase back in the form of a rebate. You’ll receive a $10 gift card following your first purchase through them. Want to find the best deal online? Bizrate.com is the place to compare prices. Super Freebie: With your Sno-Isle library card (Sno-Isle.org), you have free online access to Consumer Reports Magazine website and the Consumer Reports Electronic Issues information database. Think Taxes Now – Save Time and Money Later: Though Christmas bells are ringing (and cash registers too) and we’ve 18 things to do, there is money and stress to be saved if we take some time to consider our tax filing situation before the year’s end. Here are some things to think about: Give to charity: Share in the holiday spirit of giving — or clean out your home of any items you haven’t used all year. This is also a good time to gather your other charitable giving receipts. Are there any other deductions you want to acquire before 2012 begins? Consult your tax preparer or IRS.gov for information. IRS.gov also has a list of reputable charities — check there before you give to an unfamiliar charity. Consider your withholding allowances and withholding status: Though many of us look forward to a tax refund every year, ask yourself if what you’re getting back could be paid to you throughout the year, instead of loaning it to Uncle Sam interest-free. Wouldn’t that be better? Evaluate your W-4 and see if any changes can be made. Get Organized: Make it a resolution! Designate one set of files to organize all of your financial/home data. Start collecting those pieces of information that you’ll need at tax time. Being organized can save you lots of time and money. This includes receipts for appliances/valuable equipment, warranties/instructions, credit card statements, etc. “Take Winter by Storm”: As a life-long Washingtonian, I can tell you that the worst winter has in store for us is still ahead. Take action now to be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for at least 3 days. If you’re new to the area, use the holiday season as a time to get to know your neighbors. Network and prepare emergency supplies together. Find out who has the four-wheel drive, the chainsaw, and medical training before you need it. TakeWinterByStorm.org has useful checklists for home preparation, emergency kits, and emergency contact cards. Most importantly, complete the steps listed on the Winter Weather Family Plan.

Volunteer van driver Jim Bogle, back from a trip to the Seattle Veterans Administration hospital, parks the DAV van. MELANIE HAMMONS/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

Van drivers a blessing for disabled vets By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

M

uch like the US Postal Service, DAV van drivers try not to let the weather stop them from their appointed rounds. So says volunteer driver Jim Bogle of Oak Harbor. “Rain or shine, if the clinics (at Seattle Veterans Administration hospital) are open, then we’re on the road,” said Bogle. “On the other hand, Jim Bogle if wintertime road conditions are bad, we won’t attempt it, because the safety of our riders is most important of all.” A DAV van volunteer since about 2001, Bogle says he has come to know, and become quite fond of, those who depend on him for round trip rides to VA hospital appointments. “We see lots of vets: many are Vietnam-era, and Korean-war, but we also have the WWII vets, and veterans of the desert wars, too,” said Bogle. A veteran as well,

Bogle stressed that is not a requirement for being a van driver. “I’m a retired police officer from New Mexico, and my wife is a retired Navy nurse,” said Bogle. His background as a former Navy Hospital Corpsman assigned to the 2nd Marine Division during the 60’s gives him a natural affinity for van driver service. But medical experience is not a requirement either, he said. “One day, I was looking for something to do, and saw an ad in the newspaper for volunteer drivers,” he said. “After a physical, background check, and a couple of ride-alongs with experienced drivers, I joined up, and have been doing this ever since.” The DAV van makes a number of scheduled stops for the convenience of their passengers. These include Safeway, Liberty Market, and the Anacortes ferry, among others. They also have the flexibility to pick up passengers at their home addresses, for those who are unable to connect in any other way, although a doctor’s note is required for home pickup. “We want to be there for the veteran,” said Bogle. Riders must also be ambulatory, since the vans are not equipped to handle

wheelchairs, he said. Sometimes, he even transports passengers other than people. “We have patients who take their dogs and other service animals or companions along,” Bogle said, noting that this also requires a doctor’s note. SEE DRIVERS | PAGE 5

Drivers needed: If you have an interest in being a volunteer driver for Disabled American Veterans, stop by the DAV office in Building 13 on the Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor. Call 257-4801 for information.

It takes a village to please an editor One of my favorite holiday decorations is my Christmas village. It began years ago when my daughter was very young — just a couple of cute candle holders in the shape of little houses. I found more little houses at garage sales here and there and soon had enough to string together a mini village on a mantle, and I thought it would be fun to add a little something to it each year. Some years have seen huge KATHY additions, when I’ve been able to find small scale buildings REED that don’t look like they’ve been painted by someone who put too much rum in their eggnog. Each year more and more boxes have been required to add the necessary hills and valleys. I’ve been threatening for quite a while to create some kind of permanent foundation for my village. My husband just smiled and nodded, indulging me in my architectural fantasy. This year I was serious. I grabbed my husband and dragged him to the home improvement store, the necessary measurements locked in my brain. After much gesturing with my hands to explain the design in my head, my husband made his recommendations for supplies, knowing he would have his work cut out for him when he got home. The process was nearly painless, as I only threw up my hands in frustration and walked away once. But the end result is a spectacular, albeit a little too uniform, four-level Christmas village complete with an oatmeal-box summit. There are some adjustments to be made for next year — provided I get a jig saw — (that’s a hint, honey!) but for my first effort, it’s not bad. My husband, who rewarded my enthusiasm with lots of eye-rolling, also seems pleased with the overall effect, judging by his plans for next year’s new subdivisions. Sometimes, it just takes a village to make an editor happy.

‘All volunteer’ is not what it seems I am committed to making sure this column does not become a yearlong rant about the ups and downs of having my husband deployed, but reactions bring up common military-spouse conundrums: Do military families think they are owed something because of their sacrifices? And can you even call it a “sacrifice” when my husband is paid for his job? A similar and equally perplexing problem for military spouses is: Didn’t we know what we were getting into when we married someone in the military? There are no easy answers to these questions. My husband’s job involves sacrifice, yes, but we are compensated for his work. And no, we shouldn’t feel entitled to anything from civilians just because we are a military family and make sacrifices on

other people’s behalf. It’s an allvolunteer military, after all. That’s what people say, at least. My husband doesn’t “volunteer” in the truest sense of the word. He doesn’t have the luxury ARAH of choosing when and where he serves. No one asks, “Is now MILEY a good time to leave your family for a year?” (Remember, the military is protecting democracy, not practicing it.) And, of course, service members receive a paycheck for their “volunteerism.” So what an “all-volunteer” military actually means is that everyone else won’t be forced to serve (a la the draft) if they choose not to. I liken it to that moment in a classroom when a teacher asks a question and the crickets start chirping. Chirp, chirp. Everyone looks at their lap or

DAV gains new members By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

Disabled American Veterans Chapter 47 had much to celebrate at its monthly meeting at Whidbey Coffee Dec. 1. Not only was it one of the best-attended meetings in months, the group also welcomed three new members to the organization. “Maybe we should hold more meetings at Whidbey Coffee,� joked chapter service officer Muggs Monahan, who presided at last Thursday’s meeting. One of those who joined, retired Navy veteran Jim Cuthbertson of Oak Harbor, said it was the right thing for him to do. “I’ve been on the DAV lifetime membership rolls for 10 years, but this marked my first meeting at the local chapter,� said Cuthbertson. “The DAV was so help-

ful to me, in helping me apply for my benefits. So I really wanted to support their organization, and be a part of what they do here,� he said. Following the prayer and pledge of allegiance, members approved the November meeting minutes. They witnessed the swearing-in ceremony for the three new members and heard committee reports. Treasurer Missy Vaughn gave the results of the yearly forget-me-not fund drive held on Veterans Day. Volunteers stationed in front of area businesses accepted donations for DAV that day. “I’m happy to report to you that we netted over $2,000 this year during our forget-me-not drive,� said Vaughn, “making this our best year ever for that outreach.�

“We also handed out four applications for volunteer van drivers,� she said. The local chapter provides the service to vets needing a ride to VA clinic appointments in Seattle. Chapter adjutant Michelle McClain reported that she had already mailed out thank-you notes to the host businesses for the fund drive. McClain also updated the members on legislative developments of interest. “The ongoing economy and job situation have ushered in a big push on jobs for veterans,� she said. “This has taken on two fronts: job search tools and skill upgrades for veterans.� McClain reported that tax incentives are making it more attractive for companies to hire veterans. “Even Microsoft is getting into the act: they will be donating 1,000 vouchers devoted to veterans’ job

Chapter service officer Muggs Monahan, right, administers the oath of office to three new members at DAV Chapter 47’s Dec. 1 meeting.

In other news, chapter treasurer Vaughn applied for a philanthropic grant given by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to nonprofit organizations. In response to changes recently made to Seaplane base access, chap-

ter officers plan to submit a request to the volunteer services coordinator in Seattle for an off-base parking location for the van. Chapter 47 will hold its first meeting of the new year Jan. 5 at 7 p.m., at the Oak Harbor Library.

DRIVERS | FROM PAGE 3 The roundtrip rides are generally very routine, taking about one-and-a-half to two hours’ travel time each way. One rare exception occurred late last year. “I was driving last November, around Thanksgiving time, when it started snowing,� said Bogle. He said that day turned into an 18-hour round trip for him and his nine passengers. “We were held up for 3 1/2 hours at Deception Pass bridge — but thankfully, that sort of occurrence is pretty rare.� The DAV is always interested in finding qualified volunteers to drive the vans. And while the work provides a much-appreciated service for veterans, it has also been a rewarding experience for him, says Bogle. “I’ve stayed with it all this time because of the stories I’ve heard from some of these fellows, especially the guys from WWII. You simply would be spellbound, as I was,� said Bogle. “They are wonderful.�

FILM | FROM PAGE 1 scheduled to be released until Jan. 20, 2012, was presented to a nearly full house. Many of those present were students. “This is an important part of history,� said Seattle resident Synthia Franklin, who changed her work schedule to bring a group of 15 students to tour the base and see the film. “What you read in history books is not always the whole story. This is a valid piece of history.� NAS Whidbey Commanding Officer, Capt. Jay Johnston welcomed the crowd. “It’s obvious to me, based on the number of people sitting here today, that the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen — who trained and fought with distinction during World War II, despite the racial discrimination that was so prevalent in this country at that time — is alive and well here today,� he said. “I’m honored to be standing on the stage with two fellow aviators,� Johnston said. “Please help we welcome Lt. Col. Ed Drummond and Capt. George Hickman.�

“Red Tails� The film “Red Tails� tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African American Aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces in WWII, a challenging time in our nation’s history in many ways. Tommy Lamb, president of the Sam Bruce Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. in Seattle, set the tone for the presentation. “It’s so nice to be able to look out into the audience and see all these many different colors in dress and also in skin, because the Tuskegee Airmen did exactly what we have done thus far — that is make America one people, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,� Lamb said. Seattle television weathercaster Steve Pool served as master of ceremonies. Pool said he wanted to explain to the audience, the young people in particular, why the film they were about to see is so important. “We’re going to show you a movie, obviously, but that movie has to be put in a context so you understand why this is so significant,� he said. Pool went on to share his family’s military connection, beginning with his great-grandfather, who fought in the last battle of the Civil War; to his grandfather, who fought in World War I; and to his father, who landed at Utah Beach in Normandy in World War II, taking a bullet in 1944. Pool said he had discussed many times with his father the difficulties African Americans faced during WWII and had concluded that African Americans fought not because of what America was at the time, but because of the promise of what it could be. “This is the only nation in the world that was founded on the principle — not territory — on the principle of freedom, justice and equality,� Pool said. “Today we honor the Tuskegee Airmen. These are the brave men who

fought for their country not just at the time, but for the future.�

A difficult history It was the Tuskegee Airmen themselves who painted an eloquent picture of what it was like for them during their time of service. “The simple answer as to why I fought was because this is my country,â€? said Drummond. “I was interested in our being able to stay free, and stay free of being subjugated by other countries.â€? Growing up in Philadelphia, Drummond said he never really got a sense of segregation until he joined the military and had to travel to Wichita Falls, Texas for basic training. “I guess somebody thought that I had some leadership ability and I was put in charge of the tickets on the train for six other black soldiers,â€? he said. “We were put in the observation car — the tail end car. I guess they must have thought that it was appropriate for blacks, but for us, it seemed like even though we had to eat, sleep, do everything in that car, we had the best show on the road because we had an open view of all the territory that we were passing through on our way from Pennsylvania to Texas.â€? Hickman recalled the days of his youth, growing up in St. Louis. There was segregation, but nothing like what he encountered when he went to Tuskegee. Ala. “When I went to the South, it was worse,â€? he said. “Labels on steps of ‘colored,’ ‘black.’ Going into the toilet facilities and it was run down, everything rusty, no warm water ‌ and it looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a year.â€? But he says his experiences with segregation taught him a valuable life lesson. “I’ve learned that there’s no need in keeping a chip on your shoulder and being angry,â€? he said. “You make yourself angry by hating. ‌ If you want to do anything at all, have a little faith and say some prayers.â€?

Project to fight for Producer Rick McCallum described learning about the Tuskegee Airmen 23 years earlier and the difficulty in getting the film made. “It has been an absolute nightmare and a struggle for that long to actually get this film going,� McCallum said. “Partly because nobody wanted to make it. We couldn’t convince anybody ... it was more the studios just didn’t think that a film about black pilots was going to be in any way successful and we’ve kind of battled that.� Boiling the whole story of the Tuskegee Airmen down into a marketable movie was also a challenge. They

Tuskegee Airman George Hickman addresses the crowd gathered at NAS Whidbey Island for a preview of the new film, “Red Tails.â€?

McCallum continued. “We have to tell the story of the action adventure part, the dogfight part, the heroic part.â€? Two young actors from the film shared with the audience how the story of the Tuskegee Airmen impacted them. “We had the spirit of change while we were doing the film,â€? said Elijah Kelley, speaking to Drummond and Hickman in particular and the audience at large. “We wanted to stand on the shoulders of what you guys did, the legacy of what you guys built because you were all about change. “Before there was a Martin Luther King‌ before there was the Rosa Parks, it was these guys,â€? he continued. “It was them who fought for us to be able to sit in this room together in harmony with no judgements, with no separation, with everyone equal and with everyone on the same plane.â€? “It was a blessing to be a part of this film and play these great men,â€? said Marcus T.

Making Mischief Custom tag event:

Spirits feature unique way to remember the fallen, wounded By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

F

ormer Whidbey Island resident Mike Sherlock is getting into the spirit of the holidays — or perhaps you could say he’s getting into spirits. Sherlock and his wife, Patti, are the founders of Fremont Mischief Distillery and Tasting Room on N. Canal Street in Seattle. Sherlock grew up on the south end of Whidbey Island, graduating from South Whidbey High School. His father owned a welding business and Sherlock learned the trade. But he was interested in the commercial fishing business and said he worked his way up to Alaska by welding. He bought his first fishing boat when he was 21 and spent seven years in Petersburg, Alaska, southeast of Juneau. As Sherlock’s career evolved and changed, he found himself working at and owning various businesses, partnering with several of his fishing buddies for some of them. The winding business road led them to a distillery in Canada, and there Sherlock’s interest took an unexpected turn - distilling spirits. “My fishermen buddies and I always helped each other out,” Sherlock said. “And we were always innovative, trying new things.” Over the years, Sherlock said he bought his partners out. The result is Fremont Mischief. Sherlock said they have strived to make the distillery more of a destination point, with lots of quirky things to look at when you visit. All their stills, which were made in Germany, are named after ladies. One of their whiskeys bears the name of Patti’s greatgrandfather, John Jacob, and is based on his family recipe. And Sherlock’s roots on

Whidbey Island planted a seed that sprouted and helped make his distilled spirits even more distinctive. “Through the years I had remembered that farmland up there; how rich and black the soil was,” said Sherlock. “We experimented with wheat from Eastern Washington and from Whidbey Island. The wheat from here (Whidbey Island), had a very distinctive taste.” And thus was born a relationship with Ebey Road Farm in Coupeville. “What a neat deal for us, to get to go back to where we were,” Sherlock said. “It’s neat coming from Whidbey Island and involving people from there in this.” The wheat from Ebey Road Farm is used to make Mischief ’s vodka. But it is Mischief ’s rye whiskey that is garnering attention these days among those with ties to the military. “When we started the distillery, we wanted to do something where we could give back to the community. We thought of all the men and women who have helped keep us free to do what we do,” said Sherlock. While a portion of the proceeds from Mischief ’s vodka and gin are donated to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, a quarter of the profits from Mischief ’s “Carry the Lantern” commemorative soldier whiskey are given to the Freedom Is Not Free organization. The nonprofit group makes grants to Purple Heart recipients and their families to help meet financial needs including expenses associated with medical care, travel, home modification and paying bills. Each special edition bottle of Mischief ’s ‘soldier whiskey’ features a unique set of dog tags. Each tag carries the name of wounded or fallen members of the Armed Forces, their rate (rank) the war in which they served and thanks from Fremont Mischief.

The stills for Fremont Mischief’s distillery were crafted in Germany and are all named after women. PHOTO COURTESY OF FREMONT MISCHIEF The commemorative package was introduced around Veterans Day and Sherlock has traveled to the Exchange at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Joint Base LewisMcChord to tell people about it. While at the bases, Sherlock will make another customized dog tag in addition to the tag that comes on the package. “We’ve found soldiers, sailors will come up to us and say ‘I served with this guy. I’m getting (a tag) for him and carrying it with me so they’ll never be forgotten,’” he said. “That’s the big thing we’ve noticed. This way they’ll never be forgotten and it makes everyone aware of what (people in the Armed Forces) do for us.” Sherlock will be

Representatives from Fremont Mischief will be at the NEX on Seaplane Base from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16. Those interested may have additional custom dog tags created to go along with the tags already on each bottle of “Carry the Lantern” Commemorative Soldier Whiskey. 25 percent of the proceeds from each bottle sold is donated to Freedom Is Not Free, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting wounded service members and their families, and families of the fallen.

Mike and Patti Sherlock are the founders of Fremont Mischief. The company has come out with a commemorative whiskey that honors soldiers. Each package contains a dog tag with the name of a fallen or wounded soldier.

A maximum of five bonus bucks will be issued to customers per single transaction. Rounding up is not allowed and multiple transactions cannot be combined to reach the threshold amount. “Select NEXs have been offering Bonus Bucks during the holiday season for the past three years,” said Mike Powers, Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) Director Retail Operations. “Customers have responded very positively to this promotion, so we’re offering it again this year. NEX Bonus Bucks are our way of thanking our customers for shopping at their NEX during the holidays and to encourage them to come back in January for extra savings.” NEX bonus bucks will be redeemable in any NEX from Jan. 3 through 31, 2012, on all merchandise and services except uniforms, gasoline, NEX and third party gift cards and concession merchandise.

ANA/PBY | FROM PAGE 1 “As an 8-year-old boy, I remember my mother crying, and talking about what had just happened,� said Weisbrod. A resident of coastal New Jersey, he also has vivid memories of ships being sunk by German submarines operating off the East Coast. “The Pearl Harbor attack sort of set the course of my life,� said Weisbrod. “I knew right then that I wanted to be a hunter and tracker of submarines.� As the meeting speaker and presenter, Weisbrod sought to paint a picture of that day for the benefit of those in his audience too young to remember the attack. “While it was a horrific loss of life, it’s amazing more people were not killed,� he said. One of the power point slides listed casualty statistics by branch of service and civilian status — these included 11 children in a school building, said Weisbrod. “In spite of this tragedy, it’s amazing how everybody ‘turned to,’� he said, employing a familiar Navy expression. “Even the civilians in the shipyard pulled together, and united with one purpose in mind: To defeat this enemy, and not let those lives be in vain,� he said. Black and white photos and footage, including some very familiar to most, vividly illustrated the damage caused by the attacks. Less apparent on the surface were the changes that would occur in American life, due to the United States being ushered into World War II, said Weisbrod. “Our young people today don’t know about rationing, and scrip,� he said. “Kids in every school had paper drives, and metal drives; we collected bacon fat for the war effort. “There were air raid drills now on both coasts, because while the Japanese attacked at Pearl Harbor, Nazi Germany had every intention, all along, of stopping us from supplying Europe with necessary materials,� he said. Just as with the 9/11 attacks, there is a lesson to be drawn from the Pearl Harbor, said Weisbrod. “As a citizen: Stay on top of what your government is doing, and don’t let the downsizing of our military get out of hand,� he said.

“It’s when we are militarily weak, that bad countries try to take advantage of us.� The two organizations also welcomed an intelligence briefing given by Intelligence Specialist Third Class Brianna Fernandez, and Cryptologic Technician (Technical) Second Class Brad Belflow, of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132. Fernandez outlined the support VAQ-132 gave many other countries in Operation Odyssey Dawn and Operation Unified Protector during conflict in Libya. She also showed a short video of an aerial raid above Tripoli. Weisbrod offered a respectful tribute to not only current service members fighting for their country, but to long-time PBY member Adolph Meisch, who passed away recently. “He (Meisch) was such a fervent supporter of our Navy, our military,� said Weisbrod. “He and Dolores never missed a meeting.� Upon adjourning, PBY member Siggens presented chairman Richard Rezabek with a fitting memento of the Navy’s closing days in the Pacific theater: A telegram, yellowed with age, dated June 1945, belonging to Siggen’s father, Ray, who served as aide to Commodore Jimmy Grant. The telegram expressed congratulations “for making a successful rescue in Kagoshima Bay.� The telegram, signed and sent by Admiral Halsey, will be displayed in the PBY Memorial Foundation and Naval History Center on Seaplane Base.

SMILEY | FROM PAGE 4 busies themselves with their notes. No one wants to be called on. Then some brave soul — someone who can’t stand the crickets any longer and who knows that sooner or later the teacher will start picking random people anyway — raises his hand and volunteers an answer. Everyone else sighs with relief. Military men and women are those people, the ones who raise their hand and save the shy kid in the back of the class from his worst nightmare. Unlike high school, however, military “volunteers� receive “free� (in quotes because nothing is ever really free, least of all military “benefits�) healthcare and tax-free groceries. And then the military volunteers get married and things become really complicated:

I didn’t raise my hand. Dustin’s paycheck does not include my first name. I’m still practicing democracy despite living under the shadow of an organization that involves forced volunteerism. It’s as if Dustin raised his hand in class and then told the teacher, “I bet Sarah knows the answer to that.� But didn’t I know this when I married him? Especially because I grew up in the military? Yes, of course, I knew all these things in the same way that someone trying to get pregnant knows that having a baby will ultimately mean many sleepless nights, premature gray hair and stretch marks. I knew it in the same way that someone applying to college knows eventually they will be stressed about term papers, school loans and exams. I knew it in the same way that someone who brings a puppy into their home knows the pet will one day

because they “volunteered� to do work many others would not. For instance, I’m thankful that someone else hauls off my trash, that someone else plows the highways, that someone else mans the pediatrician’s phone in the middle of the night. I’m also thankful that it is my husband, not me, who deploys, and that someone else gets the power lines back up after a storm. I don’t know if all of the above means others should be grateful, too. I don’t know if it means these people are entitled to something. I don’t know if theirs is still a sacrifice given that they are paid and knew what to expect. I just know that these people raised their hand when the crickets were chirping. And I am grateful. Sarah Smiley is a syndicated newspaper columnist, author and military wife.

grow old and die. Sometimes we want something so badly, all the related struggles are entirely worth it, or at least, tolerable. But that doesn’t make them any easier. Try asking a new mother, “Well, didn’t you know that you wouldn’t get a full night’s sleep for the next 18 years?� On second thought, don’t try that. The point is, sometimes we know what we are getting into, but we do it anyway, usually because we believe the benefits or importance outweighs the risks. I think this is true of any profession. However, some professions require more sacrifice. So when I write that we should thank a policeman, fireman or other individual in a position of service, it’s not because I think they are entitled or that they should be pitied, as if they’ve been forced into something against their will. Rather, I think we should thank these people
