Commands throughout Naval DistrictWashington (NDW) and the nation will rec-ognize Warrior Care Month in November.The month serves as an opportunity to rec-ognize wounded warriors of all services, aswell as those who care for them, for theirservice, sacrifices and achievements.

In 2008, then-Secretary of Defense Rob-ert Gates designated November as WarriorCare Month in order to inform membersof the military and their families and com-munities about the programs and initia-tives currently being provided through theWarrior Care system and the forthcomingimprovements. Throughout the month, TheOffice of Warrior Care and all of the services’wounded warrior regiments will be high-lighting various wounded warrior programs,activities, stories of recovery, and personaltriumphs. Warrior Care Month is not onlyabout what is being done for our Nation’swounded, ill and injured service members,but also about what they do for us, how theycontinually give back to our communities,their families, and this great nation that theyhave sacrificed so much to protect.

“First it is important to honor the serviceand sacrifices of seriously wounded, ill and

injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen. Theyhave fought tirelessly -- on the front linesand throughout recovery -- and they arean inspiration to all of us,” said Capt. SteveHall, director, Navy WoundedWarrior - SafeHarbor (NWW), on the importance of War-rior Care Month. “Second, it is important tomake the fleet aware of the resources avail-able should they become seriously injuredor ill. One critical resource is NavyWoundedWarrior - Safe Harbor, which provides en-rollees a lifetime of non-medical assistance.The program ensures they can heal withoutdistractions.

The programs available to seriouslywounded, ill and injured Sailor and CoastGuardsmen through NWW are diverse andhelp more than just the service memberswho participate in them. The NWW pro-gram - a department within Fleet and Fam-ily Readiness at Commander, Navy Installa-tions Command - has assisted nearly 2,500service members and their families since itsinception.

“NWW offers many essential services, in-cluding connecting families to respite careresources; addressing pay and personnelissues; assisting with housing and trans-portation adaptation; providing transition

The volunteer orga-nization Points of Light created the day 22years ago to showcase the benefits of fam-ily volunteering and provide opportunitiesfor families to help communities createsupportive environments for their childrenand each other.

“This is probably one of the biggest daysof volunteerism where we encourage fami-

lies to go out into the community and vol-unteer as a unit,” said Olivia Hunter, NDWregional community service program man-ager. “This is another one of our joint-ser-vice projects where all of the branches arepulling their volunteers together, so we’regoing to come out in large numbers. And ofcourse, everyone is welcome because, again,we are encouraging families to volunteerand come out as a unit.”

Hunter said that as a joint service project,members of all the armed service brancheswill be participating. She explained that inyears past, the region has coordinated withvolunteers on National Family VolunteerDay to volunteer at the Armed Forces Retire-ment Home in Washington, D.C., but optedthis year to create a sense of variety whilestill visiting a familiar place.

“This is the very first time that we in NDWare volunteering at The SHABACH! Emer-gency Employment Center,” said Hunter.

November is the Month of the Military Family and itgives us the chance to celebrate the military families for allthey do for our country. Regardless of which branch of ser-vice or the family’s dynamics, military families live a life-style that is unique, challenging and full of opportunities.

What makes up a military family?The obvious answer is a service member, spouse and

children, but it’s far more than that. Military families aremade up of male and female service members, married, tra-ditional or same sex, and there are many single Sailors whohave girlfriends and boyfriends, engaged couples, parents,grandparents and close friends as their support system. Al-though these people may not be listed as a “dependent” inthe service member’s record, they are instrumental to thewell-being of the military member, they are family.

What makes a military family tick?Pride of their service member and love of country come

to mind, but a closer look reveals that a military family’ssuccess is due to the way they cope with the challenges theyface. They pick up and move to new places. They supporteach other when their military spouse deploys and returns.At times military families find themselves dealing with their

service member not being there for important events, hav-ing limited contact and making adjustments when theyreturn; especially if they return with post-traumatic stressdisorder or traumatic brain injury. Couple these with theeveryday stress of raising a family and working.

What is unique to military families?They have unique opportunities. Moving to different

parts of the country and the around world opens up op-portunities for family members to learn about differentcultures. They don’t just visit, they actually live in these

communities. Military families are able to meet and inter-act with different types of people and with the technologyavailable to them, they are able to stay in touch with thesefriends once they move.

With the challenges andopportunitiesmilitary families face,they have resources available to assist themwith their lives.

Every branch has an organization dedicated to support-ingmilitary families. At Naval Air Station Patuxent River, theFleet and Family Support Center stands by to assist families.

FFSC is a one-stop shop for family assistance. Whetherit’s help with finding employment, finding the best educa-tion for their children, classes on stress management, par-enting or improving your finances, they can find it at FFSC.

When they leave the area, either to transition into the ci-vilian sector or a new duty station, the FFSC can help makethe transition smoother too.

In addition, there is the Sexual Assault Prevention andResponse and Domestic Violence Victim Advocate, alongwith counselors who are proficient with couples, individu-als, adolescents and children.

Another resource is the CommandOmbudsman. An Om-budsman provides support and information to assist fami-lies with military life. Each command has its Ombudsman’s

The United States Naval Academy(USNA) Mathematics Department is hon-ored to receive personal papers includingbooks, photographs and other memorabiliaof one of the USNA’s most successful Tri-dent Scholars, Adm. Donald Lee Pilling. Theitems were donated by his widow, Dr. Bar-bara Orbon Pilling, in a dedication ceremo-ny held recently in Chauvenet Hall, USNA inAnnapolis, Md.

The Academy established the TridentScholar Program in 1963 to provide an excit-ing opportunity to a select number of excep-tional midshipmen to pursue independentstudy and research during their senior year.This year marks the 50th anniversary of theprogram. The program pairs each TridentScholar with an assigned faculty adviser andother area specialists to coordinate and su-pervise a research project. At the end of theacademic year, the Trident Scholars presenttheir findings at a research lecture hostedat the Naval Academy. The most outstand-ing research project is awarded the Officeof Naval Intelligence Harry E. Ward TridentScholar prize.

Pilling graduated fourth in his 1965 NavalAcademy Class with a bachelor of sciencedegree in mathematics and was one of the

school’s first Trident Scholars. His TridentScholar project, “Distributivity and Com-pleteness in Implication Algebra,” involvedthe study of partially ordered systems. Un-der the direction of his adviser, the late Dr.James C. Abbott, USNA mathematics de-partment, Pilling won the Harry E. WardTrident Scholar prize.

Pilling went on to earn a Ph.D. in math-ematics from the University of Cambridge,United Kingdom in 1970 with a disserta-tion, “The Algebra of Operators for RegularEvents,” under Dr. John H. Conway, Uni-versity of Cambridge. His clarity of criticalthinking and demonstration of excellencewas clearly evident in his early years. Hepublished articles in mathematical andprofessional journals and was the author ofa 1989 Brookings Institution monograph,“Competition in Defense Procurement.”

Pilling enjoyed a distinguished naval ca-reer culminating with a tour as the Navy’s30th Vice Chief of Naval Operations in No-vember 1997. He retired as an Admiral inOctober 2000.

Admiral Pilling passed away on May 26,2008 and rests on top of a hill at the NavalAcademy Cemetery, overlooking the scenicAnnapolis Harbor in Annapolis, Md.

Admiral Pilling is survived by his wifeof 42 years, Dr. Barbara Pilling whose gen-erosity of providing his works is gratefullyacknowledged. They have two daughters,Kathleen Pilling Posivak and Jennifer Pill-ing Stopkey.

The USNA mathematics department istruly excited to add this collection of Pill-ing’s personal papers to the library’s hold-ings of materials that continue to motivate,inspire and guide midshipmen. The paperswill be immensely valuable to contempo-rary scholars including faculty, staff andmidshipmen, who will have the opportunity

to study these documents and use them tosupplement their studies of defense acqui-sition, national security issues, and foreignpolicy implications for future naval forces.Readers will gain an insight into Pilling’sdecision making, logical reasoning, andmethodical thinking process as well as hislegendary intelligence and enduring wit.

Retired CIA officers San-dra Grimes and JeanneVertefeuille have written amuch needed account ofthe capture of the long serv-ing CIA mole Aldrich Ames.Typically, the Ames case hasbeen popularized by the FBI,but in reality it would be ajoint CIA-FBI investigationthat led to his apprehensionin February 1994. Readerswill learn how simple clues,such as Ames second-wifeRosario would send expen-sive gifts from their stationin Rome, such as a $400 silkscarf to CIA colleagues whosent her basic and everydayhousehold items unavail-able in Italy. There wouldalso be a tedious tracing ofAmes finances, and the au-

thor’s patient numbering ofCIA operatives who had con-tact with the doomed Sovietspies, out of 400 people,Ames popped up as havingthe most contacts, so the la-dies started from there andworked their way downward.This is not for those wantinga spy thriller, but for thosewith an appreciation for thedifficulty and dead-ends ofcounter-intelligence work.Ames provided informa-tion to the Soviet Union thatsealed the fate of eight Sovi-

et intelligence officers whowere providing informationto the United States. May toDecember 1985, would seea near-catastrophic loss ofstable Soviet assets. The au-thors are among a team thathelped identify Ames, a pro-cess that took three years.

hampered the identification of Ames, andhow such firms as Morgan Stanley and Mer-rill Lynch at the time refused to hand overrecords, because the national security letterauthorizing the investigation of Ames didnot include brokerage houses.

future of those working hard in defendingthe United States through the patient ef-forts of counter-intelligence, writing, “Wecould concentrate our efforts on one coun-try and one government (the Soviet Union).Alas, the colleagues who have come afterus do not have that luxury.” Read “Circle ofTreason” and get a real glimpse of counter-espionage.

REVIEWContinued from 5

“This year, we decided to switch and haveMake a Difference Day at the Armed ForcesRetirement Home, which was our projectOctober 26. But since we always go to theArmed Forces Retirement Home for Nation-al Volunteer Day, we decided to do that firstand go to SHABACH! for volunteer day. Welike to mix it up for our volunteers becausewe don’t want them to think that that onething is all that we do.”

The SHABACH! Community ServicesEmergency Empowerment Center includesan emergency food pantry and clothing clos-et that regularly provides food and clothingto thousands of adults in the area through-out the year. Hunter said that the NationalFamily Volunteer Day volunteers will be fill-ing bags of groceries to be distributed to low-

income families for the holiday season.While registration for the SHABACH!

Emergency Empowerment Center NationalFamily Volunteer Day event is full, Huntersaid that other events are available aroundthe region that all should get involved in.

“Points of Light is one of the organiza-tions whose events we usually mirror. ThePoints of Light website [www.pointsoflight.org] is a wonderful website to visit for any-one looking to volunteer.”

Hunter encourages all in the region tovolunteer in their communities for NationalFamily Volunteer Day, not only for the goodof the community, but themselves.

“We want everyone to volunteer,” saidHunter. “It just feels so good when youknow that you’re doing a good deed forsomeone else.”
