Summer 2020 AUSA Salute 3 President's Message

No doubt we are truly living in inter- esting times; face covering requirements, social distancing policies, workforces telecommuting, virtual meetings and conferences.... My staff continues to ask when will we get back to normal. Unfor- tunately, it appears what we are currently experiencing is, for the foreseeable future, the new normal. So now the challenge we face is answering how a service organization with the goal of being the voice for all components of America’s Army, while fostering public support of the Army’s role in national security, and providing professional education and information programs, can do that effectively in this new paradigm. I believe the answer is to soldier on and that is what we’ve done. While all our regularly scheduled events have either been cancelled or postponed, the members of your Board of Directors have not sat idle.

Summer 2020 AUSA Salute 5 Chaplain’s Corner Looking Back at Lessons Learned

By Jim Henderson, Chaplain

Last week visiting our grandson, an Air Force Special Operations captain who was training with the Army Rangers at Fort Benning, gave me pause to look back at my 57 years since I first reported to Fort Benning in 1963 for Advanced ROTC commissioning training. The Post looked pretty much the same except for the new buildings that were built combining the Infantry Center and the Armor Center to become the US Army Maneuver Center. The airborne jump towers looked the same. The old World War II barracks were gone, replaced by motor pools for armor units. The Build- ing 1 headquarters had had a brick face- lift.

This is not the first event that the chapter had to cancel due to the novel corona- virus (COVID-19). In March, national AUSA officials cancelled the Global Force Symposium - one of Huntsville’s largest conventions and visitor revenue generators. The Redstone-Huntsville chapter then cancelled the Rocket City Bash, the chapter’s largest fundraiser of the year which is affiliated with the symposium. While event and fundraiser cancellations have impacted funds and operations, the local chapter continues to work virtually to serve through this crisis. In keeping with their mission to serve the Army family, the Redstone-Huntsville chapter of AUSA has donated $5,000 to Army Emergency Relief. Army Emergency Relief (AER) is the Army’s non-profit organization, providing financial assistance to soldiers through zero-interest loans, grants, and educational scholarships. During the COVID-19 crisis, AER is providing direct support and in- creased readiness to soldiers and their families who have been adversely impacted. More information about AER and their COVID-19 response efforts is available at https://www.armyemergencyrelief.org/covid19/. “We look forward each year to recognizing the history of our nation’s Army and the service and sacrifice of those who continue to serve this country.

From 30 June through 2 July 2020, the US Army held it first “Army National Hir- ing Days”, an Army-wide virtual campaign showcasing the U.S. Army’s 150 full-time and part-time career options, training, benefits and education to inspire individuals to consider military service. The Army had a nationwide goal of hiring 10,000 new full-time and part-time Sol- diers in the federal and state service during the campaign.

Colin Wayne, CEO and Vice President of Redline Steel donates his unique steel designs to a selected organization to remember our Veterans on Memorial Day every year. This year he donated 250 steel American flags to the Redstone Huntsville Chap- ter of AUSA. The flag pattern is called “Freedom isn’t Free”. Chapter Executive VP, Rhonda Sutton, Chapter VP for Reserve & National Guard Programs, John Perry and SFC Chad Perry, Army Recruiter from the Huntsville Re- cruiting Company, were invited to the Redline Steel manufacturing facility to accept the flags. Gary Burgess, VP for Redline Steel, lead our group on a tour of the facility. The custom designed steel flags and hundreds of other unique designs are made at the facility in Tanner, Alabama. Hi-tech laser machines cut the metal to the precise design programmed by Redline Steel designers. 5’X10’ sheets of steel are loaded into the conveyor and the machine cuts the designs and transfers the final product to a station where workers off-load the product and send it to the paint booth. The steel flags that our chapter received are 10”X18” in size. The steel flags are painted either red or black. All the steel flags are made by the local, Veteran owned company. The chapter plans to present the steel flags to chapter members and supporting organizations as special tokens of appreciation. We want to thank Mr. Colin Wayne, Mr. Gary Burgess and all the great folks at Redline Steel for considering our chapter for their generous donation of the “Free- dom isn’t Free” flags. What a great patriotic gift from a great patriotic company.

VID-19. A Win-Win Morale Boost When the governor of Alabama issued the Stay at Home order on March 19, 2020 for Alabama residents, this had a major impact on the community. Schools went online and closed their doors; many restaurants and other businesses were forced to close their doors or modify how they served the community; and S3 Inc. had to modify its operations. The CEO, Jan Smith, directed personnel in headquarters to look into what it would take to have dine-in Fridays for those who were required to be in the home office and were unable to conduct business through tele-working. There were two main goals for this idea: (1) Give a morale boost for employees and reward them for hard work and dedication; and (2) Show appreciation to the local community restaurants that could only provide take- out and delivery. The guidance was to pick a restaurant and get orders from everyone in the headquarters, and then also get input for future weeks to alter the locations to get meals. Employees nominated restaurants, and then on Wednesday, a name was selected from the nominations, and the Friday order was placed and delivered. The team of John Andrews, Josie Garza, and Michelle Reilly made this event hap- pen for 10 weeks. When the orders were placed, the gratitude of the restaurants was overwhelming. On one occasion, a manager was brought to the verge of tears, as she was so thankful for S3, the order, and how the large order would help the business out during this uncertain time. Every time the HR team picked up the order and delivered to the S3 employees, everyone was happy. As a result of the Friday dine-ins, people at the various restaurants were happier, and the S3 employees were appreciative of Jan Smith’s efforts to improve morale during the uncertain time everyone faced. Employees also felt glad that S3 was supporting local businesses that were struggling. Summer 2020 AUSA Salute 13 Raytheon employees in action during pandemic
