Our first guest is 6 months into his deployment with the 732nd Provost Marshall Office, Detachment 5. Air Force TSgt Lawrence Saiz has made time in his schedule to join us and talk about his current duties as a supervisor in this military police detachment, working to protect military members and civilians in his area. As with so many other units throughout our forces nowadays, the 732nd Provost Marshall Office is made up of a blend of military members, combining the strengths of those in the unit.
Coming up next is our visit with LTC Michael Ude, who is currently deployed with the 225th Engineer Brigade in Iraq, where he heads a team of Army Engineers who assess projects that are needed with Iraqi government and civic leaders, then develop the projects with Iraqi contractors and then conduct quality control checks of those projects that are worked on by Iraqi civilians. This son of an Army Chaplain shares with us information on what it is like to be working with standards and supplies other than those here in the US, in addition to other experiences from his career.
Our third visit will include five members of the 376th Security Forces Squadron who are currently deployed to Manas Air Base in Kyrzgstan. SrA Jonathan Burns, TSgt Patrick Poe, SSgt Mike Alvarez, SrA Larry Thompson and Sgt Marcus Rodriguez are all involved in the security of those with whom they serve as they perform duties at the base gates, escorting people on and off the base, monitoring the flightline and more. It is a 24 hour job, requiring shifts of at least 12 hours from each member and not much time off to attend to personal matters. SrA Jonathan Burns was just recently named Warrior of the Week in recognition of his outstanding service.
Our final visit is with five members of the JBB (Joint Base Balad) First Four Organization, which is a program that is run by volunteers from the deployed members stationed at the base. Coming from several different areas of job responsibility are SrA Jamael Skeete, SrA Danielle Toland, A1C Evan Albeck, SrA Steven Denny and SrA Constance Hames, who were all involved in the last effort of the First Four which was a 5K run to raise money for the Fisher House Foundation. As many of you are aware the Fisher Houses are located at several of the hospitals where our wounded military members are going through care and treatment. These houses allow for families to affordably stay close by and also for some patients who can’t leave the hospital grounds to at least move in with their families while they continue treatments. All of the members who are joining us in this visit have full time jobs in other areas and do this for those with whom they serve.
As always, we are extremely honored to bring you these visits with our Heroes of Freedom. And, we are very honored to have you, our listeners, join us each week.
