2 Committed to Excellence Since 1845 Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 - October 15 Each year, Americans observe Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The observance began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 31 -day period starting on September 15th and ending on October 15th. September 15th was chosen as the starting point for Hispanic Heritage Month because it is the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The 2016 National theme, "Hispanic Americans: Embracing, Enriching, and Enabling America," invites us to reflect on the meaningful legacy of Hispanic Americans and their many contributions to our Nation s cultural framework. America s diversity has always been one of our nation s greatest strengths. Hispanic Americans have long played an integral role in America s rich culture, proud heritage, and the building of this great nation. They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect their multiethnic and multicultural customs. Naval Health Clinic Annapolis observed Hispanic Heritage Month by inviting Kasandra s Culture Center to showcase Hispanic heritage though various dances. These dances represented cultures from Bolivia, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic. National Disability Employment Awareness Month October National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a time to recognize the significant contributions American workers with disabilities make each and every day. The theme for this year is #InclusionWorks. It started back in 1945, when President Harry S. Truman approved a Congressional resolution declaring the first week in October National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. Later in 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month. As the Nation s largest employer, DoD employs thousands of workers with disabilities. DoD has long been a leader in recognizing the strengths and values individuals with disabilities bring into the workforce. Key names of people that loved working in their jobs and chose not to be defined by their disabilities are Justin Whitlock Dart, Jr, Master Chief Petty Officer Carl Brashear, Wilma Mankiller, Lieutenant Colonel David Rozelle, and Staff Sergeant Stacy L. Pearsall. Each person, regardless who they are brings different skills and abilities to a job, and the DoD will continue its commitment to an inclusive Total Force, where all men and women, regardless who they are, can pursue their full potential.

3 The MOSIAC Newsletter National Pharmacy Week October Pharmacy Week acknowledges the invaluable contributions that pharmacists and technicians make to patient care in hospitals, ambulatory care clinics, and other healthcare settings. It is an ideal time for pharmacists to acknowledge and celebrate their achievements in ensuring safe and effective medication use and to share those accomplishments with patients, other health professionals, and the community. On October 18th the Pharmacy Department celebrated Pharmacy Technician Day. Pharmacy Technicians perform important work and carry out vital roles and responsibilities in their pharmacies every day in a wide range of practice settings. The staff of NHCA whishes all Pharmacy Technicians a Happy Pharmacy Technicians Day! National Radiologic Technology Week November 6-12 National Radiologic Technology Week is celebrated annually to recognize the vital work of R.T.s across the nation. The celebration takes place each year during the week that includes Nov. 8 to commemorate the discovery of the x-ray by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Nov. 8, The week-long celebration calls attention to the important role medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals play in patient care and health care safety. The history of radiology time line covers the origins of radiology from 1895 when Wilhelm Roentgen first discovered the X-ray through to the decades of the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. During this period, patients experienced quite invasive tests and knowledge of the dangers of radiation was growing. The 1970s are known as the golden decade of radiology when the CT scanner opened up new opportunities and discoveries which were further developed in the 1980s and 1990s. Each decade is subdivided into areas of interest with focuses on radiology, radiography, radiotherapy, radiobiology, medical physics and diagnostic imaging. Page 3

5 The MOSIAC Newsletter National American Indian Heritage Month November November is National American Indian Heritage Month, honoring American Indians and Alaska Natives. The theme that was selected this month by the American Indian Government Employees is Serving Our Nations. Implementing a day of recognition for Native Americans began back in the early 1900s. Some of the early proponents were Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian, Red Fox James, a Blackfeet Indian, and Reverend Sherman Coolidge, an Arapaho tribal member. In 1986 President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation authorizing American Indian Week and in 1990, President George H. W. Bush proclaimed November as National American Indian Heritage Month. National American Indian Heritage Month is celebrated to recognize native cultures and educate the public about the heritage, history, art, and traditions of the American Indians and Alaskan Natives. Currently, there are 567 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and more than 100 state-recognized tribes across the United States. Each of these tribes has their own unique history, beliefs, governance structure and culture. Federally recognized tribes maintain certain inherent rights of selfgovernment and are entitled to receive certain federal benefits, services, and protections because of their relationship with the United States. Native Americans continue to play a critical role in the United States. In 2014, the nation s population of American Indians and Alaska Natives was 5.4 million, and by the year 2060, it is projected to grow to 10.2 billion. Currently, 26,995 American Indians serve in the Armed Forces, which is about 1.2 percent of the military population, and there were also 140,556 American Indian veterans as of March One of these veterans includes Michael E. Thornton, a retired Navy Lieutenant. Michael Thornton enlisted in the navy in 1967 and was assigned to SEAL Team One. Thornton was awarded the Medal of Honor in He was the first person in more than a century to receive that honor for saving the life of another Medal of Honor recipient. In his speech to receive the Medal of Honor he said I feel honored, but I m not a hero, this medal belongs to every man and woman who died serving their country. I feel honored to represent them. Since the arrival of European settlers in America, American Indians and Alaska Natives have preserved their culture and heritage. A new generation has assumed this charge, and Native Americans like Michael E. Thornton have continued to serve not only their nations but the United States with pride and honor. Dr. Arthur C. Parker Reverend Sherman Coolidge Red Fox James LT Michael Thornton Page 5
6 Committed to Excellence Since th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor Attacks On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US Naval Base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, using bombers, torpedo bombers and midget submarines. On December 8, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a speech, also known as the Infamy Speech to the American citizens, informing them that this happened while the US was in the midst of talks to keep peace. That same day, America entered into World War II. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the attack. On the southern end of Oahu, Pearl Harbor held a 22,000 acre naval base. Admiral Husband E. Kimmel of the Navy and Lt. General Walter C. Short of the Army were in command of the fleet and troops on the ground, respectively. The majority of the Pacific area s military commands were headquartered there because of growing apprehensions regarding an aggressive Japanese presence. Since Emperor Hirohito s Japan wanted to expand in territory and power like some European countries, it needed natural resources, like the oil, and aluminum found in The Netherlands East Indies. Standing in opposition to Japanese conquest of what Japan s leaders termed the Southern Resource Area was the United States of America. The US, Great Britain and The Netherlands had initiated a total embargo of oil and scrap metal to Japan. Unless a new source of oil was opened, the Imperial Japanese Navy would be in drydock within a year and Japanese industries would grind to a halt in months. A plan was developed to cripple the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor to allow time for Japan to seize the resource areas it needed and fortify them to the point that retaking them would cost more lives than the Imperial High Command thought Americans would be willing to pay. The Pearl Harbor attack plan was conceived by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in chief of the IJN. Yamamoto had studied in the United States. He knew his nation lacked the ability to defeat the much larger, resource- and industry-rich country, and he did not share the opinion of many officers that Americans were too weak-willed to fight, but his vociferous arguments against going to war with America were overruled by the High Command. The attack on Pearl Harbor, which was influenced by a successful British attack that used carrier aircraft against an Italian fleet at Taranto, Italy, the previous year, was essentially a last best-hope fo Japanese success in the Pacific. Early in the morning on December 7, more than 350 Japanese planes attacked about 33 American ships on orders of Vice-Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. America sustained a loss of nearly 170 aircraft destroyed and 160 damaged that morning, as well as three ships destroyed and 16 damaged. Three thousand seven hundred Americans lost their lives, including 68 civilians. The cost to the Japanese was 29 aircraft, five midget submarines, and 130 service personnel, all but one of whom was killed in action. The Pearl Harbor memorial, otherwise known as the USS Arizona Memorial, is a National Monument located at the site of the sunken battleship USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Commemorating the 1,177 crewman who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor, it is a tribute to World War II valor in the Pacific. The Mosaic Newsletter is always looking for articles.
