During a solemn ceremo-ny at the National Law Enforcement Offi-cers Memorial in northwest D.C. officialsfrom The U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, NavalCriminal Investigative Service, and NavalDistrict Washington Police Departmentpaid their respects to their fallen with awreath laying ceremony.

“The law enforcement profession isan extended family,” said special agentAndrew Traver, NCIS director, during hisremarks to the assembled guests. “Thesenames etched in stone, along with 20,000others, will endure for many years. Yetwe all know that the impact of their livesand of their actions in our minds and inour hearts is far greater than what can bedepicted on a monument in their honor.”

After an invocation and remarks, awreath was placed at the center of thememorial by NCIS special agent TaaronWashington and Capt. Floyd Freeman,NDWpolice, to a rendition of Taps playedby a trumpeter from “The President’sOwn” U.S. Marine Band brass quintet.

by those who took part. For Masters-at-Arms 2nd Class Stephanie Bolding andMorgan Casey, Sailors attached to NDWPolice Department at the WashingtonNavy Yard, the responsibility of readingnames from the roll call was tremendous.

“I am honored to be here today,” saidBolding. “Not only for myself, but for thefamilies and fellow Sailors and personnel,to be able to honor those who have diedin the line of duty.”

Bolding and Casey volunteeredthrough their chain of command, sayingthey were both eager to play a role in sup-porting the force.

“Any sort of involvement in somethinglike this is really great,” added Casey.“It just really gives you a sense of pridethroughout the whole ceremony. It’s anhonor to be here and a very humbling ex-

perience for us all.”During the reading of the roll call, Sgt.

David Cobb and Cpl. Towana Tibbs, bothof the NDW Police Department, placedflowers on the seal of the monument foreach of the fallen personnel. A renditionof “Amazing Grace” was played before thebenediction, and the ceremony endedwith guests joining speakers to tour themonument, honoring the fallen.

Before departing, the Sailors reiteratedthe theme of family among law enforce-ment personnel, citing the dedication feltbetween them.

“Being a part of the whole law enforce-ment family, there’s no camaraderie likeit,” said Casey. “Any one of these guys willbe there for you, civilian or military. Thelove and support for each other is end-less. That’s why we’re here today.”

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, Chiefof Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. JonathanGreenert, along with prior CNO’s, servicemembers and civilians gathered at the NavyMuseum at the Washington Navy Yard tocelebrate the 100-year anniversary of theappointment of the first CNO and the cre-ation of the office of the chief of naval op-erations staff May 11.

The CNO is the senior military officerof the Department of the Navy, a four-staradmiral and is responsible to the Secretaryof the Navy for the command, utilization ofresources, and operating efficiency of theoperating forces of the Navy and of the Navyshore activities assigned by the Secretary.

“The presence we provide right now re-quires us to have Sailors, Marines and plat-forms that are ready to perform missions atany moment -- that’s what the CNO makeshappen,” said Mabus.

As a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,the CNO is the main naval adviser to thePresident and to the Secretary of the Navyon the conduct of war, and is the principaladviser and naval executive to the Secretaryon the conduct of activities of the Depart-ment of the Navy. Assistants are the ViceChief of Naval Operations (VCNO), the Dep-

uty Chiefs of Naval Operations (DCNOs),the Assistant Chiefs of Naval Operations(ACNOs) and a number of other ranking of-ficers. These officers and their staffs are col-lectively known as the Office of the Chief ofNaval Operations (OPNAV).

“The CNO hasn’t done it alone,” saidGreenert. “He has an OPNAV team, as I havean OPNAV team.When it all started the CNOhad three subordinates. In 1916 there waslegislation to remedy this and it said it willenlarge the staff to no less than 15.”

Greenert went on to commend his stafffor their hard work and dedication.

“The office today defines the requirementsfor the future fleet and it does it pretty darnwell,” Greenert said. “It resources for produc-tion and it knows that its job is to organize,train and equip. I’m very proud to lead theOPNAV staff of today, and what you do todayis important and the fleet knows you’re herefor them. It helps us be ready for war.”

Greenert also spoke of prior CNO’s ac-complishments during their terms in theoffice, including that of the first CNO, Adm.William S. Benson.

“Adm. Benson oversaw the largest shipbuilding program in history, at that time,and that was the expansion of our Navy forWorld War I,” said Greenert.

Admiral William S. Benson was the firstCNO, taking the position on May 11, 1915,

holding the position through World War I,and overseeing the operations of more thana half million Sailors and two thousand ships.

The ceremony included music from theU.S. Navy Band, parading of the colors fromthe U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard, strikingof the bells to close the first 100 years of of-fice operation and a cake cutting to com-memorate the occasion. Greenert, alongwith Adm. James Holloway III, cut the caketogether. Holloway, the twentieth chief ofnaval operations, is the oldest living CNO.

Greenert thanked Adm. Holloway for hisdedication as CNO, adding his deep appre-ciation for the mentorship from Hollowayduring his own tenure while CNO.

Beginning on May 11, and continuingthrough the remainder of the year, the Navywill commemorate the 100th Anniversary ofthe CNO andOPNAV staff through a numberof initiatives.

Commemorative events, material andinformation can be found at http://www.history.navy.mil//.

A new pedestrian turnstile gate at theWashington Navy Yard is currently underconstruction at the intersection of TingeyStreet and Isaac Hull Avenue.

Construction on the project began lastweek and is expected to continue to mid-August, said James Watts, NAVFAC Wash-ington deputy public works officer. Headded that the project’s relatively shorttimeframe is due in part to the simplicity ofthe construction.

“There’s not a whole lot involved in theproject,” said Watts. “As you come downIsaac Hull Avenue you have the nice perim-eter fence of brick and metal lattice at thetop, and then it stops. We’re going to extendthat down to Tingey Street, and then therewill be a black metal gate there, and thenwe’ll pick up the brick columns on the otherside, and then the actual turnstile will be on

the sidewalk side north of Building 197.”The Tingey Street turnstile will be pe-

destrian access only. While a gate does existat the turnstile’s location, Watts explainedthat there are no plans to make that a newvehicle access point for the Navy Yard. Theturnstile was first proposed by Naval SeaSystems Command and is being fundedby Naval Facilities Engineering CommandHeadquarters Antiterrorism and Force Pro-tection office. As a result, Watts said, the ex-tra gate will be a benefit to the command atno additional cost. He said it also provideseasier access to that portion of the base.

“Without that gate people have to walkdown to the turnstiles by the Riverwalk, butwith this turnstile it’ll just be short walkright down that road,” said Watts. “It’ll alsomake it easier for people to leave and comeback during lunch and take advantage ofplaces like Harris Teeter and the other res-taurants down there.”

Watts said construction should runsmoothly barring extreme weather or other

unforeseen event. He added that even withthe relatively short construction time need-ed, extra care is being taken by constructioncrews not to disrupt vital services to the yard.

“There are a lot of utilities there,” saidWatts. “And with the gate itself, we have toverify exactly where to place the gate col-umns with everything that’s underground.So once we have the exact locations of thosecolumns we can quickly do the measure-ments and then order the gate to size so it’llbe exactly right and just put it in place.”

When the gate is complete, Watts said itsconvenience will ease pedestrian traffic atother access points on the yard.

“I think it’s going to be a convenient ac-cess point for people who do like to takeadvantage of the area just beyond wall forlunch or even grocery shopping after work,”said Watts. “They can leave and come backwithout having to take a long walk either upto the front or back end of the base.”

MD, DE, & DC Elks State Association Camp Bar-rett Junior Warriors program

In 1946, the Elks declared, “So long as there are vet-erans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks willnever forget them.” and the Elks have served the veter-ans since that date. The Maryland, Delaware, and D.C.Elks State Association has determined that the chil-dren of those veterans will be provided for as well. Byestablishing the Junior Warrior program the Elks willprovide a week of camp to children of our active dutyservicemen, National Guard and wounded warriors.These children will be recommended to the Elks by themilitary for the appropriate weeks. These special JuniorWarrior campers will have their $125 fee paid for by thecaring donations of the Elk members and those willingto support this program.

This week at camp will be able to provide a time ofrelief and enjoyment for these children. Most of thesechildren have to face unique situations in an unfamil-iar environment. They have the constant fear of loss orinjury to their parent during deployment along withthe constant reminder that they are not there to tuckthem in at night or kiss the scrapped knees and watchtheir school activities. The Elks hope this week at campwill help ease some of the stress from their young lives.

NSAW News BriefsFor children living in Fisher houses and having parentsin Wounded Warrior units, these fears have come topass. They have now had to learn to adapt to a life nowfocused at the hospital and/or area in which their par-ent is recovering in.Many of our young JuniorWarriorshave had to leave their local schools, friends and neigh-borhoods so they can be closer to their parent. Noneare a happy environment for a child during a summer.As Elks, we are trying to give the gift of “being a kid”for at least a week to our Junior Warriors, as well as let-ting them know that we respect and acknowledge thesacrifices their family hasmade to protect our country.

Camp dates are Boys: June 21, June 28, and July 5;Girls: July 12, July 19, July 26

From the National Park

The National Park Service, in partner-ship with the Maritime Administration, to-day announced the award of approximately$2.6 million in Maritime Heritage Programgrants for projects that teach about andpreserve sites and objects related to our na-tion’s maritime history.

“Our maritime heritage is woven into thenation’s history and identity,” said DirectorJonathan B. Jarvis. “These grants will not onlyhelp preserve our maritime resources for fu-ture generations, but many of these projectswill also directly connect communities to thatheritage through educational outreach andinvolvement in preservation efforts.”

“Since our nation’s very beginning, sea-farers have helped build, defend and pro-vide for our way of life in the United States,and the National Maritime Heritage GrantProgram preserves and promotes thatproud maritime legacy,” said Maritime Ad-ministrator Jaenichen. “The projects wereso worthwhile in providing education andpreservation of our maritime heritage assetsthat MARAD provided more than $800,000over the original funding amount to support

additional projects that were highly recom-mended by the Federal review panel.”

National Maritime Heritage Grantawards are made possible through a part-nership between the two federal agenciesthat share a commitment to maritime heri-tage preservation and education. Fundingis provided by the Maritime Administra-tion through the recycling of vessels fromthe MARAD’s National Defense ReserveFleet. The grant program supports a broadrange of maritime education and preserva-tion projects, without expending tax dollars,while ensuring that the vessels are disman-tled in an environmentally sound manner.

The Maritime Heritage grants are avail-able to state, tribal, and local governments,as well as private non-profit organizationsfor education and preservation projects.Education projects are funded in amountsbetween $25,000-$50,000; preservationprojects are funded in amounts between$50,000-$200,000. Education grants can beused for programs such as school curricu-lum, interpretive programs and web pages,and preservation grant projects can includethe rehabilitation or restoration of ships andother maritime resources.
