AIRMAN’S QUICK 

ACTION SAVES 

MOTORCYCLISTS’ LIFE 

By Steve Pivnick 

81st Medical Group Public Affairs 

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. — A routine 

trip to pick up their son from daycare Oct. 11 

turned into a life-saving event for a Keesler Airman 

and her husband. 

Senior Airman Heather Holley, 81st Medical 

Operations Squadron, and her husband Eric were 

crossing the Popps Ferry Bridge that evening when 

a truck ahead of them suddenly came to a complete 

stop. The operator of a motorcycle that was 

right behind the truck swerved to avoid hitting the 

stopped vehicle, lost control and wound up with his 

motorcycle on top of his legs. 

Holley recalled his legs appeared to be “almost 

cut off.” 

“We were directly behind the accident scene. We 

stopped and jumped out of our car. My husband 

(who had served in the Navy as a medical corpsman) 

rushed over to the accident victim while I 

called 9-1-1. Incredibly, people were just standing 

around watching. 

“We tried to keep him as calm as possible. He 

was starting to fade in and out of consciousness so 

we tried to keep him awake. An ambulance arrived 

about 15 minutes after the accident. 

Heather said the victim, a retired Air Force member, 

had given Eric his wife’s phone number and 

Heather called her to inform her of the accident. 

The Holleys visited the victim at the hospital that 

evening; his wife hugged and thanked them for 

what they had done for her husband. 

Heather said the victim, who had surgery the 

night of the accident and again Sunday, was transported 

to Jackson, Miss., for additional treatment. 

Holley learned Oct. 22 that the victim would lose 

his leg. “The doctors tried to save it but there was 

too much damage. He will also have to undergo 

rehabilitation. 

“Reflecting on the event, Heather said, “It brought 

back some bad memories -- we almost lost my dad 

in a car wreck last year. It was scary at first but 

we realized we were able to help. It was a matter 

of being in the right place at the right time.” She 

added, “All the exercises we’ve participated in 

really came in handy. You never think it’s valuable 

until it’s needed.”

Family Advocacy, 81st MDG conduct domestic violence awareness ‘experiment’ 

By Paula Spooner 

81st Medical Operations Squadron family 

advocacy outreach manager 

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. 

— Every year the Family Advocacy 

Program staff plans and implements 

a community awareness campaign 

designed to educate Team Keesler, as 

well as reinforce the reality that prevention 

and detection of interpersonal 

violence is truly a base-wide responsibility. 

This year, FAP teamed up with Brig. 

Gen. (Dr.) Kory Cornum, 81st Medical 

Group commander, to conduct a social 

experiment. 15 male and female volunteers 

of various ranks, ages and job 

descriptions were recruited to don realistic 

moulage injuries indicative of nonaccidental 

trauma. Each victim was 

then imbedded within his or her duty 

section to conduct the routine day-today 

responsibilities of the job. 

The objective? To observe and evaluate 

bystander response to the perceived 

injury, both from friends and co-workers 

as well as casual observers. Would 

others approach,express concern and 

offer support? Would the bruises, bites 

or scratches be a source of discomfort 

or embarrassment for others, and 

responded to with jokes or deliberate 

avoidance? 

If approached by concerned bystanders, 

volunteers offered no explanation, 

but handed them cards explaining the 

experiment, confirming their actual 

safety and thanking the Wingmen for 

intervening. Otherwise, the volunteers 

were to go about their normal daily 

routine - working, going out to lunch 

or hitting the gym for a quick workout. 

The volunteer victims were instructed 

to pay careful attention to their own 

personal thoughts and feelings as they 

observed others. 

Many of the participants reported 

being surprised by their observations. 

One common finding was the frequency 

with which the clearly visible injuries 

was actively ignored, even in situations 

in which they interacted with others 

one-on-one. In fact, 61 percent of 

the tallied responses were described as 

“purposely ignoring the injury or saying 

nothing.” Virtually all participants 

reported that many of the colleagues 

closest to them seemed the least likely 

to respond. 

All agreed that when this occurred, 

the negative impact was significantly 

greater than feeling ignored by acquaintances 

or strangers. Although there were 

Keesler medic 

nominated for GEICO award 




— Tech. Sgt. Cecilia Cardenas, formerly 

with the 81st Medical Operations 

Squadron Mental Health Flight, has 

been selected as the Air Force nominee 

for the 2012 Government Employees 

Insurance Company Military Service 

Awards, Drug and Alcohol Abuse 

Prevention Category. 

According to her award nomination, 

the former NCO in-charge of Keesler’s 

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention & 

Treatment Program led five members 

and oversaw 1,300 individual and group 

appointments and 11 projects.” Her program 

also was named the best in 2011 

by the Institute of Medicine. 

Among her achievements, Cardenas 

was cited for instituting annual computer-based 

training, assisting in evaluating 

substance abuse and chemical dependence, 

therefore enhancing the skills 

of 1,300 medical personnel. She also 

provided ADAPT assessments, treatment 

and education and was credited 

with 266 patient encounters, ensuring 

mission readiness and saving the Air 

Force more than $65,000. 

Other accomplishments included 

leading Keesler Air Force Base’s first 

peer-to-peer prevention program, teaching 

students to educate and challenge 

their peers. A total of 3,000 personnel 

were involved resulting in a 40 percent 

decrease in under-aged drinking. A base 

newspaper article she authored to educate 

the Keesler community about the 

dangers of mixing alcohol with water 

sports enlightened an estimated 32,000 

readers. In addition, the program she 

organized for National Recovery Month 

awareness provided alcohol and drug 

addiction education to the base’s 11,800 

personnel. 

Cardenas recently left Keesler for 

a new assignment to the Deployment 

Transition Center at Ramstein Air Base, 

Germany. 

To All 

Veterans 

Flu shot for retirees 

a few reported exceptions, most Air 

Force members in leadership positions 

expressed concern and offered support. 

The majority of participants agreed that 

the attitude with which a bystander 

approached them was critical, as many 

were addressed in the presence of others 

or in a teasing or joking manner. 

Virtually all volunteer victims reported 

experiencing an emotional response, 

citing sadness, depression, anger, disappointment 

and hurt as examples. One 

victim wrote, “If I was an actual victim 

that day, it would have been one of 

the worst days of my life. The lack of 

concern from my peers could have hurt 

and angered me more than the actual 

(domestic violence) attack.” 

This feedback is consistent with what 

we know about interpersonal violence. 

The message conveyed by a bystander’s 

lack of response is, “I’m not worth 

anyone taking the time. No one cares. 

I must deserve it.” Worse, the senses 

of betrayal, hopelessness and despair 

experienced when someone they trust 

chooses to ignore the signs of nonaccidental 

trauma are often the toughest 

hurdle for survivors to overcome in 

counseling. It’s not that most people 

don’t care, won’t take the time or think 

it’s none of their business. To the contrary, 

most people are concerned; they 

want to do the right thing but too often 

people don’t intervene because they 

worry that they might offend the victim, 

or they simply have no idea what 

to say. 

Maybe the biggest lesson about the 

experiment is the reminder that every 

one of us has tremendous power in 

others’ lives. You don’t need to know 

details about the private lives of everyone 

in your office to recognize if one 

of them suddenly comes to work with 

a black eye. And after talking to hundreds 

of trauma survivors through the 

years, I can tell you this: If someone 

is being hurt, your silence damages far 

more than if you should say something 

that seems awkward. So be discreet, 

be respectful, be kind. If you are concerned, 

say something like, “Hey, if you 

want to talk or you ever need anything, 

I’m always here.” Those simple words 

of compassion have the potential to 

become a lifeline that might become 

the hope that makes a difference in that 

person’s life.

intervention strategies call 228-376-

USAMITC initiates Behavioral Health Kiosks to improve patient care 

By Kenneth Blair Hogue, 

USAMITC Public Affairs 

FORT SAM HOUSTON, TEXAS – 

The U.S. Army Medical Information 

Technology Center (USAMITC) recently 

completed work on a key component 

to support the Behavioral Health Data 

Portal (BHDP) initiative. The BHDP 

kiosk was designed to greatly improve 

communication between patients and 

doctors within Army Medicine at the 

Military Treatment Facility (MTF) 

level. 

The BHDP initiative, which involves 

all of Army Medicine worldwide, came 

about to improve Providers’ ability to 

more rapidly identify Soldiers at risk for 

Behavioral Health concerns. Combined 

with the BHDP workflow, this initiative 

more efficiently utilizes the Patient and 

Providers’ time to put critical information 

at the Providers’ fingertips when 

it’s needed. The BHDP initiative grew 

out of a best practice from Madigan 

and Tripler Army Medical Centers, 

was further refined and is now being 

deployed Army Medicine wide starting 

in Landstuhl, Germany. 

“Prior practice required the patient to 

fill out personal information on a paper 

questionnaire about their mental state of 

health and hand it to the medical technician 

or corpsman for entry into Medical 

Operational Data System (MODS),” 

said Russell Nagle, USAMITC’s Lead 

for the Engineering, Integration and 

Technology Branch in the command’s 

Core Technology Division, and the 

Team Lead for this BHDP Initiative. 

“The perception was that we were possibly 

not getting the accurate information 

because dealing with mental health 

is a touchy subject,” said Nagle. “We 

wanted patients to input this information 

directly into MODS online, without 

feeling as though someone was 

looking over their shoulder. So that 

was the tasking that came to us; to create 

a product that would ensure patient 

confidentiality and be used with multiple 

computing platforms, a tablet, 

a laptop or a PC, wired or wireless” 

said Nagle. “As a bonus, having the 

answers already input, the doctors can 

review the answers to the questions 

immediately, thereby speeding up the 

process.” 

These Behavioral Health kiosks pertain 

to the Mental Health Community 

Army-wide, and this process can also 

help to bridge the gap between Army, 

Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps 

patients. But right now, this process 

is only available to Army Medical 

Command Military patients. The service 

might be expanded later to include 

family members and other dependents. 

“Dependents and other personnel that 

may not have Common Access Cards, 

and the need for the system to be wireless, 

were two huge challenges that had 

to be overcome,” said Nagle. “And the 

teams involved in these evolutions did 

an excellent job in making this project 

successful. As a result, you can use a 

tablet, laptop or desktop to complete 

your on-line mental health questionnaire 

in a confidential manner.”

Airman aides crash victim with ties to Keesler 



KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. — Senior 

irman Ciara Bien, 81st Medical Support Squadron, 

as waiting for a traffic signal in Biloxi to change 

hen she witnessed an airborne pickup truck going 

hrough the intersection. 

“I said ‘Oh, my God!’ as the truck flew by like a 

ancake and landed on its roof. I had never seen anyhing 

like that before!” 

Bien reacted immediately. 

“As someone else ran to the truck, I ran to the other 

ar. All his airbags had deployed. I helped him out of 

is car, walked him to safety on the side of the road 

- making sure he had no severe injuries, which he 

idn’t. I called 911 as we walked. 

I then went to the truck that had flipped on its top. 

he driver already had been helped out and we walked 

im over to a bench, had him sit down next to his wife 

who was a passenger in the truck). Another bystander 

ad led her to the bench. I stayed with the truck driver 

rying to keep him still and calm until the paramedics 

rrived. He was very worried about his wife. He told 

e they had been married for 46 years and they were 

on a trip to Florida. I kept assuring him she was sitting 

right next to him and that she was OK.” 

Bien remained at the accident scene while the truck 

driver and his wife were placed in ambulances and 

also ensured the car driver was doing alright. 

Coincidentally, Adam Bond, a photographer with 

KMAR Industries at Keesler, was nearby when the 

accident occurred and learned that the driver of the 

car involved in the crash was his brother. They were 

returning from visiting their parents in Ocean Springs 

and apparently his brother had passed him on U.S. 

90. 

Bond wanted to thank Bien for her actions and wrote 

her commander a letter highlighting her involvement. 

He commented, “I had begun to decelerate for a traffic 

light that had just turned yellow when I witnessed a 

truck fly through the air in the intersection in front of 

me, just two cars ahead. I ran to assist and only after 

helping the driver out of the truck did I discover my 

brother was the other driver in the accident and had 

collided with the truck. Fortunately, no one involved 

was seriously injured. 

“As our nerves began to settle, I became aware of 

Senior Airman Ciara Bien, who was assisting the 

occupants of the truck as emergency services tended 

to their injuries. (She) also checked and doublechecked 

my brother to ensure he wasn’t in need of 

medical attention. Even after the heroic bystanders 

who had responded to the initial impact had carried on 

and even after accident onlookers had dispersed, she 

remained on scene. Only after ambulances departed 

and she was certain everyone had been properly cared 

for did she return to her vehicle.” 

He concluded, “Senior Airman Bien exemplifies the 

Air Force core values in the medical community and 

the 81st MDSS through her demonstrated service to 

the community in a time of need. Her actions directly 

contributed to the assured well-being of three civilians 

in crisis and reflect positively on the Air Force and its 

mission. Please take the time to acknowledge her for a 

job well done.” He also visited her in her office at the 

Keesler Hospital Oct. 22 to thank her. 

Bien recalled the entire incident, from the collision 

to the ambulances’ departure, spanned a little more 

than half an hour. The event culminated a very active 

day for the health services management specialist; she 

had participated in the “Making Strides Against Breast 

Cancer” 5K Walk in Biloxi in the morning and later 

the “Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome” in Gulfport.

Sheep River Hunting Camps 

Sheep, Brown Bear, Moose & Black Bear 

For many years we have been guiding in two locations, 

the first area is in the interior, the other in the

our method of operation, as the terrain and inaccessibility 

make these areas unattractive to the average 

guide/hunter. The result is very little hunting 

pressure by others.

High Country Connections, Inc. 

Our goal is to provide you, the hunter, with a quality Colorado 

hunting experience and the best opportunity for a 

successful hunt. The key to our success has been the 

forming of a block of neighboring private ranches dedicated 

to the idea that every guided hunter should get the 

opportunity to kill a legal bull elk. These ranches try to 

schedule their ranch work and cattle grazing to minimize 

the impact on the elk herds. This is done to give you, the 

guided hunter, what you paid for.

81st MDG receives 

‘excellent’ rating on care 




-- The 81st Medical Group provides 

“Excellent” patient care. That was the 

overall rating the group received from 

the Air Force Inspection Agency Health 

Service Inspection that concluded Oct. 

25. 

Team Chief Col. John Sell, AFIA 

director of medical operations, told an 

audience of “Dragon Medics” packing 

the hospital’s Don Wylie Auditorium 

Oct. 26, “Your medical group is the 

best I’ve seen. As General Cornum 

(Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Kory Cornum, 81st 

Medical Group commander) told me 

at the outset, it’s all about the patients 

and that’s how you operate the medical 

group. Your attitude is infectious - you 

are a true team! I would be glad to get 

care here or for my family to do so. You 

have done your commander and the Air 

Force Medical Service proud!” 

After Sell made his remarks, he and 

senior enlisted inspection team member 

Chief Master Sgt. Dawn Fruits departed. 

At that point, Cornum commenced a 

quick rundown of the inspection results, 

culminating with the announcement of 

the “Excellent” rating. 

“I’m really proud of what you folks 

do,” he said. “I’m proud of the patient 

care you provide and your hard work.” 

The 10-person team arrived over two 

days, five got here Oct. 21 and the rest 

the following day. The earlier arrivals 

began scrutinizing the medical group 

Oct. 22, a day ahead of the anticipated 

start. During their assessment the team 

from Kirtland AFB, N.M., conducted 

interviews and did walk-around inspections 

of the hospital’s work centers. In 

addition, they reviewed 184 binders 

of information compiled by the group 

staff. 

Among the areas they examined were 

public health, patient safety, nursing 

services and operations, referral management, 

infection control, dental services, 

mental health, bioenvironmental 

engineering, readiness and the medical 

group’s business plan. 

The team cited five group members 

for special recognition for their work 

readying the unit for the inspection: 

81st MDG HSI team chief Lt. Col. Paul 

Langevin; and outstanding performers 

Senior Airman Candace Caudill, 81st 

Aerospace Medicine Squadron; Staff 

Sgt. Tammi Fish, 81st Medical Support 

Squadron; Master Sgt. David Boydston, 

81st Medical Operations Squadron; and 

Betty Schoen, 81st MDSS. 

Later, Sell explained, “We conduct 

approximately 25 active-duty HSIs a 

year and inspect every Air Force medical 

group both in the United States and 

around the world. This is a compliancebased 

inspection during which a team 

of medical functional experts looks 

at more than 750 criteria.” He noted, 

“General Cornum and his team should 

be very proud of an extremely successful 

inspection.” 

Cornum also recognized three group 

personnel for their efforts preparing 

the organization for the HSI. They 

were: Master Sgt. Mary Jamison and 

Senior Master Sgt. Scott Strickland, 

81st MDOS; and Maj. Ronald Eller, 

81st MDSS. 

With the HSI over, the “Dragon 

Medics” completed preparations for 

this week’s Air Education and Training 

Command Consolidated Unit Inspection. 

In addition, the medical group is vulnerable 

for The Joint Commission survey 

anytime between today and March 

31, 2013. TJC can arrive with a week’s 

prior notice. The organization accredits 

and certifies more than 19,000 health 

care organizations and programs in the

Wilson first proclaimed 

Armistice Day 

or November 11, 1919. In prolaiming 

the holiday, he said 

“To us in America, the reflecions 

of Armistice Day will be 

illed with solemn pride in the 

eroism of those who died in 

he country’s service and with 

ratitude for the victory, both 

ecause of the thing from which 

t has freed us and because of the 

pportunity it has given America 

o show her sympathy with peace 

nd justice in the councils of the 

ations.”[2] 

The United States Congress 

assed a concurrent resolution 

even years later on June 4, 1926, 

equesting that President Calvin 

oolidge issue another proclaation 

to observe November 11 

ith appropriate ceremonies.[2] 

Congressional Act (52 Stat. 

51; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) 

pproved May 13, 1938, made 

he 11th of November in each 

ear a legal holiday: “a day to be 

edicated to the cause of world 

eace and to be thereafter celbrated 

and known as ‘Armistice 

ay’.” 

In 1945, WWII vetern 

Raymond Weeks from 

irmingham, Alabama, had the 

dea to expand Armistice Day 

o celebrate all veterans, not just 

hose who died in World War 

. Weeks led a delegation to 

en. Dwight Eisenhower, who 

upported the idea of National 

eterans Day. Weeks led the 

irst national celebration in 1947 

n Alabama and annually until his 

eath in 1985. President Reagan 

onored Weeks at the White 

ouse with the Presidential 

itizenship Medal in 1982 as 

he driving force for the national 

oliday. Elizabeth Dole, who preared 

the briefing for President 

eagan, determined Weeks as 

he “Father of Veterans Day.” 

Although originally scheduled 

or celebration on November 11 

f every year, starting in 1971 

n accordance with the Uniform 

onday Holiday Act, Veterans 

ay was moved to the fourth 

onday of October. In 1978, 

t was moved back to its origial 

celebration on November 11. 

hile the legal holiday remains 

n November 11, if that date 

appens to be on a Saturday 

r Sunday, then organizations 

hat formally observe the holiay 

will normally be closed on 

he adjacent Friday or Monday, 

espectively.
