Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point Set to Re-Open on May 25, 2024 After $3.5 Million Renovation

May 23, 2024

by Charleston Daily 0 Comments

Museum expansion on USS Yorktown, funded by the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership, focuses on interactive storytelling about nation’s greatest heroes

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – The Congressional Medal of Honor Society debuted the fully renovated Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point with a day of ceremonies and events recognizing the transformative $3.5 million renovation project that highlights the legacy, leadership and core values of the nation’s highest award for military valor.

The Museum on the USS Yorktown, which opens to the public on May 25, tells the story of the Medal of Honor and its Recipients through modern immersive exhibits and never-before-seen artifacts meant to inspire personal and collective action by visitors. The experience takes visitors on a journey from the military training that each of the Recipients, along with all Service Members, received, through the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War and the Global War on Terror.

At each stop, visitors will share in the stories of the Recipients and learn about the values behind their acts of heroism. Information about the Museum renovation can be found here and here.

“This is a Museum about extraordinary service and sacrifice,” said Britt Slabinski, a Medal of Honor Recipient and president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. “But it’s also a Museum that highlights the potential in all of us to do heroic things in our everyday lives. Our hope is that visitors will walk in as one person and walk out a slightly different person.”

The Medal of Honor Museum fits seamlessly into the overall Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, which includes the Yorktown, the USS Laffey destroyer and a Vietnam firebase experience. The Medal of Honor Museum was designated by Congress under the National Medal of Honor Memorial Act in 1999 as a National Medal of Honor Site.

“We are excited and honored to welcome our visitors to the completely reimagined Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point,” said Allison Hunt, executive director of the Patriots Point Development Authority. “The stories of extraordinary courage and selfless service told within the museum will be a powerful resource in supporting our important mission to promote American pride and patriotism.”

The renovations of the Museum were funded by the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership, which is developing a national leadership program based on the core values of the Medal: courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, patriotism and citizenship. Besides a digital-based curriculum, the Center for Leadership plans to build a $75 million conference center and values-based immersive experience on land adjacent to the Yorktown.

“Our Board of Directors agreed to fund the reimagined Medal of Honor Museum because we firmly believe the stories that are told within its walls will provide visitors with a deeper sense of what it means to be an American and provide inspiration for those who visit,” said Thomas Mundell, president and chief executive officer of the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership. “Not everyone is called to the extremes of military service as the Recipients were, but this Museum shows that leadership can be nurtured and that we all have the ability to be heroes in our homes and our communities.”

The museum’s design, by M. Catton & Co. of Le Mars, Iowa, encourages physical interaction and personal introspection, preserving the legacy of the 3,536 awards of the Medal and the 19 dual Recipients.

New artifacts will include:

The New Testament & Psalms and The Gospel of St. John that Medal of Honor Recipient Robert Maxwell carried in World War II.
Vietnam War Recipient James Fleming’s aviator gloves and the navigational analog computer” he used during the war as a helicopter pilot.
World War I Recipient Dwite Schaffner’s Medal of Honor and American Expeditionary ID.

The unveiling of the new Museum was preceded by a panel discussion on leadership and values in the Stover Theater on the Yorktown that featured Recipients Harvey “Barney” Barnum and Ryan Pitts, along with Tonya M. Matthews, Ph.D., CEO and President of the International African American Museum in Charleston. The panel was moderated by Leyla Gulen of Fox24 News.

Recipients also visited Summerville High School, as part of the Society’s Character Development Program, which is a values-based curriculum for grades K-12.

The Museum opens at a time when there is renewed attention to the Medal of Honor. In March, the Society hosted a gathering of nearly 30 organizations around the country with ties to the Medal of Honor in hopes of amplifying the importance of the Medal and its core values. The Society will be the centerpiece of this in terms of coordination and promotion.

Joint Base Charleston welcomes home Airmen from first AFFORGEN XAB deployment

May 22, 2024

by Charleston Daily 0 Comments

By Airman First Class Carl Good, 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. – Joint Base Charleston celebrated the return of its Airmen from the inaugural Air Force Force Generation Expeditionary Air Base deployment, also known as AFFORGEN XAB.

Recently, JB Charleston welcomed back 250 Airmen from Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, who played integral roles in the success of the new Air Force deployment model.

Their contributions were pivotal as they served as the command-and-control and establishment force elements for the XAB.

“This is a historic moment for the Air Force and Joint Base Charleston,” said Col. Adeleke Ekundayo, 628th Mission Support Group commander and XAB commander. “It is the first time we have deployed as a team and returned as a team under the new AFFORGEN model.”

AFFORGEN represents a transformative shift in Air Force readiness and deployment, operating on a 24-month cycle: reset, prepare, certify, deploy. This cycle enhances predictability for commanders and bolsters Airmen’s preparedness for future conflicts. Airmen undergo thorough training in advance, ensuring smooth transitions, skill enhancement, and readiness for action.

At the heart of the deployment, JB Charleston Airmen served as the central hub overseeing and managing the operations of the XAB. Additionally, JB Charleston was instrumental in establishing all essential elements for the base’s functionality, from facilities to personnel, ensuring operational readiness and effectiveness.

In celebrating the return of these dedicated Airmen and their crucial role in advancing the AFFORGEN deployment model, JB Charleston underscores the Air Force’s commitment to readiness and adaptability in an ever-evolving global landscape.

“It has been more than 20 years since the Air Force has changed the way it presents and generates forces,” Ekundayo said. “This first AFFORGEN deployment is a step toward creating a capable and sustainable force for the future warfighting mission.”

by Charleston Daily 0 Comments

GovCIO, a technology company government contractor with more than $1 billion in government contracts, officially opened its first Charleston office and high-tech lab strategically located less than a mile away from Joint Base Charleston and U.S. Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic.

A ribbon cutting and reception was held recently at 1217 Remount Road in North Charleston with members of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce, AFCEA Low County Chapter and other stakeholders in attendance.

The location will provide a convenient location for the GovCIO team to host technical demonstrations for its government partners and provide a flexible space to collaborate on existing and future projects, said Emyly Hall, senior communications and marketing specialist with GovCIO.

“The primary drivers behind this office location were proximity to NIWC/Joint Base Charleston and the ability for the building to contain both an office and a lab capable of providing a significant amount of power for our highly-technical development projects,” James Buckingham, vice president, Defense Services Group at GovCIO, said.

The GovCIO office will support up to 14 employees with several more working at lab stations, Hall said. Twelve employees relocated to the Charleston area as new hires and GovCIO anticipates adding several new full-time positions to the Noth Charleston office as the company continues to grow.

“This move signals our enduring commitment to our partners, including the U.S. Naval Information Warfare Center and we are excited about this next chapter and the expanded opportunities this new office brings,” stated John Anderson, GovCIO sector president, National Security Services, in a press release.

Over the past year, GovCIO has grown to over 3,000 employees globally, with annual revenue increasing by 17%. The company has contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Postal Service, U.S. Military, IRS, NASA, the National Institute of Health and more.

On May 2, the company announced it was one of five awardees on a five-year $1.5 billion total value contract with the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) Judiciary IT Services (JITS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide a full range of IT services, technical and management expertise, information technology solutions and capabilities and nationwide judiciary support.

Three Clemson astrophysicists get NASA Data Analysis Program grants totaling over $1 million

May 20, 2024

by Charleston Daily 0 Comments

Three Clemson University astrophysicists have been awarded more than $1 million combined through the NASA Astrophysics Data Analysis Program to study active galactic nuclei, their obscuring material, and variability and periodicity.

Pablo Penil del Campo and Nuria Torres-Alba are postdoctoral fellows and Stefano Marchesi is an adjunct professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

The grants, which are highly competitive, support investigations focused on the analysis of publicly available archival data from NASA space astrophysics missions.

Twin black holes. — Pablo Pencil del Campo is studying the quasi-periodic oscillations of blazers. His research may potentially uncover evidence of the existence of of a binary supermassive black hole. Photo credit: NASA

Four blazers

Penil will study quasi-periodic oscillations in blazars, a type of galaxy powered by supermassive black holes. Blazars appear bright in all forms of light, including gamma rays — the light with the highest level of energy — when one of the jets of matter happens to point almost directly toward Earth.

In this study, he will use observations from NASA missions spanning more than 30 years to study four blazars that show signs of periodic, long-term (2-4 year) emissions in their gamma-ray band. Theoretical models have been proposed to explain the physical mechanisms responsible for these possible periodicities, including the presence of a binary system of supermassive black holes. In this project, Penil will use NASA archival data to search for similar periodic behavior in X-ray and ultraviolet optical bands.

“We aim to provide a detailed and complete picture of how and why these blazars vary over time,” Penil said.

Potentially, the results of the study may uncover evidence of the existence of a binary supermassive black hole at the center of one of these blazars, which would offer valuable insights into the galaxy’s evolution.

Chaotic environment around black holes

Artist's concept of an X-flare from the supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy called Markarian 335.

Marchesi and Torres-Alba will use publicly available observations from a variety of NASA’s X-ray telescopes to study the chaotic environment surrounding supermassive black holes that exist at the center of each galaxy. Their research will focus on those nearest the Earth in the “local universe.”

The environment around the huge black holes is made of gas that is rotating around and infalling on the black holes themselves, feeding them, increasing their mass and producing light and energy in the process. However, very little is known about this environment — from its structure and density to the exact distance to the black hole.

The gas is so dense that it absorbs the optical light, making these sources impossible to detect with optical telescopes. X-ray photons that are produced in close proximity to the supermassive black holes, while invisible to the human eye, are so energetic that they can penetrate the dense gas and be observed by space telescopes. That makes it possible for researchers to study and characterize the supermassive black hole properties. However, despite escaping, the X-ray photons are affected by the gas in a way that changes based on the gas properties (density and structure), which also allows scientists to study all its unknown characteristics.

How efficiently black holes grow

Marchesi’s research uses these X-ray observations to more deeply study the density of the material, which is thought to be linked to how much these black holes can feed and grow. Torres-Alba uses multi-epoch observations to see how the material changes with time.

Marchesi and Torres-Alba will study how efficiently black holes grow their mass by eating the gas that surrounds them and how the energy they produce in this process affects the environment both in their proximity and at much larger distances.

“This research will allow us to obtain a unique understanding of what type of processes are taking place in close proximity to some of the most extreme objects in our universe: black holes that weigh hundreds of millions of times the mass of our sun,” Marchesi said.

The sources the researchers picked for their analysis have been selected from much larger samples, using methods developed by Clemson alumni, who are part of the Clemson-INAF Compton Thick AGN Collaboration.

Novel machine-learning based method

Marchesi’s sample was gathered using a novel, machine-learning based method developed by Ross Silver, a former graduate student at Clemson. Torres-Alba’s sample was drawn from work of Xiurui Zhao, a former Clemson graduate student, who looked at data from more than 100 sources and, using multiple telescopes, found many of them to be variable. Torres-Alba will look at all available observations from those sources, creating the largest sample of known obscuration-variable supermassive black holes to date.

“We still don’t know if obscuration variability is common or not. This study will be one of the greatest insights into black hole structure,” said Torres-Alba.

Both projects will use over 20 years of observations with X-ray telescopes such as Chandra, NuSTAR, Swift-XRT and XMM-Newton, whose public catalogs contain hundreds of thousands of sources with X-ray data.

“This means we entered an era where we need effective selection criteria to extract from these catalogs those sources that are most likely to be ideal for our analysis and perform dedicated time-consuming analysis on just them, since it would be unfeasible to do so on all the known sources,” Marchesi said.

The studies by Marchesi and Torres-Alba will allow researchers to assess the reliability of the method developed at Clemson.
