Walter Reed National Military Medi-cal Center (WRNMMC) recognized the1920 ratification of the 19th Amend-ment, Aug. 27, with a Women’s Equal-ity Day presentation. The ceremonyacknowledged the legislation that gavewomen the right to vote, and celebratedrecent victories of equality women havewon.

“I believe our ‘differences’ are moreabout our perceptions of what is ‘natu-ral’ for the sexes rather than fact, other-wise known as bias or stereotyping,” saidkeynote speaker Army Master Sgt. StaciHarrison.

Army Capt. Kristen Griest, a militarypolice officer, and Army 1st Lt. Shaye Ha-ver, an Apache pilot, became the first fe-male Soldiers to complete Ranger schooland pin on the tab, Aug. 21. Initially, 17other women began the training with thetwo but in the end, only Griest and Haver

made up the 24 percent of Soldiers whopassed the rigorous course.

“They hadn’t trained as infantrymenso those are tasks they had to learn, buthad nothing to do with their gender,” ex-plained Harrison.

Ranger school is described as “theArmy’s premier combat leadershipcourse teaching Ranger students how toovercome fatigue, hunger, and stress tolead Soldiers during small unit combatoperations,” Harrison explained. Griestand Haver not only finished the 62-daycourse, but one helped at least one com-rade do the same, according to Harrison.

“During an interview, one of the Sol-diers who earned his Ranger tab saidthat he couldn’t have gotten through it ifone of the females hadn’t helped him car-ry his ruck sack. [He said] all the othermales passed him by, but she helped himpick up his ruck sack,” Harrison recalled.

“This course has proven that everySoldier, regardless of gender, can achievehis or her full potential,” Army SecretaryJohn M. McHugh said, offering congratu-

lations to all of the new Rangers upontheir graduation last month. “We oweSoldiers the opportunity to serve suc-cessfully in any position where they arequalified and capable.”

Although both Griest and Haver com-pleted Ranger training, neither will beeligible to join the 75th Ranger Regi-ment—the assignment is closed to fe-males, for now. Harrison encouraged thecrowd to reevaluate their dedication toending discrimination against women,despite recent triumphs.

“Do one thing for a better world,” themaster sergeant urged attendees at theequality presentation. She encouragedthe crowd to find out more about women’srights struggles around the world. “Sup-port organizations working to promotewomen’s rights and equality. Hold anevent to raise awareness about the issueof equal rights for all.”

“I love being a woman,” Harrison said.“I just don’t want to be eliminated fromcontention for an opportunity solelybased on my gender.”

Bethesda Notebook

The end of summer is uponus. We know this as we wit-ness the start of school, some-what cooler temperatures andthe arrival of Labor Day.

The start of school meansthat our children will be onour roads, streets and cross-walks and we need to slowdown to help ensure theirsafety. I’m not talking aboutjust on the NSA Bethesdacompound, but everywhere.I’m personally asking every-one to be alert and vigilant -slow down and stop for schoolbuses when they are droppingoff our kids instead of impa-tiently going around them.The safety of our children de-pends on it.

So as our children enduretheir “back to school” transi-tion, our nation will celebratethe contributions of the American labor force onLabor Day. According to the U.S. Department ofLabor’s (DOL) website, the first Labor Day holi-day was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882 inNew York City.

More details about the history of Labor Dayfrom the DOL: “In 1884, the first Monday in Sep-tember as selected as the holiday. The idea spreadwith the growth of labor organizations and in1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many indus-trial centers of the country.

“The form that the observance and celebra-tion of Labor Day should take was outlined in thefirst proposal of the holiday — a street parade toexhibit to the public ‘the strength and esprit decorps of the trade and labor organizations’ of thecommunity, followed by a festival for the recre-ation and amusement of the workers and theirfamilies. This became the pattern for the celebra-tions of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent menand women were introduced later, as more em-phasis was placed upon the economic and civicsignificance of the holiday.

“The character of the Labor Day celebration

has undergone a changein recent years, especial-ly in large industrial cen-ters where mass displaysand huge parades haveproved a problem. Thischange, however, is morea shift in emphasis andmedium of expression.Labor Day addresses byleading union officials,industrialists, educators,clerics and governmentofficials are given widecoverage in newspapers,radio, and television.

“The vital force of laboradded materially to thehighest standard of livingand the greatest produc-tion the world has everknown and has brought

us closer to the realizationof our traditional ideals of economic and politi-cal democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, thatthe nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the cre-ator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom,and leadership — the American worker.” (Source:http://www.dol.gov/laborday/history.htm)

On a personal note, I want to say how much Iappreciate your daily efforts on behalf of patients,customers, visitors, staff and their families. NSABis a microcosm of American society and just as wecelebrate the American labor force, so too shouldwe celebrate our vital efforts as an essential partof it. Thank you!

As we celebrate the end of summer, the begin-ning of the new school year and the Labor Dayholiday, please take a moment to reflect on all wehave accomplished. You are the key component ofour team and we need you to continue accomplish-ing our various missions. Please keep safe as weenter a new season and continue our efforts tomake Naval Support Activity Bethesda an envi-ronment for patients to heal, staff to thrive andguests to feel at home.

Last year, Naval SupportActivity Bethesda (NSAB) col-lected 750 pounds of food to do-nate to the Feds Feed Familiesannual food drive. So far, theinstallation has donated 400pounds in this year’s drive withjust one month left to go to col-lect donations.“There are people who are

not so fortunate to have a job orbe able to provide food for theirfamily,” said NSAB ReligiousProgram Specialist MauricioMelo.Melo said the food drive

started during the first week ofJuly and will end Oct. 5, withthe non-perishable items beingdonated to the Capital AreaFood Bank. The most neededitems are canned tuna, salmonor chicken; canned vegetables;

canned fruits; brown and whiterice; pasta; hot and cold ce-real; canned or dry beans; pea-nut butter; juices and healthysnacks such as granola bars,according to the food bank.In addition to dropping off

non-perishable items in theboxes on the installation, do-nations of fresh food (fruit,vegetables, herbs and nuts)

can be made directly to a localfood pantry. Go to www.ample-harvest.org/fff to find local foodpantries that are acceptingfresh food.NSAB is one of several U.S.

Navy bases in the NationalCapital Region as well as sev-eral federal organizationsparticipating in the Feds FeedFamilies program this year,

which was started in 2009 as away to help keep food pantriesstocked in the summer months.Jennifer McDowell, Feds

Feed Family national programmanager, said the program wasstarted to address hunger inthe summer months.“It was started to find a way

to meet the need in the summermonths when kids are out ofschool and don’t have access tolunches at school,” she said. “Itcoincides with the time whenfood donations go down.”In 2014, the Feds Feed Fami-

lies program raised 14.8 millionpounds of food. Since its incep-tion, nearly 39 million poundsof food has been collected.More than 2 million pounds

To continue enhancing thepatient experience and ex-tending resources for provid-ers, Walter Reed NationalMilitary Medical Center’s(WRNMMC) Inpatient Oncol-ogy ward is now formally apart of the WRNMMC’s JohnP. Murtha Cancer Center ofExcellence (MCC).The MCC, in Building 19,

is the military health caresystem’s only Department ofDefense-approved Center ofExcellence for cancer care, andprovides outpatient cancerservices. The center includesseveral clinical departmentsand services, such as pediatric,dermatologic, urologic, gyneco-logic and radiation oncology.The inpatient ward, locatedin Building 10, treats patientsrequiring intensive regiments,and those with more aggres-sive types of cancer who mayneed a bone marrow trans-plant. Additionally, the in-patient ward offers palliativecare for those in end-stages ofcancer.During a ceremony Aug.

26 on the Inpatient Oncologyward, staff gathered for an un-veiling of the MCC’s logo, nowhanging in front of the ward’snurses’ station.The MCC and Inpatient

Oncology ward have always

been one team, but the cer-emony solidified their part-nership, explained Maj. Gen.(Dr.) Jeffrey Clark, WRNMMCdirector. These staff membersput the patient at the center,and they recognize the im-portance of implementing amultidisciplinary approach,he said. They have collabora-tion between a diversity ofperspectives – corpsmen, med-ics, nurses, pharmacists, phy-sicians, residents – and theyall have the same focus, thepatient. This is what allowsus to “provide the care our pa-tients deserve,” he said. “Anextraordinary experience forevery patient, every time …That’s what we do.”The inpatient services have

been an extension of the ser-vices provided in the outpa-tient setting, and so it’s ap-propriate to “formalize” thisalliance, explained Army Col.(Dr.) Jeremy Perkins, chief ofHematology-Oncology.Having these services is

unique – not every medicalcenter has an inpatient on-cology service, and not everycancer center has an inpatientunit, he added.“This really allows us to

treat a broader spectrum ofpatients,” he said.Army Col. (Dr.) Craig Shriv-

er, director of the MCC, ex-plained the cancer center putsforth millions of dollars in re-search, studying best practic-

es, and can continue extendingthese resources to the inpa-tient ward. In turn, the can-cer center benefits from thecontinued research with theinpatient services, enrollinginpatients in clinical trials.Shriver also explained the

MCC’s five principals, as dis-played on their large, purpleand gold logo: expertise, heal-ing, discovery, hope, and car-ing. He encouraged staff eachtime they walk by the logo,on this “phenomenal ward,”

to remember these principalsthey represent, and to takepride in that – the expertisethey bring to patient care, thehealing that occurs because ofthat, the discovery because ofclinical trials, the hope eachpatient brings when they en-ter the facility, and caring forthe patient, as they continueputting them at the center.Cmdr. (Dr.) Anne Hollis, ser-

vice chief of Inpatient Oncol-ogy, expressed her excitementfor their collaboration, and

the many benefits that havealready come from workingtogether. They’ve developeda “chemo rounds check,” as asafety measure, which involvesnurses, pharmacists and doc-tors meeting daily to review,in detail, each patient’s che-motherapy. Additionally, theircollaboration will continue al-lowing staff to rotate betweenhematology-oncology clinics,enhancing their skill set andknowledge of chemotherapies,she said.Formalizing their partner-

ship will also allow their staffan even greater sense of pridein the organization, as theycontinue to “optimize the pa-tient experience, each and ev-ery day,” she added.Staff applauded as the MCC

logo was unveiled during theceremony by inpatient wardnurse Ensign Anieka Cheva-lier, and her patient, retiredAir Force Lt. Gen. Jim Brown,who said he was honored to bea part of the ceremony. He hadnothing but positive remarksabout the “wonderful” carehe’s received.“If something needs to be

done, it gets done,” Brown said.“I’ve never seen such great at-titudes day and night … It’s su-per. You all do a great job.”

Seventy years ago on Sept. 2,WorldWar II ended for the Unit-ed States with the signing of theJapanese Instrument of Surren-der on board the USS Missouri.

The war lasted six years andone day, and during that time,tens of thousands of servicemembers were treated at Wal-ter Reed Army Medical Center(WRAMC) and National NavalMedical Center (NNMC), thepredecessors toWalter Reed Na-tional Military Medical Center(WRNMMC).

Opened in 1909 and namedafter the Army doctor who ledthe team that confirmed yellowfever is transmitted by a par-ticular mosquito species, Wal-ter Reed admitted more than18,000 service members in 1943alone. That figure topped the

previous record of 13,752 servicemembers hospitalized duringWorld War I, according to Armyhistorians.

President Franklin D. Roos-evelt selected the site for NNMCand drew the initial design forhow he wanted the hospitalto appear on his White Housestationery. He laid the corner-stone of the Tower on ArmisticeDay, Nov. 11, 1940. In 1945, atthe end of World War II, tempo-rary buildings were added onthe grounds around the Towerto accommodate nearly 2,500wounded American Sailors andMarines.

Some 70 years later,WRNMMC continues the legacyof its predecessor in caring forservice members and their fam-ilies. Also during World War II,and much like today, the Ameri-can Red Cross had volunteers

Mosquitoes can be relentless this timeof year. It seems that if you swat oneaway, you immediately find three othersin its place. Not only are mosquitoes anuisance, but they also transmit severaldiseases, one of which is West Nile virus(WNV).What exactly is West Nile virus, and

should you be concerned?West Nile virus is an arthropod-borne

virus most commonly spread through thebites of infected mosquitoes. Mosquitoestransmit WNV when they feed on infect-ed birds and subsequently feed on hu-mans. Most people are infected betweenthe months of June and September, whenmosquito populations are greatest.Most people infected with WNV have

no symptoms. Approximately 20 percentof those infected have a mild flu-like ill-ness, and only 1 percent experience se-vere or life-threatening symptoms. Peo-ple over age 60 and those with a compro-mised immune systems have the highestrisk. As with any illness, contact yourmedical provider if you have concerns.To help combat WNV in the area

around Naval Support Activity Bethesda(NSAB), preventive medicine techniciansfrom the Walter Reed National MilitaryMedical Center (WRNMMC) Environ-mental Health Service perform localWest Nile surveillance.Every week in the summer, techni-

cians set up mosquito traps at six differ-ent sites in the National Capital Region.Trapped mosquitoes are sorted and sentto the U.S. Army Medical DepartmentArmy Public Health Center (Provisional)for testing. In the case of a positive speci-men, Army Public Health Center expertsnotify WRNMMC Environmental Healthstaff, who in turn notifies the chain ofcommand and recommends measures toreduce risk for those in the affected area.You can take personal action to further

reduce your risk. Because mosquitoesare the most significant transmitters ofWNV, the best way to prevent the virus isto prevent mosquito bites. Use insect re-pellent when you go outdoors. Repellentsthat contain DEET or picaridin are safeand provide great protection when usedin accordance with the label instructions.Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt,socks, and shoes when outdoors for long

periods of time, especially if you are outduring the peak mosquito biting timeperiod of dusk to dawn. Increase protec-tion by spraying clothes with an insectrepellent that contains permethrin or an-other EPA-registered repellent. Excludemosquitoes from your home by keepingwindows and doors closed or by install-ing screens.To reduce the mosquito population

around your home, eliminate their breed-ing sites by removing standing water.Dispose of plastic containers, ceramicpots, tires, or other items that hold wa-ter. Frequently empty and clean outdoortrash bins, pet water dishes and bird-baths. Clean clogged gutters annually.Empty children’s wading pools when notin use, and turn the pools over to preventunintentional water collection. Aerateornamental pools or stock them withfish. Be aware that mosquitoes need onlya small amount of water to breed, soeven items such as swimming pool cov-ers, tarps, or plastic sheeting may breedmosquitoes if water accumulates andstagnates. If you have a container out-side that you cannot eliminate, considerputting holes in the bottom to providedrainage.West Nile virus is preventable. Be pro-

active and take steps to protect yourselfand your family. There is an added bonus— taking action against WNV virus istaking action against those pesky mos-quitoes.For more information on mosquitoes

and WNV, visit the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention website at http://www.cdc.gov/westnile/index.html.

“We did what we do to-day but my mother wasrolling bandages,” recalledMary Bochanis, who vol-unteered at WRAMC dur-ing World War II. “It wasat the height of the war soeveryone was rolling ban-dages.”

Bochanis also mether late husband Gusat WRAMC. He was anamputee and patient re-ceiving care at WRAMC’sForest Glen Annex, whichthe hospital had acquiredto create a “convalescentsection.” Gus stormed thebeaches of Normandy and,a few weeks later after be-ing injured in Belgium, hereturned stateside.

“Walter Reed wasknown throughout theworld in those years, likethe Red Cross,” Bochanisexplained. I was a volun-teer at Walter Reed andthat’s how we met. ”Shesaid she volunteered at

WRAMC for 10 years andmarried Gus in 1946 afterthe war.

“A lot of amputees…inthe early years we had somany coming through,”Bochanis recalled. “It wasdifferent, they struggledbut morale was incredible.The guys were so up inspite of their injuries, likethe guys today, and this iswhat’s good about whatwe can do for them,” shecontinued. She also re-called “how bulky” the oldprosthesis were and “howwonderful” it would have

been for amputees withwhat’s today, 70 years af-ter World War II.

Deno Reed, a Navycorpsman and one ofsix sons to serve duringWorld War II, spoke of theend of the war and the at-mosphere in the countryat the time. He currentlyvolunteers with the RedCross at WRNMMC.

“It was very positivethat we were now going tobe able to develop thingsin a normal manner, themajority of people I knewand visited were interest-

ed in the redevelopmentof Europe and Japan andhelping service membersdevelop normalcy and getback into civilian life,” hesaid.

Supreme Allied Com-mander, five-star U.S.General of the Army Gen.Douglas MacArthur, ac-cepted Japan’s surrenderon behalf of the AlliedPowers and signed inhis capacity as Supreme

Commander on Sept. 2,1945.

“I was on leave and myparents were pleased thatthey realized their sonswould be returning home,”Reed said. Two years af-ter the war, Reed left theNavy to attend college. Helater became a doctor ofphysiology and audiology.

He began volunteeringat WRNMMC years agoso he could continue to

serve people with disabili-ties as he has for the last50 years, bringing withhim his knowledge andexperiences from WorldWar II-era medicine.

The legacy o fWRNMMC over the last70 years has grown im-mensely because of thecontributions of the manypatients, staff and volun-teers who have served ournation.
