The horses in the CaissonPlatoon of the Army’s 3d U.S.Infantry Regiment (The OldGuard) participate in thousandsof ceremonies annually and area popular attraction on the FortMyer portion of Joint BaseMyer-Henderson Hall. But with such aworkload, the animals frequentlyneed fresh footwear.That’s where the stables’ two

farriers, Spc. Tyler Salas and Spc.Todd Kline, come in, makingshoes from scratch for the pla-toon’s elite equines.The barn is home to 48Caisson

horses whose shoes are typicallychanged every six weeks or asneeded, Salas said during aninterview with the Pentagram.Special cases can arise whena horse breaks or loses a shoethrough routine wear andtear, he said.The farriers also inspect and

tighten the shoes on horses beforetheir ceremonial duties.Salas, 24, and Kline, 19, both

volunteered for the job, whichthey agree is taxing, but rewardingin equal measure.“I love it,” said Salas. “It’s the

most physically demanding thingI’ve probably ever done in mylife, but I just love it. It’s likeart. Every horse you shoe, youtry and do better, and you justtry to make it look as good aspossible. There’s a lot more thatgoes into it than just putting theshoe on the horse.”Making shoes takes between

two and four hours, accordingto the farriers, a process thatrequires them to forge pieces ofmetal in 3,000-degree heat andshape them to fit the specifichooves of different horses.And getting the shoes on the

horses’ hooves is a challenge inits own right. The farriers mustprecisely line up the nails whenfastening the shoes, or they riskinjuring one of the platoon’selite animals.Kline said correctly aligning

the nails can be a daunting task,especially if a Soldier is new atthe job, but he and Salas havecome to know the horses, so thetask is easier. Some animals arecalm when it comes time for ashoe change, while others can bemore fidgety, Salas said.“These aren’t just averagehorses

The CEOs

Odierno honored eachaward recipient duringremarks to the crowd. BothDavis, the chief executiveofficer and chairman ofUnited Parcel Service, andJPMorgan Chase and Co.CEOMatthew Zames wererecognized for giving backto the military in the formof employment.“As chief operating

off icer [at JPMorganChase], Matt formed analliance with other majorcorporate employers com-mitted to hiring 100,000military veterans, which issimply amazing,” Odiernosaid. “During Scott’stenure, UPS has employedover 25,000 veterans andhas pledged to hire an addi-tional 25,000more over thecoming years.”The chief also empha-

sized that Davis has beena leader in contributingand encouraging volun-teerism.His employees haveselflessly invested 25,000volunteer hours to assistveterans and veterans’service organizations,Odierno said.Accepting the award on

Davis’ behalf was ChipMeyers, UPS vice presi-dent of the Washington,D.C. corporate office.

The nonprofit founder

During his introductionofWreaths Across Americafounder and Maine busi-nessman Worcester,Odierno explained thehistory and evolution ofWreaths Across Americathroughout U.S. militarycemeteries and thanked

theman who brings holidaywreaths to ArlingtonNational Cemetery eachholiday season.“The work that Morrill

Worcester and WreathsAcross America does tohonor our Soldiers, ourveterans and our militaryfamilies is a shiningexample of the differenceone determined individualhas made in the supportof our military and theirfamilies, Odierno said.”

The comedian

Before officially acceptinghis award, Colbert, whowill be succeeding DavidLetterman in CBS’ latenight talk show slot, notedthat his family is loadedwith former Soldiers. Hisfather was an Army doctor,his brothers served andhis uncle was a memberof the 101st AirborneDivision on D-Day.“It’s an honor I don’t

deserve, but I will acceptit gratefully,” Colbert toldreporters before the tattoo.“My first reaction was Ican’t take that [award],I can’t do that, but I’mtaking this as a reminderof how much more therestill is to do.”The television person-

ality has done quite a bitfor the military includinga trip to Iraq’s CampVictory in 2009 for a weekof show tapings.“Stephen’s show has

become an iconic part ofAmerican culture; but moreimportantly, he has helpedto maintain the bond thatconnects our communitieswith our military – helpingto share the military storyand what it means to live alife of selfless service for ourservice members, familiesand veterans alike,” saidOdierno of Colbert’s con-tributions to the military.

The commissioner

Former Major LeagueBaseball CommissionerSelig once served in theArmy at Missouri’s FortLeonardWood from 1956through 1957. Fifty-nineyears later, the formerMilwaukee Brewers ownerand baseball executive washumbled by the award andimpressed with the tattooperformance.“Watching this [tattoo]

today makes me very emo-

tional,” Selig said after thetattoo as Soldiers waitedto get an autograph orpose for a picture with theformer MLB boss. “Theaward meant a great dealto me. I’ve often said it is aprivilege to be in a positionwhere you can do the kindof things like welcomingback veterans. Not only willwe continue to do that, butwe’ll have more of that inthe future.”Odierno said that

baseball and the Armyare perpetually inter-twined, both domesticallyand globally.“No matter where you

go, you’ll f ind MajorLeague Baseball reachingout to Soldiers, veterans,and their families,” hesaid. “Bud, your personalleadership has made a realdifference to all of us whoserve in uniform.”Following the tattoo

finale, Selig and Colbertmingled with The OldGuard Soldiers on theConmy Hall f loor toshake hands. Cellularphone flashes and pho-tographs were constantwhile Colbert jokinglyrecruited “Pershing’sOwn” band members forhis late night band andSelig talked baseball withservice members.The JBM-HH-based

Bioretention areasoffer more than greenscenery on JBM-HH

By Tiffany LeeEnvironmentalManagementDivisionJBM-HH

Directorate ofPublic Works

Dr i v i n g a r ou ndJBM-HH, you may havenoticed gardens planted indepressions andmedians.These are examples ofbioretention areas, wherestormwater runoff flowsand slowly settles into theground instead of beingcarried directly to storm-water sewers. Stormwaterin sewers flows directly tostreams and rivers withoutfilters or treatment. As aresult, pollutants in thestormwater, includingnutrients, chemicals,sediment, bacteria andtrash, also end up in ourlocal streams and riversand ultimately affectwater quality in theChesapeake Bay.Bioretention areas are

specially-designed basinsthat use plants and soil tofilter and absorb storm-water. As it f lows intothe bioretention area,stormwater runoff isslowed down and drainedthrough a filter bed con-taining layers of mulch,sand, soil, or other mediathat is planted with plantsand shrubs. Pollutants areleft behind or absorbedby plants, and thefiltered stormwater thendrains to groundwater orflows to the stormwatersewer system.Stormwater pollut-

ants are captured inbioretention areas in avariety of ways:• Sedimentation – Asstormwater runoffslows, sedimentparticles settle outand add to the soil inbioretention areas.

• Absorption –Stormwater runoffcontaining pollutantsis soaked up by soil,rather than enteringthe stormwater sewersystem. Absorptionleads to othermethods of capturingpollution, includingthose listed below.

• Adsorption–Dissolved pollutants,such as chemi-cals, nutrients andbacteria, adhere

to soil particles,allowing cleanerwater to drainto the soil layerbelow the basin.

• Microbes –Bacteria, nutrientsand chemicalsfrom stormwaterrunoff are brokendown by microbesin the soil, turningthem into lessharmful materials.

• Volatilization –Some chemicalsassociated withpetroleum, oil orgrease, evaporate asstormwater slowlyfilters through thebioretention area.

Bioretention areas use acombination of parts thatwork together to removepollutants. Different layersof soil and gravel promotedrainage. Gently sloping,grassy sides slow downstormwater runoff andfilter out large particles.The center of the basinis the bioretention area’slowest point and is plantedwith water-tolerant plants.In times of heavy rain, thecenter of the basin alsostores water that cannotbe absorbed immediately.Finally, using native plantsin the bioretention areareduces the need for pes-ticides and fertilizers,because the plants aremore suited to the localenvironment.You can find JBM-HH’s

bioretention areas justinside ofWright Gate andnext to theRadnorHeightsSubstation at Fort Myer;outside of the MemorialChapel at HendersonHalland behind the fitnesscenter parking lot andMarshall Hall at FortMcNair. Bioretentionareas combine form andfunction to help reducestormwater pollution aspart of a comprehensivestormwater managementplan. They are designedto suit local needs andcome in many shapesand sizes. Next timeyou come across one ofJBM-HH’s bioretentionareas, take a minute toenjoy the scenery andthe positive impact theyhave on the health of theChesapeake Bay.To repor t condi-

tions that could causestormwater pollutionor to get more involvedwith stormwater activi-ties at JBM-HH, callthe Env i ronmenta lManagement Divisionat 703-696-8055.
