Garrison hosts Suicide Stand-down Day
By Lisa R. Rhodes
Staff Writer
In the past 14 months, six service mem-
bers who were assigned to Fort Meade com-
mitted suicide: three Soldiers, two Marines
and one Sailor.
Five of the suicides occurred this year,
although not all were on the installation.
“It’s mind-boggling to have one suicide,
never mind six,” said Navy Cmdr. Marivic
Fields, director of Behavior Health Patient
Management and a licensed social worker
at Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center
and interim health promotion officer for the
installation’s Community Health Promo-
tion Council.
To educate the community about the risks
for suicide and reinforce the importance of
suicide prevention, the installation held its
first community Suicide Stand-down Day
on Sept. 26 at the Post Theatre.
The mandatory event was organized
by the garrison, the Community Health
Promotion Council, Religious Support
Office, the Directorate of Planning, Train-
ing, Mobilization and Support, and the
Installation Safety Office.
More than 700 service members, Depart-
ment of the Army civilians, and garrison
leaders attended a series of four 90-minute
seminars on suicide and suicide preven-
tion.
“The stand-down created not only an
awareness of the problem of suicide, but it

Military retirees celebrated at Appreciation Day
By Lisa R. Rhodes
Staff Writer
About 835 people attended this year’s 37th
annual Retiree Appreciation Day, making it
the most successful turnout in its history.
“I think the event was marketed very well,”
said Anna Taylor, Fort Meade’s Retirement
Services officer.
The daylong event, held Friday at McGill
Training Center, was sponsored by Garrison
Commander Col. Edward C. Rothstein and
the installation’s Retirement Services Office.
More than 15 organizations, including the
Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs,
the Anne Arundel County Department of
Aging and Disabilities, Fort Meade’s Army
Community Service and Army Substance
Abuse Program, distributed information
about programs and services.
The Francis Scott Key Chapter of the
Association of the United States Army pro-
vided complimentary coffee and Danish.
A seating area was also made available for
participants.
“[The event] allows retirees to come and
obtain the most current information and
updates on retiree benefits and programs,”
Taylor said. “A lot of people also reconnect
with people they haven’t seen in a while.”
