U.S. ARMY PHOTOS BY JESSICA DAMBRUCH The Class of 2022 turns tassels May 20 at the Kwajalein High School Davye Davis Multi-Purpose Room. CLASS OF 2022 TURNS TASSELS AT GRADUATION Friends, families, students, Marshallese traditional lead- ers and members of the local and national governments of the Republic of the Marshall Islands gathered at the Kwa- jalein High School Davye Da- vis Multi-Purpose Room for the graduation of the Class of 2022 on May 20. This year’s highly accom- plished class of 24 graduates included six Marshallese Ri- Katak students and many students who have lived on island for more than a de- cade. Several graduates are planning to pursue higher education with specific ca- reer goals and aspirations in mind.

Gerber said he had complete confidence
in the class because the island’s fami-
lies had so invested in their success. He
stressed that graduation was the begin-
ning of a new journey—one in which the 3 4
families and community on Kwajalein
who had helped raise the students would
continue to play an important role.
“Thank you so much, for what you all
do to raise the kids,” Gerber said. “It real-
ly takes an island. It takes great families.
I am so grateful for each one of you and
what you’ve done for these kids. They
will still need your support in every way
when they go from here. It will be dif-
ferent—they will need encouragement,
instead of an alarm clock, in some cases,
but you’ll be there for them.”
After the graduates turned tassels,
they left the MP Room in much the same
way they entered it on the first day of
their senior year—dancing—and head-
ed out into the courtyard to meet the
loved ones and friends who had come to
wish them well and to help them make
their next big steps into the future.

REMEMBERING DAN ADLER Kwajalein is known as the boomerang, the rock, paradise. You arrive on the is- land expecting to learn to love island time, soak up the sun, bask in the salty ocean. What ends up being surpris- ing—although it’s not to anyone who has lived there for any amount of time— is how quickly and easily you develop friendships. And even more surprising and pleasant is when those friendships grow into something more, and before you know it your family has grown. Kwaj Family—the unexpected gift from the Marshall Islands. That was my experience on Kwajalein with the Adlers. I was fresh out of college with a degree in Communications and someone 6,000 miles away decided to take a chance on me and hired me as the Associate Editor of the Hourglass at USAG-KA. I didn’t know when I stepped off the plane on Kwajalein in 2009 and met Dan Adler, the managing editor of the Hourglass, that he would become such an import- ant person in my life. Dan was close to retirement age when we started working together. I had as- sumed at the time that he had been in the journalism business his whole life. He had in fact only worked supporting the Hourglass during his Kwaj years. He was part of the team recognized with the U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Keith L. Ware communications awards in 2000 and 2003—a significant honor that not many contractors received. He was a colorful and masterful writer. His opinion piec- es were passionate, informed, and often times fiery. He wasn’t as eloquent in real life as he was on paper. When it came to his pas- sion for life, his work, and those he cared about, he wore those emotions on his sleeve. Sometimes those emotions led to newspaper boxes being kicked around the office in a flurry or a “love tap” to a fil- ing cabinet. It always came with a lesson. Dan shared every part of managing the media services department with me. The good, bad, and the exasperating. I This week the island community fondly remembers Dan Adler, former managing editor of was a year out of college, and he was a The Kwajalein Hourglass.

Saturday, May 28, 2022 / Volume 63 Number 22 10 The Kwajalein HourglassNaming Comis n anouces Army base name recomtnidas
Washington, D.C.—The commission
tasked to provide Congress new names
for U.S. military bases and other Depart-
ment of Defense assets originally named
in commemoration of the Confederacy
and its leaders announced its recom-
mendations for nine Army installations.
The Naming Commission also re-
viewed Fort Belvoir, Virginia, originally 1 2 3
named after U.S. Army Maj. Gen. An-
drew A. Humphreys in 1917 and renamed
in 1935 after the Colonial-era plantation
that once stood on its grounds. The com-
missioners determined that Belvoir does
not meet the criteria provided in the
2021 National Defense Authorization
Act for a renaming recommendation but
will recommend the Department of De-
fense conduct its own naming review of
the post.
The Commission visited the installa-
tions last year for listening sessions with 4 5 6
military commanders and community
leaders to gain feedback on their pro-
cess, preferences for new names and an
understanding of local sensitivities.
Over the course of those initial ses-
sions and a public comment period via
its website that closed Dec. 1, 2021, the
commission received more than 34,000
submissions related to naming activi-
ties, which included for consideration
3,670 unique names of individuals, lo-
cations, values and more. Between Jan- 6 7 8
uary and April, the Naming Commis-
sion developed a short-list of potential
