admiral john b. hayes award for unit excellence Crew of CGC Bertholf

His year’s Winner of tHe admiral joHn b. Hayes aWard for Unit Excellence is the crew of the Cutter Bertholf, homeported in Alameda, , which has Tdemonstrated the highest level of professionalism in carrying out its vital national security mission.

The Cutter Bertholf is the vanguard of the Coast Guard’s persistent, capable and expanding reach of maritime governance in the Pacific. In 2012, the crew began with an intensive maintenance and training period in preparation for a 144-day deployment. The crew adopted new techniques for efficiency in train- ing, which were ultimately adopted as best practices, establishing standards for sustained fleet mainte- nance models.

coast guard foundation 2013 6 pacific area awards dinner The Bertholf also served as a testing and evaluation platform for understanding the Coast Guard’s capabilities and reach in offshore and coastal operating areas. Crew members were central in determining the best of three competing designs. In addition to these testing successes, the Bertholf participated in a daring search and rescue operation in a deep Pacific gale to rescue two badly injured crewmembers of a British sailboat. The Bertholf safely negotiated 20- to 25-foot seas for more than 400 nautical miles, averaging a remarkable 18 to 20 knots. Once on scene, the Bertholf coordinated with two C-130s from Air Station Sacramento, and a helicopter from Air Station San Diego, as well as onshore medical personnel, to safely retrieve the wounded individuals from the sailboat. The rescue proved on the world’s stage the type of heroism and essential services the brave men and women of the Coast Guard provide on a daily basis, risking their lives to save others. Congratulations to the crew of the Bertholf on the Admiral John B. Hayes Award.

admiral james s. gracey award for professional excellence AMT1 Stephen J. Chopek

etty officer stepHen j. cHopek, a first class aviation maintenance technician sta- tioned in Kodiak, Alaska, is the 2013 winner of the Admiral James S. Gracey Award Pfor Professional Excellence in recognition of his superior performance of duty. Chopek embodies the Coast Guard’s core values of honor, respect and devotion duty, consistently showcasing excellence and professionalism in all aspects of his life, both on and off duty. Chopek is being recognized for his on-duty work during a search and rescue mission when the heli- copter he was onboard experienced a mechanical emergency, requiring immediately landing. The heli- copter’s tail rotor endured high oil temperatures, which, if not addressed right away, would cause the aircraft to lose control. Chopek led the crew through emergency landing procedures, preparing for the possibility of an at-sea aMt1 stephen J. chopek ditching, and ensured a mayday call was transmitted with an accurate location. With Chopek’s help, the pilots landed safely among Kodiak’s mountainous terrain. As if being forced to make an emergency landing weren’t dangerous enough, once on land, Chopek noticed a number of bears near the helicopter’s landing zone. The crew quickly vacated the helicopter and made its way to shore, where a Coast Guard small boat met them and took them to safety. In addition to these actions, Chopek also serves as the chairman of Air Station Kodiak’s Enlisted Flight Examining Board, where he conducted 18 flight mechanic and basic aircrew instructor flights, and 12 ground phase sessions with aspiring helicopter crew members. In his personal life, Chopek further embodies the Coast Guard’s core values. He is a coach for the Kodiak Football League, where he led fundraising efforts to help buy equipment for those children who continued on next page

The team, consisting of TBMCS Terrell Horne III, MK2 Jonathan D’Arcy, BM2 Michael I. Walker, and FS2 Brandon Langdon, demonstrated truly heroic actions the night of December 2, 2012, dur- ing a maritime law enforcement case.

During early morning hours, the Halibut noticed a sus- picious unlit vessel among the rock shoreline of Santa Cruz Island, so the cutter deployed the small boat crew to investi- gate. As the small boat crew approached the unlit vessel and identified themselves as law enforcement, the suspicious boat ignored commands to stop and charged directly at the Coast Guard boat, crashing into them. Prior to the collision, BM2 Walker had maneuvered the small boat to minimize the crash. MK2 D’Arcy, demonstrating superb composure and concentration, fired multiple rounds at

Once it became obvious that a collision was unavoidable, BMCS Horne disregarded his own personal safety and pushed BM2 Walker from the path of the illegal boat. FS2 Langdon and BMCS Horne were both thrown from the boat into the water, with Horne suffering griev- ous injuries in the process. The crew’s training kicked in, and MK2 D’Arcy shifted into his role of EMT, exhibiting remarkable skill and professionalism while he treated Horne. Despite the small boat being severely damaged in the crash, BM2 Walker was able to pilot the boat back to the Halibut, ensuring the best chances of a medical evacua- tion for BMCS Horne. MK2 D’Arcy’s and FS2 Langdon’s ardent first aid efforts kept BMCS Horne alive during this transport, but tragically, BMCS Horne succumbed to his injuries as the Halibut arrived in Port Hueneme. These crew- men, despite immense personal danger and grave circumstances displayed fortitude and dedication dur- ing an exceptionally difficult case.

coast guard foundation 2013 9 pacific area awards dinner in lovinG memory  captain carlton e. “Gene” russell, uscGr (ret.) – 

t was with a heavy heart that the Coast Guard Foundation said goodbye to one of its founding fathers and most ardent supporters recently. CAPT Carlton E. “Gene” Russell, IUSCGR (Ret.), passed away on April 9 in his hometown of Costa Mesa, California. Gene, who was a partner at the law firm Russell, Mirkovich & Morrow, served as a director of the Foundation from 1984 to 2010, after which he was conferred Trustee Emeritus status. Gene was with the Foundation as it transformed from the Coast Guard Academy Foundation, which served the cadets of the Coast Guard Academy, to the Coast Guard Foundation. During Gene’s tenure the Foundation expanded its mission to serve the enlisted corps and their families. CAPT Russell was instrumental in getting the Coast Guard Foundation’s Southern Cali- fornia Scholarship Golf Tournament off the ground, and led the organizing efforts for many years. Since its inception in 1992, the tournament has raised $813,000 for scholarship funds for the children of enlisted Coast Guard members. In addition he supported the Pacific Area Awards Dinner, the Family Disaster Relief Fund, and other Foundation initiatives. Gene graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1952. After several years of sea duty in the Coast Guard, he received his Juris Doctorate, with Honors, from George Washington University Law School, where served as Legislation Editor of the George Washington University Law Review, Captain of the National Moot Court Team and was elected to Order of Coif. Following an assignment as legal officer for the 11th Coast Guard District in Long Beach, California, Gene returned to sea until 1965, when he entered the private practice of law. He remained in the Coast Guard Reserves, retiring as a Captain.

What is the coast guard foundation?

The Coast Guard Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1969. It was initially created to provide funds for academic, athletic, and morale needs of the Coast Guard Academy and its cadets which were not covered by federal operational funding. In 1986, the Foundation expanded its charter to support projects that enhance the education, welfare and morale of all Coast Guard members and their families. The Foundation is governed by a Board of 100 Trustees from all parts of the country. The Trustees elect from their members a 30-person Board of Directors to oversee the management of the Foundation. Located in Stonington, Connecticut, the Foundation employs a staff of 12 civilians responsible for meeting the Foundation’s objectives and working closely with the Coast Guard on all issues.

What does the coast guard foundation do?

The Coast Guard Foundation is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of the men and women of the Coast Guard and their families. The Coast Guard Foundation provides education, support and relief for the brave men and women, who enforce maritime law, protect our homeland and preserve the environment. The Coast Guard Foundation aims to strengthen their service to our nation by encouraging them to excel on- and off-duty. The Foundation supports numerous programs and projects through donations from individuals, corporations and through grants and special fundraising events. The Foundation also supports academic, athletic, and leadership excellence for cadets at the Academy; provides college scholarships to dependents of enlisted personnel; funds recreational and family-oriented facilities; and supports educational and morale programs at bases, on cutters around the nation; as well as hundreds of smaller projects.
