Palm City’s Don Wells is a bit of living military history. He appears to be the last Navy pilot to ever get wings for training on the single-engine, propeller attack-fighter plane. That was in De-cember 1962 in a Douglas A-1 Skyraider. He flew his training flights out of the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. “I was like, ‘I got to fly this (expletive) prop and

everyone else is flying jets,’” he said. OK, he wasn’t all that excited about getting the

honor. It was 1962, after all. Prop fighters were losing their place in warfare, although Wells flew combat missions in them during the Vietnam War. He did finally get his jet — the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. “The jet is much easier,” Wells said. “When you

add throttle to the prop airplane, it wants to turn upside down.” Military propeller-driven aircraft were first used

for reconnaissance. Unarmed pilots would fly over enemy positions and make reports. Accord-ing to numerous historical reports, air war seems to have started in August 1914. A Serbian pilot fired a handgun midair at an Austro-Hungarian aviator. That was a game changer. Within months of that incident, military air-

planes were getting machine guns. The dogfight was born. By and large, World War I dogfights

Staff photo by Patrick McCallisterPalm City’s Don Wells holds a bit of Navy history. Among his many piloting credits, Wells was the last Navy pilot to do a training flight to get wings for single-engine fighter planes. He has the pilot log that records the event. That training flight was in a Douglas A-1 Skyraider, which was nicknamed the ‘Spad,’ jokingly referring to the age of the plane. SPAD were French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I.

IMPORTANTNUMBERS ...

Veteran Voice is a weekly publication designed to provide information to and about veterans to veterans and to the broader community. Veterans are an integral part of their Florida communities, which currently have individual organizations of their own, such as the Veter-ans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Vietnam Veterans of America and many other groups with a nar-row focus, but no convenient way to connect to a wider population of veterans and to the community in general within a limited geographic area, their community. The mission of Veteran Voice is to publish a weekly source of information that will provide, in one place, a listing of resources available to veterans, articles about changes in policies or organizations affecting veterans and events of interest to veterans as well as articles about veterans of interest to the general public. Veteran Voice LLC is organized as a partnership of experienced newspaper executives with an interest in veterans and in the communities of Florida veterans and friends. Veteran Voice is a start-up intended to ad-dress a perceived lack of information readily available to veterans on programs and policies affecting them and objective reporting of veteran affairs to the public.To our knowledge, and based on comments from lead-ers of local veterans organizations, there was no media or website currently meeting this need until the launch of Veteran Voice. We hope you agree, and will support this publica-tion with your subscription. Without subscriptions there will be a limited number of people we can help, without which this mission will not be realized. As part of our commitment to supporting local veteran communities, we will donate 10 percent of our profits each quarter to qualified veteran charities recommended by you, our readers and subscribers.

VETERAN VOICE • THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE • MARCH 14, 2014 • 3

It’s the four-letter word on many a returning veteran’s mind — jobs.How to find one? Whom to con-

tact? Luckily for Treasure Coast vets, there is a sizable number of businesses actively seeking to hire them right now.Don’t believe it? Just check

out veteranownedbusinesses.com — in Brevard County alone, there are nearly 100 businesses seeking vets (see http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/fl/brevard). And the sites ending in /indianriver, /stlucie and /martin are bursting with job listings as well.That particular website offers

the additional bonus of veterans owning the business that is look-ing to hire other vets. Founded by Brian St. Ours, of

Melbourne, veteranownedbusi-ness.com is nationwide — there are more than 20,000 small businesses signed on, “with more than 1,000 signing up every day,” St. Ours said.It’s a “win-win,” St. Ours said

– as the website explains, “You can get your company’s profile potentially seen by millions of fellow veterans, government agen-cies, prime contractors, subcon-tractors, corporate purchasing departments and everyday con-sumers who strongly and proudly support veterans businesses and are right now looking for your products and services.”St. Ours said the website helps

business owners understand how to hire veterans under the nation-al VA’s Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment program. Busi-

ness owners can recoup up to 50 percent of the costs of the veter-an’s wages, training, lost produc-tion and other expenses while he or she is learning a new job (see http://bit.ly/1hJHV1C).And just as important, veterans

can get trained in a good job, with bosses who care about them. “We look at the VA’s program as

the high level, and we’re the low level,” he said. “There’s nothing sadder than a veteran who’s been out of work for a couple of years with no luck. We’re changing that.”St. Ours said a new website is

in the works, called veteranhire-veterans.com, which will provide a direct link between individual businesses and individual veter-ans. Right now, the website is in the building stages, but St. Ours has developed a solution for the vet needing a job right away.

“We did a random survey of our 20,000 businesses, and over-whelmingly — 97 percent — said they want to hire veterans.”Brian St. Ours, founder veter-

anownedbusiness.com

“I kept getting 20, 25 emails a day from people desperate-ly looking for work,” he said. “So what we did was set up a Facebook page (facebook.com/VeteranOwnedBusiness) as well as other social media, including Twitter and Pinterest.“We did a random survey of our

20,000 businesses, and over-whelmingly — 97 percent — said they want to hire veterans,” St. Ours said.There are plenty of civilian busi-

nesses looking for veteran em-ployees, too.One company that matches vet-

erans with jobs is CareerSource

translating military service into civilian terms.“In fact, just yesterday we helped

a veteran with his resume, and he wanted to put all his medals on it.“We said ‘that’s good,’ but let’s

go one better. Instead of saying you were awarded a commenda-tion medal, pull out the language from the citation itself — it’s bet-ter for people to understand why you got the award, rather than

were awkward affairs marked as much by the dangers of mechan-ical and engineering difficulties as they were by bullets. By World War II the propeller attack-fighter airplane was a sleek, dangerous creature to things in the air, and on the water and land. By the end of World War II,

the first jets were making their appearances. By the Korean War, jet fighters were coming into their own. Today aircraft such as the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18E/F Super Hornet rule the sky. Usu-ally. It turns out that they have their

limits. The American military might be

wading back into propeller attack fighters. Last February the Air Force bought propeller-driven attack planes for the first time in decades. The Air Force bought 20 A-29 Super Tucano planes from Embraer Defense & Security for its Light Air Support, LAS, pro-gram. Those planes are getting built in Jacksonville and will likely go to the Afghan military eventually. Embraer makes the Phenom 100 and 300 executive jets in Melbourne. There are numerous reports

that the A-29 has been used to support Navy SEALs on missions since perhaps 2009. Turns out that the propeller drive is good for the counterinsurgency, COIN, plane. Those are increasingly im-portant in an age when terrorism and insurgency are among the worst threats.

All this talk about COIN and Light Air Support is familiar to Wells. He was doing all that in the Skyraider over Vietnam. “For low flyovers, it was very,

very good,” he said. Wells was usually flying “road

recon.” “I’d fly low and look at all these

roads,” he said. And trash anything enemy on

them. “We were called road wreckies,”

he said. Wells went to the Navy reserves

in the late ‘60s, and ended up in the short-lived Air Barons, the U.S. Naval Reserve Tactical Flight Demonstration Team. It was based at the United States Naval Air Station Glenview. The team got official status in 1968. Its parent squadron disbanded in 1971. “It wasn’t like the ballet the Blue

Angels flew,” Wells said. “It was more like a stock-car race.” Wells, 75, is now writing a book.

The working title is “The Last Prop Pilot.” He said the book won’t be as

much about him, but about being part of the winding down of pro-peller combat flying in the 1950s to 1960s. Oh, remember that guy who

grumbled about getting stuck in a propeller attack-fighter when it seemed all others were getting jets? “I look back at it — I’m proud of

it, being older,” Well’s said. “At the time, I was young. I wanted to fly jets.”

Editor’s note: Normally, articles are not written in the first person, unless they are opinion pieces. In this case, Mary Kemper is the niece of the subject of this article.

Edward W. “Eddy” Kemper, of Port St. Lucie, is a pretty cool guy. Not just because he’s my favor-

ite uncle – plenty of other people think so, too. He’s connected to many people, in many ways, and has probably helped more by doing good things than can be counted.At 74, he’s fit and strong, defi-

nitely looking and acting much younger. He’s got a ready grin, and a keen gaze. He laughs a lot, but he doesn’t put up with non-sense. As the saying goes, he’s one tough hombre — with a heart of gold. He does nothing, and I mean nothing, halfway.He never stops — he’s constantly

in motion. If he’s not out doing something for someone, he’s busy at home with his lovely wife, my Aunt Peggy.

But he’s got a dream — and, typically, it’s a big one.It all started when he was 14

years old, and “stole” his first flight.As he’s telling me the story,

good career, tried and true.Coming up on April 9, a job fair

is slated at Indian River State College’s Chastain Campus in Stuart.It’s a joint event being conducted

by Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1041, Martin County, the United Way and Martin Coun-ty Business Development Board.“Right now, there are 33 to 35

businesses signed on (to attend),” said Frank Tidikis, treasurer of Chapter 1041. “We expect at least 40 on the day.“And, we’re looking at more than

80 jobs being offered,” he said.

CareerSource Research Coast will also host an upcoming job fair. Slated for April 23, at 201 S.W.

Flagler Ave., Stuart, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., companies will be recruiting people for positions in health care, trades, manufac-turing, retail, sales, engineering, warehouse positions and more. Every job-seeking veteran has

gone through the frustrating task of combing through online sites that promise much, and deliver little. Why is that?“Job-seekers can waste count-

less hours carefully composing cover letters to send in response to jobs posted online, only to finally deduce the truth: most resumes sent electronically via career sites never get read. Cor-porate recruiters can’t keep up with the volume of resumes they receive,” the website job-hunter.org states.So, what’s an out-of-work veter-

an to do? Get just a little creative. Job-hunter.org suggests non-tra-

ditional avenues, rather than the “big” outfits like Monster, Hot-Jobs and the like.“There’s a reason why humble

Craigslist.org is taking business away from the larger job websites — Craigslist is locally focused,” the website states. “It’s not so easy for job-seekers

on other continents to browse Craigslist job ads in your city and apply for them. They can do it, but why would they take the time? Craigslist continues to gain popularity with job-seekers and with recruiters because of its nar-row geographical focus.”Veterans looking for jobs should

know that veteran-owned busi-nesses — and civilian businesses eager to hire vets for their skills, dedication and loyalty — are nat-urals for them.All it takes is a connection.For more information on the job

Voice) runs Renegade Light Sport Aircraft.“I soloed by mistake,” he says,

laughing.“What happened was, my dad

flew, and his best friend had a plane.“Well, I thought I’d do a little

taxiing, nothing much, you know. All of a sudden, I’m eight to 10 feet in the air. Wow! So I kept going.

“Now I’m up, so I stayed up. After a little while, it was time to land, so I lined her up, swallowed hard, and let her down.Edward “Eddy” Kemper, Port St.

Lucie

“Now I’m up, so I stayed up. After a little while, it was time to land, so I lined her up, swallowed hard, and let her down.“Luckily, I didn’t hit anything.

I landed on (his dad’s friend’s) grass strip, which is now a dairy farm in Berwick (Pa.).“Growing up in Berwick, “there

was always someone, friends, neighbors, someone to fly with. And that’s how it started.”Thereafter, he studied for the

test, became certified, and flew as a student pilot — but then the Navy beckoned.He became a submariner in

1955, and he served until 1968. A nuclear specialist, he left the service at the rank of chief petty officer.(Kind of ironic that he went from

the depths of the ocean to the skies — but that’s him. There’s nothing he won’t try.)The Navy, and business, took all

his time for many years. Vari-ously, he drove a tractor-trailer, operated a maintenance busi-ness for convenience stores, and helped Aunt Peggy with a news-paper delivery service, among many other business ventures too numerous to mention.Along the way, he became in-

jured and sick, to the point that he was wheelchair-bound — and battled esophageal cancer — for several years. Give up? Negative. Not Uncle Ed.

He battled back, and won.In 1999, he got back into flying,

and joined the Experimental Avi-ation Association’s Chapter 908, based at the St. Lucie Interna-tional Airport, Fort Pierce. Soon thereafter, the cancer battle was fought, and won.Once again, he enjoyed flying.

His plane, a 2-Place AirBike, is somewhere between an UltraLight and a passenger-capable twin-en-gine.And that is where a sizable num-

ber of ordinary flyers goes — a plane big enough to be stable and

safe, but not too big to be expen-sive.And that’s where Uncle Ed’s

dream begins — with a revolu-tionary new engine, called the D-Motor. He is one of a small handful of the motor’s dealers.“If you know anything about

engines, which most people don’t, I’ll try and explain it,” he says.“There’s engines, and there’s en-

gines, which anyone who drives a car knows about. Some engines work more efficiently than others. Same with boats, same with cars.“This engine costs less, and

works better, than other engines.“This engine makes flying actu-

ally affordable.”How so?“Well, right now, the engine most

planes are equipped with, the Ro-tax, is inefficient in a lot of ways, and costs way too much to main-tain. No wonder people thinking about flying are put off.”He explains how the D-motor is

revolutionizing flying.“I’ll put it simply. And guys who

understand mechanics will defi-nitely know what I mean.“The D-Motor is a flathead, rath-

er than overhead. In an overhead engine, the valves are close to the pistons and cylinders. If a valve (messes) up, and breaks, pieces go into the cylinder and force the engine to seize up. Bang. The pilot goes down.

“In the D-Motor, a flathead, the valves are nowhere near the cylinder. If a piece breaks off, the engine still flies.”Overhead-style engines — still

the norm — are air-cooled, ver-sus the D-Motor, which is wa-ter-cooled.“Temperature is everything,” he

says. “When the throttle is wide open, like when you’re going up into the air, the difference be-tween idling, and open throttle, can be 100 degrees.“This puts a lot of stress on the

engine parts, and it can result in an engine failing.“The D-Motor relies on water,

where the temperature is much more stable, much more even.”Its design is “direct drive,” ver-

sus “reduction drive.” What this means: a plane with a reduction drive means a change of reduc-tion gears in an engine, required by the Federal Aviation Adminis-tration, every 450 hours, accord-ing to “Doc” Bailey. The D-Motor doesn’t need it — it has far fewer moving parts. The savings to fly-ers? “About $4,500,” Bailey said.It even runs on regular gas –

“Even 80 octane,” Uncle Ed says. Many light sport planes must rely on expensive aviation fuel.Most people view flying their own

light sport plane as beyond their

means.“Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong,”

Uncle Ed says.And we finally get to the essence

of his dream — a brand-new kind of business:“Let’s talk about the hypothetical

ex-sailor, or soldier, or police of-ficer, or fireman, or teacher, who always dreamed of flying.“What if they could show up at a

store, like Bass Pro, and be able to buy a plane like a boat?“They can walk in, pick out a

plane, get a trailer, figure out where to store it, get a manual, get access to help in getting certi-fied, learn how to train online, all in one place.”Bingo.“I want storefronts, where people

who want to fly, can do it as easi-ly as buying a boat,” he says.Any Floridian can relate to the

hassles of buying a boat. Uncle Ed argues, it can be just as easy, or easier, to buy a light-sport plane.“Listen, the economy isn’t always

going to be bad. Now is the time to get this kind of business going.“I’ve made a point out of going

up to people like cops, in dough-nut shops.“One time, I said to a guy, ‘If

you could afford a bass boat, you can afford a low-end light-sport plane.’“If you’ve got a garage, you can

put together a plane. Even in a spare room. It’s literally the same.”He’s right — you can even buy

a kit to build your own plane, and the EAA will help you. Every member is a qualified flyer, and every one wants to get people in the air.“What if you can drive to a store

and get a plane, the same way as a boat?” he says.“You walk in, you get your plane,

your trailer, your insurance, the same as a boat. Why wouldn’t you go for it?“You can park your plane in

your yard the same as your boat. It’s that easy.”At this point, I’m convinced.Again — not because Uncle Ed

is my favorite uncle, but because what he wants seems right.And Uncle Ed has way of getting

what he goes after.

“My dad had Alzheimer’s disease for years, and Vivian and I took care of him in our home. A friend told me how Treasure Coast Hospice can help. They provided Dad’s medications, a wheelchair, a shower chair and oxygen. The RN and hospice aide showed us their love and patience as they helped us give Dad all the care he needed. We suggest calling Treasure Coast Hospice as early as possible.”

making less. Congress must give its full attention to helping turn the economy around by creating an environment where busi-nesses can expand more easily and create high-paying jobs that strengthen the middle class. One of the first things I did

after taking office was to embark on a jobs tour consisting of over 70 meetings, roundtables, and “Congress At Your Company” events with local business lead-ers and workers. After a year of discussions, I have used my previous private sector experience and taken the many ideas from these conversations to shape a plan for job growth in the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. My plan consists of common sense, pro-growth policies that allow new businesses to gain a solid foothold in a tough economy and give existing businesses the confi-dence to expand and prosper. The first issue my plan address-

es is the need to make the U.S. tax code competitive again. Amer-ica’s corporate tax rate is the highest in the world. The United States has lost too many jobs to countries with lower taxes. Ad-ditionally, the complexity of the tax code unfairly burdens small businesses and middle-class fam-ilies, forced to use scarce time to decipher complex legalese, spend money to hire outside expertise, or simply lose out on credits and deductions. Streamlining the tax code by

lowering the overall tax rate and incentivizing new investment will help businesses create American jobs instead of relocating over-seas or laying off workers. Previously working as a CPA

at Deloitte & Touche and hav-ing started my own small en-vironmental company, I have seen firsthand the burden un-necessary regulations have on businesses. Too often outdated regulations do nothing but place drag on good companies or have an outsized impact on small businesses. I will encourage the Small Business Administration to

develop a list of existing regula-tions that unfairly burden small businesses and work to fix them. Further, I am working on legisla-tion to review old regulations for relevance in today’s marketplace. Finally, America must reinvest

in our country to create a path to sustained growth. Investing in America starts with rehabili-tating our infrastructure, which businesses need to move goods, workers need to get to work, and our increasingly connected society needs to exchange in-formation. It means revitalizing our education system so that all Americans —whether newly grad-uated, mid-career, or returning from serving our nation overseas — have the skills they need in today’s marketplace. We must in-vest in research and development as well as green energy initiatives to keep the United States at the forefront of technology innovation and to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Instead of govern-ing from crisis to crisis without any long-term vision, Congress must once again think ahead and make the smart investments that brought our nation to greatness and will do so again. With mul-tiple major research institutes, a growing manufacturing sector, a vibrant tourism industry, and excellent educational centers and institutes, Florida’s 18th District is home to a variety of businesses and industries that will prosper from these investments. The bottom line is that nothing

will get done unless we work to-gether. Strengthening our work-force, growing our economy, in-vesting in America and reducing the deficit will help us pass on a brighter future for our children and grandchildren. We must not let our political differences get in the way of doing what is best for our great country. As your elected representative, I am committed to putting the success of the United States and the American people above all else. For more information on Con-

gressman Murphy’s plan for jobs, visit www.PatrickMurphy.house.gov/jobsplan.

Stuart, FL [email protected] • www.DrSohl.com

At his implant & cosmetic dental practice in Stuart, Florida, Dr. Sohl believes in the concept of dental facial aesthetics. He is committed to creating beautiful smiles that harmonize facial features with comprehensive preventative, restorative, and transformative dentistry. In fact, smile transformations in JUST ONE DAY are commonplace. The benefits of utilizing the latest technologies to provide min-imally invasive (precise)computer guided dental implant placement and naturally strong, beautiful Zirconia implant supported teeth are a predictable, long lasting result.

“Consideration of dental facial esthetics has changed my treatment planning method enabling me to provide patients with the results they have envisioned,” states Dr. Sohl.

Road to Victory Military Museum honors veteran awarded four Bronze Star medals

Tom Brokaw writes in his book, “The Greatest Generation” about the men and women who fought so valiantly during WWII and whose numbers are dwindling daily. Despite great odds and in unimaginable conditions, men like Gene Barry, age 90, of Jen-sen Beach fought for freedom on foreign soil. Even though Gene has been awarded four Bronze Star Medals, he downplays his actions and valor. Like many other veterans,

Gene doesn’t really like to talk about WWII and his experiences. Brokaw writes in “The Greatest Generation,” “As they now reach the twilight of their adventurous and productive lives, they remain, for the most part, exceptionally modest. They have so many sto-ries to tell, stories that in many cases they have never told before, because in a deep sense they didn’t think that what they were doing was that special, because everyone else was doing it too.” But when you talk to him and

read the letter from Maj. Gen. Wade H. Haislip detailing why he was awarded the Bronze Star, Gene’s heroic action is crystal clear. Gene served in the U.S. Army

from October 1943 to October 1945 and was in the D-Day inva-sion at Normandy. “We lost a lot of guys going in

there. There were eight or 10 guys with me that were killed,” he remembers. “You couldn’t see the sky for all the airplanes and bombing overhead,” Gene said. Gene and his friend and neigh-

bor, Jerry Ramos, recently visited the Road to Victory Military Mu-seum and talked about the war and in particular one battle in Brion, France on Sept. 8, 1944. Gene was with the 2nd Platoon,

Troop C, on road patrol in a ¼

ton truck with a .30 caliber ma-chine gun. In the early hours of the morning, the Americans en-countered an enemy convoy and set several of the enemy vehicles on fire. The enemy troops fled their

burning vehicles but then de-ployed along the sides of the road and proceeded on foot to attack the American outpost. In a letter of commendation

that accompanied the Bronze Star Medal, dated Oct. 31, 1944, Haislip described Gene’s actions: “Without knowledge of the

strength of the flanking force, you moved in rapidly and attacked them vigorously with your .30 calibre machine gun causing the enemy to flee. By your initiative and aggressive action, you pre-vented the outpost from being cut off and surrounded by an enemy

force later learned to be approxi-mately 200 men strong.” Michael Roberts, president

of the Road to Victory Military Museum in Stuart, commented that veterans like Gene Barry are exactly the reason the museum exists today. “Our mission is to honor and

pay tribute to all the brave men and women who have and are presently serving our country in the Armed Forces. We commend Mr. Barry for his bravery and thank him for his remarkable service.” Gene has three more Bronze

Star Medals, and his European African Eastern Service Medal. Gene is a member of the VFW

Post 10066 and the American Legion Post 126 in Jensen Beach and the Moose Lodge in Stuart. He is originally from Larksville, Pa., and worked for the Bud-

weiser Brewery in Newark, N.J., for 32 years before retiring. He has lived in Jensen Beach for 21 years and was married for 66 years; his wife died in February 2013. He has three children, sev-en grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. The Road to Victory Military

Museum is located at 319 Styp-mann Blvd. in Stuart. They are open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment for schools, veterans groups or spe-cial events. They have an impres-sive collection of mobile transport as well as artifacts and items of military history. Their annual fundraiser is the Stuart Air Show, which will take place Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. You can learn more about the Road to Victory Military Muse-um on its website, www.roadtovic-torymilitarymuseum.org or phone (772) 334-2990.
