*** Surface Warships 2012:

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets

In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world’s surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world’s main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

23 – 25 January, 2012, Hyatt Regency, Paris, France

*** “FREEDOM CENTER HOSTS 2,500 MILITARY TRAVELERS SINCE VETERANS DAY OPENING” Traveling Armed Forces Assisted at New Military Lounge in McNamara Terminal DETROIT, December 23, 2011 – Freedom Center, the new military lounge at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), has hosted more than 2,500 members of our Armed Forces and their dependents since its official opening on Veterans Day 2011. “Thanks to our great team of volunteers and the financial support of area corporations and private citizens, Freedom Center is providing much needed and deserved support to our men and women in uniform and their families.” said Ken Pratt, president of Michigan Armed Forces Hospitality Center, Inc., the non-profit organization which established Freedom Center. “We provide a warm welcome, a comfortable lounge area, free WiFi, hot and cold beverages, as well as invaluable personal assistance when needed. Although our normal hours are from six in the morning until nine at night, we have kept our doors open around the clock when troops have been stranded when flights have arrived late from overseas.” Located adjacent to Gate A43 in the McNamara Terminal, the 1,100 sq. ft. Freedom Center serves members of the Armed Forces and their dependents and is open to veterans as well. Pratt said that Freedom Center would not have been possible without the support of the Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) and a growing base of corporation donors, led by Meritor Defense. Other major financial donors include the Michigan Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association, the Masco Foundation, Cadillac Casting, Merrill Technologies Group, Oshkosh Defense, Pratt & Miller Engineering, Lapeer Industries, Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights, Raymond James & Associates, Rent-A-Center and the Arsenal of Democracy Chapter, Association of the United States Army. Valuable in-kind support has been provided by many local firms, including General Dynamics Land Systems, Marketing Associates, Delta Air Lines, Einstein Bros Bagels, Paradies Metro Ventures, Midfield Concessions, Host Marriott Services, Concessions International the Westin Hotel, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Home Depot and the Detroit Popcorn Company. “Since opening our doors, the support from the community has been outstanding,” Pratt said. “In addition to financial support from corporations and individuals, Freedom Center has benefited greatly from the personal assistance provided by the employees of Delta Air Lines, the Transportation Safety Administration and others members of the airport community. When we have special needs for travelers in distress, the DTW team has been there for us. We can’t thank them enough.” Additional information on how to make a financial contribution or become a volunteer is available on the organization’s website: www.MIfreedomcenter.org

*** The Surface Navy Association (SNA) Scholarship program is an annual activity that SNA is very proud to offer to our members’ dependent children and spouses for undergraduate and graduate education. The academic achievements of our scholars are impressive and our current year’s renewal GPA (for those asking for a second through fourth year of support) was 3.64.

An SNA Scholar receives an academic scholarship based on demonstrated leadership, community service, academic achievement and commitment to pursuing higher educational objectives. Our criteria require that an applicant be a child, stepchild, ward or spouse of a current SNA member who is a Surface Warfare Officer or Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist or Officers and Enlisted members of the Coast Guard who’ve earned a permanent Cutterman’s pin, with three years of sea time.

With humble beginnings in 1995, with one scholarship for $500, we now award over $120,000 per year to 60 total individuals. In fact, since 2002 we have provided nearly three quarters of a million dollars in scholarship support to our members and families.

This past year, SNA received over 50 applications and was able to award scholarships to 17 of these outstanding new applicants. With your help, we can continue to grow this exceptional program. SNA is currently accepting donations for the scholarship fund online at:

https://www.navysna.org/SNA/ScholarshipCCDonation.asp

The Surface Navy Association greatly values any donation and all donations are tax deductible as SNA is a 501(c) 3 organization. As an example of the financial clout we can have together, if every member gave just $25, it would be enough to award over 20 fully-funded new scholarships. This is an important way for us to invest in the futures of the families of our nation’s Surface Warriors.
