7 Hall of Honor As the alumni organization for the Air Force ISR Agency and all of its predecessor agencies and commands, the Freedom Through Vigilance Association created the HOH in 1983 to pay tribute to individuals who have s erved with great distinction and contributed immeasurably to successful mission accomplishments in the Air Force and, in particular, ISR. To date, 159 individuals have been inducted into the HOH. At this year s induction, In 2011, Bob Sherwood once again did an outstanding job chairing the FTVA s Hall of Honor (HoH) selection process. The Hall of Honor s purpose is to identify, recognize, and honor individuals with lineage to USAFSS, ESC, AFIC, AIA and/or the AF ISR Agency, who have served with great distinction and who have brought recognition, credit and honor to the command/agency and themselves. Many thanks to CMSgt (Ret) Sherwood for his leadership and sense of purpose to again select the best of the best. The 2011 Hall of Honor (HoH) Selection Committee included the following personnel: Command Chief Master Sergeant (Ret) Bob Sherwood Chairman Brigadier General (Ret) Grover Jackson Colonel (Ret) Bob Cope Colonel (Ret) Bill Ballard Command Chief Master Sergeant (Ret) Okey Warden Chief Master Sergeant/GS-15 (Ret) Bob Egger Chief Master Sergeant (Ret) A.J. Harrison Gen (Ret) Michael V. Hayden General Hayden is, without a doubt, the most well-rounded intelligence officer this country has ever produced. From his days as the Commander of the Air Intelligence Agency, to his selection as the Director of National Intelligence, to his culminating assignment as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, no individual was as prepared to transform the national intelligence structure and prepare it for the future cyber warfare era. Due to General Hayden's foresight, American civil rights have been maintained while simultaneously preparing and safeguarding the Nation against cyber threats. During his nearly forty years of active duty military service, General Hayden's integrity, professionalism, intellectuality and thoughtful decisionmaking propelled him into highly-visible, top level positions of the Federal government wherein he earned the respect and confidence of principals within the national intelligence community, the Congress, the President and the Nation'sallies around the world. Citizens of the United States are safer today because of the efforts of General Hayden. 7
8 Lt Gen John C. Koziol Lieutenant General Koziol is the Nation's premier Air Force Intelligence Officer. He has kept the current and potential future contributions of the AF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency and the legacy of its predecessor organizations at the forefront of the Air Force and national intelligence. He transformed the Agency from a dying entity into the ISR powerhouse that it is today. Because of his transformational efforts, our ISR collections process is second-to-none. The USAF and the AF ISR Agency lead the way in protecting forces on the ground, in the air, and in cyberspace. As a result of General Koziol's actions, the AF ISR Agency is postured to take on even more responsibilities as it grows and expands to over 21,000 personnel. General Koziol's selection as the 2008 Secretary of the Air Force Zuckert Award winner is a testament to his leadership. This award is the highest management award a serving general officer can receive. During his 34-plus years of active duty service, General Koziol's outstanding professionalism and respect within the national intelligence community, as well as accomplishments for and within the AF ISR Agency, have contributed immeasurably to the successes of the AF ISR Agency. CMSgt (Ret) Edward L. Barnes Chief Master Sergeant Ed Barnes is one of those rare individuals who consistently exude professionalism, competence, self-confidence and leadership. Possessing an aura of authority and an imposing recruiting poster image, everyone listened when he spoke because his message had to be important. He was at the forefront of the development of four major projects: (I) Air-to-ground-to-air secure communications systems embodied by the ANfURC-53; (2) WHITEWOLF Advisory Support instructions to protect reconnaissance aircraft and aircrews; (3) the lay-down of USAFSS collection assets in Europe; and (4) the initial cadre that developed the COMFY OLYMPICS program (now entitled the Major General Doyle Larson SENSOR OLYMPICS program). More significantly, and of greater value to the command, he served as a teacher, leader, guidance counselor, motivator and mentor of young Airmen, NCOs, senior NCOs and officers. The consummate professional who demonstrated the highest standards, Chief Barnes effectively used his positions of Command Senior Enlisted Advisor for all USAF Security Services European units and Headquarters Electronic Security Command's NCOIC Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations as bully pulpits to set the standards of performance, decorum and leadership. CMSgt (Ret) Donald W. Hatcher Chief Hatcher's superior performance and commitment to excellence were evident throughout his 30-year career, beginning with receiving individual recognition as the command's top Czech linguist, through his mid-career accomplishments as a supertechnician and outstanding trainer/ educator, and concluding with his effectiveness as a leader and manager. Never satisfied with the status quo, Chief Hatcher worked tirelessly to improve enlisted training, intelligence operations and morale & welfare around the globe. His numerous command-level and Air Force level accolades, including selection as one of the USAF "Top 12" Outstanding Airmen of the Year, are testaments to his enduring and far reaching achievements which will positively impact the enlisted corps for years to come. Whether a linguist "sitting rack", operations superintendent at one of the Air Intelligence Agency's largest overseas units, managing technical training in the joint environment, or the Command Chief Master Sergeant for the Air Intelligence Agency, Chief Hatcher set the standard in all endeavors. 8

17 Sculptor Jerry McKenna At 73, sculptor Jerry is in his prime. He first took up the art twenty-one years ago, after retiring from the USAF at 52. McKenna s story is a remarkable one. McKenna divides his life into three: his childhood and student years at the University of Notre Dame; his years in the Air Force and raising his family with his wife, Gail; and the time after his military retirement, in which he has become one of America s most sought-after realist sculptors. His monumental bronze sculptures and busts dot the country and the world, and include his iconic rendition of Notre Dame football coaches, Air Force generals, saints, and religious figures and moments in history such as his sculptural tableaux of the Lincoln-Douglas Debate in Alton, Illinois. He also has three sculptures in Ireland Ollie Walsh in Thomastown, Boerne, Texas and five grown children and eleven grandchildren. 17
18 Jerry is most proud of his Irish heritage. The McKennas emigrated from County Monaghan in 1840 and his paternal grandmother was born in Cullen, County Cork, and came to America in His mother s family, the Dowlings, came from Ballyhale, County Kilkenny and arrived in Baltimore in Over the past thirty five years, McKenna has made over 40 trips to Ireland. He told Irish America If Gail and I make no other trips during the year, we always manage a visit to Ireland. This year, we took our grand-daughter, Heather. We covered 1,000 miles and twenty-six of the thirty-two counties. Exhausting, but fun. For twenty-five years, the Irish America Magazine has recognized the country s 100 outstanding Irish Americans of the year; this March, Jerry McKenna was one of nine new inductees into the Irish American Hall of Fame, all of whomwere celebrated on its Top 100 list over the years. On the list, you can find community leaders and government officials, philanthropist and human rights activists, sports legends, and rising stars, Oscarnominated actors and pioneering scientists, and writers and musicians. (McKenna's self-published book, "A Third Life: Sculptures for God, Country & Notre Dame," tells of his journey from billboard painter to lieutenant colonel in USAF to accomplished sculptor.) 18

20 Heritage Chapter, Goodfellow dedicates Sebers Hall Members of the 316th Training Squadron and the FTVA Heritage Chapter held a ceremony Friday, honoring an Air Force intelligence NCO for whom Building 519 is named. "We need to make our new intelligence students aware of our intelligence pioneers, those men and women who laid the foundation for what we do today, said Chief Bendinelli, who also serves as the Heritage Chapter vice president. "It's important for them to know and understand the intelligence contributions made by these men and women. They have quite a legacy to live up to." Fred Sebers, an Everett, Wash., native, enlisted in the Navy at age 16 during World War II and manned a 50-caliber machine gun aboard a landing craft in Okinawa. Sergeant Sebers left the Navy after the war, but reenlisted in 1949 for four years before joining the Air Force as a parachute rigger and stunt jumper. After a few "close calls" in his initial Air Force specialty, Sergeant Sebers crosstrained into the intelligence career field in 1959, becoming a communications analyst at Goodfellow. Ironically, his first assignment as a "202" (today's 1N4, Signals Intelligence Analyst specialty) took him back to Okinawa, which was a considerably more tranquil place than when he was there 15 years earlier. Following his Okinawa tour, Sergeant Sebers volunteered for an assignment in Taiwan before returning to Goodfellow in 1964 as a member of the 6948 th Security Squadron. During his assignment to Goodfellow, Sergeant Sebers learned the Air Force had developed a method of conducting radio directionfinding operations from aircraft. Intrigued, Sergeant Sebers volunteered for this new mission, even though it meant going to Vietnam. Arriving in Nha Trang, Republic of Vietnam, in the summer of 1967, Sergeant Sebers spent the next couple of months as an airborne communications analyst with Det 1, 6994 th Security Squadron, flying specially modified EC-47 "Electric Goon" aircraft on the new and highly classified Airborne Radio Direction Finding missions. On the evening of Sept. 8, 1967, he and several friends were dining at the local NCO club when an enemy detonated a claymore mine near his table, mortally wounding Sebers and injuring many others. Sergeant Sebers passed away Nov. 7 of that year, as a result of his wounds, leaving behind a wife (now deceased), a son, and two daughters. Sergeant Sebers' military decorations include a Purple Heart, an Air Medal, a National Defense Service Medal with a bronze service star, a World War II Victory Medal, an Asian-Pacific Campaign Medal, an American Campaign Medal, and an Army of Occupation Medal with Germany clasp. He also earned a Navy Occupation Service Medal, a Navy Good Conduct Medal, an Air Force Good Conduct Medal with three bronze loops, and a Vietnam Service Medal with a bronze service star. NSA/CSS Inducts Four Pioneers into the National Cryptologic Museum's Hall of Honor Four pioneers of American cryptology were inducted into the NSA/CSS Hall of Honor Dec 1, 2009 at the National Cryptologic Museum. In his keynote remarks during the induction ceremony, John C. Inglis, Deputy Director, National Security Agency, highlighted the distinguished achievements of each of the inductees: Mr. Richard A. Day, Jar, Ms Minnie M. Kenny, Maj Gen Doyle E. Larson, USAF and Mr. Arthur J. Levenson. Maj Gen Doyle E. Larson, USAF significantly increased the Air Force's role in Command, Control, and Communications Countermeasures. He served as the first commander of the Electronic Security Command, established the Joint Electronic Warfare Center, and saved countless American lives by helping to devise the TEABALL system. The Museum s Hall of Honor, created in 1999, pays tribute to the pioneers and heroes who have made significant and enduring contributions to American cryptology.

21 Vietnam Wall Memorial Calls For Photos WASHINGTON (AFRNS) -- The National Call for Photos, a campaign to gather images of the more than 58,000 men and women whose names are on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, was launched recently at a Newseum event here hosted by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and FedEx Office. FedEx Office will use its locations across the country to assist in gathering the photos. Established in 1979, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial here. The fund's latest initiative is The Education Center at The Wall, an underground facility near the memorial that is being designed to help visitors discover the stories of those named on The Wall and celebrate the values embodied by service members from all of America's wars. Exhibits will include a wall of photographs of people whose names are on The Wall, a selection of the more than 100,000 items that have been left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a timeline of key military events of the Vietnam War and a history of the memorial.

24 11. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: Program Chair Ken Williams shared with us that there are two main social events for FTVA each year, the Spring Fling and the annual Banquet. The Spring Fling this year was the bestattended in a long time, with several active duty members recognized for their contributions while deployed in support of the Global War on Terrorism.

NEWSLETTER CHAIRMAN REPORT: Dennis Rass Rassmussen expanded the newsletter and reported that we are now required to mail the document in an envelope -- which will drive up the shipping cost. Thanks to all for the great input over the year, and special thanks to the chapter reports. 15. CHAPTER REPORTS: Heritage Chapter (San Angelo, TX -- JJ Graham President): 2010 was another busy year for the heritage chapter! While our membership stayed fairly stable small but robust! we found ourselves involved in a wide variety of projects. Here is a sampling of the year s events: a. EC-47 restoration project: NTR no progress made on this; we continue to look for help but are concentrating on other matters right now b. Scrolls: Still looking for a home in the SCIF area; a new group commander has recently moved in Col J. D. Willis and we haven t met with him yet to run our proposal by him; hope to accomplish this in the near future Lt Col Erick Lawson is working to renovate our language training facility, bldg 521 which was a possible option but this facility is now being looked at for a memorial to the crew of BARON 52 (intel and maintainers) o Dale Brandenburg is only member of flight not yet memorialized anywhere; he was an airborne maintenance technician. ALS is once again being taught at Goodfellow and there seems to be a push now to add more NCOA classes to existing NCOA s and possibly standing up a few new schools (SSgt s can no longer sew on TSgt until they attend NCOA) 24
25 New education center construction starts soon; scheduled for opening April 2012; since ALS will be moving here, we are also looking at this as a possible home for the scrolls if a place in the SCIF cannot be located c. Private org status on GAFB: We are now fully vested as a private organization on Goodfellow AFB! Next annual review will be in Jan 2011 keeping our fingers crossed! d. Cressman project: Another task we have taken on is increasing the awareness on base about the buildings dedicated to fallen intel heroes Cressman, Leftwich, Ryan, etc. We have chosen the Cressman dining facility as our next project; Sgt Pete Cressman was a Goodfellow-trained RDF operator who was one of four Det 3, 6994 th crewmembers who lost their lives when their EC-47, BARON 52, was shot down over Vietnam (the last EC-47 to be shot down in Vietnam) e. Sebers family visit: In sep 2006, we dedicated bldg 519 to the memory of TSgt Fred Sebers, a Goodfellow-trained 202 killed in Vietnam; in August 2009 we added an indoor display with Fred s medals, a bio and his picture so everyone could see who Fred was and what he did for his country April: Fred s brother Robert (86-year old navy WWII vet), Fred s daughter Sylene Peterson and granddaughter Sarah Peterson, and Fred s niece Laurie, visited Goodfellow AFB; family stayed in chief s quarters Heritage chapter hosted a dinner in their honor and also rededicated the inside display for the family very emotional for all; Ed Bendinelli gave a nice speech as did Robert and Sylene, to a large gathering of staff and students; the family also visited and spoke with all the 1N4 classes the staff and students were honored to have them Sylene: so many questions have been answered! I'm still astounded that there are others that cared about my dad enough to dedicate a building in his name and even put up the additional awesome items on the wall inside, that what he did was so important, that there are people like [the folks in the heritage chapter] who have gone out of their way to make this happen. 16. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. According to the bylaws of the Freedom Through Vigilance Association, each election within the organization must be overseen by an election committee to manage the process and properly vet the nominees. Election Committee Chair Dennis Rass Rassmussen presented Bob Cope as the candidate for FTVA Treasurer, and Loren Phred Sevening as the candidate for FTVA Secretary. Motion was made, seconded, and approved to accept the new candidates as officially elected into office. 17. OPEN FORUM. a. Who came the farthest? Several states mentioned, including California, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska; but no decision was made as to who actually came the farthest. 25
26 b. Who is the most senior member present? Doug Holden was not present but Chris Cook did share that Doug started service to USAFSS in 1949, and is still very active on the FTVA Board of Directors. Mr Malcolm Murf announced that he started in April 1949 and retired from USAFSS as a SMSgt -- so he is officially the most senior member. 18. There being no further business, motion was made, seconded, and approved to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at The next FTVA Board of Directors meeting will be on October 15, 2010 in the SSFCU Board Room at Remain in Touch! Respectfully Submitted, LOREN R. Phred SEVENING FTVA Secretary 26
