TREASURE COAST — South-east Florida Honor Flight is getting ready to spread its wings again to give area World War II veterans a chance to see the me-morial dedicated to them on the National Mall. “We fly in certain times of the
year,” Michael Roberts, chairman, said. “Obviously it’s way to hot in (Washington, D.C.) right now, and in winter it’s too cold.” The next one-day trips are
scheduled for Sept. 7 and Oct. 19. The local Honor Flight group, called a “hub,” won’t have flights again until spring. The flights depart and arrive at the Palm Beach International Airport. Mar-tin County Commissioner Doug Smith of Jensen Beach will be on the Sept. 7 flight as a guardian, a volunteer who spends the day with a veteran. This is his fifth Honor Flight as a guardian.“There’s the amazement of what
these veterans go through over that 15-hour or so period of time,” he said. “It’s amazing to

Veteran uses military skills to turn Palm City company into one to watch
PALM CITY — Custom Agro-nomics will never be a household name, but it is a company to watch. “We are a manufacturer of
liquid fertilizers, bio-stimulants and specialty chemicals for the golf and agriculture industries,” co-owner Mike Williams said.Williams is a 1995 graduate of
the U.S. Military Academy, West Point. He served until 2000, mostly at Fort Benning, Ga. He made captain, and said the mili-tary experience greatly prepared him for business success. “Certainly organizational skills,
management skills,” he said. “Doing more than you have time to do.” A glance inside his office shows
how deeply the military experi-ence shapes Williams’ work life. Proudly displayed on his desk is his West Point shako, stovepipe hat. On Monday, Aug. 5, GrowFL
named Customer Agronomics as
one of its 50 Florida companies to watch, Getting on the annual list is a coveted prize among young companies. The Business Development
Board of Martin County nomi-nated Custom Agronomics. Tim Dougher, executive director, said that being named among Grow-FL’s companies to watch helps companies in many business circles. He said it was impres-sive that Martin County had two finalists. The other was a Stuart company. “It’s definitely an honor for these
tWo companies and puts them on the map for the future,” he said. Williams said Custom Agronom-
ics isn’t constricted to creating a product line customers can take or leave. It has developed a way to customize its products to buy-ers’ needs. “We have a patent-pending tech-
nology that allows us to do some things no one else in the world can do,” he said. Custom Agronomics does those
things with silica. “Silica has been used in agricul-
ture for quite a while,” Williams
said. “If you apply the right form to a plant, it can make the plant tougher. It’s always been very difficult to work with silica.” He went on to explain, “(Silica)
has a lot of benefits, and people have always understood the ben-efits, but it’s very difficult to mix

watch.”He added, “It gets ridiculously
emotional. You have these men and women who a long time ago played a significant role in our nation’s history — to a person, they all say what they did was the norm; it’s what anyone would do.”Smith and other guardians don’t
just volunteer to spend a day with the veterans. They pay $400 to watch after them. Money well spent, Smith said. He’s worked with at least a dozen charities, but Honor Flight has been one of his favorites. “Anyone who participates gets
more than they can imagine out of it,” Smith said. “It’s really cool to see how well done it is. It is the best run volunteer organization I’ve ever been a part of.” The veterans pay … well, Honor
Flight figures they paid for the trip with their service. Taryn Kryzda, Martin’s county
administrator, went on an Honor Flight to accompany her father, a World War II veteran. She said it was among the most emotional times she’s shared with him. She, of course, paid $400 to go. “I wanted to buy his ticket, too,
and they said, ‘No way,’ she said. “We pay for the veterans all the way.” The Honor Flight Network is a
national program with dozens of hubs. The National World War II Memorial was erected in 2004. The Honor Flights began, almost by accident, a year later. Honor Flight Southeast Florida start-ed in 2009. The local hub also
started Operation Homecoming at its April 27 flight this year. It organized hundreds to be at the airport after the April and May flights to greet the returning vet-erans. The hub is organizing the return greetings for its September

and October flights, too. Martin County Commissioner
John Haddox of Palm City said the county’s current veterans ser-vice office supervisor, Tony Reese, more or less got the hub started. Haddox was the office’s super-visor at the time. He retired and ran for the Commission last year. “We were at a county veterans
service officers conference, and a guy from the (Florida) West Coast mentioned (Honor Flight),” Had-dox said. “Tony asked me if he could organize a meeting about it. I told him that’s fine.” Haddox said he was busy with
other veterans projects, and felt Reese was doing a great job with Honor Flight. He made a manage-ment decision to stay out of his way. “They took it — it took off like
crazy,” Haddox said. “It was coor-dinated by the county’s veterans service office.” Among those who got involved
early on was the Martin Coun-ty Firefighters and Paramedics, International Association of Fire Fighters 2959 -- which organized and leads what’s turned out to be the largest fundraiser each year for the flights -- an annual fill-the-boot drive. Firefighters from Martin County and other agen-cies head out to parking lots to ask folks to fill firefighters’ boots with money.
And fill they do. “Our average weekend is
$55,000 a weekend, over three days,” John Davidson, president of the union said. “One thing about Honor Flight,
100 percent of what we get off the street goes to Honor Flight,” he added. Davidson is also the operations
coordinator for the local hub. He makes certain there are planes, buses, food, emergency medical care and anything else the veter-ans will need ready for them. He said veterans pay nothing for the Honor Flight trips, making fund-raising critical. After all, Honor Flight isn’t getting a few tickets for each flight; it rents a whole plane. Sometimes two. “The whole flight with buses,
police escorts and food, it’s about $80,000 a trip,” Davidson said. “The planes about $55,000, $60,000.”The average trip sends 85 to 90
veterans to D.C., Roberts said. In addition to volunteer guard-
ians paying their ways, and the boot drive, Southeast Florida Honor Flight has other fundrais-ers through the year. But, David-son said the hub still depends on people acting on their own. “If we didn’t have all the indi-
vidual donations, we couldn’t do

this,” he said. “We’re looking at $250,000, really more like $300,000, a year to do this.”Surrounding everything
Honor Flight does is a sense of urgency. It can’t last for-ever, because World War II veterans won’t. According to an Associated
Press estimate, the once 16.1 million World War II veterans are dying at a rate of more than 1,100 a day. Only about 2 million are living, according to a recent report by the De-partment of Veterans Affairs.No one has an exact daily
mortality count, but the VA, AP and others have developed the same estimate by using long-form census data, VA data, and standard mortal-ity tables. The VA estimates that America will have almost no World War II veterans by 2020. If the oldest lives as long as Frank Buckles — the last surviving American World War I serviceman — America will lose its last World War II veteran in 24 years, 2037.Buckles died in 2011 at age
110. The youngest World War II veterans were born in 1927 and are 86. In addition to Honor Flight
Southeast Florida there’s an-other local hub, Space Coast Honor Flight. That volunteer group takes 25 veterans a trip. It has a flight scheduled for Aug. 24. That flight will be from the Orlando Internation-al Airport. It also has flights scheduled for Sept. 28 and Oct. 19. Honor Flight Southeast Flor-
ida is on the web at honor-flightsefl.org. Space Coast Honor Flight is at spacecoast-honorflight.org. For more about the nation-
al Honor Flight Network, see honorflight.org. Information about the Washington, D.C. World War II Monument is at wwiimemorial.com.
FLIGHT from page 4A battle remembered
In the spring of 1944, the 28th Division, 109th
Infantry, was was engaged in the Italian campaign at the crossing of the Volturno River. The Ger-mans had stalled the allied forces in a last effort to save Rome. Action was furious, with day and night bombardment. Private Steven E. Munchak, a medic, was there. This was war! Munchak was born in Scranton, Penn., mar-
ried, and a licensed mortician when drafted to the Army in 1943 at age 22. He had previous service with his unit from 1937 through 1939 with basic and medic training he was shipped with his unit to North Africa then to northern Sicily during the Montgomery campaign. In December 1943, the di-vision moved on to Italy and in December 1943 on to eastern Italy (Anzio). By spring, the campaign was stalled with furious combat on both sides, a horrible stalemate. Rome was the allied goal but the Germans stood firm. The Volturno River was the battleground. Many bodies of dead soldiers were reported floating in this Italian river. Until Italy, Steve Munchak hadn’t experienced
intense combat, though as a mortician, he was familiar with death.Conditions were minimal with two-person bun-
ker living. The medical aid bunker wasn’t much bigger. The Axis forces made daily artillery barrages
and night air raids with phosphorus clouds de-scending from German flares engulfing the battle-grounds. Here wounded and dying soldiers were tended
to by Munchak, wounded and dying soldiers left a deep depression on him which today is termed “traumatic brain syndrome.” To this day, the 93-year-old veteran’s emotions
arise when talking about war to the point of tears. His subsequent discharge was given on Oct. 30, 1944, on the basis of mental and physical disabil-ity which was classified as permanent. He returned home to his wife and a newborn
baby girl. Years later, he retired from the post office and moved to Sebastian, where he now
resides. He tells an interesting story about the infamous
“Axis Sally,” an American citizen broadcasting propaganda for the Axis forces in Rome to the Allied Forces. G.I. Joes were amused by her radio programs coming from the Excelsior Hotel in Rome. In March 1944, a task force was organized with the mission of capturing her at the Excelsior Hotel in Rome. Steve Munchak was included as its medic. Leaving the battle lines, working north-west to Rome, the task force braved screeching stuka dive bombing and German scouting along the approach. The attempt failed as “Axis Sally’’ eluded the troops that occupied the Excelsior Hotel. On the second floor, General Mark Clark established his planning area. In the next room was the medical aid station manned by Pvt. Steve Munchak ...

VA reaches out to veterans about the health care law
WASHINGTON — The Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs has launched an awareness campaign and a new website, www.va.gov/aca, to let veterans know what the Affordable Care Act means for them and their families. Veterans receiving health care
from the Department of Veterans Affairs will see no change in their benefits or out-of-pocket costs when portions of the Affordable Care Act take effect next year. “VA wants all veterans to receive
health care that improves their health and well-being,” said Eric K. Shinseki, secretary of Veterans
Affairs. “If you are enrolled in VA health care, you do not need to take any additional steps to meet the health care law coverage stan-dards. If you are not enrolled in VA health care, you can apply at any time. “VA encourages eligible Veterans
who are not enrolled in VA’s health care system to take advantage of the world-class care we provide to the men and women who have served this Nation in uniform.” Shinseki added.Veterans can apply for VA health
care at any time by visiting www.va.gov/healthbenefits/enroll, call-ing 1-877-222-VETS (8387), or visiting their local VA health care facility. Full details on eligibility are available at www.va.gov/opa/

One final item: Steven A. Munchak has been on 100 percent disability since his discharge in October 1944, but recently reduced to 80 percent by the Veterans Administra-tion. Now they are trying to go further down to 60 percent to this wheelchair-confined vet-eran at age 93. Is that any way to treat a WWII veteran who served his country in combat?

publications/benefits_book. VA’s health care system for
veterans has no enrollment fee, no monthly premiums and no deductibles. Most veterans also have no out-of-pocket costs, though some may have small copayments for some health care or prescription drugs. “VA will continue to provide
veterans with high-quality, comprehensive health care and other benefits they have earned through their service,” said Dr. Robert Petzel, VA’s chief phy-sician and undersecretary for health. The Affordable Care Act was
created to expand access to coverage, reduce rising health care costs, and improve health care quality and care coordina-tion. The Affordable Care Act creates new opportunities for coverage for uninsured veter-ans and their families. There are more than 1.3 mil-
lion veterans and more than 950,000 spouses and children of veterans without health in-surance. Most uninsured vet-erans are eligible for VA health care. For those who are not eli-gible for VA care — such as vet-erans’ family members — the law created a new Health Insur-ance Marketplace. In 2014, the Marketplace will
be a new way to shop for and purchase private health insur-ance. People who purchase in-surance through the Market-place may be able to lower the costs of health insurance cov-erage by paying lower monthly premiums. For more informa-tion, visit www.healthcare.gov. For information about VA
health care and the Affordable Care Act, VA encourages vet-erans and family members to visit the new website at www.va.gov/aca, or call 1-877-222-VETS (8387), Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. or Saturdays from 11a.m. to 3 p.m., Eastern time. The new website includes a Health Ben-efits Explorer, where veterans can learn about the benefits they can receive if they enroll in VA care.

10 • AUGUST 9, 2013 • VETERAN VOICE • THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE
with other chemicals. What we’ve done — we’ve eliminated all that with the discovery of a new type of silica that can be mixed with virtually anything.” The possibilities are broad. One
is sure to be quite popular with most everyone. “The really cool thing is people
can use less chemical pesticides,’ Williams said. “By using this product, you’re reducing the use of chemical pesticides.” Custom Agronomics does inter-
national sales from the Caribbean to Asia, but Florida remains its primary beat. The state has an abundance of two businesses that use its products — citrus and golf. Citrus more so than golf. “The average golf course uses
our product on only three acres,” Williams said. “You look at a cit-rus grove; that’s 10,000 acres.”Florida is the second largest or-
ange juice producer in the world. According to many reports, the state’s citrus industry generates about $9 billion in sales and creates about 75,000 jobs. While the industry is facing tremendous challenges with the continued and unrelenting spread of a plant disease commonly called citrus greening, it remains an econom-ic powerhouse for the state. The bacterial infection is spread by the Asian citrus psyllid. On the golf side, Custom Agro-
nomics has a rare swing to play. “We don’t sell to the golf cours-
es,” Williams said. “We sell to the people who sell to the golf cours-es.” That is distributors dealing with
a market that was hit hard by the recent protracted recession and slow recovery. They’re hungry for any and every advantage they can get to create customer loyalty. Custom Agronomics can not only custom formulate products for
distributors, but it can put them in bottles with their names. “We can go out to the distrib-
uters and offer them a full prod-uct line with their name on the labels,” Williams said. “They can build a brand in the marketplace. They can sell a product with their name on the package. We can even make literature pieces to support these products.” The formula has been a hit for
the almost four-year-old compa-ny. It now has 10 workers and is tracking to do $3.5 million in sales this year. Dougher said the trend among
economic-development circles in the last decade has been focusing on helping and attracting small-er, local companies, rather than investing resources on bringing in bigger companies. “Every big company in the world
has started with 10 people,” he said. Dougher said that companies
such as Custom Agronomics diversify the county’s economic base, helping to insulate it from large swings in particular indus-tries. Williams said Martin County was
a natural place to grow the com-pany. It has easy access to major transportation routes and is close to a large customer base. “That’s where we’re hedging our
bets — on the Florida agricultural market,” Williams said. He noted that citrus is just one
product the state grows that uses Custom Agronomics products. It also has large strawberry, tomato and pepper production. Custom Agronomics has also
benefited the county by targeting its employment.“We’ve been heavily involved
with the (Business Development Board) with programs to help the unemployed that need skill train-ing,” Williams said. The company is online at cus-
tomagronomics.com.

Veteran Voice is a weekly publication designed to provide information to and about veterans to veterans and to the broader community. Veterans are an integral part of their Florida communities, which currently have individual organizations of their own, such as the Veter-ans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Vietnam Veterans of America and many other groups with a nar-row focus, but no convenient way to connect to a wider population of veterans and to the community in general within a limited geographic area, their community. The mission of Veteran Voice is to publish a weekly source of information that will provide, in one place, a listing of resources available to veterans, articles about changes in policies or organizations affecting veterans and events of interest to veterans as well as articles about veterans of interest to the general public. Veteran Voice LLC is organized as a partnership of experienced newspaper executives with an interest in veterans and in the communities of Florida veterans and friends. Veteran Voice is a start-up intended to ad-dress a perceived lack of information readily available to veterans on programs and policies affecting them and objective reporting of veteran affairs to the public.To our knowledge, and based on comments from lead-ers of local veterans organizations, there was no media or website currently meeting this need until the launch of Veteran Voice. We hope you agree, and will support this publica-tion with your subscription. Without subscriptions there will be a limited number of people we can help, without which this mission will not be realized. As part of our commitment to supporting local veteran communities, we will donate 10 percent of our profits each quarter to qualified veteran charities recommended by you, our readers and subscribers. Please let us know what you think by emailing [email protected] or mailing your comments to us at 1919 S.W. South Macedo Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34984.
