REMARKS BY CAPTAIN MICHEAL NORTIER

Captain Michael Nortier: “So I appreciate the honor, the kind remarks and the incredible show of support certainly from all Washington State but most particularly today here in the Senate. I’ll also echo some of the remarks that were already made out there and we truly are a joint Department of Defense. We work alongside our brothers and sisters in each of the services and happily and gladly work with Army, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. I will echo the other comments that it is a known record that we are thirteen straight consecutive victories against the Army so … But, thank you all for the invitation and the honor today. It’s a distinct honor to be here in Olympia for Washington State Navy Day. While Navy Region Northwest responsibilities now cover an eleven state area, more than ninety percent of the Navy affiliated personnel are located here in Washington. When I say Navy affiliation I’m referring to over one hundred eighteen thousand sailors, navy civilian employees, family members and retirees across the region. In fact, Seattle and the Puget Sound area is the U. S. Navy’s third largest fleet concentration area. We spend about 5.3 billion dollars each year here in Washington State to keep your Navy ready and able. I refer to the Navy here is your Navy. With a heartfelt understanding that Sailors and families serving here are the sons and daughters of our nation and of this state. The Navy civilians and retirees are residents who have chosen to live and work here in Washington. On behalf of the people living in Washington State that are serving in the Navy today or who have served in the Navy in the past, I want to thank our many friends in Olympia, leaders who know the value of the Navy presence in this great state who care about our sailors, our navy families and our veterans. Your record of support speaks for itself. You’ve continued to focus on legislation helping veterans transition into the civilian economy; helping military families more easily become part of Washington’s work force and school system; and enabling our Navy operations here to be more compatible and work closely with their surrounding communities. I appreciate all the work you continue to do to make this state an even better home base for the U. S. Navy’s finest fleet, fighters and families. For this one day every year we meet here to engage with one another face to face and you in turn are able to focus on sailors and naval assets that call Washington home. The rest of the year, your Navy, here in Washington, is operating twenty-four hours a day to ensure we are ready and capable of fulfilling our role as the nation’s shield. Your efforts here, the support of the citizens of Washington State enable us to maintain that capability. Thank you.”

PRESENTATION OF AWARDS

Captain Michael Nortier: “Today we would also like to pause and recognize a few Navy heroes that in the past year, through their distinctive actions, have directly given back to Washington. Their actions reflect the service and dedication to country and community that’s a hallmark of Naval service. For those in the military: ‘Attention to Orders:’ We will present four Air Medals now with the help of our two Senators.

The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Air Medal with Bronze Star for First Award to: Lieutenant Jared J. Wada; Lieutenant Christopher Heller; Hospital Corpsman First Class Wayne N. Papalski and Naval Air Crewman Second Class Cory R. Hedges for service set forth in the following citation:

For heroic achievement while participating in aerial flight while flying as Search and Rescue Crew on an MH 605 aircraft assigned to Naval Base Whidbey Island during a Search and Rescue Mission on Mount Stuart, Washington on June 5, 2014 the captain and crew’s forward thinking, superior airmanship and determined leadership were vital to saving a life of a stranded and critically injured hiker. They carefully directed the position of FIREWOOD 58 to deliver a swinging Rescue Airman 80 feet below the aircraft to a dangerously small precipice. Despite hazardous conditions and incredibly limited aircraft performance, undeterred by obstacles, they demonstrated superior technical capacity and skill to safely affect the rescue in close proximity to a near vertical rock cliff face that left zero margin for error. Their efforts ensured a successful rescue where other crews and aircraft could not.

For the President

Jeffrey S. Ruth, Rear Admiral, United States Navy Commander, Navy Region Northwest.”

Senators Bailey and Parlette pinned each of the four Sailors assigned to Whidbey Island’s Search and Rescue team.

The Award recipients were recognized by the senate.

REMARKS BY CAPTAIN MICHEAL NORTIER

Captain Michael Nortier: “I’ll just conclude, it’s a rare honor and privilege and certainly we are honored to be here today to recognize just a few folks from the Navy but really to talk about the support that you render to all of our Navy families and veterans here in the Washington community. Thank you.”
