In 2009, Dr. Howard worked as a consultant with the US-Afghanistan Health Initiative. In September of 2009, Dr. How- ard was again appointed NIOSH Director in the Barak Obama Ad- ministration, and was reappointed in 2015.

WEISS Born, raised and educated in Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Mitchell R. Weiss has devoted his life to working for the needs of people in his com- munity. Known as “Mitch” by investigators from the public and private sector and citizens from all walks of life in the great state of New York, Weiss serves as a Clergy/Community Liaison for the First Deputy Police Commissioner and Chief of the Department of the NYPD. Upon joining SPI in 2015, he told SPIONLINE that his daily events consists of “meeting different community and religious leaders around the city: “As once said to me by a former Police official, without these three steps (Police, Community, Clergy) no concept will work. These are the three powerful groups of any city.” Weiss started his career in health care, working for Blue Cross and Blue Shield in the implementation of New York State’s uninsured programs in Harlem. He went on to do consulting on governmental and political affairs for the child care agency Little Flower Children Services. A de- On July 8, 2016 at the Feast of Our Lady of vout Catholic, he became the Director of Development for the Mt. Carmel/San Paolino Di Nola, Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Williamsburg. Celebrat- in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY ing the Italian-American community is his passion: “Many years ago, I was given permission by Commissioner Ray Kelly to promote the good name of Lt. Det. Giuseppe (Joe) Petrosino, the only NYPD officer ever killed in the line of duty on foreign soil in 1909, while working on a Ma- fia case,” he told SPIONLINE. Lt. Det. Petrosino was the first Italian-American detective in the City of New York, and considered to be the NYPD’s “secret weapon” in taking down organized crime in New York City and Palermo. In 2011, Mitchell Weiss was part of a delegation of select New York law enforcement officials and then-councilmember Pe- ter F. Vallone Jr., chair of the Public Safety Committee, who trav- eled to Sicily and went to the site where Lt. Det. Petrosino was killed. They met with anti-Mafia prosecutors, members of the Pa- lermo Council and local Italian law enforcement officials. Leonardo DiCaprio is slated to play the heroic detective in a biopic produced by Paramount Studios. Mitchell Weiss is a long-time member of the Lt. Det. Joe Petrosino Association in America. In 2010, he re- ceived the title of Cavalieri from Italy’s then-President Giorgio Na- politano. Mitchell R. Weiss is also a board member of the American Academy of Professional Law Enforcement (AAPLE) and very involved in numerous organizations in the field of Law Enforcement, or with respect to cultural diversity, race relations, health care as well as committees for the disabled. 6 61st Anniversary edition | September 28, 2017 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FRIEND MITCHELL WEISS LIAISON TO CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT AT NYPD ON YOUR RECEIPT OF THE SPI LIAISON AWARD & TO ALL THIS EVENING’S DISTINGUISHED HONOREES DR. JOHN HOWARD CAPT. FLORENT GROBERG & THE COMBAT WOUNDED VETERANS OF AMERICA FROM: MARY ANN & JOSEPH MATTONE 7 61st Anniversary edition | September 28, 2017 2017 SPI HONOR AWARD US ARMY Capt. (Ret.) FLORENT GROBERG The French-born Capt. Florent Groberg was a criminal justice major before joining the U.S. Army in 2008. In 2012, while serving in Afghanistan, Groberg’s heroic actions saved the lives of several soldiers. In 2015, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama, the United States of America's highest personal military decoration. "Flo" Groberg was born in Poissy, France, on May 8, 1983. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2001, attended the University of Mary- land, College Park (UMD), and competed in varsity track and cross country. Groberg entered the Army in July 2008 and, the following year, deployed to Afghanistan as part of Task Force Lethal, with responsibil- ity for the Pech River Valley in Af- ghanistan's Kunar Province. Promoted to captain in July 2012, Groberg experienced “the worst day” on August 8 of that year, when he tackled a suicide bomber who detonated his device, sending Groberg flying 15 to 20 feet away. Groberg’s heroic actions saved the lives of nearly two dozen soldiers and officials. But a second suicide bomber, who was hidden behind a small structure, instantly detonated his device, too; according to the Army, he detonated prematurely because of Groberg's actions to stop the first bomber. Three U.S. military personnel and a U.S. Foreign Service Officer from the U.S. Agency for International Development were killed, and several others were injured. As a result of his actions, Groberg sustained the loss of 45 to 50 percent of his left calf muscle with significant nerve damage, a blown eardrum, and a mild traumatic brain injury. He spent his recovery at Walter Reed National Military Med- ical Center from August 2012 through May 2015, and was medically retired from Company B Warriors, Warrior Transition Battalion, as a captain, in July 2015. Groberg told NPR that he was only reacting to the situation, and that he struggles with why he survived that day and oth- ers did not: “We all fought those demons of, why not me? In the end, you know, it's combat.

Understanding the history of military service by immigrants, as well as the legal barriers to the enlistment of skilled foreign-born residents, leads us to clear policy recommendations for President Trump and Congress to consider. Today, approximately 40,000 immigrants serve in the armed forces, and approximately 5,000 noncitizens enlist each year. As of 2016, about 511,000 veterans were foreign-born. Throughout U.S. history, many immigrants have served with distinction and are among those who have received the highest military honors. More than 20 percent of Medal of Honor recipients are immigrants. Going forward, the net growth in the U.S. population of 18- to 29-year-olds — the segment of the population most likely to enlist — will come entirely from immigrants and the children of immigrants. With the economy having recovered from the recession of the late 2000s, for the military to recruit young people successfully, each military branch must have access to the largest potential pool of qualified candidates.

  • Clinton Romesha Red Platoon Pdf
    Clinton romesha red platoon pdf Continue NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The only comprehensive, first-hand account of the fourteen-hour shootout at the Battle of Keating Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesh, for Black Hawk Down readers Mark Bowden and Lonely Survivor Marcus Luttrell. It's no better. For us, this phrase nailed down one of the basic truths, perhaps even an important truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so evident to every soldier who ever set foot in this place, that the very name - Keating - became a kind of backhand joke. In 2009, Clinton Romesh of the Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Squad were preparing to close Keating's command post, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the U.S. military in Nuristan and Kunar in hopes of preventing the Taliban from moving freely between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to admit what the people on earth knew at once: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant small attacks, the Taliban finally decided to abandon everything they had in Keating. The ensuing fourteen-hour battle - and ultimately victory - cost eight men their lives. The Red Platoon is a thrilling first-hand account of the Battle of Keating, said Romesh, who led both the outpost's defense and counterattacks that drove the Taliban back behind the wire and received the Medal of Honor for their actions.

  • Nfap Policy Brief » May 2020
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF» MAY 2020 MILITARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND SACRIFICES OF IMMIGRANTS BY STUART ANDERSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In his final speech as president, Ronald Reagan said, “We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people – our strength – from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation. While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams. We create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” By providing opportunity, America has given much to immigrants. Throughout America’s history, immigrants have given much in return. Many immigrants have sacrificed their lives while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. In researching the past and present contributions of immigrants to America’s military, this report from the National Foundation for American Policy found: - During service in America’s wars and conflicts, 22% of the recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor have been immigrants. Recent immigrant Medal of Honor recipients include Florent Groberg (born in France), Alfred Rascon (born in Mexico), Tibor Rubin (born in Hungary) and Leslie Sabo Jr.
