But just as we mar take pride in our past. we must also look ahead. The future holds great challenges. Each of us must he ready, so that when our nation calls once again, the First Marine Brigade will be ready to go - ant clime, any place!

Happy' Birthday Band of Brothers!

"Take up our quarrel with the foe!

To you from falling hands we throw

The torch. Be yours to hold it high,

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders field."

It is particularly fitting that Veterans Day should be returned this year to the tradi- tional Nov. 11 Armistice Day observance, since 1978 marks the 60th anniversary of the silencing of the guns of World War I.

Die hostilities, which began late in July 1914, were suspended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. At war's end, General John J. Persh-- ing said to the men of the American Expedi- tionary Forces: "The enemy has capi- tulated. It is fitting that I address myself in thanks directly to the officers and soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces who by their heroic efforts have made possible this glorious result. Our armies, hurriedly raised and hastily trained, met a veteran enemy.

By Chivk Leusner USASC, Philadelphia

There's quiet now, the guns are stilled

Yet in the fight our ranks were filled.

No trench, nor other lowly place Has need of us for war's embrace.

We are veterans - inured from war

We know the tyrants off our shore,

Peace was our goal our lofty aim

It was our single hope to claim.

And - some have fallen, glory draped

Paid full measure for freedom's sake

We ask for them, your pledge, your vow

You'll keep in trust this peace somehow.

That each of you in somber thought

Holds high this peace so dearly bought,

That you will guard with love, esprit

This land of hope and liberty !

Novembor s, 1978; Howell Marin, Pew JP

and by courage, discipline and skill always defeated him . . ."

The World War I armistice led to spon- taneous and boisterous demonstrations in the United States and all over the world. Then veterans returned to their civilian pur- suits, those who did not lie under the fields of crosses scattered across Europe.

In the following years, Armistice Day ceremonies were alVv4Ys led by the con- tingents of former doughboys. As age reduced their ranks, they have been giVe the place of honor at the head of processions on Armistice Day and the subsequent Veterans Day.

The war dead are also especially honored. Focal point for the nation's memorial ser- vices on Veterans Day is the Tomb of the

COMISSARY CLOSED The Commissary will be closed Saturday

Nov. 11 in honor of Armistice Day. The Commissary Store also announced they will close on Thursday. Nov. 23, Thanksgiving Day.

Many thousands of Americans did not return to the United States after World War I and are resting in graves all over Europe. In 1923, the American Battle Monuments Commission was created to erect and main- tain .memorials in the United States and foreign countries where U.S. armed forces had served. The beautiful chapels and other memorials, which are part of these ceme- teries, set the tone for cemeteries that would be established years later to honor the dead from World War II Korea and Vietnam.

The smallest of military overseas ceme- teries is the Flanders Field American Ceme- tery and Memorial in Belgium. A poem (above) written about the war dead buried there could well apply to the nation's honored military dead in all cemeteries.

Mission accomplished -despite foul weather

By Sgt Joke M. Prosser

While K-Bay was getting drenched by the rainfall last week, 135 Marines from 2d Battalion, Third Marines, and Bravo Battery, 1/ 12, were battling the wind and rain at Kahoolawe during Fire Support Coordination _exercise 3-78.

Monday, Oct. 30, their arrival was greeted w'th the quiet before the storm. "We came in Mon- day and the weather was nice." said Corpoial ndy Vincent, Communications Platoon, Head- quarters and Service Company, 24 Battalion, d Marines. "Monday night the weather turned really bad. No one expected the amount of rain or the high winds we got."

The battery Marines and elements of 2/3 went to Kahoolawe to practice coordination of supporting arms available to the infantry battalion, according to Lieutenant Colonel Walt Boomer, commanding officer of 213.

"The company commanders were on the troop safety line with their normal attachments and communications personnel," said LiCol: Boomer. "These included an artillery forward observer, an 81mm mortar forward observer and a forward air controller (FAC).

."In the course of battle, all Pieces have to fit and everyone must know their job," LtCol. Boomer said. "The battalion staff is mostly new and needs practice. Kahoolawe is the place to learn, short of actual combat."

A scenario was worked up by the S-2 and given to the 2/ 3 company commanders by the Com- bat Operations Center (COC). The COC pve special problems to the company commanders and they in turn called in fire missions depending on the tactical plan of the mock battle.

The operations officer in the COC oversees the fire support coordination center. "Attention is focused on the fire support coordinator as he monitors all incoming fire missions from artillery. air and Naval gunfire," said Major Howard Nielsen, operations officer for 2/ 3,."Silence is con- sent in clearing the fire missions. If the fire support coordinator does not interrupt the fire mission with a needed correction, then the fire mission is approved:"

The tactical maps used for Kahoolawe are overprinted in the impact area with white dots (marking targets), red stars (indicating historic/archaeological sites) and some white-dotted tar- gets marked with an X indicating they are close to historic sites. The Fire Support Coordination Center insured no historical or achaeological sites were fired upon.

"We received good training even with the had weather," said Lance Corporal Robert Horner, an artilleryman from Bravo Battery.

The battery shifted some of the howitzers into puddles of Water but since necessity is the mother of invention, we got it done."

('AN'T FIND IT IN HERE - Corporal Curtis Boutin of Company A, 1st Radio Battalion, checks the manual at the Uniform Shop in the Main Exchange here for the proper wearing of the dress blue uniform. The waist- plate he is holding (lower right) is a commercial item and is NOT authorized for wear with any uniform.

Belts & badges Make sure you have correct kind

Every year about this time, as Marines break out their dresS blues for the birthday ball and other festivities, some unorthodox and unauthorized uni- form accessories surface. This year it's the so-called "NC() waist plate" for the dress blues.

There is NO NCO waistplate. There are only two types of waistplates authorized for wear with blues. One is plain, NO emblem, and this is for privates through sergeant. From staff sergeant on up. there is a more ela- borate waistplate with the Marine Corps emblem surrounded by a wreath stamped into it. Forget about the white duty belts worn by military police and others when they are on duty. 'These are not authorized for wear with the blues.

A word about medals, ribbons and badges. When large medals are worn. shooting badges are NOT worn. The large medals should be centered on the left breast pocket with the top leading edge of the ribbon bar midway between the first and second buttons. The medals are NOT hung on the flap of the pocket. Unit citations and other awards for which there is no medal are worn I /8 inch above the right breast pocket.

Miniature medals are worn. officers and staff NCOls only on the mess

dress or evening dress jackets. Unit citations are NOT worn when miniature medals are worn.

Twins taking tour together By SSgt. Willie J. Caw

They're sisters .

They're Marines . . .

They're identical - twins that is.

They speak in the same mellow pitch; their eyelids appear to blink with every syllable they enunciate. Even the Marine uni- form they wear is the same in appearance and size. They both respond instantly to the words Sergeant Klat. Vivian, a batta- lion S-4 clerk at Camp H.M. Smith, sits to my left and Diane, who works in the food services area at the Kaneohe Bay air sta- tion, sits to my right --- or is it the other way around?

Vivian speaks up and resolves the identification problem. "Don't feel bad about confusing our names," she whispered, "our mother still has her doubts at times."

"That's true," says Diane recalling the way their mother addresses them when she's not sure which is which. "Momma blurts out both our names as tif they were one. 'Viviandiane' she'll call, regardless if there's only one of us in the room at that moment."

The duo has had plenty of time over the years to adjust themselves to the reality of being mirror images. It's some-

thing they now seem to accept very casually. "Don't get us wrong," says Vivian tossing a 'don't you agree

with me type glance' at her sister, "we still think being look-a- likes is exciting, but it's also routine for us if you know what 1

mean. "People are always curious about our physical likeness," she

added, "and we almost always respond eagerly to their questions."

Occasionally, though, someone will ask the pair how they

ended up in the Marine Corps. Their answer is short and pat. "We joined for the experience."

"Until high school graduation time in 1975," said Vivian, "I had never beard of female Marines. Guess it was a well

guarded secret," she quipped. "Anyway, I wasn't ready for college, so out of curiosity I visited the local recruiting office for information on service programs.

"I spoke with several recruiters from each branch of service and in short was more impressed with the Marine Corps pro- gram. My next step was to sell Diane on the idea of entering service with me."

The two find it amusing that they chose a service hitch, over college in contrast to their older brother, Michael, who decided on the opposite. "He followed his nose and we followed ours." they agreed, "and we still have the opportunity to complete our education."

Hawaii is the twins' second duty area following Parris Island, S.C. To hear them tell it, Hawaii is Utopia. "Everything we enjoy doing can be done right here on the island," Vivian said. tennis, jogging and the many other social activities that seem. endless," added Diane. "We are basically out-of-doors types and love to keep busy with individual projects."

When the twins say individual projects, they mean it liter- ally. They insist they do things better when they do them separately, because they tend to be overprotective working together. Separately they say they are more competitive, and that the competition strengthens their individual skills.

"That may sound odd coming from two people who enjoy doing basically the same things," they pointed out, but the system works for us. Besides it gives us more to talk about, when we lead separate lives, so to speak."

Vivian and Diane describe themselves as restless, competi- tive and sensitive persons with a great appreciation for art and artifacts. They claim to like the same kind of music, food, clothes and to be attracted by the same type of guys. "We even think alike a great deal of the time," Diane said.

And why not? They're sisters . . .

They're Marines . . .

They're identical -- twins that is!

Many Marines may not realize that ideas can mean money in their pockets, command recognition, self-satisfaction and, perhaps best of all, improved working co ndit iOns or foced u res.

The Beneficial Suggestion Program exists in order to find new and better methods, procedures and equipment while saving substantial funds through cost reduction, energy conservation and elimination of waste. All commands have Beneficial Suggestion Program administra- tors and encourage the submission of ideas that will promote efficiency, economy and effectiveness in the Marine Corps.

Suggestions are needed in areas such as improving methods, procedures.dools and machines; combining procedures, material, records, reports; eliminating unnecessary work, duplication, operations, break ige, waste, hazards; devising new tools, equipment, machines, methods; and saving manpower, money, material, time and space. The fact that within the Marine Corps approximately 10 times as many civilians as military men submit suggestions and get paid for them indicates that many Marines must not be aware of what this program can do for themand the Marine Corps.

You who work with the procedures; equipment and methods are the best ones to recommend improvements; so if you have ever said. "There is a better way to do this," put your idea in writing on Suggestion Form (NAVSO 1245018) and submit it to your Beneficial Suggestion Program administrator.

For further information on your command's program. contact your program administrator as follows:

Marine Barracks 474-3161 (Adjutant) FM FP 477-6436 (G-4) Camp Smith 477-6367 (5.4) 1st Marine Brigade 257-2354 257-2240

(G-4 logistics chid) MCAS Kaneohe Bay -- 257-355h

(civilian personnel) NRMC Hawaii 471 -3071 (personnel

officer) For Marines stationed with station units

at K-Bay. suggestion forms will be avail- able at squadron offices, the Housing Office, and Civilian Personnel Office (Bldg. 267).

'So put on your thinking caps and don't keep that idea for a "better way" secret. Let it work for you and for a more efficient Marine Corps.

PONDERING THE PASS - Marine Ground Quarterback John Ryan

takes his time, looking for the open man. Ryan's quarterbacking has led

Marine Ground into the playoffs this year. Ryan hasn't always got this much

time. During the game against DIVARTY, he was sacked several times by

Joe "Too Tall" Jones.

DIVARTY shut out by Marine Ground

In the final games of the eight man tackle football season. Marine Barracks defeated Camp Smith on a rain swamped field. 14-0. DIVARTY (Division Artillery). visited K-Bay and lost to Marine Ground. 14-0 and Marine Air went to Schofield to face 45th Support Battalion and lost. 52-24.

The Marine Ground defense put on a good . show holding DIVAR.IFY scoreless for four quarters of play. The Marine Ground offense also did a

good job scoring once in the first quarter and once in the third quarter. I he win over DIVARTY placed Marine Ground into the play-offs against Marine Barracks.

I he Marines came onto the field ready and scored early in the first quarter with a long pass for about 70 yards and 6 points. The PAT was no good. The rest of the first half went scoreless with both teams moving the ball then los- ing it.

The second play of the third quarter afforded Ground with another score. Steve Brooks took the ball on a sweep left from the 3I-yard line and scored. Brooks also ran the PAT in making the score. 14-0. Ground followed the TD with an onside kick. They recovered the ball and took possession on the 47- yard line.

Neither team scored the rest of the game but several outstanding plays were made by players on both teams. On the Ground team: John Ryan. Bob Swan- son. Steve Brooks and Weldon Goodman made outstanding efforts. On the DIVARTY team the threats were; Clifford Parks, Mike Norwood. Kim Crawford and Joe "Too Tall" Jones.

The annual Marine Corps Birthday Game will be played today at II a.m.. between Marine Barracks and Marine Ground. The top two Marine teams

. will vie on the Station Football Field following the cake cutting ceremony which kicks off the Marine Corps 203d birthday here.

'262, H&HS tops The 1978 Intramural Flag Football championship

will be played on Pop Warner Field starting Monday at 4 p.m. The four top teams in theintramural League will meet and play each other to determine who will be

this year's champs. Last year's champs were Marine Medium Heli-

copter Squadron (HMM) -262: they again lead the

league this year. They are followed closely by Head- quarters and Headquarters Squadron ( H& HS) which is currently second in the league. H M M-262 has

played H&HS twice and beaten them both times.

Their last game against H&HS ended in a 20-0 win for H M M-262.

I ( ;OT HIM, I GOT HIM - An HMM-262 rusher holds up the flag of H&HS quarterback Jim Adams forcing a loss of yardage for H& HIS. H M M-262 went on to win the game. 20-0.

Marines, Marine Air Traffic Control Unit ( M ATC(1)- 70 and the Joint Public Affairs Office (JPAO) dropped out.

The H M M-262 winning power is a combination of go quarterbacking by Gerry Berry and catching by MikilkVistombe ancrKarl Schwelm, as well as a tough

.offeraltve and defensive line. HM M-262 mostly uses a

passing game, only running when forced to. The H&HS team is coached by Herb Kondo and

Tim Shepherd, both of Station Training. They are quarterbacked by Richard Alvarado and Jim Adams. Other H&HS threats include Charles Stiers, Harry Huff and David Kapono. Run plays and short passes make up most of the H&HS game plan but they also mix up some reverses and screen passes to break up the pattern.

An all-star team will be picked from the team in the play offs. In turn, they will play against ail-star teams from other services t or the Interaervici ( hampionship.

Meet a buddy thru diving club

A few years ago, the only people who where caught going into the murky depths of the ocean were Sunday afternoon thrill seek- ers or crewmen of the famed Calypso. But now it's not just the thrill seeker, it's families, young and old who are out to explore the mysteries that have baffled men throughout time.

Aboard the air station, there is a diving organization. "Aku Marine Dive Club," that instructs and familiarizes those lured to the sea. A joint effort between the number of people wanting to don their mask and fins and the support of the command has enabled the dive club to expand and turn dreams into reality.

The dish provides you with a "diving buddy," someone you should never be with- wit. Diving is not a spectator sport unless you're just practicing in the local pool and the neighborhood kids are gathering around. It is an experience that only you and your "buddy" control.

Along with diving buddies at the club, you would also meet a wide variety of divers whose skills range to all levels. Outings may be arranged and there is no limit to how often you can participate in the activities.

There are films, seminars, displays and a spread of knowledge and leadership in the dup. Dives are scheduled for almost every Saturday, Sunday and holiday, weather permitting.

At this time, Special Services is in the pro- cess of obtaining diving equipment which will be available to.all eligible and certified divers in the club who have not been able to obtain their own equipment.

The next meeting will be held Monday at 7

p.m. in Bldg. #106 (by the Marina) and there will be an election of new officers then. All certified divers aboard the air station are encouraged to come and see what the club can do for you, and perhaps what you can do for the club. For further information, call GySgt. Tom Nash at 257-2244 or 254-2668.

Portugat'Sarges' One of the largest sailing ships docks

One of the world's four tallest sailing ships, Portugal's Naval training bark "Sarges" will dock at Honolulu Harbor Pier 10 at 10 a.m. Saturday for a week long official visit as part of Hawaii's Portuguese Centennial celebration.

The nearly 300-foot-long Sarges was built in 1937 in Hamburg, Germany, and originally was commissioned the "Albert Leo Schlageter" by the German Navy. It was later captured by American forces in 1945 and handed over to the Brasilian Navy, where it became the "Guana- bara". In 1962 it was purchased by Portugal and dubbed "Sarges."

This is the first trip the ship has made to Hawaii and its visit here will be celebrated in regal

fashion. It comes to the islands from the West coast of the Mainland where record crowds of more than 10,000 per day toured the ship.

While here, the Sarges will be open free for the public's viewing from I to 5 p.m., Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. In addition, a special two-hour open house has been set aside from 9 to II a.m., Monday for tour groups from Hawaii's schools.

The Sarges arrival will be reminiscent of the colorful "boat days" of old Hawaii with the

presentation of a bow lei by the United States Navy and an escort into Honolulu Harbor by fire boats, outrigger canoes and a fleet of sailboats. The Royal Hawaiian Band will be dockside along with native dancers.

During the ship's stay, officers will make an official visit to the Arizona Memorial and the National Cemetery of the Pacific Courtyard of the Missing. They will also place a lei on the

gravesite of Sgt. LeRoy A. Mendonca, who is the youngest recipient in U.S. history of the Con- gressional Medal of Honor for valor. Sgt. Mendonca, who saved his entire Army platoon from annihilation in the Korean War, was a young Hawaiian of Portuguese ancestg.

The 'Surges' Hawaii visit concludes the ship's annual training for midshipmen and cadets of the Portuguese Naval Academy.

This sailing ship is the third masted vessel in the Portuguese Navy to bear the name Sarges

after a promontory on the Southwest coast of Portugal which played a significant role in the

'country's naval history. It was the village of Sarges that Prince Henry the Navigator chose to

become the navigational school and center, of Portugal's exploration and discoveries in the New World during the 15th century.

Toys for Tots Mickey this year's poster theme

Mickey Mouse, the famous Walt Disney cartoon character introduced to the world on November 18, 1928, in "Steamboat Willie" and who celebrates his 50th birthday this year, is the main poster theme for the 1978 Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for tots" national poster.

For the 31st year, the Marine Corps Reserve is sponsoring the "7 oys for 'Tots" program which is designed to collect toys for millions of underprivileged children during Christmas. Some 33,000 Marines of the 4th Marine Division and 4th Marine Aircraft Wing located in over 180 cities across the country will participate.

To assist the Marines and to bring the word to the community, thousands of Mickey Mouse posters, which were designed by Mr. Bob Moore, creative director for marketing at Walt Disney Productions, will be attached to collection barrels by Marine Reservist across the nation during their annual November-December campaign.

The 1978 poster was presented to the Marine Corps Reserve during a special cere- mony at the world-famous Disneyland Park, Anaheim, Calif. However, this year's poster

is not the lirst donated by the Disney. .organiration for the Marines.

Walt Disney presented the Marine Reserve with their first "Toys for Tots" poster during the late '40s. Simple in design, it included Santa in his suit of Christmas, a

USMC emblem on his belt buckle, and a

three-car train bearing the words "Toys for Tots." The train has since- been adopted as the programs' official logo.

Mr. Bob Moore, who has been with the Disney Studios since 1940, was responsible for the 1965 "Toys for Tots" poster. He volunteered the services of the popular Dis- ney character Donald Duck for that year. Mr. Moore also designed a commemorative stamp honoring Walt Disney which was issued by the Postal Service in 1968.

The Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" program began in 1947 when three Marine Reservists in Los Angeles were dis- cussing their city's collection drive. The pro- gram has always had but one purpose: to collect new unwrapped toys for children who might otherwise be neglected at Christmas time.
