By Jim Dresbach Pentagram Staff Writer On the 2015 National Day of Prayer, Navy Yard shooting survivor Jennifer Bennett explained her relationship with the power of spiritual conver- sation at the 9th Annual Military and Civilian Chaplain Interagency Conference held at the Fort Myer Officers’ Club May 7. Bennett, a featured speaker at the conference, was critically wounded Sept. 16, 2013, and after sheltering in place, she and a number of her co- workers began to reach out to God for others. “We started to pray. We first prayed for the shooter [Aaron Alexis]. Then we prayed for the shooter’s mother. That was very heartbreaking,” Bennett said as her voice cracked during a question-and- answer session with an audience that numbered close to 100 military and civilian chaplains. Bennett, deputy chief of staff, Naval Sea Systems Command, gave a first-hand account of her involvement of the Navy Yard incident, how her faith aided in her perseverance and her emotional, heartfelt appreciation of Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region and the U.S. Army Military District of Washington’s chaplaincy were all parts of her address. “You each – and each of you – are the ones who are called. You are God’s lion chasers,” Bennett said of the entire con- gregation of chaplains. “Lion chasers are the By Guv Callahan Pentagram Staff Writer Army spouse Corie Weathers was named 2015 Military Spouse of the Year during the 8th Annual Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year ceremony May 8 on the Fort Myer portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

The abrupt ending of the play OurAmerican Cousin on April 14, 1865,marked the beginning of the most sen-sationalized real life drama in Americanhistory and politics— the assassinationof President Abraham Lincoln.Grant Hall, located on the FortMcNair

portion of Joint Base Myer-HendersonHall, is the building where the Maythrough June 1865 military tribunal forthe eight Lincoln assassination conspira-tors took place. This courtroom, locatedon the third floor of Grant Hall, openedits doors May 9 for an open house inobservance of the trial’s 150th anniversary.Authors and Lincoln assassination

expertsMichaelW. Kauffman and John E.Elliott provided briefings about the trial.Guests were first seated in the cramped

courtroom and given an overview of the

trial, then taken outside to the tenniscourts, where four of the co-conspiratorswere hanged and originally buried.Four of the co-conspirators were sen-

tenced to death at the trial June 30, 1865,in what was then known as theWashingtonFederal Penitentiary and hanged shortlyafter. They were Lewis Powell, David E.Herold, George A. Atzerodt and the firstwoman hanged by the federal government,Mary E. Surratt.Michael O’Laughlen, Samuel Arnold

and Dr. Samuel Mudd were given lifeterms and Edmund Spangler received asix-year sentence for their involvement inthe conspiracy. In 1869 President AndrewJohnson pardoned Arnold, Mudd andSpangler. O’Laughlen died of yellow feverin 1867 while still in prison.Though a tennis court now exists

– chaplains are the work-horses of the military.“A chaplain’s work

doesn’t occur for just anhour. You don’t call themon site for just an hour; you

bring them on for days anddays and days, and not justat the event, but for days andweeks and the months thatfollow,” said JFHQ-NCR/MDWDeputyCommander

EgonHawrylak during wel-coming remarks.An integral part of the

day-long affair was thepanel discussions, wherefellow chaplains and firstresponders were invitedto ask questions and makecomments. In some cases,the questions were hardhitting like when onewritten inquiry asked ifanyone of faith reachedout to the shooter’s family.“The fact that we can

ask those questions helpsus address the small thingswhich helps us tackle thebig things,” said NavyCmdr. Michael Pumphreyof the JFHQ-NCR/MDWCommand Chaplain’sOffice and moderator ofthe conference. “By havingpeople not pull any punchesin terms of the questionsand comments they make,that helps us prepare forthe future.”The meeting was also

a chance for regionalpolice and fire depart-ment chaplains to networkwith military chaplains,exchange contact informa-tion and trade thoughtsand ideas. Some chaplainstraveled from Pennsylvaniafor the conference.Pentagram staff writer Jim

Mall Victory in EuropeDayanniversary commemora-tions to leisurely watch theflyover from the WhippleField hill on the Fort Myerportion of Joint BaseMyer-Henderson Hall. Besidesthe 15 waves of planesthat flew over the NationalMall during the Arsenalof Democracy f lyover,which commemoratedthe 70th anniversary ofVEDay, some onWhippleField were entertained byAnderson’s sharp wit.“I just want to see

someone stick their handout of the [Washington]Monument and shake theirhands when they’re flyingby,” Anderson said whenasked what he was lookingforward to seeing the most.Not only was he quick

with the jokes, he was quickwith the stories. As wordpassed that Anderson wasaWorldWar II veteran, theArlington, Va., residentwas greeted by civilianspectators.“Carl, first of all, God

bless him; he looks won-derful for his age,” saidDean Popps of McLean,Va. “He looks like he isready to still get to the doorof the airplane. He helpedkeep the world free and itwas great to go to him andsay thank you.”Through the stories,

Anderson recalled hiswhereabouts on the originalVE Day in 1945. He wasright in the middle of thebiggest story of that day.“We were stationed

outside of Reims; theywere signing the peacetreaty that day,” he toldthose listening. “The crowd[in Reims] was worse thanthe New Year’s crowd atTimes Square [in NewYork City].”Surrounded by his

family members, Andersoncontinued to mesmerizeJBM-HH guests with70-year-old stories fromhis war-time campaignsduring D-Day and theBattle of the Bulge. In June1944, enemy fire hit hisaircraft while he descendedon Normandy; he jumpedfrom the burning plane.“I hope I jumped, or I

wouldn’t be here today,” hesaid while some laughed athis matter-of-fact humor. “Iknow I jumped; I didn’t govery far. It [the fire] reallylit up the inside of theplane. It could have beenflack or machine gun firebecause we were so low.”When asked about his

crow’s nest view fromWhipple, he was impressed,but started the conversationwith a light hearted crack.“They look like mos-

quitoes from here,” saidAnderson, who saw theinterior of a fewC-47s whenhe parachuted into Europe.The formations that

received the most atten-tion from JBM-HH viewerswere when the Boeing B-29Superfortress flew past theLincolnMemorial and thetight formation of the P-51Mustangs which buzzedpast the WashingtonMonument and below theWorld War II Memorial.Pentagram staff writer Jim
