By Anne Thrower Gosport Staff Writer The 2009 EscaRosa Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) has exceeded all expecta- tions. And money is still coming in. More than $806,000 had been collected as of Nov. 18, about 8 percent higher than last year. EscaRosa CFC Director Ron Denson hopes to pass 10 percent this year. “That’s huge considering the economic concerns,” Denson said. “We just did not anticipate seeing such an increase.” The drive officially ended Oct. 30. “Even though we have pretty much stopped the workplace campaign, it’s still not too late to make a donation,” Denson said, adding pledge cards will be accepted until Dec. 15. Denson was actually bracing for less this year and a set a con- servative goal of $728,000, less than the $741,000 raised last year. But ultimately the economy didn’t make a difference. “That was the biggest surprise for all of us,” Denson said. Prior campaigns have exceed- ed more than $1 million. But those were at a time when there were more federal employees in the area. The average contribution per donor is up from roughly $120 to $170-plus annually. Denson attributes the cam- paign’s success to the efforts the commands have given to the campaign. “The chairs have real- ly been passionate about the cam- paign this year,” he said. CFC representatives did more guest speaking this year than the past five years combined in an effort to help people understand the program and who is benefit- ing. “We did try and bring more of the touchy feely aspects so people understood it’s not just a handout, it’s a program that is really impacting peoples’ lives,” he said. The CFC is not a non-profit, but a federal program with the purpose of implementing a once- a-year drive for the federal employees. It’s the largest payroll deductible campaign for federal workers in the area. Last year there were 292 CFC campaigns nationwide that raised $275 mil- lion. About 97 percent of the money given to the EscaRosa CFC is designated for local, state and national non-profits that meet fed- eral guidelines qualifying to receive the funding.

stays local, Denson said. One rea-son it isn’t larger is that a large num-ber of the military population in thePensacola area are students who arenot thinking locally, he said.

The agency receiving the largestsingle contribution this year fromthe EscaRosa CFC will be theManna Food Bank in Pensacola.Denson thinks the media emphasison people needing food may havebeen a reason the non-profitreceived more contributions thisyear.

“When people think about help-ing somebody I think they are morewilling to think about a child andfeeding than the other aspects,”Denson said.

This year’s campaign providedgifts to contributors who gave aminimum $240. The lunch bags arestill available as donation incentive.

The campaign also had twodrawings for an I-Pod and for aglobal positioning system (GPS)navigation device. Those were pur-chased with dollars from recycledink.

Brenda Welch, an instructional

systems specialist at Corry’sCenter for InformationDominance, won the GPS. “I wasvery surprised,” Welch said.

Like most people, Welch didn’tgive to CFC because there was adrawing. In fact, she wasn’t evenaware there was a drawing. “I justalways give to CFC,” Welch said.

She got the news on Nov. 13. “Itwas the best Friday the 13th I’veever had in my whole life,” shesaid.

For those still wishing to con-tribute, contact the CFC office at452-2029.

structed for service be honored on his-toric ceremonial occasions: keel-lay-ing, ship naming, stepping the mast,christening, commissioning anddecommissioning. Since the con-struction of the National FlightAcademy facility, designed as a mod-ern aircraft carrier, parallels that of aUnited States ship, retired Vice Adm.Gerry Hoewing, president and CEO

of the National Flight Academy, andretired Vice Adm. Mike Bowman,chairman of the board for the NavalAviation Museum Foundation, hon-ored this tradition by officially nam-ing it “Ambition.”

The name “Ambition” was chosenbecause the NFA program will givestudents the inspiration and “ambi-tion” to study science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) andthe field of aviation.

The National Flight Academy isthe latest major endeavor of thePensacola-based Naval AviationMuseum Foundation Inc. Uponopening, the National FlightAcademy will have an estimated $30million economic impact on the GulfCoast region. The Academy Website, www.nationalflightacademy.com, will include regular updates onthe construction and programprogress.

Marines who use the center thosewho could only afford to go homeonce during the holidays preferredChristmas over Thanksgiving.“Money is tight with everyone,” shesaid.

“Many already felt like the USOwas home,” Blair said. It will be thefirst time many of the active-dutySailors and Marines will be awayfrom home for Thanksgiving.

“It ends up being an emotionalday,” Blair said. “It can be very, verylonely.” Last year many thanked thevolunteers for providing the meal,she said.

As the USO continues to be moreutilized on base, it is reaching outthis Thanksgiving to include a shut-tle service from Corry.

Many people have already beenassigned to cook turkeys, includingBlair who said she’ll be cooking fivethis year instead of doing nine likeshe did last year. Members ofNorthridge Church in Pensacola arecooking 50 turkeys and McGuire’sIrish Pub in Pensacola is donating allthe mashed potatoes. Also, Pen AirFederal Credit Union donated 65turkeys.

But the center is still in need ofother items, especially items that willlast through the weekend. One of thebig items is soda. One soda per per-son per day over the weekend addsup to 300 cases of soda.

The USO also needs paper prod-ucts, garbage bags and even garbagecans. And they are short on ice cheststo keep the ice cold.

After Thanksgiving Day, the USO

will be serving barbecue and snacks.So snacks are needed.

The Thanksgiving meal — opento all active-duty military — will beserved noon to 6 p.m. And the centerwill remain open from noon to 8p.m. on Friday, Saturday andSunday.

Shuttles will leave Corry’s gym at12:30 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5p.m. The last shuttle will return toCorry at 7 p.m.

While there are volunteers for theweekend, Blair said the center isalways in need of permanent volun-teers.

Dear Editor:

Mary Catherine Smith is 13years old and in the eighth gradeat Little Flower Catholic Schoolin Mobile, Ala.

This past year, Mary Catherinewas given an assignment tochoose a poem, read it and thenwrite down her reaction in theform of a letter to the poem’sauthor.

The poem she chose was “TheUnknown Soldier” by J.P. Dunn.

Mary Catherine found herselfextremely moved and touched byJ.P. Dunn’s simple words.

They had a profound effect onher and she shared this in her let-

ter to Mr. Dunn.I had not seen Mary Catherine’s

letter of response until I stumbledacross it while cleaning out herbook bag in preparation for thenew school year.

I was amazed by what I read. Itwas remarkable to read how thewords of one man, the efforts ofmany and the privilege of ourfreedom can affect a 13-year-oldgirl without a care in the world.

It brought tears to my eyes, andmy heart filled with feelings ofboth happiness and sadness.

I am so very proud of the waymy daughter showed respect andgratitude for the men and womenwho have fought, and who are

currently fighting for our countryand what we believe in.

I want to share her words withas many people as possible inhopes to inspire others to recog-nize the efforts of our veterans andour active military and to bringjoy to those who have served usand our wonderful country.

I think it is important to showhow one young child’s wordsfrom the heart can speak for thou-sands.

Please see her letter of responseto Mr. Dunn, as well as his poembelow. Thank you for your time.

Kathy SmithMobile, Ala.

Dear Mr. Dunn:

I have read yourpoem “The UnknownSoldier.” I found it tobe very inspiring in somany ways.

It speaks for themen and women whowore the uniform andserved their country.

The Tomb of theUnknown Soldier is agreat reminder of howgreat our country is.

This poem inspiredme because the Soldiergave his life to protecthis land.

He fought for hiscountry and for hispeople. It made me feelthankful and sad.

I felt thankfulbecause I know thereare many people dyingand fighting for mycountry. Also, I felt sadbecause he cared so

much that he wouldgive his life for his owncountry.

I felt so many differ-ent feelings while read-ing this poem.

Some of those feel-ings were happiness,sorrow, gladness andgratitude.

This poem alsohelped me realize howlucky most of us are tolive in the land of thefree and live life to thefullest.

Also, that we have

many people that lovethis country and thatare willing to sacrificetheir lives for all theother people.

Those people whoserve their countriesjust like the unknownSoldier are greatlyrespected for what theydid for the stars andstripes.

My opinion is thosewho are not scared togo to the battlefield andrisk their lives are thebravest of this country.They have a choicewhether to fight or not,and they choose to doso. They are not afraidto stand up for what isright and sacrifice theirlives.

The unknownSoldier paid a heavyprice while fighting forhis country’s democra-cy.

Although theunknown Soldier liesquietly at his restingplace, the good deedand the bravery heshowed for his fellowcountrymen will liveon and never be forgot-ten.

Many admire peoplelike the unknownSoldier and will alwaysremember what they doto give us freedom!

This poem helps mereflect on my lifebecause I don’t have tolive in fear from day today that my freedomwill be taken away andI won’t be able to livelife as I want.

Also, I know manypeople care for myrights and for otherpeople’s rights.

Sincerely,Mary Catherine Smith

A 13-year-old’s thoughts on an unknown Soldier

The Unknown SoldierBy J.P. Dunn

Although unknown he was not alone,The night he passed away;A mother touched his heart and lipsWhile his guardian angel led his soulaway

To the far off better land.Across the trackless plainsWhen all will meet again thoseWho are absent from home today

He gave his live for DemocracyTo cement the hearts of men,That all alike might shareFull freedom in every land

He fought beneath the stars and stripesFor the country he loved so well;In the Flanders Fields in FranceOur gallant hero fell

As a token of true friendshipWe beautify his graveIn the cemetery at ArlingtonWhere the flowers gently wave;We promise as we kneel beside himBeneath the elms quiet shade,That his flag of yesterday We hold in ecstasy today

New bill should help military spouses with relocation bureaucracy Story, photoby Anne ThrowerGosport Staff Writer

President Barack Obama recently signed theMilitary Spouse Residency Relief Act that is intendedto ease the bureaucracy that military spouses endurewith relocations.

The bill allows military spouses who relocate out ofa state with their service members on military orders tohave the option to claim the same state of domicile astheir active-duty spouses, regardless of where they arestationed.

In the past, each time a military family moved to adifferent state, the spouse was subject to unnecessaryand often expensive changes, proponents of the billsaid.

Relocation and deployment specialists at Naval AirStation Pensacola are waiting to get the details of thebill that was signed on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

“It gives them more options with regard to payingtaxes and getting tags,” said Pam Banks, a relocationand deployment specialist at NASP.

The bill will amend the Service Members CivilRelief Act that, among other things, allows servicemembers to use the same driver’s licenses, votingcards and state tax procedures when they relocate.

Now those same rights will apply to spouses whooften had to shift through mounds of paperwork todetermine different state tax procedures and incur

expensive changes every time they relocated.Residents of Florida, for example, do not have a

state income tax. However, when a couple relocates toa state with state income tax, often there are questionsabout how the tax should be handled. The bill givescouples the option on where they want to declare resi-dency.

Other changes like having to get a new driver’slicense within 30 days of locating in some states wouldalso be an option for spouses.

“I’m still researching the extent of the act,” Banks

said, adding details of the new legislation should bearriving at FFSC shortly. “It will save a lot of hassle.”

Kathy Sims, a relocation and deployment specialistat NASP, said this is another example of how muchhas improved for military families in the past decade.“There are more things available than they have everhad in the U.S. military,” she said.

In addition to helping families relocate, there areservices that help spouses with job leads at their newlocation, including help with resume writing.

Sims said it makes her feel proud when she sees leg-islation that helps military members and their families.

Word of the new legislation pleased Families Unitedfor Our Troops and Their Mission, the nation’s largestmilitary family organization.

“By signing the Military Spouse Residency ReliefAct, the president is easing the cumbersome bureau-cratic hurdles that military spouses are forced to endurewith every relocation,” the organization said.

“Military spouses and their families serve and sacri-fice with their troops every day,” officials withFamilies United said.

“(We) will continue working to ensure that their sac-rifice for this country is made as easy as possible andthat the families that support our men and women inuniform are taken care of while their loved ones servethis nation.”

The organization went on to say “this legislationrepresents a significant step forward for military fami-lies, and Families United applauds President Obamafor signing it into law.

Federal officials pledge support for hiring veterans under Obama directiveBy Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Senior federalofficials recently pledged their support ofPresident Barack Obama’s directive toincrease the hiring of military veterans.

Obama signed the executive order Nov.9 that calls on each federal agency toestablish a veterans’ employment pro-gram office designed to help former serv-ice members get through the maze ofpaperwork as they apply for federal posi-tions. It also mandates that agencies trainpersonnel specialists on veteran employ-ment policies.

The order also directs federal agenciesto work with the departments of Defenseand Veterans Affairs to develop and applytechnologies designed to help disabledveterans.

Also recently Secretary of Labor HildaL. Solis appeared at a U.S. Chamber ofCommerce event where she told civilianemployers they should consider militaryveterans as employees of choice.

Solis said establishing a veterans’ pro-gram office within most federal agenciesis part of a program designed to transformthe federal government into the modelemployer of America’s veterans.

America owes a great debt to its mili-tary veterans, Veterans Affairs DeputySecretary W. Scott Gould said at the pressconference.

“We can reach out to them with some-thing as simple, as pragmatic, as practicalas a job; a good job in government,”Gould said.

And, veterans’ hard-won experience,he said, constitutes “an asset we can now

bring into government.”It is imperative, Gould said, that gov-

ernment agencies assist veterans tobecome aware of government jobs, helpveterans translate their military skills intocivilian parlance, and to help them adjustto their new civilian environment.

Office of Personnel ManagementDirector John Berry told reporters that thepresident directed him “to do right by ourveterans.”

America’s veterans “are valued, theyare experienced, and they are trained,”Berry said. Consequently, he said, itwould be foolish not to provide veteranswith more opportunities to continue toserve in the federal workforce after mili-tary service.

“And so, we want to make sure thatthey know they are welcome and we willhave a job for them,” Berry said. “We willfind one that matches their skills, theirpassions and their interests and their abili-ties.”

After finding the right job, he said, eachveteran will be mentored to help themadapt and transition into the civilian workculture so that they can succeed.

The governmentwide Council onVeterans’ Employment, chaired by Solisand Veterans Affairs Secretary EricShinseki, will play a key role in the veter-ans hiring program, Berry said.

Solis’ and Shinseki’s influence, visionand leadership will make the program asuccess, Berry said. OPM plans to releasea list of the numbers of veterans workingat federal agencies.

“And our goal is to have every one ofthose numbers increase, so that those per-centages go up,” Berry said.

The United States “arguably has thebest-trained, best-equipped and best-ledmilitary force the world has ever seen,”said Gail McGinn, acting undersecretaryof defense for personnel and readiness.

The president’s veterans employmentinitiative “will showcase the leadershipand technical skills our military membershave to offer,” McGinn said, and “willbring back that wonderful talent into ourcivilian workforce.”

The Defense Department already is thelargest federal employer of military veter-ans, McGinn noted. Today, about 342,000defense civilians are veterans, she said,making up about 45 percent of the depart-ment’s civilian workforce.

“I work side by side with veteransevery day,” McGinn said. The skills veter-ans learned in the service, she said, “servethem very, very well working within theDepartment of Defense.”

The department has two Web sites thatprovide employment information for vet-erans, as well as a toll-free phone numberwhere they can talk to career advisors, shesaid.

The department, McGinn said, alsoprovides transition programs for separat-ing military members that feature resumewriting, skills assessments, interview-process training, and jobs-search tech-niques.

“We also provide special help to ourwounded, ill and injured service memberswhose careers have been cut short due tothe injuries received in Iraq orAfghanistan,” she said, through the“Hiring Heroes” career fairs.

Thirty one of these career fairs, shesaid, have been run across the United

States since 2005. The largest of the fairs, conducted in

June at Walter Reed Army MedicalCenter here, attracted more than 570 jobseekers, McGinn said.

The career fairs, she said, provide serv-ice members, many of whom still arerecovering from wounds, the opportunityto visit with potential employers, get on-the-spot interviews, and often, job offers.

“At DoD, we are extremely proud ofour service members and fully aware ofthe value that they bring to the federalgovernment,” McGinn said.

The interagency process launched byObama’s executive order “will clear apathway for more federal jobs for ourservice members,” McGinn said, and“will allow them to look throughout thefederal government to find the right fit andthe best federal job for them.”

The Department of HomelandSecurity’s mission of securing the home-land requires dedicated people “willing todo whatever it really takes to get the jobdone,” said Jeff Neal, DHS’s chief humancapital officer.

Military veterans, Neal said, have “allthe types of qualifications that we arelooking for in DHS, and they have proventime and time again, when their countryhas called on them, they are ready torespond.”

Neal said his agency plans to employ50,000 military veterans by 2012.

“We want to show the veterans ofAmerica that DHS is one of the placeswhere you are welcome, where you arevalued, where you can build a secondcareer and continue your service toAmerica,” he said.

Diabetes directly affects the lives of millions ofAmericans and their families. While no cure exists,medical advancements are continually producingnew, more effective treatments tocontrol the disease. Individualswho manage their diabetes proper-ly can lower their risk of complica-tions and live productive, normallives. During National DiabetesMonth, we recommit to educatingAmericans about the warningsigns of diabetes, and help thosewith the condition to mitigate theeffects of this devastating disease.

The two common forms of dia-betes are known as type 1 and type 2. Type 1 dia-betes occurs when an individual’s immune systemdestroys insulin-producing cells. The outlook forthose with type 1 diabetes has dramaticallyimproved in the past few decades due to a host of

innovations. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalentform of diabetes and usually affects individuals age40 and older, and those who are overweight, inac-

tive, or have a family history of thedisease. Every day, 10 children inthis country are diagnosed with type2 diabetes — a staggering statisticthat reflects the growing epidemic ofobesity in our country.

Preventive care is the simplestway to avoid diabetes and its com-plications. A healthy diet, combinedwith daily exercise, has been shownto dramatically reduce incidence ofthis disease.

African Americans, Latinos and NativeAmericans, as well as the elderly, are at greater riskof developing diabetes during their lifetimes. As anation, we must ensure that all Americans know thewarning signs of this disease, and if diagnosed,

have access to affordable, quality medical care tohelp control it.

While diabetes is a complex and challengingdisease, dedicated researchers continue to makeimportant discoveries. This month, we honor thosewho have made these successes possible, supportthose who are battling diabetes, and rededicateourselves to sustaining Federal investments inresearch and education programs that improve theprevention and treatment of this disease.

Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, president ofthe United States of America, by virtue of theauthority vested in me by the Constitution and thelaws of the United States, do hereby proclaimNovember 2009 as National Diabetes Month. Iencourage citizens, medical institutions,Government and social service agencies, busi-nesses, non-profit organizations, and other inter-ested groups to join in activities that help prevent,treat and manage diabetes.

National DiabetesMonth 2009:a proclamation

by the president ofthe United States of

America

Every 24 hours more than4,000 adults are diagnosed withdiabetes and approximately 200people die from diabetes.Diabetes is a major cause ofheart disease and stroke and aleading cause of leg and footamputations unrelated to injury,kidney failure, and new cases ofblindness in adults. However,people with diabetes can lowertheir risk of complications byfollowing important steps tocontrol the disease:

• Talk to your healthcareprovider about how to manageyour blood glucose (A1C),blood pressure, and cholesterol.

• Get both the seasonal andH1N1 flu vaccines as soon asthey are available. For thosewith diabetes, it is important toask for the “shot” version of bothvaccines. In addition, talk toyour health care provider about apneumonia (pneumococcal)shot. People with diabetes aremore likely to die from pneumo-nia or influenza than people whodo not have diabetes.

• Stay at a healthy weight andengage in moderate physicalactivity for two hours and 30minutes each week or vigorousphysical activity for one hour

and 15 minutes each week. Besure to add muscle strengtheningactivities on two or more dayseach week. Physical activity canhelp you control your weight,blood glucose, and blood pres-sure, as well as raise your“good” cholesterol and loweryour “bad” cholesterol.

Obesity is a major risk factorDuring the past 20 years there

has been a dramatic increase inobesity in the United States, andthis is a major factor — but notthe only factor — in the increas-ing rate of newly diagnosedcases of diabetes. Populationincreases in diabetes have coin-cided with increases in obesity,and the type 2 diabetes epidemicis believed to be largely a resultof the increase in obesity levels.Diagnosed diabetes hasincreased, particularly in over-weight and obese individuals,and improvements in diabetesawareness and enhanced detec-tion are occurring among themost obese.

Ways you can help preventdiabetes

Prediabetes is a condition inwhich individuals have bloodglucose levels higher than nor-mal but not high enough to be

classified as diabetes. In 2007,at least 57 million Americanadults were estimated to haveprediabetes. People with predia-betes have an increased risk ofdeveloping type 2 diabetes,heart disease, and stroke.However, progression to dia-betes among those with predia-betes is not inevitable.

Recent studies have shownthat people at high risk for type2 diabetes can prevent or delay

the onset of the disease by los-ing 5 to 7 percent of their bodyweight. You can do that by eat-ing healthier and getting moder-ate physical activity for 150minutes each week or vigorousphysical activity for 75 minuteseach week.

The development and deliv-ery of lifestyle interventions topeople at risk for diabetes areneeded to stop the rise in newcases of diabetes.

From Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney

failure, blindness and amputations, and

a major cause of heart disease and

stroke. Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes,

and about 6 million of them are unaware of their

disease. With obesity on the rise, millions more are

at risk of developing diabetes.

Diabetics use a blood glucose meter and a lancet (a tool to get a dropof blood) to check their blood glucose. A meter will use the blood to giveyou a number which is known as the blood glucose level. It is usuallychecked before meals, after meals, and sometimes at bedtime. Peoplewho take insulin usually need to check their glucose more often.

The Naval Operational MedicineInstitute (NOMI) Civilian of the Quarter

for the July 2009-September 2009 period isThomas F. Robertson, lead medical instru-ment technician, of the Naval AerospaceMedical Institute (NAMI) hyperbaric med-icine department. He is responsible for

managing operation and maintenance ofthe hyperbaric chamber and serves as leadmaintenance supervisor for theDepartment. He also serves as a lead divingsupervisor during clinical hyperbaric oxy-gen therapy treatments and emergencytreatments for decompression sickness andall other dysbaric illnesses.

Two of many examples of Robertson’skey support of the NOMI mission duringthis past quarter:

• He identified a defective system com-ponent in the hyperbaric chamber, found areplacement component, tested it anddirected its installation; allowing theNAMI hyperbaric chamber to remain 100percent operational and ensured the contin-uation of the system’s NAVFAC certifica-tion.

• He researched and directed the set-upof the planned maintenance system for thenewly acquired “Fly Away RecompressionChamber” to ensure the hyperbaric depart-ment’s operational status during theupcoming chamber and dive system over-haul.

Ongoing hyperbaric chamber function iskey not only to the NAMI hyperbaric med-icine department’s primary mission ofemergency treatments for decompressionsickness and all other dysbaric illnesses, itis critical to NAMI’s ability to support clin-ical hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatmentsand the upcoming cooperative study withthe DVA of hyperbaric oxygen therapy forcombat-related traumatic brain injuries.

USS Constitution is America’s ‘ship of state’By MC1 Eric BrownUSS Constitution Public Affairs

CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD,Mass. (NNS) — USS Constitution recent-ly became America’s Ship of State.

USS Constitution’s primary missionwill remain education and public outreachand any Ship of State functions will be anadjunct to the ship’s primary mission,according the National DefenseAuthorization Act For Fiscal Year 2010 insection 1022.

It is the sense of Congress that the pres-ident, vice president, executive branchofficials and members of Congress shoulduse the USS Constitution for the conduct-ing of pertinent matters of state, such ashosting visiting heads of state, signing leg-islation relating to the armed forces andsigning maritime related treaties.

Constitution’s 71st and current com-manding officer, Cmdr. Timothy Cooper,could not be more excited about this lawsigned by President Barrack Obama, after

the House of Representatives and theSenate passed the bill earlier in October.

“I am really proud and humbled to be apart of this honor,” Cooper said. “USSConstitution has always been the most vis-ible reminder of the beginnings of ourNavy. Now, USS Constitution is a visiblereminder of America, and all that we standfor.”

Constitution was launched into theBoston Harbor on Oct. 21, 1797. In heryears of active service, from 1798-1855,the three-masted wooden frigate fought inthe Quasi-War with France, the BarbaryWars and the War of 1812.

Today Old Ironsides is the oldest com-missioned warship afloat in the world, hasa permanent crew of 73 active-duty U.S.Navy Sailors and is visited by nearly halfa million people every year.

The origins of Old Ironsides status asAmerica’s Ship of State were in July of1997 when then Cmdr. Chris Melhuish,Constitution's 65th commanding officer,had a vision for the future of the ship,

shortly before he took command.“The idea struck me after Cmdr.

Michael Beck (USS Constitution's 64thcommanding officer) challenged me tocreate my vision for the ship, followinghis vision, which was to sail the ship forthe first time in 116 years, forConstitution’s bicentennial,” saidMelhuish.

The status of the ship had inherentlychanged after that historic sail, andConstitution should no longer be thoughtof as a pierside museum exhibit.

“The best description of the ship was‘ship of state,’”Melhuish said. “That wasthe vision, and then began the longprocess of translating that vision into aconcept.”

In October of 2006, he laid out that con-cept on paper, which was endorsed by theCongress of the Naval Order of the UnitedStates, and by Deputy Secretary ofDefense Gordon England.

Then-Massachusetts Sen. EdwardKennedy sponsored the bill in 2008, but it

did not make final passage into theNational Defense Authorization Act forFiscal Year 2009, which would take anoth-er year.

“The people of this country, throughCongress, have done the right thing,which should have been done in 1815,”said Melhuish, referring to a NationalIntelligencer article that appeared in1815.

“Let us keep Old Ironsides at home,”the newspaper author opined, shortly afterConstitution won a string of victoriesagainst her British adversaries in the Warof 1812.

“She has, literally, become a nation’sship, and should be preserved. Not as asheer hulk in ordinary (for she is no ordi-nary vessel); but, in honorable pomp as aglorious monument of her own, and othernaval victories.”

“One hundred and 94 years later, wehave recognized our greatest ship,”Melhuish said. “I'm very, very happyabout that.”

ing.”T h e
