ARLINGTON, Va. – AirForce Col. Francis J. Mc-Gouldrick Jr. was laid to restwith full military honorsDec. 13 during a repatria-tion ceremony at ArlingtonNational Cemetery. Familyand close friends of the for-mer Vietnam War pilot, in-cluding his four daughters,attended services whichbegan with a celebration oflife at the nearby Air ForceMemorial.

McGouldrick went miss-ing exactly 45 years to theday after the pilot’s B-57ECanberra bomber collidedwith another aircraft duringa night mission over Laos.A military review boardwould later amend his of-ficial status from missing inaction to presumed killedin action in 1978, accord-ing to the Department of

Defense (DoD) Prisoner ofWar (POW) Missing Person-nel Office.

DoD records indicatethat several attempts weremade at trying to locatethe crash site between 1993and 2004. Though, those at-tempts were proven unsuc-cessful. A joint U.S./Laosteam finally located thepossible crash site in April2007. It would be anotherfour years before teammembers would recoverhuman remains and air-craft wreckage consistentwith that of a B-57E bomb-er. Through DNA testing,the remains were identifiedas that of McGouldrick.

NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING

COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- NavalFacilities Engineering Command(NAVFAC) announced the win-ners of its 2014 Military and Civil-ian Engineers of the Year AwardsDec. 9.

Lt. Cmdr. J. Doug Herrin fromNAVFAC Southeast was selectedas the Military Engineer of theYear and Joseph M. Woliver fromNAVFAC Atlantic was selected asthe Civilian Engineer of the Yearfor 2014.

“We’ve selected our NAVFACengineers of the year from a groupof exceptional candidates,” saidNAVFAC Commander, Rear Adm.Kate Gregory. “We are very fortu-nate to serve with a vast numberof extraordinary engineers wholead NAVFAC and the Navy withdedication, service, selflessnessand technical superiority. They

continue to build to our 171 yearlegacy of serving the Navy withthe ‘Can Do’ spirit.”

Herrin and Woliver will repre-sent NAVFAC in February duringEngineers Week at the NationalPress Club in Washington, D.C.,where the National Society ofProfessional Engineers (NSPE)will announce their 2014 FederalEngineer of the Year.

In his role as the NAVFACSoutheast Contingency Engi-neering and Disaster Prepared-ness Officer, Herrin oversaw $32million worth of planning, designand construction of 62 projects at22 remote locations as part of theHaiti earthquake recovery effort.

He coordinated and deployedthe Contingency Engineering Re-sponse Team (CERT) to the navalcomplex in NewOrleans after beingdamaged by Hurricane Isaac. Un-der his direction, the team surveyeddamaged facilities and developedstabilization and repair packages.

“It is an honor to be recognizedfor my efforts and accomplish-ments,” said Herrin. “This recog-nition extends to the exceptionaldedicated professionals that Ihave the privilege of workingalongside. The accomplishmentsare the result of many talentedindividuals coming together as ateam to support the Navy missionand enable the warfighters.”

Herrin also lead NAVFACSoutheast’s energy program, su-pervising the execution of 80 en-ergy projects worth $95 million,and programmed an additional90 projects valued at $230 mil-lion. These projects implementedan array of energy conservationtechnologies such as photovolta-ic, solar heating, geothermal, bio-mass, wind turbine, LED lighting,and retrofitting buildings withhigh-efficiency mechanical sys-tems, which are expected to savemore than $15 million annuallyacross the Southeast Region.

Woliver, from NAVFAC At-lantic, performed as the seniorgeotechnical engineer and theNAVFAC subject matter expertfor airfield pavements as he ex-ecuted designs, oversaw con-struction, and provided consul-tation efforts across the Navyand Marine Corps. He planned,programmed, budgeted and exe-cuted inspections for Command-er Navy Installations Command,United States Marine Corps,North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-tion and National Aeronauticsand Space Administration assetstotaling more than $2 billion.

Using his vast knowledge, Wo-liver designed emergency repairsfor Naval Air Station Souda Bay’sfailed taxiway pavement anddamaged arresting gear duringOperations Odyssey Dawn andUnified Protector (Libya).

He developed a unique con-crete mix design solution incor-porating on-site materials, which

allowed Navy Seabees and AirForce Red Horse teams to con-struct the 50-meter Walela Cul-vert Bridge as part of a humani-tarian effort in northern Uganda.The bridge improved the lives of60,000 villagers by eliminatinga half-day walk to work, hospi-tal and schools, and provides ayear-round link to markets at theeconomic center.

Woliver also designed theNavy’s first Joint Strike Fighter-capable, simulated carrier deckat Naval Auxiliary Landing FieldFentress, which allowed the fleetto train and practice using futureaircraft platforms.

“I am honored by this rec-ognition, but it would not havehappened without my team’ssupport,” said Woliver. “We alldeserve this award. It was a teameffort and I want to thank themall for their contributions, en-abling me to receive this recog-nition.”

ARLINGTON, Va. - Volunteersplaced more than 143,000 wreathson gravesites at Arlington Na-tional Cemetery Dec. 14 as part ofthe 22nd annual “Wreaths AcrossAmerica” event.

The wreaths were manufac-tured by the Worcester Wreath Co.of Harrington, Maine, and came tothe cemetery by truck over theweekin advance of the event. Donors andthe Worcester Wreath Co. paid forthe wreaths.

Morri l l Worcester, thecompany?s owner, said interest inthe project has grown steadily, andthat he feels now his participationhas grown to something more.

“About five years ago, things re-ally started to take off,” he said. “Ireally think that it became our re-sponsibility at that point to do whatwe do. Today I really think it’s ourobligation to be here.”

Morrill’s wife, Karen, remindedevent participants of the people andlives being commemorated duringthe event.

“These are not gravestones;these are lives,” she said. “Theserepresent lives that were lost andlaid down so we can be free.”

Out of the backs of several trac-tor-trailer trucks, volunteers passedthe wreaths -- Maine balsam with ahand-tied red bow -- to the thou-sands of civilians, servicemembers,adults and childrenwhowould takethemout to a single stone and placethem there in advance of the holi-day season.

“I said, ?Let’s come down earlyand actually volunteer and putsome wreaths on,?” said Bob Tay-lor of Redline, Pa. Taylor and 10members of his family drove morethan two hours to participate in theevent.

“What really impressed me washowmany served inmultiple wars,”he said after reading inscriptions on

some of the headstones. “You seeindividuals that served in three andfour wars. It’s really incredible, thededication and commitment thatthey showed for our country. It’s aprofound sense of gratitude, to seehow fortunate we are to live the lifethat we live, in part because of whatthese people have sacrificed.”

Marine Corps Maj. Daniel Smithworks at the Pentagon and lives inthe Washington, D.C., area. He saidhe knew somewho are buried in thecemetery --men he had servedwithin two theaters of war over the last10 years.

“Several folks we’ve served withare here, in different areas,” he said.“We have been in conflict now for10-plus years. You’re going to losepeople. It’s an amazing feeling toknow that so many people not onlycontributed monetarily, but arehere.”

Smith’s daughter, Kara Anne,said she was glad to have come tothe event with her father.

“These people have died in some

of the most important wars,” shesaid. “They did good -- so we honorthem.”

Vietnam and Army veteran Ger-

ald Reed, of nearby Columbia, Md.,attended the event for the first timethis year with his wife, Kathy. Reedwas drafted at 25, and served inPhu Bai, Vietnam, in 1971 as a ra-dar technician. He’d been a radartechnician as a civilianwhen hewasdrafted.

“I really lucked out,” Reed said.“Normally, when you are draftedthey put you in the infantry. Theyhad a need for radar repairmen, andthat’s what I did. They didn’t evenhave to train me.”

While Reed said he doesn’t knowanyone buried in the cemetery, hedid say a high school classmate ofhis was the first from his county tobe killed in the Vietnam War. AndReed’s older brother was killed inWorld War II in Normandy. He saidhe never met his brother.

“Myoldest brother, Clifford,whodied in World War II, died before Iwas born,” he said. “Mymother waspregnant with me when they gotword that my brother was killed.”

Reed said he has six brothersand four sisters. While one of hisbrothers died at an early age -- just3 years old -- he and the rest of hisbrothers all served in the military.All but one served in the Army. Hisfour brothers-in-law also served, hesaid.

“I think it’s absolutely inspira-tional,” said his wife, Kathy, of theevent.. “I love the fact that maybethere is a little pendulum that isswinging back a little more towardrespect, appreciation, remem-brance, recollection and givinghonor -- that kind of thing. This isan amazing way to do that. There isa lot of distraction in theworld. Thisis a very humbling experience.”

She also reflected on the wordsof KarenWorcester about how eachstone represents a life lost.

“Every one of them had a hope,a dream, a family, someone whomourns their loss,” she said. “Thisis a small gesture of gratitude.”

Washington (AFNS) --Army, Navy, Marine Corps,Air Force and Coast Guard,as well as reservists and Na-tional Guard members areeligible for expedited Trans-portation Security Admin-istration, or TSA, screeningbeginning Dec. 20.

As part of the ongoingeffort to move away from aone size fits all security ap-proach and provide moreof the traveling public theability to participate in ex-pedited screening, the TSAand the Department of De-fense partnered to expandTSA Precheck expeditedscreening benefits to allservice members.

Currently, members ofthe armed forces can utilizeTSA Precheck lanes at 10domestic airports by pre-senting their Common Ac-cess Card. The partnershipexpands the program to themilitary at all 100 airports

offering TSA Precheck, al-lowing service membersto keep their footwear onas well as light outerwear,belts, keep their laptopin its case and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gelsbag in a carry on in selectscreening lanes.

“Expanding TSA Pre-check screening benefitsis great news for our ser-vice members and is a tan-gible sign of this nation’sgratitude for the men andwomen who serve this na-tion bravely each and everyday,” said Mary Snavely-Dixon, the director of theDefense Manpower DataCenter. “We will continueto work with the Transpor-tation Security Adminis-tration to help expand thisprogram further.”

The new process be-ing established under thisagreement allows all ac-tive duty, Coast Guard, Re-serve and National Guardservice members to usetheir DOD identificationnumber when making res-

ervations. That ID numberwill be used as their knowntraveler number. When ar-riving at the airport, servicemembers will then be per-mitted access to TSA Pre-check lanes for official orleisure travel on participat-ing airlines.

“TSA joins with theAmerican people in show-ing its appreciation for theservice and sacrifices ofour men and women in thearmed forces,” said the TSADeputy Administrator JohnW. Halinski, a 25-year Ma-rine Corps veteran. “Pro-viding expedited screeningwhile on travel is the leastwe can do for these coura-geous men and women.”

More than 18 millionpassengers have experi-enced TSA Precheck since itlaunched in October 2011.TSA has recently expandedthis expedited screeningprogram to 60 new airportsin addition to the existing40, bringing the total num-ber of airports with TSAPrecheck to 100.

TSA has long recognizedour men and women in uni-form as nearly a quarter ofTSA’s workforce is a veteranor currently serves as an ac-tive duty service member inthe armed forces.

In addition to expand-ing TSA Precheck to servicemembers, TSA offers theAmerican public about theWounded Warrior Screen-ing program. According toTSA officials, this programmakes the overall experi-ence for wounded service

members as simple as pos-sible. This includes per-sonalized service and ex-pedited screening to movethrough security check-points without having to re-move footwear, light outer-wear, jackets or head wear.Wounded warriors or theircare coordinators can con-tact TSA Cares toll free at855-787-2227 with detailsof the itinerary once flightarrangements are madewith the airline.

TSA will always incor-

porate random and unpre-dictable security measuresthroughout the airport, TSAofficials said. No individualwill be guaranteed expe-dited screening. Travelerscan check the TSA PrecheckParticipating Airports pagefor information on loca-tions and hours of activeTSA Precheck lanes.

BY AMAANI LYLEAMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - Discussing upcom-ing budgetary variables during a Pentagonnews conference recently, the Air Force’stop civilian leader for the past six monthsaddressed the inevitability of a smallerforce.

Acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning,who is returning next week to his positionas undersecretary of the Air Force follow-ing today’s Senate confirmation of Debo-rah Lee James to assume the service’s topcivilian position, recounted traveling tomore than 40 bases to meet with thousandsof airmen during his six-month tenure.

“[Airmen] see better than any of us theimpact that readiness is having, becausethey’re not training, they’re not flying,they’re not able to maintain some things,”Fanning said. “They worry about whattheir future is going to be in the Air Force.”

Feedback from individual and groupmeetings with airmen, Fanning said,showed that uniformed and civilian AirForce members believe that budget issuesare keeping them from being able to con-tribute to the mission the way they want to.

“Even during the furlough,” he said,“some civilians certainly complainedabout the impact it had on their pocket-book, but far more than that, civilians aretelling me, ‘I can’t do what I need to do andwant to do for the Air Force in 32 hours aweek.’”

But, Fanning said, the national debtburden is a long-term national security is-sue, and Air Force officials are committedto being a part of the solution as the de-fense budget takes shape.

“I believe the American people have aright as we come out of two long wars tofeel they can spend less, invest less in na-tional security forces,” he said.

He cited examples of spending reduc-tions following historical conflicts such asWorld War II, Korea, Vietnam and the ColdWar.

“We’ve usually not started [reducing

spending] until the conflict is over, … andwe’re still at war, … and we’ve always hadsome type of ramp to ease into those cuts,”he said.

However, he explained, sequestrationspending cuts don’t allow for such flex-ibility.

“It’s not just the dollar cuts. … It’s themechanics of sequestration, the immedia-cy of those cuts,” Fanning said. “It’s forc-ing us to make choices that we wouldn’tmake otherwise and it’s forcing us to drawdown in a more destructive way than nec-essary.”

Disproportionate pressure also remainson investment and readiness, because re-sizing the force takes time even when it’spossible, Fanning said. And congressionalreticence to consider another round ofbase realignments and closures has provencostly and time-consuming in reducing thepersonnel force, creating an increasingly

oversized infrastructure, he added.With only operations and maintenance

and investment accounts remaining forquick assessment, a profound impact toreadiness could ensue.

“The Air Force was already in a 20-yearreadiness decline, something we were juststarting to address when sequestrationhit,” said Fanning, adding that the ser-vice’s size and structure doesn’t lend itself

to a tiered readiness model.“When the flag goes up,” he said, “the

Air Force is expected to get to the crisisrapidly -– speed is a key advantage of AirForce power.”

The number of Air Force squadronsequals the combatant commanders’ re-quirements, he said, but with little or notime to bring forces up to full readiness.

“If it takes months to generate combatair power, the president loses deterrence,diplomatic influence and contingency op-tions on which the nation has come to de-pend,” he said.

Fanning characterized budget compro-mises currently in debate on Capitol Hillas encouraging though lower than serviceofficials would like. The additional fundsover the next two years will help coverreadiness shortfalls, stability and plan-ning, he said.

“Even with this relief, we will need toresize the Air Force to one that is smallerthan it is today in order to protect invest-ments we need for the future and to shapean Air Force that we can keep ready [and]we can’t do these cuts individually, ad hoc,in isolation,” Fanning said. “If something’srestored to the budget we present to theHill, something else will need to go.”

Still, Fanning pledged a continued com-mitment to helping airmen get past the“distractions” of budget and political un-certainty.

“We will make the decisions that wecan, as quickly as we can, as transparentlyas we can … to get the Air Force back tothat ‘new normal,’” he said.

ington, said to McGouldrick’sdaughters and family membersduring the graveside service. “Buthe has also shown each of you,whose lives he touched eitherdirectly or indirectly, your ownpossibilities. He has shown youhow to find your strength.”With McGouldrick finally be-

ing laid to rest, his family nowhas the closure it deserves – al-beit bittersweet. His wife, Jacque-line, died of cancer in 1980. Twoof McGouldrick’s siblings havealso died since he went missing.Though, on this warm day

in early December and with alight snow blanketing the hal-lowed grounds of Arlington Na-tional Cemetery, his childrenand grandchildren got an earlyChristmas gift. They were able tosee him return home and receivethe burial he was due – next to hiswife and among a sea of Ameri-can heroes.

Full military honors includeda caisson, casket team, colorsunit, firing party, and bugler fromthe U.S. Air Force Honor Guardat Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB). Members of the U.S. AirForce Band also performed dur-ing the tribute.McGouldrick’s ceremony was

the first of its kind at the Air ForceMemorial. Unveiled in 2006, thememorial is a lasting memorial toall service personnel of the U.S.Air Force, as well as its predeces-sors.Despite an emotional roll-

ercoaster for the past year, Mc-Gouldrick’s daughter, Michele(Mitch) Guess, said the family iselated to finally have this time togrieve.“We know now that they’re to-

gether in heaven. We just didn’trealize how long they’d been to-gether.”To date, there remains more

than 1,600 American servicemembers still unaccounted forfrom the Vietnam War, accordingto the DoD.
