WASHINGTON, D.C. — Members of the United States Air Force Band surprised commuters at Union Station here with a World War II Hol-iday Flashback Dec. 3, 2015.

Th e event was designed to be a special holiday musical presentation celebrating the service and sacrifi ces of our nation’s World War II veterans.

“Th is is the 70th anniversa-ry of the end of World War II. We’re trying to honor our vet-erans from the greatest gen-eration,” said Col. Larry Lang, commander and conductor of the U.S. Air Force Band. “We’ve jumped back into that really cool swing music and designed some music just for them.”

Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James signaled the beginning of the concert by handing a pair of drum-sticks to a solo drummer from the U.S. Air Force Band’s Air-men of Note. Technical Sgt. David MacDonald began the eight-minute performance during which musicians from the U.S. Air Force Band slowly emerged from hiding dressed in World War II-era uniforms

to perform a lively musical arrangement of “Jingle Bells” and “Auld Lang Syne.”

“On a piece like this, I get a little bit more nervous than normal because it’s a big per-formance,” MacDonald said. “Right before we start, I’m trying to get my head in the game, focus on the music, and remember how we re-hearsed the piece.”

Th e spontaneous nature of the performance made it special, but it also created unique musical and logistical challenges, said MacDonald before the event.

“Our challenge is to make sure we remain focused,” said Master Sgt. Tyler Kuebler, a clarinetist with the Airmen of Note. “It’s going to be very reverberant and hard to hear. People aren’t going to be sure what’s happening at fi rst, and we want the audience to be included, to feel like they are part of the experience.”

Including the audience while still capturing the event and ensuring all the technical needs are met created the biggest logistical challenge, said Senior Master Sgt. Den-nis W. Hoff mann, superinten-dent of production.

“We’re doing this at noon at Union Station, one of the

busiest train terminals in the world, so we anticipate a lot of people and a lot of foot traffi c,” said Hoff man. “Th e challenge is producing it so it looks like it’s just this organic thing that happened. No fi n-gerprints left behind.”

Th ese types of concerts are designed to inspire pride in our Air Force and to rec-ognize those who serve our nation in many other capac-

ities, said Lang.Each member of the U.S. Air

Force Band takes this role se-riously.

“A lot of times, we’re the only active duty personnel that members of the com-munity will get to interface with personally, so it’s our opportunity to demonstrate the excellence that our fel-low Airmen throughout the Air Force display every day,”

said Kuebler. “Th is is our way of representing the entire Air Force in our specifi c way with our skills.”

Headquartered at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., the United States Air Force Band is the premier musical organization of the Air Force. Th eir perfor-mances honor veterans and inspire Americans to height-ened patriotism and service.

“Many of the things our Air-men do for our nation go un-noticed. Hosting an event like this in the community allows us to put the Air Force on dis-play in a unique way,” said Secretary James. “Th is Hol-iday Flashback was a won-derful opportunity to honor the dedication and sacrifi ce of our service members, past and present, who have served this great nation.”

Commandant, Naval District

Washington

Season’s Greetings and Merry Christmas Naval District Washington! From my family to yours, I extend heartfelt greetings for a joy-ful holiday season and thank each of you for your role in accomplishing NDW’s mis-sion. What you do each and every day makes a diff erence for our Region and our Navy.

As I refl ect on this past year, I’m reminded of how fortunate we are to live in a free country that allows us to believe, worship, and live

our lives in the manner we choose. Regardless of your faith or beliefs, I think we can all agree that this sea-son, more than any other time of the year, causes us to refl ect on and appreciate those people who are most important in our lives. It’s also a time to highlight and focus on those things that bring us together, that we share in common, and that make us who we are. Diff er-ences are to be recognized and celebrated…they make us a better, more eff ective Navy. Th ank you for who you are.

Let’s never forget those Navy personnel who are op-

erating forward, many serv-ing in harm’s way across the globe, away from family and friends. I ask that you keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Finally, please be safe this holiday season. If you plan to travel, don’t forget to consid-er any hazards and mitigate the risks to your safety. A few moments of forethought can ensure we all have a happy holiday break and return safely for the start of another great year.

Once again, wishing you and yours a safe and joyful holiday season and a pros-perous New Year. God bless you and best wishes for 2016.

Th e Young Marines youth organization is looking for

dedicated volunteers to help revive the Montford Point unit on Joint Base Anacos-tia-Bolling (JBAB). Mont-

ford Point, one of fi ve local Young Marines units in the

Washington, D.C. metropol-itan area, is named after the

Marine Corps camp in North Carolina.

“Th e unit here is on hold. It’s inactive. Reinvigorating that would be good,” said retired Marine Col. Bill Davis. “Th ere is the space for them here. We’ve got the gear for them.”

Davis is the national execu-tive director and chief execu-tive offi cer for the Young Ma-rines National Headquarters located on JBAB.

Th e Young Marines is a community-based nation-wide program launched in 1959 lead by dedicated adult volunteers. Children, from the community at large, ages 8 through high school, can participate in this youth de-velopment program that pro-motes leadership, teamwork

and self-discipline. Currently there are nearly 6,500 boys and girls participating in 298 units across the nation.

Th e Montford Point unit has been struggling over the last year and needs a mini-mum of three adult volun-teers to get the unit going again.

“A parent that cares about the program [and] helps us support and run the unit is what we need,” said Davis. “We help provide a lot of the training and support them [volunteers].”

While the national head-quarters prefers a marine to be the unit commander, it is not necessary.

“What’s necessary is the at-titude of wanting to be there, be positive and structure it for the kids to excel,” said Joe Venable, deputy director of Young Marines.

Th e unit here at JBAB is named after the Montford Point boot camp in Jackson-ville, North Carolina that was established in the 1940s to train African-American Ma-rine Corps recruits. “A couple of the Montford Point alum-ni that actually went to boot camp at Montford Point in

North Carolina were in the area,” said Venable. “So when the volunteers got together and they would come and speak, they said let’s name our unit after Montford Point, which is a huge historical part of the Marine Corps.”

Collaboration is the key to this program’s success.

“Th e program is focused on the Young Marines, the young men and women themselves, but you can’t do it without the volunteers,” said Davis.

Many of the volunteers have prior military experi-ence, but it is not required to become a volunteer.

“As you watch the young men and women go through the program from young to old — the older Young Ma-rines — we really try to em-power them with a sense of leadership and ownership of the unit to help run it. Th e adults are there to assist and advise it,” said Venable.

For more information about the youth program go to www.youngmarines.com. If you are interested in being a volunteer or becoming a Young Marine, please contact Young Marines at 202-889-0502.

Youth program seeks the few, the proud, and not only marines

Jacqueline Sanchez, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) deputy chief of police, was promoted to the rank of major recently by JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Frank Mays. San-chez’s fi rst enlisted supervisor and mentor, Chief Master Sgt. Ellen Jones, had the honor of pinning on the new rank and badge. Sanchez and Jones grew close during her time as a se-curity forces member and have stayed in touch.

“As a young mischievous airman, I was always in her offi ce getting motivational lectures and speeches,” said Sanchez. “As I went up the ranks she would always remind me to ‘let your ethics and craftsman skills speak for themselves.’ She is still always pushing to be the best and has been in contact over 15 years.”

Sanchez was born in Laredo, Texas and graduated from United High School in 1999. She then enlisted in the United

States Air Force that November as a security forces member. During her enlistment, Sanchez was stationed at Bolling Air Force Base ,and was on a special duty assignment at the Pen-tagon.

In July of 2008, she separated from the Air Force, accepting a job a month later as a Sergeant with the Department of De-fense Police Department at Bolling Air Force Base, working as a patrolman and desk sergeant. She climbed the ranks over the next seven years, and was honored as the 2009 Civilian of the Year.

Sanchez sees the promotion as an opportunity to give back to the people she works with, who have helped to boost her to her current position. “Th e promotion to major, it’s an opportu-nity to make positive changes needed to help our department grow,” said Sanchez. “I just hope that I can contribute ideas to help build a strong foundation to help retain our offi cers that continue to make a diff erence here on JBAB.”

Chief Master Sgt. Ellen Jones, the security forces manager at Joint Base Andrews, pins on the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Dep-uty Chief of Police, Maj. Jacqueline Sanchez’s, new badge at her promotion ceremony to the rank of major. Jones was the new major’s fi rst direct supervisor during her active-duty Air Force career here at then Bolling Air Force Base, and the two have stayed close over the last 15 years.

Each year the base holds a special ceremony to light the tree signifying the of-ficial start of the holiday season. This year’s event was held Dec. 2, where families enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa by a bonfire, and holiday music filled the air courtesy of the U.S. Air

Force Band Brass Quintet. JBAB Commander Navy Capt. Frank Mays kicked off the event by welcoming ev-eryone and wishing them a happy holiday season. Then he, with the assistance of his 10-year-old daughter, Beth-any, flipped a switch and the night sky was illuminated by the base tree just as San-ta and Mrs. Claus arrived to hear Christmas wishes and pose for pictures.

Each year, nearly 400 service members in unaccompanied housing remain at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) through the winter holidays. Th ese dedicated men and women are often unable to go home for practical reasons, including work schedules, distance, or prohibitive travel costs.

Leading the charge to bring some joy to these service members are Chief Culinary Specialist Alain David, Unac-companied Housing leading chief petty offi cer, and Culi-nary Specialist 1st Class Jo-anna Davis, Unaccompanied Housing leading petty offi cer.

Th e pair are organizing a large cookie drive, called “Cookie Caper,” and are en-listing the help of the JBAB community to deliver a dozen treats to each of the residents

“staying local.”According to Davis, the

Cookie Caper has been going on for at least fi ve years.

“We get a donation of cook-ies from diff erent entities from the base,” she explained. “Wives will bake and bring cookies. Some people buy and bake cookies.”

David added that he’s eager to get more volunteers to drop off cookies, baked or store bought. He noted they can be donated in disposable contain-ers on Monday, Dec. 14 and Tuesday, Dec. 15 at Bolling Club between 6 a.m. — 5 p.m.

On Wednesday, Dec. 16, volunteers will be needed to sort the cookies, fi lling bags decorated by children from the Youth Center. Another round of volunteers will be needed to hand-deliver the scrumptious holiday treats to the dorms on Th ursday, Dec. 17 from 3:30 — 5:30 p.m.

For more information or to volunteer, please call 202-433-2015 or 2984.

Th e 78-voice, all volunteer JBAB Choir will participate in this year’s Christmas Canta-ta, “Once Upon A Holy Night,” Th e Story of God’s Promise, on Sunday, Dec. 13, at noon, in the JBAB Chapel Center. “Once Upon A Holy Night,” created by Regi Stone and Bradley Knight, refl ects the timeless story of

Christmas that has warmed hearts and drawn people to a saving knowledge of Christ for over 2000 years. It is a challeng-ing, new, conceptual approach to the events leading up to the birth of Christ; a simple refl ec-tion of the meaning of our fa-vorite time of the year. Th e Can-tata is performed by choristers and instrumentalists, repre-senting a variety of diff erent age groups and Christian denom-inations. Choir Director, Mrs.

Gee Soo Hall, successfully leads

choristers and instrumentalists

through a delightful experience

of narration and song, from the

prophetic message of Isaiah to

narrations by Elizabeth, Mary,

Joseph, and the shepherds, pro-

claiming the good news of our

Savior’s birth. Please join us for

this year’s Christmas Cantata

and experience the Christmas

Story like never before.
