October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The awareness campaign engages the Navy community in preventing domestic violence by supporting their colleagues, neighbors and friends in using resources, and by creating partnerships among leadership, social service agencies, schools, and faith-based communities, civic organizations and law enforcement agencies to address domestic violence.
At Joint Expeditionary Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story we train like we fight!
A small group of former #USSSumter (LST-1181) Sailors and their families, and the Virginia Patriot Guard Riders gathered for a wreath-laying ceremony on Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story on July 30 to commemorate three USS Sumter Sailors who died on 30 July 1992 when they were overcome by carbon dioxide fumes.
The Sailors remembered were:
Petty Officer 3rd Class James Ryan, Virginia Beach native
Fireman Daniel Delia, Sparta, Michigan native
Fireman Donald Bellows, Hot, Michigan native
“These three men were taken from us and their family’s way too soon,” said Engineman Senior Chief William Gardner, event organizer and Sumter Sailor.
“We all try to picture what they would have become, what rank they could have held, and where their work ethics would have taken them. Good, bad, or tragic we are the Sumter.”
