A color version of this newsletter, as well as past issues, is available from our website at www. navyleaguephilly.org. President's Message Dear Council Members and Friends, The Philadelphia Council of the Navy League has been very busy since the last Pass The Word, so let me brief you on what's happened since the last issue. On January 31 st our Council hosted an officer recruiting event with 32 Philadelphia High School Educators in attendance, and Navy Inspector General Admiral Anthony Winns as the guest speaker (see page 9). The USS John F. Kennedy (CVN67) arrived at its final mooring at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on 22 March with Navy Leaguers on hand to witness the event. The JFK was the Navy's last conventionally powered aircraft carrier. It was launched on 27 May 1967, commissioned on 7 Septe m- ber 1968 and decommissioned on 1 August, 2007 just about one year shy of forty years of honorable service. BZ JFK! Welcome back to Philadelphia. We presented the Philadelphia Council of the Navy League Sword to Midshipman First Class Kelly McKenna at commissioning ceremonies at Villanova University on 22 April. We also presented the Gerard M. Maurer Memorial Sword to Midshipman First Class Michelle Czarniak at commissio n- ing ceremonies at the University of Pennsylvania on 30 April. Those Swords are given to graduating midshipmen who have demonstrated top performance in their NROTC Units. Bruce Hulick, COL, USMC(Ret.), made each presentation, and I thank him for his assistance. In addition, we continued the tradition of giving each graduating midshipman an edition of the Naval Institute's book "Naval Ceremonies, Customs and Traditions." Dave Armstrong and his Ships Committee have been and will continue to be busy. I asked Jack Lieberman, CAPT, USN(Ret.), to lend a hand to the Committee and he graciously agreed to do so. The USS Klakring (FFG42) was in port from 15 May through 19 May. There was the usual and wellattended Happy Hour at Finnegan's Wake and on Friday of that week, the Klakring hosted a reception aboard ship that was attended by 40 plus Navy Leaguers, in spite of foul weather. Honorable Mention goes to Tony Basilio. He answered an SOS asking for someone to pick up reception supplies in Pennsauken that the ship needed for the reception. Page 1

Contributions are welcome Walden Way Doylestown, PA Turns out he was heading back from the Jersey Shore and the timing was perfect. He picked the supplies up at Party Rentals, LTD, and delivered them to the Klakring. Party Rentals generously let the ship use those supplies free of charge. We made a generous contribution to the Klakring's MWR fund. From 28 May through 3 June, the USS Taylor (FFG50) was in port, and again a well-attended Happy Hour was had at Finnegan's Wake. The Skipper of the Taylor presented the Council with a beautiful ship's plaque, and we made a generous contribution to the MWR fund. Rob Bender arranged for a contingent of Taylor sailors to go to a NASCAR race in Dover, Delaware. And Fran O'Brien and Rob arranged for a contingent of Taylor sailors to visit wounded veterans at the Philadelphia VA Hospital. As this PTW goes to press, the USS Carney (DDG64) is slated to be in port from 29 June through 6 July I can't emphasize enough how much the visiting ships appreciate the work of the Ships Committee and Navy Leaguers who support them during their visits. As I said in my remarks at the Annual Dinner on June 19th, the Ships Committee and the Navy Leaguers who assist that Committee fill that important part of our mission of directly supporting our visiting sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen. Bravo Zulu to Dave, his Committee and those of you who help him. Rob and Fran O Brien have been key supporters of Dave as has been Joe Stivala. And continued thanks to Monica Santoro at Penn's Landing Corp. who works closely with Dave and his Committee to make each visit meaningful and enjoyable for our surface warriors. Our Annual Dinner was held at Drexelbrook on June 19th. I refer you to pages 3-4 of this issue for a full report and photos. Many thanks go out to Rob Bender and his Annual Dinner Committee for making it a smashing success again this year. Special thanks to Dindy Liebert, Fran O'Brien, Jill Lamorie and Stu Abramson for their hard work on this event. I regret that I must end this issue on a sad note. Bob Lebair, a long-time Navy Leaguer, died on 20 June after a lengthy illness. Also, J.J. Manion, Jr., the brother of our Navy League colleague, Tom Manion, died suddenly on Saturday, 21 June. We send our deepest condolences to the Lebair and Manion families, and the Philadelphia Council is making contributions to the charities designated by each family. Very truly yours, Phil Katauskas President's Message - continued Page 2
3 Annual Dinner On June 19, 2008 at our3 Annual Navy League Dinner, the Philadelphia Council of the Navy League honored Ralph W. Hooper with its annual Commodore John Barry Distinguished Citizen Award (the 2007 recipient was the Honorable Donald C Winter, Secretary of the Navy) Mr. Hooper has distinguished himself as a patriot whose unselfish use of his resources and executive skills have focused on giving back to our nation and to our sea services. He was born in Philadelphia and was a member of the Naval Academy s graduating class of Upon graduating as an engineer, he remained at the Academy for several months as an instructor. After two years with the Sixth Fleet, he served in the Submarine Force before becoming an Anti- (from left) Admiral Tom Lynch, former Superintendent of the Naval Academy, Council President, Phil Katauskas and Ralph Hooper. Submarine Defense Force staff member, then Flag Lieutenant to its Commander. In 2007, Ralph Hooper was honored as a Distinguished Graduate of the United States Naval Academy. A highly respected philanthropist who played a major role in the creation of the Naval Academy Museum Ship Gallery, Mr. Hooper is also credited with establishing one of the finest ship model displays in the world. Additionally, Mr. Hooper was a driving force behind the building of the Naval Academy s new sports complex. He is a generous contributor to Philadelphia s Independence Seaport Museum and he is a loyal friend and supporter of the Philadelphia Navy League, The Commodore Barry Distinguished Citizen Award is given to a non-active duty individual whose character, distinguished military or civilian service and stature draw wholesome comparison to the qualities to which the Philadelphia Council of the Navy League strives. In addition, our purpose is to identify to the public and our members the broad national signif i- cance of the Navy League as one of the nation s cherished organizations. Page 3

8 Youth Programs Recently the Philadelphia Council increased its support for high school youths by agreeing to sponsor the Marine Corps Junior ROTC units at the Chester High School in Chester and at Sun Valley High School in Aston. This brings a total of eight youth organizations sponsored by our Council: four Sea Cadet units in the Philadelphia area, two Navy JROTC units at Ben Franklin High School in Philadelphia and two at Owen J. Roberts High School in Pottstown. The difference between the JROTC and Sea Cadets is one of funding. The Navy and Marine Corps JROTC units are fully funded and supported by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps with full time paid instructors. The Sea Cadet program relies on the U.S. Navy League Councils and adult volunteer instructors for support. The Navy and Marine Corps JROTC units and the Naval Sea Cadet Corps programs foster the Navy s core values of Courage, Honor and Commitment. Cadets in each program look forward to summer training events. Selected members of the JRTOC units will attend Leadership camp at Norwich Academy. First year Sea Cadets will attend Recruit Training boot camp at Fort Indiantown Gap or Fort Drum. Veteran Sea Cadets will enjoy advanced training involving Medical, Police Science, Port Operations, Basic & Advanced SeaBee training and other challenging ventures. Your Philadelphia Council of the Navy League takes pride in sponsoring these special youth programs: Developing the youth of today to become tomorrow s leaders. (right) Colonel Thomas Manion, USMC (Ret), and Jessica Byrd, local president of the Gold Star Wives, present Outstanding Youth awards to members of the Sea Cadets and JROTC units at our Annual Dinner.
