Eligible Sailors will begin receiving Hardship Duty Pay - Tempo (HDP-T)in their December midmonth paycheck Navy officials announced Nov. 10.

The Department of the Navy HDP-T proposal, authorized by the secretaryof the Navy earlier this summer, was approved by the Department of De-fense, Sept. 17. It authorizes the pay for Sailors and Marines, active dutyand reserve, deployed beyond 220 consecutive days as of Sept. 17.

Sailors and Marines will receive HDP-T on a prorated daily basis of$16.50, not to exceed a monthly rate of $495, when they are operationallydeployed beyond 220 consecutive days.

USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and USS George H. W. Bush StrikeGroup were among the first units eligible to receive HDP-T. Bataan re-turned to Norfolk, Virginia, Oct. 31, while Bush is scheduled to return homein November.

Sailors and Marines on those platforms accrued the pay since Septemberand will see the full amount earned in their midmonth December paycheck.

Sailors and Marines will receive the pay on a monthly basis. Reservistsserving in individual augmentee assignments that meet the 220-day thresh-old will receive their pay upon completion of their mobilization.

The DoD has authorized HDP-T for two years. Military pay systems are being updated to handle payment of HDP-T with implementation byDec. 1, allowing time for eligible service members to see the pay in theirmidmonth paycheck.

The goal of detailing is to place the best Sailorfor the job in each billet. Over the last few yearswe have been working to improve our enlistedmanning process to support commands’ man-agement of their personnel and provide accu-rate information on billet needs to NavyPersonnel Command (NPC).

Currently we fill jobs based on manning re-ports that do not fully reflect billet-level needsor accurately identify a Sailor’s current as-signed position. This means we can’t accuratelymeasure or ensure enlisted personnel readi-ness, leaving gaps in the “Fit” of skills-to-position requirements. To do that we areimplementing Billet Based Distribution (BBD)to allow leadership to effectively manage “Fit”

by aligning people to positions and make bet-ter-informed detailing decisions. 1. What is Billet Based Distribution (BBD)?

Billet Based Distribution (BBD) will replace ormodify many of the antiquated personnel sys-tems allowing for greater flexibility and im-prove our ability to react to unexpected eventsor issues. Building on the Career Management

November 21, 2014

I want to start off by thankingthe Support Site residents for thelarge turnout at Tuesday’s TownHall for next year’s conversion of11 family housing buildings tounaccompanied housing. Therewere some great questions andvalid concerns, and I greatly ap-preciated the dialogue and the op-portunity to hear directly fromthose impacted by the transition.As I said on Tuesday night, wewill work with each family indi-vidually to come up with a work-able plan. Moving our single and unaccompanied service membersfrom Capodichino to the Support Site allows them to partake morefully in the MWR services that are mostly located there. Also, thehousing re-assignment options and flexibility from the Housing de-partment should make this beneficial for nearly everyone involved.

The holidays are quickly approaching and Thanksgiving is nextweek. Tonight at the hospital, the chapel team and USO are holdinga single Sailor dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. There are more opportunitieson Thanksgiving Day with MWR and USO, so everyone should havethe opportunity to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal. MWR issponsoring the Turkey Trot tomorrow morning on the Support Site.It’s a one-mile fun run with the kids starting at 8 a.m. at CentralPark and the 10k race next. The weather is great right now for thelonger runs, and I hope to see another great turnout for this familyoriented fitness event.

The holidays and time off can sometimes create challenges for oth-ers, especially with our busy work schedules. Being overseas addsanother layer of challenge, which magnifies the other stressorswe’re handling. If you or someone you know is reaching the pointwhere help is needed, realize that the support network is ready andavailable. I don’t want anyone to suffer in silence, especially withall the amazing resources and responsive command leaders wehave. Fleet and Family Support Center, the hospital and chapel allhave professionals who are here to help. We are a tight knit com-munity and everyone should be on the lookout for signs of overlystressed coworkers and friends. It’s a mark of courage and strengthto reach out for help, don’t think otherwise.

Another thing to be mindful of is crime and remembering to stayvigilant. I encourage everyone to be attentive to their surroundingsand to always lock vehicles and activate home alarms. If you planto visit loved ones back in the U.S., make sure you let coworkersand trusted neighbors know about the trip. They may be able to turnlights on occasionally to make it look like someone is still home.Park your vehicle on base during the trip if feasible. Those stayingin Naples over the holidays also need to remain alert to possiblehome and vehicle break-ins as well. There has already been a risein petty crime, which is common this time of year. Keep ‘S5I’ inmind: See Something Suspicious, Say Something Immediately. Re-port criminal activity to base security.

Being overseas, we rely on each other more. Let’s all be good neigh-bors and safely enjoy the holiday season.

Neapolitans Observe Re-headingThe Statue of the Nile God was officially unveiled

in Naples after restoration last weekend. The ancientRoman marble statue dates from the 2nd to 3rd cen-tury B.C. It was restored through a fundraiser cam-paign titled “Let’s settle down,” promoted by theCommittee for the Restoration of the Statue of theNile. The restoration included the head of the sphinxwhich was detached and stolen during the sixties. Re-cently the head was found in Austria by the Italianpolice and returned to its owner. The statue can nowbe admired in its entire splendor thanks to Italianand foreign donors who financially support the work.

I’d Buy That for a Euro!At least 50 people are competing for €1 homes for

sale in the Sicilian village of Gangi. British, French,American and Brazilians visitors came to visit therural village after word quickly spread internation-ally earlier this year. Buyers must pay purchasingcosts of around €6,000 aside from the €1 fee. Thetotal cost of renovation work on the homes couldrun to €35,000. Local authorities are scrutinizing50 applications and potential buyers need to comeup with ideas for developing the village. Among theproposals were bed & breakfasts, an internationalcookery school and a producer want to set up a filmset. Residents were very supportive of this initia-tive which has been prompted to other municipali-ties with low budgets in order to revitalize theircommunities.

Castle Christmas Market Brings Out the Bestof Campania

Christmas market at the Limatola Castle is an eventyou cannot miss. The castle is located in the Beneventoprovince, about 35 km northeast of Naples. It was builtby the Normans on the site of a Lombard tower, andafter decades of neglect was renovated in 2010 by alocal entrepreneur who opened a restaurant mainly forwedding and official ceremonies. This year if is the 5thannual “Cadeaux at the Castle,” which showcases thebest crafts made in Campania. All visitors are greetedwith a fragrant “vin brule” and delicious roasted chest-nuts. Young children are cheered by Santa Claus withcandy and other treats. Local products, Christmas dec-orations, local artisans and gifts are available to visi-tors to enjoy. Presepi, local Christmas nativity scenes,are displayed in the Chapel of St. Nicholas. The castleis open 21-22-23 Nov. and from 28 Nov. to 8 Dec. Open-ing hours: 10 a.m. – 11 p.m. Ticket is €5 euro, free ofcharge for children under 10.

Searching for your next set of orders can be astressful yet exciting evolution for a Sailor and theirfamily. Once you get “penciled in” , one big part ofthe process in preparing for the move, especially ifyou are going overseas or a remote duty location, isthe medical suitability screening process.

In September 2014 NAVDMIN 203/14 was releaseddefining new requirements for overseas and remoteduty screenings. Effective immediately, service mem-bers must complete their overseas screening processprior to the release of orders. Service members have30 days to get their screening completed and 60 daysfor their family members. Sailors that do not complywith the new time requirements will lose their pro-posed orders and be subject to the needs of the Navyassignment without further negotiation.

Why are medical screenings so important? After all,active duty service members are always ready forthe mission! And why does your family need to re-screen when you are negotiating orders from Naplesto Rota? They are both overseas locations!

First, the medical screening process ensures thatevery family member meets with a provider to dis-cuss their current health and wellness. It gives themedical provider the opportunity to review yourunique healthcare needs to determine if the locationyou are going to has the medical support to care foryou and your family. Medical treatment facilities(MTFs) vary in size and capabilities. Some duty lo-cations may have medical care only for primary careservices while others, such as Naples, may have lim-ited specialty services. Sometimes, medical willneed to discuss your unique care needs with thegaining MTF to ensure your family’s medical care re-

quirements are able to be treated appropriately atyour next duty station so that you and your familymaintain your mission readiness.

U.S. Naval Hospital Naples will help you throughyour medical screening. We do not want it to bestressful! As soon as you get your letter of intent foroverseas or remote duty please schedule an over-seas/remote duty medical screening appointmentwith your provider for you and your family. Stop bythe hospital and meet with the Patient Administra-tion Fleet Liaison team who can walk you throughthe process to completion.

If you have any questions on medical suitabilitygive our fleet liaison team a call at DSN 629-6325 oremail us at fleetliaison@med.navy.mil.

For more information about local Fleet and Family Support Center(FFSC) events, visit www.facebook.com/NaplesFFSC.

The practice of using military decorations tohonor individuals or fighting organizations datesback to antiquity.Early awards were usually used to recognize

leaders in the nobility and military class of soci-ety.According to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Mu-

seum, the Egyptians had the Order of theGolden Fly, a golden necklace that they deco-rated with flies to signify themselves as a pesti-lence to the enemy. Later, Roman soldiersdecorated the leather lappets that hung fromtheir belts by attaching tokens and discs to sig-nify the campaigns in which they fought. Finally,necklaces and bracelets were given during theearly Middle Ages, evolving into richly jewelednecklaces, often with a pendant (commonly amedal) attached.Henry Dorling wrote in “Ribbons and Medals:

The World’s Military and Civil Awards” thatNapoleon was among the first to recognize theeffect that ribbons had on the morale of commontroops. Bonaparte ordered a large number of rib-bons and medals for issue to the soldiers servingunder his command. These early devices werenot designed to be worn on a uniform duringeveryday service and were largely for presenta-tion and formal dress.Ray Raymond wrote in “The Badge of Military

Merit” that for the United States, the first for-mal medals for military service would be recog-nized during the American Civil War. Theawards were usually issued on an unofficialbasis by local commanders and had no prescrip-tion for their display. According to “Naval Cere-monies, Customs, and Traditions”Sixth Edition, Connell & Mack,Soldiers usually chose to wearthem over their left breast, keep-ing with a custom that was tracedfrom the practice of Crusaderswearing badges of honor on theirorder near the heart. The left sidewas also the shield side and pro-tected both their heart and thedecoration. Swords, another sym-bol of status, also were worn onthe left side in order to be quicklydrawn by the right hand. The tra-dition was incorporated into offi-cial uniform regulations sometimeafter the Spanish American War,when several medals were author-ized to commemorate the conflictand commanders needed to pro-vide guidance for their exhibitionin a uniform manner.

Navy uniform regulations show that the WorldWar I practice of using clasps to denote cam-paigns on medals was discarded in favor of usingthree-sixteenth inch bronze stars on ribbons.After the war, the practice of using small deviceson the ribbon to symbolize multiple awards andvalor in combat became more common as ribbonsbegan to replace medals as the method of dis-playing awards during working days.As a result, the custom of wearing the ribbons

of the medals on a ribbon bar began during thisperiod. The Army and Navy used different prece-dence for wearing these ribbons, which resultedin a separate criteria for the creation and wear-ing of awards by each service that remains tothis day.Some awards were created to be worn purely

as ribbons. When worn on dress uniforms incombination with medals, they are worn on theright breast.Some high level officers contain such a variety

of awards that when wearing all the colorful rib-bons in conjunction with the extravagant goldentrim on their dress uniforms. According to AirForce Uniform regulations, this is known aswearing their “scrambled eggs and fruit salad.”Today, the personal decorations that a Sailor

wears on their uniform marks not only individ-ual accomplishment, but serve as a record of anindividual’s service. To the trained eye, a Sailor’sribbon stack can reveal their service to ship-mates before they even formally meet. Even formembers no longer serving it is not uncommonto see participants of military organizationsproudly display their ribbons and medals ontheir clothing to advertise their performanceduring their time in the service.

Crime Report for Nov. 12 - Nov. 18From the NSA Naples Command Investigative Division and NCIS

Computers, cable boxes, chargers, televisions, appliances,and other common, electrically powered, devices can besources of phantom power drain. A device that causes phan-tom power drain is one that consumes electricity even whenit is turned off.

Electricity can be conserved by unplugging these deviceswhen not in use. The quickest way to cut power to these de-vices is to incorporate the application of switchable power strips. The power stripscan restrict the flow of electricity distributed to the devices with the flick of aswitch. Phantom power drainage has a significant effect on energy consumption.It is not always enough to simply turn off devices. Drainage could be reduced ifelectronics were unplugged or plugged into a power strip that is switched off whenthe devices are not in use.

System – Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID)BBD will upgrade software programs usedin the enlisted detailing system and provideaccurate and timely manning informationto Fleet personnel managers via the web.They will have greater access to theirSailors’ information, and in most cases, willsee the same information available to de-tailers and placement coordinators. The endstate will be a near complete overhaul of ourcurrent electronic manning systems. Thenew system will be more comprehensiveand flexible providing greater transparencybetween our organization, commands andour Sailors.

2. Why is BBD Needed? In addition tobeing outdated, our current processes usemanning reports that do not fully reflect thebillet-level needs of Navy commands or ac-curately identify Sailors’ current assignedposition. This hinders our ability to accu-rately measure or ensure personnel readi-ness, leaving gaps in the “Fit” – meaningsome positions are filled with Sailors whodo not possess the needed skills for the job.BBD is a focused effort to support fleet per-sonnel managers, so they will see most ofthe changes. Although the process behindthe scenes will change, Sailors will not haveto learn a new system. To Fleet Sailors, theupgrades will be seamless.

3. What are the Capabilities and Benefits ofBBD? BBD will allow command personnelmanagers, detailers and placement officersto more reliably assess a vacant position’simpact on readiness. Ultimately, BBD will

help drive improved personnel readinessacross the Fleet. Specific goals include:

•The alignment of every enlisted Sailor,who is available for assignment, to a Navyposition.

•A system that has the tools and accuratedemand signal needed to maximize ratingand Navy Enlistment Classification (NEC)“Fit”

•The capability to better use availablePermanent Change of Station (PCS) andTemporary Duty under Instruction (TDI)funds.

•The capability to forecast future fleet va-cancies which will lead to better Sailor andFleet customer service.

•The foundation for an improved assign-ment process.

4. What do I need to do now? As always,Sailors should review their records often foraccuracy – especially for the NECs theyhold to ensure accurate information for thedetailing process. Leaders and personnelmanagers should begin educating them-selves on the process to prepare for thetransition. Training materials will be avail-able soon on the PERS-4013/PlacementManagement on the NPC website atwww.npc.navy.mil/enlisted/placement/Pages/default2.aspx. A new instruction is inwork to replace the EDVR Manual and aBBD User Guide. These materials shouldbecome available later this spring. BilletBased Distribution will not be static butcontinue to develop and improve to betterserve the Fleet.

Gunner's mate "a" Schoolupgrades to Wireless Firearmstraining Simulator

Previously, students were trained using a tetheredfirearms training simulator, but now have the abilityto train with weapons using commercial wirelessBluetooth technology. The wireless weapons commu-nicate with the FATS, giving the same control as teth-ered weapons, but with a full range of motion.

"The new wireless weapons replicate the fit and func-tion of live weapons providing the same accurate, real-time training diagnostics as did our older tetheredweapons simulator, but better," said Cmdr. Gregory C.Ludwig, commanding officer, CSCSU. "Students arenow afforded a broader range of motion - as the newBluetooth-equipped weapons are wireless with no ex-ternal components."

According to Ludwig, to further enhance the virtualfirearms training experience, weapon recoil isachieved with a rechargeable magazine of compressedair. This is significant in that while not tethered, theseweapons retain full sensor feedback for robust diag-nostics and after action review.

"If you took your own personal firearm out to the rangeand fired, you wouldn't have any cables coming off of it,"said Matt Wooldridge, CSCSU weapons instructor. "Itfeels like, operates and looks like the real deal."

Students use a M9 9mm pistol as well as the M-16rifle in class, which is the same weapons previouslyused, except without the cables, and are the sametypes of weapons used in the fleet.

"These weapons are just like they are going to getout of a weapons locker on board ship," said LennySwaney, CSCSU weapons instructor. "This simulationallows the students to get more accustomed to theweapons, as they have the same realistic feel."

Lt. Joseph Luthy, director, combat systems "A" schoolat CSCSU, believes this latest technology is a signifi-cant upgrade for the students because of the more re-alistic features of the weapon simulator.

"Any time you have a cable tethered to something, itfeels as if you're firing something other than aweapon," said Luthy. "Students more likely to followthe weapons handling safety precautions with a real-istic weapon, which helps them put the right foot for-ward in the future." CSCSU GM "A" school isapproximately 27 weeks long and has an average an-nual throughput of 386 students. GMs are responsiblefor the operation and maintenance of guided-missilelaunching systems, underwater explosive weaponssuch as torpedoes, rockets and missiles and the sys-tems used to launch them, gun mounts and other ord-nance equipment, as well as small-arms magazines.They work with electrical and electronic circuitry andmechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

"Combining this Bluetooth technology with our sea-soned instructors makes weapons training as realisticas possible," added Ludwig. "Our eventual goal is forstudents to safely achieve weapon handling experi-ence that allows them to quickly and accurately qual-ify on a live range; it saves the Navy both time andmoney."

Career opportunities for active-duty female Sailors are abundantwith the Women Ashore program, Navy detailers said Nov. 12."There are opportunities for female Sailors to earn their InstructorNavy Enlisted Classification (NEC) (9502), their master trainingspecialist qualification, corrections specialist NEC (9575), or eventheir Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) instructorNEC (9505)," said Chief Yeoman (AW) Anna Masterson, detailer,Shore Special Programs.

Currently available billets include:

• Instructor Duty at Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes,Illinois. This duty is primarily designated for Navy Military Train-ing Instructors (NMTI). NMTIs at Great Lakes perform essential"Sailorization" functions for thousands of apprentice-level ("A"school) students following their initial accession training at RecruitTraining Command. There are currently 17 E-5/E-6 billets avail-able, and those selected will earn a 9505 NEC en route.

• Transient Personnel Units (TPU) Jacksonville, Florida; Norfolk,Virginia; and San Diego. TPUs are responsible for the efficient andexpeditious processing of all transient personnel assigned and theoperation of the disciplinary barracks. TPU customers includethose Sailors traveling to a deployed or underway command, per-sonnel being separated from a deployed or overseas command whohave orders, and personnel transitioning between two commands.There is one E-5 billet available at Jacksonville, one E-5 billet atNorfolk, and three E-6 billets at San Diego.

• Navy Consolidated Brigs (NAVCONBRIG). Brig duty enablesSailors to develop their leadership skills through work in a chal-lenging and demanding environment. Duties include guarding, di-recting, guiding, mentoring and training incarcerated men andwomen for successful reintegration into society. Those selected forbrig staff duty will undergo three weeks of Corrections SpecialistTraining at the Naval Corrections Academy in San Antonio wherethey will earn the 9575 Correctional Custody Specialist AshoreNEC. There is currently one E-7 (NEC 3529) billet and one E-5(NEC 3527) billet at NAVCONBRIG San Diego, one E-4 billet atNAVCONBRIG Chesapeake, Virginia, and one E-7 and two E-6 bil-lets at NAVCONBRIG Charleston, South Carolina.

"I have never been more confident in my detachment's capabil-ities and readiness," said Kay. "I have the right people, and theytruly are America's best."

HSM-35 Detachment 1 will consist of one MH-60R and one MQ-8B. The Fire Scout will complement the MH-60R by extendingthe range and endurance to enhance maritime domain aware-ness. The deploying aviation detachment will consist of 24 per-sonnel who are qualified to operate or perform maintenance onboth the MH-60R and the MQ-8B.

"We are the first squadron to bring all three components to-gether with the MH-60R, the Fire Scout unmanned system, andthe littoral combat ship," said Kay. "It's exciting to be at the cut-ting edge of Naval Aviation as part of HSM-35."

As the next generation submarine hunter and anti-surface war-fare helicopter, the MH-60R Seahawk is the cornerstone of theNavy's Helicopter Concept of Operations. The MQ-8B Fire Scoutsystem provides unique situational awareness and precision tar-get support for the Navy and complements the MH-60R by ex-tending the range and endurance to enhance maritime domainawareness.

Littoral combat ships are expected to routinely deploy with oneFire Scout and an H-60 as part of the ship's surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and mine countermeasures mission pack-ages.

Fort Worth also departed San Diego Nov. 17 for the ship's sched-uled deployment to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility.

The flagship of Exercise Bold Alligator 2014 (BA14), am-phibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), was one ofthe final underway units to return to Naval Station Norfolk,Nov. 10.

BA14 was a two-week, multinational exercise hosted bythe U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps to strengthen corecompetencies in the areas of amphibious operations andbilateral command and control.

"Everyone worked tremendously hard," said Capt. DavidBossert, commanding officer of Kearsarge. "All of the taskforces planned and executed multiple missions, each ofwhich were successful. It's been the measure of effective-ness and everyone made it home safely."

This year's iteration of Bold Alligator focused on crisis re-sponse missions to include non-combatant evacuations,theatre security and humanitarian assistance.

Although most amphibious exercises are known for shipto shore transport by sea, aviation also played a key rolein the exercise. For the first time, Bold Alligator imple-mented joint service flight operations outside of regularflight deck certifications.

"This was the first time we had blue-green integration onthe flight deck during an actual exercise," said Cmdr. Don-ald Jamiola, air boss on Kearsarge. "Everything went ex-tremely well and flowed smoothly."

There was some concern about weather during the courseof operations, but every obstacle nature put in place wasovercome.

"It was challenging to complete flight operations due tothe weather, but we successfully completed 340 launchesand recoveries," said Jamiola. "Everything went extremelywell and flowed smoothly."

Participants of BA14 included representatives fromSTRIKFORNATO, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico,Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UnitedKingdom and United States. Participating ships includedUSS Kearsarge (LHD 3), USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), USS Ar-

lington (LPD 24), USS Fort McHenry (LSD 43), USS OakHill (LSD 51), USS Hue City (CG 66), USS Laboon (DDG58), USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41), USS Winston S.Churchill (DDG 81), USS Farragut (DDG 99), USNSChoctaw County (JHSV 2), USNS John Lenthall (TAO189), USNS Medgar Evers (T AKE 13), USNS Apache (T-ATF 172), HNLMS Johan de Witt (L801, Netherlands),HDMS Niels Juel (F363, Denmark), ARM Baja California(PO 162, Mexico) and BAP Islay (SS 35, Peru).

Each surface combatant was assigned to one of three am-phibious task groups.

"All three amphibious task groups planned and executedcontingency missions, which is much more complicatedthan a large-scale assault," said Bossert. "If the weatherdidn't permit, an alternate course of action was developedand executed."

Bossert was very proud of the work done, specifically byKearsarge Sailors and Marines, to prepare for a mission ofthe magnitude and importance of BA14. The ship sup-ported not only the assigned crew, but also embarkedtroops and staff totaling more than 3,280 people.

"Coming into this event, there was a substantial amountof repair, cleaning and preservation work done to get theship ready," said Bossert. "There was an untold amount ofwork done by Sailors and Marines assigned to USSKearsarge, and they have done a phenomenal job."

Bossert went on to praise the Kearsarge crew for the timeand dedication they put into making BA14 a success.

"My Kearsarge crew is made up of great Americans andpatriots," said Bossert. "They worked really long hoursknowing that this exercise was very important to our coun-try. I can't say enough about the effort, the care factor,which went into making sure that this ship was ready. Itcould not have been done without the crew."

Bold Alligator took place Oct. 29 - Nov. 10, afloat andashore along the Eastern Seaboard.

Nov. 11 is Veterans Day in the United States butthough the name is different it’s one of the fewshared non-religious holidays we have some of ourlong-standing allies. Originally called Armistice Day,Nov. 11 marks the end of fighting in World War I.The U.S. has been involved in many wars and forthe most part we don’t celebrate any of their end-ings, but World War I was different.

Though only joining the war after Germany usedunrestricted submarine warfare against Americanvessels and Germany attempted to persuade Mexicoto launch an invasion of the southern U.S., theUnited States would lose more than 100,000 servicemembers. This was a small loss compared to theBritish who lost more than 800,000 and the Frenchwho lost more than a million troops. On the otherside of the conflict Germany and Austria-Hungarylost nearly three million in four years of warfare.The total combined losses for all armies would beeight million dead and 21 million wounded. At 11a.m. on Nov. 11 all that came to a close.

Though already celebrated annually, ArmisticeDay became a public holiday in 1938 and in 1954 itbecame Veteran’s Day to honor all veterans of priorwars. In Britain it’s called Remembrance Day, or“Poppy Day” and in France it’s still Armistice Day.I have never seen as much support for Veteran’sDay in the United States as I saw for RemembranceDay in London. There were many memorials, cere-monies and events, but also smaller commonplaceshows of support made it that much more special.This year being the 100th anniversary of World WarI made it more memorable than most.

I stood out quite badly the first few hours I was inLondon, at least that’s how it felt. Everyone I cameacross in the street or on the tube had a red poppypinned to their lapel except for me and I had no ideawhere to get one. Most were small paper poppiessold by the Royal British Legion, a veteran’s organ-ization, but my first morning back in town I didn’tsee a single one! I asked a few people where theygot theirs at but the answer was always the same,

“I’m from (Not London) so I don’t know, I’m just hereto see the poppies at the Tower!”

Incidentally that’s what brought me to London aswell. The Tower of London moat has been dry forover a century now but recently it was refilled, notwith water but ceramic hand-made poppies. Theystarted “planting” them Aug. 5, the 100th anniver-sary of Britain’s joining the Great War and hadbeen adding more and more since growing in ten-drils and waves outward from the Tower walls tothe moat’s outer edges.

Called “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red,” thememorial is a special exhibit-memorial that ex-isted for a short time. Like a floral sea, the poppiesfilled the moat entirely and had a rippling, wave-like quality in their arrangement with morespilling from a tower window and others crest overa Tower walkway.

The number of poppies was seemingly endlessand uncountable but there is was a very particularnumber attached to them- 888,246. This is because888,246 British and Commonwealth service mem-bers died in World War I.

Every day until Nov. 11 poppies were added to themoat and every night at sundown a Yeoman-Warderof the Tower walked into the field of red accompa-nied by a bugler. With little preamble he read thenames and regiments of 180 service members, fin-ishing with the Ode of Remembrance and exitingthe field. The bugler then played the “Last Post,”which is an analog to the playing of “Taps” in theU.S. As he finished, the poppies and tower wallswere illuminated with soft red lighting.

During my trip, I visited the Tower on two differ-ent days and couldn’t physically see the differencein added flowers between the days. Telling of whatthe loss of a few hundred ordinary lives meant insuch a destructive conflict, I’ve never see the humancost of a war so powerfully yet simply stated.

Reflecting on the memorial, as a servicemember, I recognized that could be me or some-one I know, someday. One amongst many in theendless tide. An estimated four million people sawthe poppies during the three short months theywere up and a few days after the last one was

planted they had begun beingtaken down. Paul Cummins, thememorial’s creator, had said thatits short-lived presence reflectsthe transient nature of humanexistence.

Viewing the poppy-filled moat Italked with other people who’dcome to see it and it wasn’t un-common to hear of a personalconnection. Throughout theweekend I talked to peoplearound me and listened to theirstories. Many lost family to oneor both World Wars, had servedor had serving family and a fewof them could claim all three.Though the Tower memorial istemporary the RemembranceSunday Parade has been heldsince World War I’s end. The dayitself is still honored on Nov. 11,but big ceremonies and paradesare held on the nearest Sunday.The biggest of these parades is onLondon’s Whitehall, the roadwhich runs between Parliamentand Trafalgar Square, which isalso the location of the Cenotaph.The Cenotaph is the memorial toBritain’s war dead and was in-stalled after World War I.

The great spectacle of militarybands and service membersparading and playing has been atelevised staple in Britain since1947. Being so different thanwhat I’m used to seeing the vari-ety of uniforms, bearskin caps,kilts and sometimes ceremonial

garb that goes back centuries,made it really stand out alongwith the music, most of which Ididn’t recognize outside of “RuleBritannia.” These things youcould see just by watching televi-sion, no need to spend hours at aparade, but there are parts tele-vision doesn’t quite catch.

It’s not just that bands soundbetter live, but it’s also the timein line to get into the area aroundthe cenotaph and hours spentstanding as the chill keeps youcompany. It was also talking tomy neighbors and finding outwhat brought them out. The cou-ple beside me was proud theirdaughter was in the Royal AirForce band on parade and an-other gentleman came to Londonfor the Cowboys vs. JaguarsAmerican football game butturned out for the parade sincehe was in town. Near the statueof Churchill he pointed out his fa-ther was a member of the Cold-stream Guards, best known forthe changing of the Guard atBuckingham Palace, who foughtin World War II and protected SirWinston Churchill when he wasprime minister.

After bands filed in and theirformations blocked all but the topof the Cenotaph from view, theyplayed orchestral music until 11a.m. sharp, when Big Bensounded and the music stopped.As it clanged we observed twominutes of silence and a buglerplayed the “Last Post.”

The Bishop of London came outand gave a benediction that wefollowed with songs from the pro-gram. Well they could, I couldn’t.The last song in the program onlygave the title because it’s as-sumed you already know thewords- “God Save the Queen.” Icould wear a poppy to blend in,but in this I couldn’t hide the factI was not local.

Then the Queen came out andlaid the first wreath at the Ceno-taph that was followed by more.That was all for the wreath lay-ing ceremony, no long speeches asI was used to for such things.

Afterwards the veteran’s paradebegan, signaling the beginning ofthe end for the RemembranceSunday ceremony. Formations ofveterans proceeded to march pastas we clapped for them, and thenmore and more came. It was hardto keep up the clapping the wholetime as it took over an hour forthem all to pass.

The marchers were an interest-ing lot, men and women of allages, some in old uniforms butmost in suits with their medalspinned to them and sometimeschildren. One of the people nextto me explained that the childrenwith the chests full of medalswere marching in a deceased par-ent or grandparents’ place.

After them the bands marchedout and most of the crowd dis-bursed, but a good number of usflocked to the cenotaph itself tosee the wreaths placed along itsbase or to have one added.

At nearby Westminster Abbeythere was another standout tem-porary memorial, the Field ofRemembrance. What’s uniqueabout this miniature, home-made, wooden cemetery withpoppy adorned crosses, is thatevery one of its small memorialscome from the Field’s visitors,like the wearing of poppies it’s alot of small, personal acts thatadd up to a greater whole. Lookat a row of cross and you’ll seenames written on them in verydifferent handwriting often ac-companied by words like ‘Dad’ or‘Grandad.’It’s organized by sec-

tion for service, nation and war,with the current Afghanistan sec-tion standing out for the picturesattached to each cross. I was sur-prised to find an American sec-tion, not quite as heavily filled asmost of the surrounding ones butstill with its fair share of memo-rials to Americans who’ve died inwars since 1917.

Westminster Abbey is alsohome to the tomb of the Un-known Warrior, who was re-moved from a battlefield inFrance and re-interred here in1920. I learned that quite by ac-cident the night of Nov. 10. Stop-ping into Victoria Station for aquick dinner I heard a militaryband playing inside the station.They were there for a small me-morial ceremony held at Plat-form 8 involving veteran,auxiliary and cadet organizationthat laid wreaths by a stationmemorial noting that on Nov. 10,1920 the Unknown Warrior wasoffloaded on this platform andheld here until morning when itwas brought to WestminsterAbbey.

The last event I partook in wason Nov. 11, the two minute si-lence at the Cenotaph. It was es-sentially a smaller scale repeat ofSunday’s silence. A crowd gath-ered around the Cenotaph for theobservance and as soon as it wasover most of us dispersed, back towork or in my case to catch atrain. It was small and lackedthe pomp and circumstance ofRemembrance Sunday or the cre-ative beauty of the Tower pop-pies, but will still stand out inmind because of what happenedlater. Sitting at the airport pub

and drinking tea I watched SkyNews broadcast the observance,not just at the Cenotaph butaround Britain at schools andmilitary bases, in France, Bel-gium and with British troops inAfghanistan, which made meproud to have taken part insomething that honors the sacri-fices made by those who’ve gonebefore us observed simultane-ously all over the world.
