We thank member CDR Kurt Birkhahn for answering the call to represent the US Merchant Marine at the wreath laying ceremony at the Presidio.
 
We also thank the Arkansas Division Sea Cadets for their assistance distributing the wreaths and otherwise assisting.
 
May I encourage all of you to attend the ceremony at a National Cemetery near you? You can find the details on each by visiting http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org. Photos and a report appreciated.
 
It is not too late to individually donate funds for a wreath as well. The council donated wreaths this year to the Presidio Cemetery.

Thank you for responding to the short notice request for a representative of the U.S. Merchant Marine to participate in the Wreaths Across America Ceremony at the San Francisco National Cemetery on Saturday, 15 December 2012, rain or shine. Your support to honor the veterans is appreciated and I am looking forward to meeting you. Please forward a copy of your biography to me at your earliest convenience.
 
To avoid congestion on the cemetery roads, we plan to direct as much traffic as possible to the parking lot for the chapel located adjacent to the cemetery. Since you are part of the official party, drive through the cemetery gate and ask one of the personnel directing traffic where to park. I recommend arriving at the cemetery by 0800, then ask for me, Tim Albert or Edgar Deleon for further instructions. In the pavilion to the right of the memorial, refreshments will be available at no charge.
 
There will be representatives for the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, the Merchant Marine and the POWs/MIAs. The seven service representatives will be introduced and place the ceremonial wreath for their service branch at a designated point during the ceremony.
 
Following is an overview of the ceremony plan. This year, the Band of the Golden West from Travis AFB is joining the WAA ceremony for the first time. At 0830, The band will begin playing for approximately 30 minutes. At 0900, the actual ceremony will start, There will be a short parade on the concrete walkway to the monument where the podium is located and the service representatives will take their seats to the right of the podium until called upon to place their ceremonial wreath. The parade will be led by a SFPD bagpiper, followed by the Civil Air Patrol Color Guard and the Navy Sea Cadet Color Guard, and then the service representatives.
 
After welcoming remarks by the master of ceremonies and the invocation by the chaplain, the keynote speaker will be introduced. Following the keynote speaker, the service representatives will be introduced and they will place the ceremonial wreath for their service. Afterwards the public will lay wreaths at the graves.
 
FYI, following are several links to videos of the ceremony held last year.
This first video shows Chuck Kohler who is a Pearl Harbor Survivor and was the keynote speaker. The Warriors Watch provided a motorcycle escort for him and his family from Concord where he resides to the cemetery and for his return to Concord.
 
This second video was taken from the Huey flyover during the ceremony. The Huey will return this year; the flyover is scheduled at 0930 and it will make several passes.
 
This third video shows the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery held in a prior year. It is a powerful video and it was broadcast by one of the national television networks.
 
Additional information is available at wreathsacrossamerica.org and more WAA videos are available at YouTube.com
 
Thank you for joining us to remember and honor the departed veterans.

Hello Phelps,
 
The "Wreaths Across America" needs a person from the Merchant Marines to be apart of the wreath laying on Saturday December 15 - Presideo at the 0900 service. Suggested you or perhaps you have someone you can suggest to have this honor?
 
They would place the wreath in honor of the Merchant Marines  - would be great if they were in uniform however not necessary for the Merchant Marines - all other service organizations are being represented.

They can contact me directly for additional information.

Cheers- INST Freitas

Would need an answer so that their name can appear in the program.

NAVY IS FIRST TEAM TO CLAIM POSTSEASON BERTH; WILL PLAY IN KRAFT FIGHT HUNGER BOWL

SAN FRANCISCO - The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl is the first of 35 bowl games to identify one of its participants.

2012 BOWL FACTS

Date: December 29, 2012
Time: 1:00 p.m. (PST)
Location: San Francisco, CA
Stadium: AT&T Park
Capacity: 40,184
Network(s): ESPN2 (Television)
Title Sponsor: Kraft Foods
Matchup:

Pac-12, Arizona State Sun Devils, vs Navy

SAN FRANCISCO - The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl is the first of 35 bowl games to identify one of its participants.

Buoyed by its victory this afternoon over Florida Atlantic, Navy becomes the first of 70 teams to secure a postseason bowl berth.

Moments after Navy's win at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Executive Director Gary Cavalli and Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced that the Midshipmen had accepted an invitation to play in San Francisco on December 29.

"We're thrilled to be able to bring Navy back to San Francisco," Cavalli said. "Navy's first appearance in 2004 (Navy 34 - New Mexico 19) really put our Bowl on the map. They bring a huge fan base, a ton of pageantry, and one of hottest football teams in America. We look forward to providing a great bowl experience for the Navy players and fans, and hosting a great match-up with the Pac-12."

The Midshipmen, now 6-3 and having won five consecutive games, will meet a Pac-12 team in the 3rd Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and the 12th San Francisco bowl game overall. The game, to be played at AT&T Park, home of the 2012 World Series champion San Francisco Giants, is set for Saturday, December 29, 2012 with a 1:00 p.m. [PST] kickoff. ESPN2 will televise the game nationwide.

Tickets in all price ranges [$85-$25] are now available either online via the Bowl website, [kraftbowl.org] or by calling 800.225.2277. Four of the previous six games have been sellout attractions.

This will be Navy's second visit to San Francisco. The Mids played in the 2004 Emerald Bowl, defeating New Mexico 31-19. That contest was notable for a 26-play, 94-yard Navy scoring drive that lasted 14 minutes, 26 seconds. The 26 plays and elapsed time are NCAA records. Navy finished that season 10-2, its first 10-win season since 1905.

"Based on our visit in 2004, we have seen first hand that the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl is a magnificent overall environment and event," said Gladchuk. "The City of San Francisco, the stadium, the hospitality from the community, the bowl administration and the beauty of Northern California present as fine a postseason experience as we could possibly enjoy.

"The Academy is sincerely grateful to Gary Cavalli and his staff for inviting us back and setting the stage for our team to earn an enjoyable trip to the West Coast and an inspiring matchup versus an opponent from the Pac-12."

Navy's opponent will not be known until early December, when the Pac-12 regular season culminates with the Pac-12 Championship Game. That will be played on the home field of either the North or South Division winner, depending on which team is seeded highest.

The Midshipmen opened the 2012 season with two formidable road opponents, Notre Dame [in Dublin, Ireland] and Penn State. Their season to date, with three foes still to be played, ratcheted upward with an impressive road win at Air Force last month.

One of college football's greatest spectacles, the annual Army-Navy game, is December 8 in Philadelphia on CBS. The Midshipmen have an opportunity to reclaim the Commander-in-Chief's trophy with a win over Army. Navy has beaten Army in each of the past 10 meetings from 2002 to the present.

"I am very happy for our young men and our program that we are going back to a bowl game for the ninth time in the last 10 years," said Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo. "This group has shown an amazing amount of resiliency in starting 1-3 and it never stopped fighting or believing. Our only focus right now is on our final three regular-season games, but we are thrilled to be going back to San Francisco."

Navy returns to postseason play after a 1-year hiatus. Prior to 2011, the Midshipmen played in eight consecutive bowl games from 2003-10

Since its inception in 2002, the annual college football bowl game in San Francisco has generated more than $130 million in revenue for the City and County.

The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl was first played following the 2010 season. Nevada defeated Boston College 20-13. Last year's contest featured a Big Ten/Pac-12 matchup as Illinois turned back UCLA 20-14.

"Everyone at Kraft Foods is thrilled to have Navy, a football team rich in history, playing in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl," said Stephen Chriss, Senior Director, Corporate Scale and Marketing Partnerships. "With more than 50 million Americans living in food insecure households, Navy's national following will allow our iconic brands to help shine a broad spotlight on the issue of hunger."

Key to Navy's resurgence this season has been the play of freshman QB Keenan Reynolds. Reynolds has directed his team to victories over Air Force, Central Michigan, Indiana and East Carolina prior to this afternoon's triumph.

About San Francisco Bowl Association The not-for profit association has been the driving force behind the Bowl game since its inception in 2002. In that time, the game, played at San Francisco's AT&T Park, has generated over $130 million in economic benefit for the City and County of San Francisco. Several of college football's most storied programs have already participated in the contest, formerly known as the Emerald Bowl.

RADM Castillo with Cadets ABC Fretias and RC Hernandez accepted the award on the behalf of ABC Stacy Nunez. Council President Phelps Hobart also in the photo. That's the admiral's challenge coin the cadets display. The certificate, along with the NLUS ribbon with "Gold Boot" was presented to ABC Nunez.
 
 
Pacific Merchant Marine Council Vice President - Youth Activities Karen Freitas saying a few words about PO2 Stephan Sobolev just prior to him receiving the Navy League's Theodore Roosevelt Youth Award with medal and ribbon presented by the Pacific Merchant Marine Council, sponsor and supporter of the Arkansas Division Sea Cadets. Karen is an Instructor with the Division.
 

That's PO2 Soboley's dad Alexey with the camera. He serves as a council Director on the Youth Activities Committee. RADM Castillo had just pinned on the Theodore Roosevelt Youth Award Ribbon.

PO1 Freitas, PO2 Sobolev, PO2 Freitas, SA(T) Freitas, ABC Freitas, RC Hernandez, SR Cullen, SR Kosta INST Bui and INST Soblev:
 
Although he wanted to attend the meeting personally, because he was out of town, Captain Cogan asked that I attend today to support you all and our unit.  After attending the meeting, I wanted to relay that you guys looked awesome, and say thank you to each of you for attending the PMMC Navy League meeting today.  I know it was a lot to ask of both you and your parents to have to take time off of school (and work) for it, but doing so made our unit (and the USNSCC) look very good to a lot of high profile people.  It really meant a lot to the Navy League, and it means a lot to me.
 
To all of our Shipmates, Parents, and Supporters:
 
As a recap to everyone, before the meeting commenced, the unit decorated the tables with table cloths and nutcrackers, and then under the direction of PO2 Sobolev, SR Cullen, SR Kosta, and PO2 Freitas provided the opening color guard, PO2 Freitas directed the pledge of allegiance,  INST Bui provided coverage for the Navy League table, INST Freitas sang and played violin, and INST Sobolev and PO1 Freitas provided direction and behind the scenes management. 
 
During the luncheon, the Cadets made the association of some very high profile people, including the guest of honor, the USCG's Deputy Commander, Pacific Area, Rear Admiral Joseph "Pepe" Castillo, and the California Maritime Academy's new President, Rear Admiral Thomas Cropper, USN (Ret).  It was quite an honor to see our Cadets doing a great job interacting with both Admirals.
 
Even more positive, two of our own Cadets were honored at the meeting.  PO2 Stephen Sobolev and ABC Nunez were both the recipients of the Theodore Roosevelt award.  The Theodore Roosevelt Youth Medal is awarded to outstanding JROTC cadets and Naval Sea Cadets.
 
PO2 Stephen Sobolev was selected because of his devoted and strong leadership with Arkansas Division over the course of the last year.  He has done a great job filling in where needed, especially as acting ALPO.  PO2 Sobolev has  provided mentorship to junior Cadets and has continually progressed in his coursework. Great job PO2 - keep up the great work in continue to be a great example for all of us.  Also of note, PO2 Sobolev has been formally promoted as the unit's ALPO. 
 
ABC Nunez was selected because as a League Cadet, she has developed tremendously over the last year.  ABC Nunez has consistently been promoting greater confidence and initiative in her duties.  I am very proud of her achievement and look forward to her continued development in the future.
 
The Roosevelt Medal was presented by Admiral Castillo.  PO2 Sobolev accepted the award on behalf of himself, and ABC Fretias and RC Hernandez accepted the award on the behalf of ABC Nunez.
 
In summary - great job today everyone!  This was a really impressive showing.  Thank you very much for making it happen.  Also, the next time you see them, please take a moment to congratulate PO2 Sobolev and ABC Nunez on a job well done. 
 
Respectfully,

WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!
 
 For your information, when you're talking about Sea Cadets, there some very important statistics you may wish to remember.
 
1. 12 to 13% of the Midshipmen at the Naval Academy are former Sea Cadets. This has been the case for many years. AND -- This is more than all other Youth Groups combined.
2. Making Chief in the Sea Cadets is equivalent to making Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts.
3. Every Sea Cadet that goes on Active Duty as an E-3 saves the Navy $10,000.00 That's their figures.

Roger Bazeley, President Elect 2013
 
Ahoy Members and Friends,
 
Roger Bazeley, President Elect 2013, shared some personal thoughts about the Navy League and the council upon being elected at our brief business meeting, our "Annual Meeting" December 11, aboard the National Liberty Ship SS JEREMIAH O'BRIEN. He stayed afterward to share ideas with other elected officers and directors.
 
The meeting followed the luncheon we held aboard with attendees from the San Francisco Council, Sacramento Council, National Maritime Academy Alumni, Northern California Propeller Club, California Maritime Academy (including President RADM Thomas Cropper, USMS) and elsewhere. Everyone seemed to enjoy their time together. We knew it would be well attended and for the first time we started the social hour / networking opportunity an hour before the lunch. The Kings Pointers arranged for the splendid caterer and kept the bar stocked with beer, wine, sodas, and water. We enjoyed working with them and look forward to our next activity together.
 
Roger's first task, an enjoyable one, is attending the Bay Planning Coalition Annual Membership Meeting and Luncheon at the St. Francis Yacht Club December 13, http://bayplanningcoalition.org/category/annual-meeting. The council has been a member of and is engaged in the BPC, http://bayplanningcoalition.org. In fact the Founder and former Executive Director Ellen Joslin Johnck is a council director (environmental affairs) and the current Executive Director John Coleman is a director as well (Bay Planning Coalition).
 
We welcome comments about the luncheon, the meeting, the Navy League and our Pacific Merchant Marine Council. To see where we are currently, our relationships, and activities, see the attached single page PMMC About Us 2012. Our guide for operations is the Navy League Operations Manual, http://navyleague.org/councils/operations_manual.html.
 
Within the council I am moving laterally to a newly established position, Executive Director. The job description has yet to be written but essentially I will be assisting where needed -coordination, communications, and assorted other tasks not under the purview of other officers and directors. One task ahead is to prepare the 2012 Council Annual Report to submit to Navy League Headquarters, the Pacific Central Region President, and the San Francisco Area President.
 
I know I can speak for our officer and director team and say we are going to continue to move the council forward. We encourage and welcome your participation. Share your concerns with Roger and me anytime.
 
Heavy Ho,

This fund raiser might be of interest to many, so if you can pass it along to others that may be interested I'll appreciate that very much.   Thanks,
Don

From: Tom Spink

Now here is the perfect Christmas gift for any former Moffett sailor.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holidays.

Come see us at “your†museum soon.

Tom

Shipmates,

As most of you are aware, Moffett Field's Hangar One has been de-skinned and all that is left is the steel skeleton.
Most folks were not aware that the top of the Hangar was covered in 2x6 tongue & groove redwood planks from the local forests, and then topped with corrugated metal. 

The Moffett Museum is the recipient of a small amount of these planks.  These have been split in half (now approximately  1x6) and cut into 11" to 12" sections.  We are offering two versions of these pieces of history for a donation to the Moffett Field Historical Society.  They are engraved with the logo of the USS Macon entering the Hangar.  A personalized version has room for three lines of 20 characters.  The generic version is available for a $100.00 donation.  The personalized version is available for a $125.00 donation.  These donations are tax-deductible.   Please see the enclosed file for ordering your piece of history, and a legacy to probably the best place a USN Sailor could have been stationed.

You can become a real Plank Owner of Hangar One by ordering your plank at the museum or by mailing your order to:
MFHS, PO Box 16, Moffett Field, CA 94034-0016.  Call (650) 964-4024 for further information.

Please provide widest dissemination....

Thanks,

Herb Parsons

    Did you know...
     
    Nov 18, 2011 ... For the first time ever, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is partnering with a daily deal site to make it easy for people to give. Starting today LivingSocial Families members in the U.S. can donate $5 to Toys for Tots, the 64-year-old nonprofit dedicated to brightening the holiday season for kids in need. For every LivingSocial member who gives, Toys"R"Us, Hasbro and other corporate partners will match the donation with $5 worth of toys, up to $1 million worth. ... http://corporate.livingsocial.com/inthenews/articles/32
     
    Also for every new person who ‘Likes’ Kohl’s Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/kohls, from November 23 through December 24, Kohl’s will donate $1 to Toys for Tots, up to $500,000.
     
    Thank you to council members and friends who have already contributed or will contribute to:
     
     
    As in years past, the council has contributed to Toys for Tots.
     
    The message below was received late yesterday. Seems the need is still great and donations are down so far this year. In addition to the above offers Major Grein mentions some other partnerships that stretch every dollar given.
     
    All contributions no matter what the size are greatly appreciated.

    Dear Toys for Tots Friend,

     

    Marine and Children holding handsEvery child, grandchild, niece or nephew in your family is no doubt telling you daily just how many days there are till Christmas.  Children whose families are living in poverty are also keeping track of the days, but sadly their parents don’t have the same means to put presents under their Christmas tree … if they even have a tree.  

    The good news is there is still time left for you to make the difference on Christmas morning for one or more of these children.  By making a donation on our website (www.toysfortots.org) we can instantly make those dollars available to our Marine Toys for Tots Coordinators, who can immediately turn them into last minute toys. 

    After a long bitter presidential campaign, Hurricane Sandy and a ‘Fiscal Cliff’ we’re apparently going to fall into soon, I can see why our toy donations are down this year.  I am making just this one last plea to put that all behind you, get into the Christmas spirit and help us provide a present to a child you don’t even know.  You’ll be glad you did.

    Here’s a few other last minute ways to help:

    DonationTunes.org, a non-profit organization, is proud to announce that they have made the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation their exclusive charity partner for the holidays. When you buy a song or album at donationtunes.org, 100% of the net proceeds will go to Toy for Tots. Please help donationtunes.org help Toys for Tots!! Every song or album purchased makes a huge difference! Please visit www.donationtunes.org.  You can play your favorite online games on Zynga and make a donation to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation at the same time.

    You can purchase an Ellen DeGeneres Hole-Y-Cow toy at your local Walgreens Store and they will donate $2.00 for each toy sold.  I have one sitting on my desk and play with it everyday.

    Finally, please accept my apology for perhaps bothering you too much with these email letters, but more importantly, please accept my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.  The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, the U.S. Marine Corps and many less fortunate children thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness.

    Sincerely,

    Bill Grein

    Ahoy Members and Friends,
     
    Several council members are also members of the National Defense Transportation Association (NDTA), the majority as members of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter.
     
    Council member and our man on the inside is Charlie Madison. He has held virtually every position within NDTA. He has sent us the attached Crab Feed flyer. Always a well attended and popular event; early paid reservations are suggested. Besides there is a drawing tickets bonus it you send in your paid reservation before the new year.
     
    We appreciate the efforts of the SFBA NDTA for raising funds for their scholarships. The group also hosts an annual golf tournament and day at the races; we will keep you posted on those events as well. Indirectly, by members participating in these events, this is a way the council supports student scholarships in the transportation industry.
     
    Further ahead, Saturday evening, January 19, the Navy League's Oakland and Alameda Councils are hosting a crab feed as well. This one, in Alameda, supports
    the two council's adopted commands. Stand by for a separate invitation for this event. Sam Sause has tickets for this one.
     
    Any questions? A reply message will get to Charlie or Sam as appropriate.
     
    Heave Ho,
     
    Phelps

    Ahoy Members and Friends,
     
    I am pleased to announce Stuart Ripley of Sun City Lincoln has come aboard our council - and a three year membership at that! Welcome Aboard Stuart.
     
    Below is an E-mail blast I just sent out to recipients of the Navy League's Pacific Central Region Online Newsletter, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCR-NLUS (readership up four this week).
     
    Our council welcomes new members anytime but the next few days is an opportunity to save some $$$ if you are considering becoming a NLUS life member. Details below.
     
    I can assist - telephone me. Renewing members and new members need to have a credit card number though I suspect the membership application in SeaPower could be mailed in with a check.
     
    If you should have any questions concerning the Navy League, membership or otherwise, telephone or E-mail me.
     
    Together, lets continue to grow this council! Please list me as sponsor.
     
    Heave Ho,
     
    Phelps

    Subject: Navy League Life Memberships: Cost Going Up!

    Ahoy,
     
    LAST CALL:
     
    Please pass the word that the cost of a Navy League life membership will again increase. This time a tiered structure will be implemented.
     
    You don't want to know what some of us "old timers" paid several years ago. 
     
    As for the council's share of this, it is a bit complicated and I don't have that information. I do know that for existing life members, the council receives $4 or $5 annually in the spring. Except for life members who joined in 1984 or before; the council receives no dues split. Headquarters continues to nick off 20% of the dues rebates due councils. Talk to me sometime if interested in such matters.
     
    Right now, please make an effort to notify as many members and potential members of this change effective January 1, 2013.

    Saturday's bowl game is simply frosting on the cake for Midshipmen

    The season is already a success because of bringing the coveted Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy back to Annapolis, Navy goes for the icing on the cake when it faces Arizona State in the December 29 Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco.

    The Midshipmen, thanks to a late Army fumble, hung on to edge the upset-minded Black Knights, officially ending Air Force’s two-year hold on the trophy and giving it to Navy for the eighth time in the last 10 years.

    It was the 11th straight win over Army and gave the Middies seven wins in their last eight games after a 1-3 start that included a victory over only FCS foe Virginia Military Institute.

    “It means everything to get your No. 1 goal,” coach Ken Niumatalolo said after the 17-13 victory. “That’s our No. 1 goal, to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.

    “To know all the hard work, all the running that these guys did in the summer, trying to eat right, do right, practice hard, I’m just so happy for these guys.”

    And now, it’s on to Arizona State, as Navy plays its ninth bowl game in the last 10 years. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=teamreports-2012-ncaaf-nna

    Navy Football Team Volunteers At St. Anthony's Dining Room

    Mids help feed 4,000 people on Christmas morning

    Dec. 25, 2012

    SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--The Navy football team, including Superintendent Vice Admiral Mike Miller, USN and head football coach Ken Niumatalolo, volunteered at St. Anthony's Dining Room this morning in San Francisco helping hand out food and scarves to more than 4,000 people in need on a chilly Christmas morning.

    "This was without a doubt the best bowl event we have ever been a part of," said Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo. "It was very humbling to have the opportunity to be here and I know it's something I want our team to do every year from here on out. It was an eye-opening experience for a lot of our players and having the opportunity to take part in what St. Anthony's does on a daily basis is really what Christmas is all about."

    St. Anthony's has been feeding the homeless in San Francisco for 62 years and feeds more than 3,000 people per day, 365 days per year. In the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, the mission of St. Anthony Foundation is to feed, heal, shelter, clothe, lift the spirits of those in need, and create a society in which all persons flourish. They are committed to providing the poor of San Francisco with basic needs and services as a gateway to reclaiming their sense of dignity and to progressing towards stability. The mission of St. Anthony Foundation is guided by these values:

    HEALING We are committed to a healing ministry serving the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of those who are poor. We are called to solidarity with the poor and seek to identify with those we serve, realizing that by sharing in the healing of others, we too are healed.

    COMMUNITY We are called to solidarity with the poor and seek to identify with those we serve, realizing that by sharing in the healing of others, we too are healed. We invite participation in decision-making by those whose lives are affected, so that all may realize, develop and share their gifts for the good of the community. We strive to promote an atmosphere of openness, trust, and relationship, and to foster a spirit of respect for the gifts and needs of all persons.


    PERSONALISM We seek to honor diversity and treat all people with dignity and respect. We recognize that each person is worthy and valued simply by being. We seek simplicity and flexibility in our operations, and cherish our relationships with one another.

    JUSTICE We seek ways to eliminate injustice and to educate and empower people so that all may claim their rights in society. We believe we have a prophetic role to play in addressing the power structures of society, and seek to be advocates for and with people who are poor, disadvantaged, and outcast. We strive to work toward a society in which the world's abundant resources are made available to all according to need.

    GRATITUDE We celebrate the wonder of life and beauty of creation. We work to be good stewards of all the gifts given to us. We are committed to expressing our joy and gratitude to God and to all who join us in our work.

    Navy will play Arizona State in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on Saturday at 1:00 PM (PT), 4:00 PM in Annapolis on ESPN2.

    INSIDE SLANT

    The season already a success because of bringing the coveted Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy back to Annapolis, Navy goes for the icing on the cake when it faces Arizona State in the Dec. 29 Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco.

    The Midshipmen, thanks to a late Army fumble, hung on to edge the upset-minded Black Knights, officially ending Air Force’s two-year hold on the trophy and giving it to Navy for the eighth time in the last 10 years.

    It was the 11th straight win over Army and gave the Middies seven wins in their last eight games after a 1-3 start that included a victory over only FCS foe Virginia Military Institute.

    “It means everything to get your No. 1 goal,” coach Ken Niumatalolo said after the 17-13 victory. “That’s our No. 1 goal, to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.

    “To know all the hard work, all the running that these guys did in the summer, trying to eat right, do right, practice hard, I’m just so happy for these guys.”

    And now, it’s on to Arizona State, as Navy plays its ninth bowl game in the last 10 years.

    Three weeks after playing in “America’s Game,” the Midshipmen (8-4) meet the Sun Devils (7-5) of the Pac-12.

    “Arizona State is an outstanding football team with great players on both sides of the ball,” Niumatalolo said after learning of his bowl opponent. “We have played a very tough schedule this year and there is no doubt that Arizona State will be as talented as any team we’ve faced.”

    He’s right. The Sun Devils come into this game off two straight wins, the second a come-from-behind victory over rival Arizona.

    The Sun Devils scored 87 points in their last two games, riding a career-high 156 yards and three touchdowns by running back Marion Grice to the 41-34 victory over Arizona that allowed Arizona State to finish 5-4 in league play.

    Arizona State runs a balanced offense that has the Devils tied for 21st in the country in scoring. On defense, Arizona State is a weak No. 78 against the run, and we all know how Navy moves the football, running the triple option.

    Freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who led the Middies on their charge to the bowl, has mixed more passing into the Navy attack. However, Arizona State is 12th in the country against the pass, which might make that a bit more difficult. The Sun Devils are 81st against the run.

    NOTES, QUOTES

    Players To Watch:  

    • Freshman QB Keenan Reynolds is 6-1 as a starter and 7-1 overall after Navy nipped Army Dec. 8. He engineered what turned out to be the winning drive late in that game and continues to do so many special things. “Keenan comes in and uses his man voice,” WR Brandon Turner, who caught a 49-yard pass from Reynolds to set up the winning touchdown. “His presence in the huddle makes you want to believe in him. There’s just something about the kid. The way he led us on that last drive was unbelievable. For a freshman to come in and beat one of the better Army teams in years is incredible.”

    • FB Noah Copeland ran for 110 yards on 17 carries, including touchdown runs of 15 and 16 yards against Texas State and then followed that up with 96 yards and a touchdown against Army.

    • LBs Matt Warrick and Brye French are the Nos. 1 and 3 tacklers, respectively, on the Navy roster heading into the bowl game, but it was LB Cody Peterson who led the charge against Army with 14 tackles.

    Bowl History:   Navy is 7-9-1 in bowl games and has lost four of its last five. The Middies ended a three-game bowl losing streak with a victory over Missouri in the 2009 Texas Bowl, but then lost the Poinsettia Bowl to San Diego State before failing to make a bowl last season.

    Quote To Note:   “There’s something about the kid. The way he led us on that last drive was unbelievable. In one of the biggest games, a freshman came in and beat one of the better Army teams there’s been these last few years. That’s remarkable. That’s incredible.”—WR Brandon Turner, after catching a 49-yard pass from freshman Keenan Reynolds that led to the winning touchdown against Army.

    STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL

    Bowl Breakdown  

    Scouting the running game: Freshman QB Keenan Reynolds brought an added dimension to the Navy triple option attack, a passing game, but the running game remains the staple. FB Noah Copeland appeared to be coming on at the right time and slotbacks Gee Gee Greene and Bo Snelson are both seniors who want to go out with a bowl victory against a team that was No. 81 in the country against the run, yielding 172 yards per game. Navy is sixth in the country in rushing, at 276.42 yards per game.

    Scouting the passing game: Keenan Reynolds, who replaced Trey Miller at quarterback, completed 56-for-97 passes for 884 yards, with eight touchdowns and only one interception. He faces an Arizona State defense that is 12th in the country, yielding 178.8 yards per game.

    Scouting the run defense: Navy fell to 77th in the country against the run when Army ran the ball so well. In the bowl game, the Middies will see the No. 38 rushing attack in the country, with Marion Grice coming off a career-high 156 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over Arizona.

    Scouting the pass defense: Navy is 35th in the country in pass defense, but the Middies were stung by 415 yards of passing by Troy on Nov. 10, so the weakness is there for an Arizona offense that is 45th in the country in passing.

    Scouting the special teams: The kicking game was a strength for the Middies through much of the season, with freshman K Nick Sloan making his first seven college field goal tries. But he has missed four of the last seven (one was a 51-yarder) and has made all 37 extra points. P Pablo Beltran has had a strong season, with a 43.9 average, with 17 of his 40 punts landing inside the 20. Marcus Thomas has a 27-yard kick return average with a long of 36, while Shawn Lynch is the punt returner and has a 40-yarder on his resume.

    Intangibles: It’s always hard to get a read on a service academy team heading into a bowl game because bowls are the second-most important thing on their schedules. The goal at the start of the season is the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, so the bowl is gravy. But this Navy team rebounded from a 1-3 start that included a win over only FCS foe Virginia Military Institute, and then charged to the finish with a freshman quarterback leading the way. Arizona State is weak against the run, which could make the option flourish.

    Roster Report  

    • Freshman QB Rafi Montalvo remained in a coma in a Florida hospital after a Thanksgiving Night car accident. The Middies had his jersey and helmet on chairs at the Army game. “I think it just kind of stressed to everyone on the team that you just never know,” slotback Bo Snelson said. “It’s easy to get down on yourself and grumble that you’ve got to be out at practice, but how would you feel if you weren’t able to come to practice? I think that’s something that really impacted everybody.”

    • LB Keegan Wetzel had two tackles for losses in the Nov. 17 victory over Texas State and added 1 1/2 against Army. That gave him 15 for the season, only one behind cracking Navy’s all-time top five for a season. He was selected independent defensive player of the week after making a career-high 11 tackles, including his third sack, against Army. Wetzel, who had a perfect 1,600 SAT score in high school, was named a Capital One First Team Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America. He is the eighth Navy player to be named First Team Academic All-American and it marks the third-straight year that Navy has had a player make the first team. John Dowd was named first team in 2010 and 2011.

    • LB Brye French and SL Bo Snelson, stripped of their captaincies in August because of rules violations, had their captaincies reinstated before the Army game, with Rear Admiral Michael H. Heller informing coach Ken Niumatalolo of the news via e-mail. “It basically said that after further deliberation and consideration, the superintendent felt that Bo and Brye had exhibited the leadership that is becoming of a captain here and he would like to reinstate them,” Niumatalolo said. “I was super excited when I got that information. I felt good for Bo and Brye, because they have worked very hard to earn that title back.”

    • WR Brandon Turner was suspended from the team after failing the summer conditioning test, but worked his way back and caught a vital 49-yard pass from Keenan Reynolds to help win the Army game. “I wasn’t sure about my career and where it was going,” Turner said of his summer problem. “I remember coach Niumat hugging me after telling me I wasn’t going to Ireland. It was pretty emotional and he told me, ‘There’s going to be one game when this team needs you and you’re going to step up and make a play.’ Turner added: “Before the game today, coach Niumat came over, gave me a hug and said, ‘I’m glad you’re still here.’ I said, ‘Coach, you know I’ve got you. I’m going to make a play for you.’ It’s kind of a Cinderella story. It’s kind of mushy and emotional, but it’s also kind of cool that it turned out that way. After all of what happened with me, it feels good to contribute to a big win.”

    Ahoy Members and Friends,

     

    Thought you might like to see Saturday's drill routine for the Sea Cadet Division we sponsor and support. We are proud of all the Cadets accomplish and very appreciative of the unit's leadership. The relationship between the Pacific Merchant Marine Council and the Arkansas Division Sea Cadets is close. With the August fundraiser on the Potomac we were able to increase our financial contribution in support of the Cadets far and away more than our effort in 2011.

     

    The division's "Annual Inspection" is Saturday, 16 March at the drill site: Yerba Buena Island, Building 2, US Coast Guard Sector San Francisco, California 94130. Our 2012 Navy League Theodore Roosevelt Youth Awards for the Sea Cadet and League Cadet will again be presented - this time in front of the assembled Cadets. The certificate, along with the NLUS ribbon with "Gold Boot" was presented to League Cadet ABC Nunez  while Sea Cadet PO2 Stephan Sobolev will receive his certificate and the League's Theodore Roosevelt Youth Award with medal and ribbon. Two years ago he received the ribbon with the gold boot.

     

    You are welcome to attend, observe, and have lunch as well. We will keep you aware of the best time to arrive to see the presentation of our awards, various ribbons, and other commendations - anticipate 0930.

    Attached please find the POD for the drill this Saturday.  Please report attendance through your chain of command.

    As mentioned by INST Karen Freitas, Arkansas Division and the Band of the West has separated from one another, so that BOTW and become their own independent unit.  This also means that CAPT Cogan will now become CO of the BOTW, and our former XO Guilherme Freitas, was promoted to LTJG and will now become Commanding Officer of the unit. 

    Many thanks for CAPT Cogan for his many years of service and dedication to the unit.  You will certainly be missed.  Congratulations to both LTJG Freitas in your promotion, and to the BOTW in their new commissioning. 

    Respectfully,

    CBS Sunday Morning, a nationally broadcast program, hosted by Charles Osgood, will explore the extraordinary history of the "Big U" as well as the Conservancy's urgent effort underway to preserve the ship's legacy and fulfill her economic potential.      

     

    The show will air at 9:00 AM eastern standard time on CBS. Be sure to tune in this Sunday, January 20 - or set your DVR - and set sail aboard "America's Flagship!"

    In addition to appearing on CBS Sunday Morning this week, the SS United States will enjoy time on the silver screen in the new Niels Arden Oplev thriller Dead Man Down (rated R), starring Colin Farrell and scheduled for release on March 8, 2013.

     
    Scenes were shot aboard the SS United States last April, and the filmmakers used some "digital magic" to move the ship out of her Philadelphia berth. Watch the trailer here (watch for the "Big U" at 01:52).

    Roz McPherson's parents, Capt. James & Lillie McPherson, aboard SS United States

    Roz McPherson, a leading force behind successful museums such as the African American Museum of Philadelphia and the President's House Commemorative Site, was recently profiled by Philadelphia Business Journal for her involvement with the SS United States Conservancy.

    McPherson is working with the Conservancy to develop plans for the SS United States Center for Design & Discovery, an exciting and innovative museum and educational facility.  Stay tuned for more information about our recent progress!
     
    McPherson, passenger on the SS United States in 1958, remembers her experience on board fondly. "We were integrated into the mainstream of the ship's life for the three-day journey. Even at the age of 5, I knew that this ship was special," she says.

    QE2Conservancy Expresses Support and Solidarity for QE2

      

    SS United States & Queen Elizabeth 2

    The RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, the fabled Cunard luxury liner in service from 1969 through 2008, appears to have avoided the scrapper's torch. New press reports indicate that the Oceanic Group, a Singapore-based maritime company, will spearhead the vessel's renovation into a mixed-used facility to be permanently docked in Asia. Facilities will include a luxury hotel, restaurants, retail, event space, and a museum.

     

    A UK-based consortium had previously proposed an exciting adaptive reuse plan for the "QE2" that would site her near London's O2 Arena. Amid these global efforts to save Britain's iconic historic passenger ship, we hope public support in the US continues to grow on behalf of our efforts to rescue and restore the SS United States. You can read our earlier statement here.

    A Message from the Port of Oakland

    Dear Port Stakeholder:

    At the conclusion of last year, the Port of Oakland released a P-Card (Port Purchasing Card) audit as well as an investigative report conducted by independent outside counsel related to improper expenditures and the Port's overall expense policies. In that communication, we committed to a new era of accountability and transparency, and of keeping you informed of our progress.

    Today, we are in that era. The Port is committed to upholding stakeholder trust by adhering to the highest ethical standards of business conduct and promoting a culture of honesty and integrity. In support of this commitment, we have launched a new webpage that serves as an easily accessible public repository for our work to strengthen and enhance our policies and to keep you informed of our progress: http://www.portofoakland.com/portnyou/transparency.asp
     
    Additionally:

    • We our making substantial progress on the review, update, and strengthening of our policies in line with our strategic focus and best practices.
    • We have assembled cross-divisional teams to ensure Port-wide involvement, input, and commitment on new and improved policies. If you have comments or suggestions, please contact one of the policy review team leads.
    • The first slate of policies will be presented to our Board of Port Commissioners in March for approval.
    • We will soon complete state-mandated ethics training for all management employees.

    We encourage you to go to our new Commitment to Accountability and Transparency page where you can see what we are doing to lay the foundation for transforming our organization. You can also easily sign up for updates on these efforts, connect with the Port via social media, and sign up to receive our quarterly electronic newsletter, Currents.

    Thank you for your consideration. Our intent to restore the trust of our stakeholders, employees, and community is unwavering.

    Respectfully Yours,

    Deborah Ale Flint

    Projects:
    1

    San Francisco Bay: Preparing for the Next Level:
    The shoreline of San Francisco Bay is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of sea level rise. Approximately $64 billion in property value on 240 square miles of Bay shoreline is at risk of significant flooding. ARCADIS is assisting Bay Area agencies in assessing risks and developing adaptation strategies. We developed a decision support tool for planners and decision makers to develop their own shoreline adaptation strategies. ARCADIS led a team of U.S. and Dutch engineers and scientists in investigating sea level rise impacts on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay and developing appropriate strategies for adaptation. This study was the first ever project of an alliance between the Netherlands and California on climate change adaptation.

    San Francisco Bay: Former Chemical Manufacturing Plant (86 acres): ARCADIS has been conducting environmental investigations related to soil, sediment, soil vapor, groundwater, pore water quality and remedial actions (including the reclamation of wetlands) at a Former Chemical Manufacturing Plant. Portions of the site have undergone extensive remedial activities including the injection of substrates to remediate groundwater containing VOCs, the installation of a biologically active permeable barrier to treat metal affected groundwater, and the excavation of PCBs, VOCs, pesticides, and metals affected soil. The investigative and remedial work has been conducted in accordance with an order prepared by the DTSC.

    2

    Frank’s Tract Three Mile Slough Salinity Control Barrier:
    As part of improving the water quality and fish migration through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the California Department of Resources and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation are considering the construction of salinity control barriers. ARCADIS completed the evaluation of suitable gate types in the 550 feet wide Three Mile Slough that connects the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. For the project, also known as the Frank’s Tract Gates, ARCADIS conducted the 30 percent mechanical and structural design of a bottom hinged flap gate and adjacent lock facility for boat passage.

    Ahoy Members and Friends,
     
    It is not often that a Navy League council has an adopted vessel a subject of a national television program on a national network to boot - but we do!
     
    Though a shadow of her former glory, she remains the nation's flagship among many great passenger liners. She's ours and we love her.
     
    Tune in to watch the show; catch her elsewhere as well ~ details below.

    The S.S. United States sailed from 1952 until retired in 1969. Here she is delived from Newport News Shipyard to New York.

    The famed superliner SS United States -- once heralded as "the greatest ship in the world" --
    was the fastest, most technologically advanced ship of its day.
    Built in the early 1950s, it broke speed records for trans-Atlantic crossings that stand to this day,
    and became a proud standard-bearer of the United States Lines.

    Saving the SS United States

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3445_162-57569752/saving-the-ss-united-states  

    (CBS News) "Sail on, O Ship of State, Sail on, O Union, strong and great!" Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote those stirring words in his 1849 poem, "The Building of the Ship," a ship he meant as a metaphor for our country. Roughly a century later, we built a ship that really DID stand for our country. As Mark Strassmann is about to show us, that ship of state is a long way from sailing on:

    If you ever find yourself south of downtown Philadelphia, in the parking lot of a strip mall, take a look past the buzzing traffic. There, chained to an idle dock, floats a legend -- forlorn and largely forgotten.

    Only her name still speaks to the pride she once inspired across the nation: The SS United States, what was once heralded as "the greatest ship in the world."

    "This is the most famous ship that didn't sink," said Susan Gibbs, executive director of the SS United States Conservancy. "We all know the Titanic and this spectacular, maiden voyage catastrophe. This ship is famous for many of us, precisely because she did her job."

    Gibbs never sailed on this ship. But interest in the vessel's fate runs in her blood: her grandfather, William Francis Gibbs, was the ship's designer.

    "Certainly, my grandfather was obsessed with this ship. And my children would say I am following in his footsteps," she laughed.

    Gibbs was a self-taught naval architect, a Harvard dropout with a single-minded devotion to his work.

    "He was once asked, 'Mr. Gibbs, do you love that ship more than your wife?' And Gibbs responded, 'You're a thousand percent correct' -- and his wife happened to be there, and she didn't mind," said author Steven Ujifusa. "She understood what this ship meant to him."

    Ujifusa has set out to restore the acclaim Gibbs once enjoyed. Consider this: During World War II, three-quarters of U.S. naval vessels built were designed by Gibbs' firm, from destroyers, to "liberty ships," to the landing craft used on D-Day.

    After the war, Gibbs poured everything he knew into one, ultimate ship. Larger, faster, and far safer than the Titanic, the vessel could accommodate 2,000 passengers in high-style -- though if war broke out, she could be converted to carry 14,000 troops.

    The design was so revolutionary it was classified.

    On her very first Atlantic crossing, in July 1952, she set the world's speed record: three days, ten hours and 40 minutes. Her return time, from England to New York, remains unbeaten to this day.

    "Imagine taking a structure the size of the Chrysler Building, turning it on its side, and pushing it through the Atlantic at 44 miles per hour," said Ujifusa. "That's a heck of a lot of engineering -- and on top of that, make it the most beautiful ship in the world."

    This beautiful ship attracted the beautiful people of her day: Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and artist Salvador Dali. Even that legendary European beauty, the Mona Lisa, made the crossing aboard the "Big U." It was a heady experience for everyone on board.

    "I remembered how absolutely gorgeous those stacks were, what it looks like when it's painted properly," said Roz McPherson

    Back in 1958, five-year-old McPherson and her family sailed to her father's new Army posting in Europe. They had come from the segregated South, but McPherson discovered something remarkable on board: the ship was color-blind.

    "You figure that's 1958 -- that was a big deal to us, as a family from the South, 'cause I would not have been frolicking in a pool in New Orleans, I can guarantee that, with white kids and white families, I can guarantee that," she told Strassmann. "My parents are dressed up in the lounge with white families. We were really treated like regular human beings on this voyage.

    "And that was a big deal."

    Everything about the experience made passengers feel special, and yet no ship could compete with a 707. Jet travel cut the journey to just over six hours. And so in 1969, the SS United States was moth-balled.

    In 1984, her fittings were auctioned off.

    CBS producer Charles Howland happens to be a leading collector of SS United States memorabilia. While the auction was a great opportunity for him, it was also very sad.

    "I thought to myself, 'If I and other collectors don't gather some of this material together and keep it, it'll just be scattered to the four winds. It'll be lost forever, and people will forget what was, what it represented.'"

    Howland's Manhattan apartment is a living shrine to her furnishings -- from cocktail tables to stateroom linens.

    "You eat, breathe, and sleep this ship?" Strassmann asked.

    "Yes!" Howland laughed. His ship-shape rooms are a sight to behold, but he and the SS United States Conservancy have grander designs in mind. They are searching for a final home port where she can be converted into a museum, hotel and conference center.

    The estimated price tag: $150 to $300 million.

    But the clock is ticking: With future funding uncertain, the ship remains in constant danger of being sold for scrap.

    "And if there's a ship that ought to be saved, it's probably the one called the SS United States?" asked Strassmann.

    "Absolutely, absolutely," said Howland. "But it's going to take people of imagination. It's going to take political will, and it's going to take money. We, as a nation, should be able to save our best ship, and she is our best ship. We should be able to celebrate her."

    O Ship of State

    http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-ship-of-state/

    Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
    Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
    Humanity with all its fears,
    With all the hopes of future years,
    Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
    We know what Master laid thy keel,
    What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
    Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
    What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
    In what a forge and what a heat
    Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
    Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
    'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
    'Tis but the flapping of the sail,
    And not a rent made by the gale!
    In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
    In spite of false lights on the shore,
    Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
    Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.
    Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
    Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
    Are all with thee, -are all with thee!
