Hundreds turn out for Kaiserslautern Special Olympics
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Crowds of spectators cheered as MeeHee Ashe and fellow Special Olympics athletes sprinted down the 50-meter track during the annual games held in Enkenbach-Alsenborn.
For those 22 seconds, as she ran under sunny skies beside German and American athletes, Ashe, 27, felt happy, she said. Over the past few weeks, she has been training and preparing herself for the May 5 event – as she has done for more than two decades.
“I like to run,” Ashe said. “I forget about some things and just do it.”
The spring games, sponsored by U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, included tennis, track & field, badminton, soccer, basketball and volleyball. They have been held in Kaiserslautern Military Community for 28 years – the past 14 years at the German police academy, whose officers also supported the event. In all, more than 800 German and American athletes took part. They were supported by roughly 1,300 volunteers.
Lorelai Browning, 17, a Vilseck High School student carried the Olympic torch into the arena. Her parents, Sgt. 1st Class Henry Browning and his wife Lorenna, watched with pride.
“It’s such an honor for her.” Lorenna Browning said. “We’re so excited.”
Everyone who took part is a winner, said Lt. Col Kevin Hutchison, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, during his opening remarks.
“These games are intended to help the athletes gain confidence and build a positive self-image that carries over into the classroom, home, job and community,” Hutchison said. “It also fosters friendships between volunteers and athletes and provides a forum for better understanding of adults and children with intellectual disabilities.”
Nearby, Spc. Brad Abraham, 20, of Turlock, Calif., handed 10-year-old Aaron Evans a bottle of water as the Ramstein Intermediate School student prepared for his sprint. Abraham was among hundreds of Kaiserslautern Soldiers and Airmen who volunteered to support the event.
“In the Army, helping people is part of what we do,” Abraham said. “It’s fun, when you get into it.”
Evans darted down the dusty track, flanked by other children who laughed and smiled as they crossed the finish line. Afterward, Abraham pinned a yellow ribbon to Evans’s blue Special Olympics t-shirt.
“I enjoy seeing kids enjoying this,” Abraham said. “If they’re having fun, then we’re having fun.”
The event marked the second year volunteering for Senior Airman James Carlisle, 29, and engineering assistant from Pascagoula, Miss., who serves with the 86th Civil Engineering Squadron at Ramstein Air Base. He served as a buddy for Dominik Keller, a seven-year-old Kaiserslautern athlete. Carlisle noticed that Keller and other young athletes were not so interested in “hearing all the talk in the beginning,” he said.
“They knew what they wanted when they got here. The first thing out of their mouth was ‘Fussball’ – they wanted to play soccer,” Carlisle said. “They look forward to this all year. It’s really exciting.”
Kids got plastic firefighters’ hats and clambered into U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern fire trucks on display. Nearby, participants made arts and crafts projects and hitched rides on a mini-train.
Garrison volunteers sweated over huge grills, barbequing hundreds of hot dogs and hamburgers.
The final sporting event was a friendly soccer match between German and American athletes. Germany won, 8-0. Then, crowds applauded as Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Jessup led fellow senior enlisted leaders from Kaiserslautern’s Army and Air Force units in the presentation of medallions to athletes.
Ashe climbed the pedestal and slightly bowed to receive her medal, to the cheers of her parents, Charlie and Nelda, plus hundreds of other people crowding the grandstands. Afterward, athletes, volunteers and spectators joined hands in a huge circle and sang “We Are The World.”
“It feels happy inside,” Ashe said. “It’s about winning and it’s not about losing. It’s about having fun.”

Don't I look like I'm in there with the other kids?
I went to the clinical school on 5-Mar-07 (Well... I go there everyday). Studied for the path exam that's in 2 months time. Learnt about numerous infectious diseases that still prevails and takes away young lives in many of the developing communities.
Thanks to Ash for her pair of sunnies and the 'developing community' pamphlet.

Since 2007, White Ribbon Alliance has been building support and visibility at Glastonbury Festival in the UK – the world’s biggest open air music festival, with 200,000 visitors and 2,000 journalists from 70 countries.
Our team of dedicated volunteers has pasted stick-on “heart mum” tattoos on the arms of festival goers while talking to them about how we keep girls and women safe in pregnancy and birth. We have “made a noise for mums” with a record breaking drum roll lead from the stage by pop stars Rudimental, Lily Allen and Shlomo. We have invited celebrities and to have their photos taken in WRA photoframes, shared widely on social media, raising awareness of our brand and our issues. Our Global Champion Sarah Brown has joined us at Glastonbury with supermodel supporter Naomi Campbell. And then in 2016 we stood in solidarity after the murder of our colleague Jo Cox, MP, who had been instrumental in the strategy to win international support for maternal and newborn health.
In 2017, the plan was to draw attention to WRA’s role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights by building on the growing momentum of the women’s rights marches around the world. We made an exhibition in our tent of the best and funniest of the placards – ranging from “Misters for the Sisters” to “Girls just want to have fun-damental human rights,” inviting festival goers to come in and make their own before joining us on the stage of the Park field in our own #RESIST rally.
