GROTON, Conn. - Los
Angeles-class attack sub-
marine USS Springfield
(SSN 761) returned to
Naval Submarine Base
New London Nov. 10 fol-
lowing a regularly sched-
uled six-month deploy-
ment.
Springfield, which
departed for deploy-
ment, May 11, conducted
operations in the Central
Command area of respon-
sibility, supporting nation-
al security interests and
maritime security opera-
tions.
I am very proud of the
performance of my crew
on this deployment,
said Commander Enrique
Panlilio, commander,
Springfield. Springfield
met every challenge suc-
cessfully and demonstrat-
ed the traditional capabil-
ity of our submarines to
conduct long-range inde-
pendent operations with
minimal logistic support
and provide situational
awareness around the
world for our operational
commanders.
We also demonstrated
the integrated, interna-
tional nature of our cur-
rent maritime strategy by
working with our strike
groups and allied navies
to foster cooperation and
coordinated training and
undertakings, Panlilio
said.
He also added that the
professional development
of his officers and crew
was enhanced during the
deployment.
My time in subma-
rines is almost over.

Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. - A
Naval Submarine Base
New London Sailor reflect-
ed on the importance of
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, and
his familys service to the
country and their descen-
dant connection with Frank
Woodruff Buckles, who
before his death in February
2011, was the last living
World War I veteran.
Lieutenant Robert
Buckles assigned to the
Naval Submarine Learning
Center, Naval Submarine
Base New London, is related
to Frank Woodruff Buckles
through lineage dating back
to 1719. Historians in their
family conducted genealogy
research, certified by the
Library of Congress, dating
back nearly 300 years when
the first Buckles arrived in
the United States.
The genealogy track-
ing places the first Buckles
to enter the United States
when Robert Buckles, son
of a wealthy English land-
lord, left England in 1719 for
America on a vessel headed
for the land of promise. The
ships crew helped Robert
Buckles leave England as a
stowaway.
The crew barreled him
up in a hogshead of sand,
and put him in the hold
of the ship. When officers
came on board and searched
the ship, turning over the
barrel on the top of the one
in which young Robert was
concealed they declared no
one could be further down
that barrel and deemed
the ship safe to sail, said
Buckles.
If it not for Robert Buckles,
born in May 1702, the first
descendant to arrive in
America as a stowaway, at
the age of 17, aboard a sail-
ing vessel headed toward
America, follow-on gen-
erations of Buckles would
not exist. Because of his
brave belief in a better life in
America, his direct descen-
dants settled in Tennessee,
Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and the
great west.
Looking through the his-
torical report on Buckles
linage, a calling for ser-
vice is interwoven like the
red, white and blue of our
flag. Many of these descen-
dants to arrive in America
would serve in every major
military conflict from the
American Revolutionary
War to the American Civil
War to World War I and II,
Korean War, Vietnam War
and to present-day conflicts,
all entering the service at
a young age. In fact, the
majority to answer the call
to serve in our military all
did so before their 20th
birthday.
Im honored to share the
name of a very important
person in my familys lin-
age, Robert Buckles who
was the first descendant
to arrive in America, said
Buckles, who entered the
U.S. Navy just before his
19th birthday. If it werent
for him I wouldnt be here
today.
Buckles said his inter-
est in serving in the Navy
stemmed from that of
his uncle, Army Captain
Richard L. Buckles, who
was killed in the Vietnam
War in 1969.
He was on his second
tour and earned the Silver
Star and Purple Heart for his
action. He was a 1st Infantry
company commander and
was fatally wounded while
coming to the aid of one of
his wounded soldiers, said
Buckles.
Family members have
told Buckles he resembles
his uncle and he ponders
how their lives have mir-
rored one another.
I often think of how I
relate to him, now that I
have a wife, children, and
am the same rank, said
Buckles.
This calling to serve our
country was evident when
Frank Buckles chose to
fight in World War I.
Frank Buckles entered
the service at 16 enlist-
ing in the Army Aug. 14,
1917, after lying to several
recruiters about his age.
Robert Buckles and Frank
Buckles, while separated
by generations both want-
ed the same thing - to
answer the call of oppor-
tunity - one wanted an
opportunity to start a new
life in a new world, and
the other wanted to serve
his country.
One of the other descen-
dants of the Buckles clan
who fought for this coun-
try was Milton Abraham
Buckles, who was born in
June 1843. He fought in
the Civil War and through
his diaries the Buckles
learned about his service
to the nation during the
Civil War and his life.
A thousand will march
into danger where there
is a chance for them, say
one out of ten, and never
even think of asking Gods
protection arm to rest over
them, said Milton Buckles,
who at the time of his diary
entry on Feb. 15, 1865,
had six months remaining
of his enlistment.
Milton Buckles diary
reflections from 146 years
ago are reflective of todays
Sailors, soldiers, airmen
and Marines serving our
country.
We have high hopes of
seeing home and the loved
ones who have so long
patiently endured trial
and hardship for ours and
their countrys sake. We
have endured and suffered
much during the time we
have been in the war, but
no man now regrets what
has passed, but all are
glad to have done some-
thing for their country.
Veterans Day began as
Armistice Day to mark the
victorious end of World
War I, when the main
hostilities were silenced at
the 11th hour of the 11th
day of the 11th month in
1918. Congress modified
the name from Armistice
Day to Veterans Day Nov.
8, 1964.

her passion for recogniz-
ing veterans service.
I have a passion for
supporting the military
and their families, said
Hanson.
The Charles Barnum
Elementary School chorus
also performed during the
tribute singing Thank a
Vet. One verse in their
song reflects the mean-
ing of Veterans Day, if
you cherish your freedom
and love America, thank
a vet.
At various other
schools in the region,
Naval Submarine Base
New London Sailors
visited with students at
Pleasant Valley, Mary

Middle School.
Paul Kadri, superin-
tendent, Groton Public
Schools also attended
the Elementary Schools
tribute and congratu-
lated the school for
remembering veterans
sacrifices to defend lib-
erty especially since

have a parent serving in
the military.
The school has the
highest concentration of
military families, nearly
90 percent of the chil-
dren have at least one
parent serving in the
military, said Kadri.
In addition to honoring
veterans, Charles Barnum
Elementary School had
other reasons to celebrate.
Kadri emphasized that for
a second year in a row,
the school has received

ed audience that veter-
ans are also their moth-
ers and fathers. District-
wide over 20 percent of
the children have parents
that serve in the military,
Kadri said.
U.S. Coast Guard
Storekeeper Richard
Harris, company chief
assigned to U.S. Coast
Guard Academy said

TOBACCO FACTS
Chewing tobacco is NOT a safe alternative to
cigarettes, it can be just as addictive as cigarette
smoking.
Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer. Breathing
in secondhand smoke at home or work increases
your chance of getting lung cancer by 20-30%.
The average smoker (1 1/2 packs/day) spends about
$3100.00 per year on cigarettes. Thats an average
of $258.33 per month. Is this your car payment?

By MCSA Gabriel Bevan
GROTON, Conn. The sun breaks
through the overcast skies and the
cold, crisp wind blows of the River
Thames unfurling the colorful array
of flags that reverently line the outer
edges of the United States National
Submarine Memorial East in Groton,
Conn. Veterans from WWII until now
gather to pay their respects to the
life and legacy of the brave men and
women who have so valiantly done
our nations work, many even paying
with their lives.
On Friday the United States
Submarine Veterans of WWII
(SUBVETS) with the support of
Naval Submarine Base New London
(SUBASE) put on their annual memo-
rial service at the SUBVETS memo-
rial.
The service began with the parad-
ing of the colors and the Pledge of
Allegiance by SUBVETS Color Guard
and SUBVETS Sea Scouts. Chaplain
Tom Russell III, retired submariner,
led the opening invocation thanking
God for the sacrifice of those who
have given their lives to defend the
United States.
Retired Brigadier General Joseph
Perkins spoke about the great sacri-
fices of American service members
and their contributions to not only
the defense of the United States but
also defending American interests
around the world.
According to Perkins Veterans Day
is a holiday of utmost importance.
Today we come together as a
nation to honor all veterans, both
active and retired, of all wars, said
Perkins. Your country thanks you
more than you know.
We must never forget those whove
died for this nation, said Perkins.

exactly what the Central
Command commander
needed from a front-line
submarine. The ship has
returned from distant seas
after providing sustained
superior performance in
our global missions, said
Green. This ship and her
crew have everything to
be proud of and it is
extremely gratifying to
have her back home with
us today.
Joleen Westrich,
Springfield ombudsman
for nearly three years dis-
cussed the critical support
role both the ombudsman
and the families perform
while their spouses are
deployed.
Our families worked
hard to remain strong
while our Sailors are
deployed. Each and every
day we stood together
waiting for this home-
coming. It is wonderful
seeing everyone reunit-
ed, said Westrich.
As a tribute to Military
Family Appreciation
Month the president
issued a proclamation
Nov. 1 emphasizing the
contributions families
bestow to the nation.
A portion of the
Proclamation reads,
They serve with hero-
ism in their homes and
neighborhoods while
they are without the com-
fort of having loved ones
nearby. Day after day,
week after week, spouses
resolutely accomplish the
work of two parents; sons
and daughters diligently
keep up with homework
and activities.
Westrich added that
during the six-month
deployment four children
were born. Machinists
Mate 1st Class Paul Rich,
assigned to Springfield
held his three-month old
son for the first time upon
returning from deploy-
ment.
Crystal Clark, Springfield
Family Readiness Group,
discussed the team effort
required by all to prepare
both the crew and the fam-
ilies for the homecoming.
Its very important
that the families and the
crew members have a
great support system. We
are lucky that the Navy
and the Command Team
of the Springfield have
given the family readi-
ness group the tools and
the know how to help
support our families dur-
ing tough times, said
Clark. Our success was
also made possible by
the wonderful wives and
families on board who
worked hard to support
the boats mission and
make this deployment a
successful one. It is great
to be able to share this
experience with so many
wonderful people.
The submarine, built
by General Dynamics
Electric Boat Division,
is the 47th Los Angeles
class submarine delivered
to the Navy. The subma-
rines crew compliment
includes 15 officers and
120 enlisted Sailors.

Congressman Joseph
Courtney(2nd-CT) said,
Our veterans are our
proudest and finest citi-
zens.
After the speeches
had been said Machinist
Mate Master Chief(SS)
Kerry Ming, chief of the
Submarine Force Library
and Museum, led in the
tolling of the boats. The
tolling of the boats has
been a tradition in the sub-
marine community since
WW II in which honors
are given to the boats and
men lost in the submarine
force while in conflict.
Following the tolling
of the boats, members of
SUBVETS laid a wreath at
the foot of the SUBVETS
memorial wall. The wall
has engraved on it the
names of the submari-
ners who were killed in
conflicts during WW II.
As the ceremony con-
cluded Taps was played
and rifle volleys were
fired. The Benediction was
given and the SUBVETS
WW II Creed and Sailors
Creed were said.
The service was very
moving and it inspired
a great deal of pride in
my Naval service, said
Electronics Technician
Third Class Jeremy Nave,
who was attending the
memorial for the first
time. It was humbling
to be in the presence of
so many men who really
were legacies in the sub-
marine community.

SUBVETS Memorial ...
light of Veterans Day
on Nov. 11.
At the start of the
event, fifth graders led
attendees in the Pledge
of Allegiance and sang
the National Anthem.
Wilfred G. Nelson,
WW II vet and retired
submariner, was the
guest speaker at the
breakfast. Nelson spoke
on his experiences dur-
ing his naval service
during WWII, and how
important the communi-
ties youth was to him.
Its always a pleasure
to speak with young peo-
ple, said Nelson. You
are the future of this
great nation.
Nelson spent 22 years
of active service in the
Navy including serving
aboard the USS Nautilus,
the Navys first nucle-
ar-powered submarine.
Following his retirement,
he went on to work 23
years at Electric Boat
Company before retiring
as an electrician.
As the breakfast con-
tinued the schools prin-
cipal asked every active
duty member and retired
veteran to introduce
themselves and speak
a few words about any
conflicts or combat that
they may have been
involved in.
At the conclusion of
the event, fourth and
fifth graders stood and
signed the words of
God Bless America.

Annual Caring and
Sharing drive underway
By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg
Commander, Submarine Group 2
Public Affairs
GROTON, Conn. -
Commander, Submarine
Group (CSG) 2 and
Naval Submarine Base
New London commands
are in their second week
of collecting volun-
tary food and monetary
donations for the annual
Caring and Sharing pro-
gram that assists Sailors
and their families in
need of assistance this
holiday season.
The Caring and Sharing
program was launched in
the early 1990s. Sailors
assigned to CSG 2 and
commands attached to
Naval Submarine Base
New London are provid-
ing voluntary support
for this annual drive,
which will run through
Dec. 14.
Every day, except for
Monday, volunteers will
stand a voluntary watch
from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
at the Navy Exchange
and Commissary to col-
lect donations for this
cause. The food collect-
ed will be placed into
gift boxes and presented
to Sailors and their fam-
ilies who have requested
assistance.
Last year, we helped
more than 400 military
families stationed in
New London during the
holiday season, said
Legalman 2nd Class Ru
Li, Caring and Sharing
coordinator assigned to
Commander, Submarine
Group 2, who has volun-
teered with the program
since 2008.
According to Li, the
400 military families
assisted last year and
in previous years ben-
efitted from the involve-
ment of the Groton U.S.
Submarine Veterans
(SUBVETS), who have
consistently supported
the annual Caring and
Sharing program.
The U.S. SUBVETS
have been active sup-
porters of the Caring and
Sharing program donat-
ing at least $5,000 to
the program with funds
left over from their
Thanksgiving program.
In the last three years the
SUBVETS have donat-
ed $15,000 to the local
program and $15,000 to
the National Program,
said John Carcioppolo,
Groton SUBVETS base
commander, who was
the chief of the boat
aboard USS Dallas (SSN
700) when the program
was first launched.
Li added that with the
support from the U.S.
SUBVETS, local military
community, and others,
the Caring and Sharing
Program is not just a
possibility, but a prom-
ise to those seeking
assistance.
The food boxes con-
tain all of the fixings
for a Thanksgiving meal
complete with a turkey;
and the Christmas boxes
contain a ham with an
assortment of fixings,
said Li.
Sonar Techni ci an
Submarines 2nd Class
(SS) Antwan Haywood
also assists with the pro-
gram and explains his
desire to offer his sup-
port.
Its nice to be able to
help shipmates celebrate
with their own fami-
lies by alleviating some
financial stress that the
season can bring, said
Haywood, who is pres-
ently assigned to CSG 2.
C o m m a n d e r ,
Submarine Group 2s
Command Master Chief
(SS) Wesley Koshoffer
discusses the importance
of this annual drive and
assisting those in need,
especially during the
holidays.
This is the ultimate
self help program, ship-
mates helping ship-
mates, Navy Families
lending a helping hand.
For some Navy Families
a full blown Holiday
Feast just doesnt make
the cut on the needs
vs. wants list, said
Koshoffer. This pro-
gram offers a helping
hand to those who would
like to have a very nice
Holiday meal and draws
on our spirit of giving. I
am proud of both those
who support and donate
to the program as well
as those who request the
help so they can provide
a memorable experience
and meal for their fam-
ily.
Li added that each food
box is direct proportion
with the family. A fam-
ily of four will receive
one gift box, whereas a
family of six will receive
two gift boxes.
Other recipients of the
gift boxes include sur-
viving spouses of service
members who live in the
area and have expressed
a need through the
SUBASE New Londons
Fleet and Family Support
Center.
Other beneficiaries
of the food boxes are
relief organizations in
the area.
Additional donations
not included in the gift
boxes are provided to
the Navy Marine Corps
Relief food locker and
local food bank in New
London County, said
Li. I think this program
is a morale booster for
servicemembers, their
families stationed in this
area and the community
at large.
The commands, in
addition to CSG 2, par-
ticipating in this years
Caring and Sharing
program include Naval
Submarine School, Navy
Information Operations
Detachment Groton,
New London Submarine
Base Ambulatory Care
Center, Naval Submarine
Support Facility, and
Navy Exchange and
the Commissary New
London.
This year, the local
Groton Girl Scout
Chapter 63220 will also
assist in preparing the
gift boxes.

Its nice to be able to help
shipmates celebrate with their
own families by alleviating
some financial stress that the
season can bring.
