Altamonte Springs, Fla. - More than 50 Army Reserve Soldiers from Mission Support Element, Headquaters & Headquarters Company, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), joined more than 1,000 participants in the Orlando Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk Sept. 9, 2018, at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, Fla.
The event honored New York City firefighter Stephen Siller who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 9/11 attacks. Carrying more than 60 pounds of firefighting equipment, Siller ran from Brooklyn Tunnel--closed as a security measure--to the World Trade Center where he laid his life to save the lives of others.
Siller's story inspired nearly half of the 143d ESC Soldiers to don ruck sacks and run alongside hundreds of first responders wearing their full gear.
One 143d ESC Soldier, Spc. Andy Meyreles, honored his civilian and military profession during the race. Serving as an Ammunition and Stock Control and Accounting Specialist, the Hialeah, Fla., native put on his Orange County Fire Rescue helmet, jacket and pants over his Army physical fitness uniform. Meyreles' choice of attire paid homage to all service members and first responders who follow Siller's legendary example.

In support of the Global 16 Days Campaign against Gender-Based Violence, the Wilson Center proudly presents, “Celebrating Women,”an art exhibition highlighting female artists from around the globe.
Around the world, women and girls are targeted, abused, and killed because of their gender. The United Nations estimates that 1 in 3 women will experience some form of violence during their lifetime. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated already devastatingly high rates of gender-based violence (GBV).
Each year, the Wilson Center participates in the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign to amplify the visibility of the global issue of violence against women and girls. This year, the Wilson Center is highlighting the intersection between GBV and women’s economic and financial inclusion.
Job loss and financial instability resulting from the pandemic have been identified as potential drivers of increased domestic abuse and intimate partner violence against women. Economic independence has been shown to be a helpful tool in reducing GBV and improving the lives of survivors. This year, the Wilson Center is hosting female artists from around the world to highlight women as active contributors to society as a demonstration of solidarity to survivors of violence and all women and girls.
This exhibition would not have been possible without the support from Ambassador Mark Green and the Wilson Center programs and staff, Qatar-America Institute of Culture, Québec Bureau Washington, the Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank, ROFA Projects, and the Embassies of Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Jordan, Qatar, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic, and Uruguay.
KISSIMMEE, FLA. – Four Soldiers from Mission Support Element, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), joined thousands of service members, veterans and their families who gathered at the Westgate Resort in Kissimmee for free food, live music and heartfelt fellowship during the second annual Military Appreciation Weekend Concert held May 5, 2018.
Westgate Resorts’ CEO David Siegel opened the property to more than 1,500 military families for a complimentary, three-night stay that culminated in a free concert that featured the Chris Weaver Band.
Alongside the complimentary concessions and children activities, the 143d ESC Soldiers set up and managed two static displays featuring one of the unit’s Humvees and Light Medium Tactical Vehicle. The vehicles attracted hundreds of children, dozens of young adults and even a few veterans who climbed aboard the driver’s seat, donned an Advanced Combat Helmet and put their hands on the steering wheel.
In addition to the dozens of pop, rock, country and R&B songs played by the Chris Weaver Band, the concert offered a military flair complete with the presentation of the colors by Veterans of Foreign Wars Command Post 4287, the singing of the national anthem by American Idol contestant Alyssa Raghu and a helicopter flyover conducted by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Among the long list of VIPs was Florida Gov. Rick Scott who shook hands and took pictures with the 143d ESC Soldiers.
The concert concluded with fireworks that illuminated the night sky, its colorful patterns bouncing off thousands of fluttering flags and smiling faces.

The race took place in conjunction with a dedication ceremony of the Blue Jacket Recruit, a statue of a female recruit standing for inspection on her day of graduation from Navy Boot Camp. Designed by J. Don Reynolds, a world renowned sculptor who once served in the Navy aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown, the heroic scale statue commemorates 188,000 women who began their naval careers at Orlando Recruit Training Center from 1968-1994. The statue stands next a Lone Sailor statue that signifies Central Florida’s rich military heritage and America’s gender integration in its armed forces.
The ceremony featured several distinguished guests to include Carla Hoskins, a graduate of Orlando RTC, Jennifer Thompson, vice mayor of Orange County, and Stephanie Murphy, U.S. congresswoman for Florida’s 7th District. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined them and hundreds others in attendance in expressing their respect for more than 650,000 men and women who marched on this hallowed ground.

TEWKESBURY –Garry Mills, chairman of the Royal British Legion Gloucester Branch hosted a Joint Angolo German Concert that featured the Trumpeters of the Band of the Life Guards and Marinemusikkorps Ostee-Symphonic Band Wednesday 27, 2014.

More than 200 people turned out to support the RBL, service members as well as civilians. All proceeds that were collected will all go to RBL in support of its cause.
“This was a great event, for a great purpose,” said Joyce McCall, a Tewkesbury resident. “The music was amazing, I loved all the choice pieces played,” she said.
The theme of the concert “The Heroes in Music” which describes how bands provided music throughout the spectrum of military operations to give Soldiers the will to fight and win, but today it is in remembrance of all Soldiers and what they have sacrificed for their country.
At the closing of the night’s event a certificate of appreciation was presented to Maj. Gen. Tim Evans, commander, Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (COMARRC) in appreciation of HQ ARRC and their support.

Fire & Emergency Support Service from Dorset Branch give a glimpse of what the service is all about.
One of the angel figures supporting the 15th century chancel roof.
St Lawrence's in Ludlow could easily claim to be the grandest parish church in Shropshire but also one of the very finest and most rewarding medieval churches in the country. It is a very large cruciform building dating mostly to the 14th & 15th centuries crowned by a soaring central tower that is a major landmark of the town. The red sandstone exterior however is otherwise somewhat elusive, being hemmed in by buildings in close proximity and thus difficult to get an overall shot of as a complete building.
The church is entered via an unusual hexagonal porch on the south side which admits access to the spacious nave and aisles. The crossing beyond is tall and narrow and adds a cathedral-like dimension to the interior, with views into the lower lantern-stage of the tower above. The chancel beyond is similarly impressive in scale and adornment with a fine 15th century wooden roof and much more.
St Lawrence's is especially famous for its interior fittings, most of all the superb preadmedieval choir stalls with one of the best collections of misericord carvings anywhere. Less well known but equally important is the extensive collection of medieval stained glass in the eastern half of the church. Most of the glass in the chancel has either been very heavily restored or replaced entirely in replica by early 19th century restorers, but the glass in the north chapel is much more complete and despite some restoration largely retains its original appearance.
There are several notable tombs and monuments here also, including the heart burial of Henry VIII's older brother Prince Arthur (whose untimely death in Ludlow dramatically changed our history forever).
St Lawrence's is normally open to visitors on a daily basis and shouldn't be missed. The tower may also be ascended for some fine views over the town of Ludlow and beyond.
