Coast Guard brings couple together

While serving in the United States Coast Guard, Brian
Costello was introduced to a
female Coast Guard Seaman
who was looking for a church
to attend. That's how Brian
and Samantha Costello met.
Brian was stationed on
board a Coast Guard Patrol
Boat and she, Samantha, at
a small boat station. After
being introduced by another
Seaman on a Saturday, they
attended church together on
Sunday, and, as Brian said,
they have been together
since. They were married
in 2003 and now have two
children.
Samantha is originally
from Manchester, N.J. but
lived in Florida for six years
where she graduated high
school in Inverness. She became interested in the Coast
Guard while in high school
after visiting the Coast
Guard Airstation in Clearwater, Fla. After receiving
a recruiting brochure, she
prayed and decided that it
was her calling to join. Her
parents signed consent for
her to join the Coast Guard
at age 17.
Brian joined the Coast
Guard on Sept. 11, 2001.
He said he grew up hearing
his father, Ed Costello, talk
about his time in the Coast
Guard and felt a need to
serve his country.
"I wanted to serve in a
way that was more then just
training and preparing for
war," Brian said.
Brian served six and a half
years in the Coast Guard.
After serving four years,
Samantha was discharged to
stay home with the couple's
new born daughter. Brian
remained in the Coast Guard
for several more years and
worked a lawn care business
full-time on the side to supplement their income.
While serving in the
Coast Guard, Samantha's
rank was Yeoman Second
Class/Petty Officer Second
Class. Yeoman was the 'rate'
which is what her job specialized in, she said. Brian's
rank was AMT3, Aviation
Maintenance Technician.
Brian was stationed in
Galveston, Houston and
Mobile during active duty.
He was born in Mobile
while his father was stationed there, and his daughter was also born in Mobile
while he and Samantha were
stationed there.
Brian is a graduate of
Ouachita High School. He
MPD Officer Ford served

S g t .
Frazier
Ford of the
Malvern
Police Department
served in
the
U.S.
Army from
1988
2008. He
began his
military
career
at
his home
in Maryland.
He
enlisted in
Feb. 1988
and went to
boot camp
in Ft. Benning, Ga. "I graduated in
June, and from there, I went
to Schweinfurt, Germany
for two years," Ford related.
"From there I went back to
Ft. Stewart in Georgia, the
39th Armored Division."
In 1990 Ford was deployed to Kuwait. "We got
activated some time in the
summer of '90, and we
were on the ground by September in Saudi Arabia," he
stated. "We were there for
9 or 10 months," he added.
The mission was Desert
Storm and Desert Shield,
Ford said. "We were there
to liberate Kuwait [from
Iraq]." Ford also stated that
the U.S. accomplished that
mission.
Ford was activated four
times. In 2000 or 2001, he
was activated again to train
in Texas in the event that he

time that Saddam Hussein
was in power in Iraq, Ford
said that he was activated
again for a brief period.
attended Henderson State
University before joining
the Coast Guard in 2001. He
received his A&P License
(Airplane Mechanic License)
after being discharged from
the Coast Guard. He is currently employed at Dessault
Falcon Jet in Little Rock.
Samantha received leadership and management
training prior to being promoted to Petty Officer Second Class. She completed a
few CLEP exams for college
credit while on active duty.
After being discharged, she
took several education courses. She returned to school
four years later and received
her Registered Nurse Certification three years ago. She
recently received a Bachelor
of Science in Nursing degree. She is currently employed at Encore Healthcare
and Rehabilitation as a Registered Nurse.
Brian received several
awards after he saved the life
of a co-worker who suffered
a heart attack. He received
the Workplace Hero Award
which was presented to him
by Arkansas Governor Mike
Beebe. He was also awarded
the Lifesaver Hero Award
among other awards for his
courageous act during the
emergency situation. When
the co-worker was found unresponsive, Brian instructed
other co-workers on what to
do to assist. He and another
co-worker were able to use
a defibrillator to stabilize
the patient until he could
be transported to a hospital.
The co-worker was able to
return to work a short time
after the attack.
Although Samantha isn't
originally from Hot Spring
County, she said her hometown will be wherever she
and Brian are. The Costellos
currently live in the Magnet
Cove area.
“Greater love has
no one than this,
than to lay down

Like father, like son
Costons share military experience
By JOEL L. SULLIVAN III
Staff Writer
Military service is sometimes a generational employment. It is with Glen and Brian Coston. Glen Coston graduated Magnet
Cove High School in 1954. Shortly thereafter
he joined the Army National Guard. “I was
in Little Rock at Cetnral High in 1957,” he
remembered. “I was there for the duration.
I separated [from the Guard] there and went
right back into the regular Army in June 1958,”
Coston asserted. They sent me to Ft. Chaffee
for three months and I was deployed to Korea.
I was in Korea for 13 months and they brought
me back to Ft. Lewis, Wash.,” he said. Coston
added, “We were a rapid deployment outfit,
so I was gone all the time. Marcille [Coston’s
wife] got tired of that, so that ended my active
service,” he said with a hearty chuckle. “So I
got out in June 1961. We had the post-Korean
G.I. Bill, so I was able to go to Henderson and
get my degree.”
Coston got his physics and math degree
at Henderson and took specialized courses
at Michigan State in astronomy, Southwest
Oklahoma University for physics and chemistry, and Sam Houston University for more
astronomy, he shared. He has taught or served
in the administration of three area schools,
including principal at Ouachita and Superintendent at Magnet Cove.
In 1973 after a 12 year hiatus, Coston
went back into the National Guard. “I went
back as an NCO (non-commissioned officer) in chemical and then moved into operations. I was in Mena and DeQueen for several

Brian Coston
years. Then the commander pulled me back
to Malvern,” he said. “I was still in operations as a staff sergeant and we went to Ft.
Bragg,” he added. “I guess I did a decent job
because they called me at brigade (state level)
and asked me to be the operations sergeant. I
was made a sergeant major. I was there three
years, but a colonel came in at Malvern and
called me back here. I was made the command sergeant major at Malvern. I got to go
to the Command Sergeant Academy. That’s
the PhD. for a non-commissioned officer,”
Coston highlighted.
He continued, “Of course the highlight of
my career was when Brian got a helicopter
and was able to fly me to all of my posts in
Arkansas. I went to DeQueen, Mena, Tex-

The history of
Veterans Day
From the U.S. Department
of Veteran Affairs
World War I – known at the
time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty
of Versailles was signed on
June 28, 1919, in the Palace of
Versailles outside the town of
Versailles, France. However,
fighting ceased seven months
earlier when an armistice, or
temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into
effect on the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason,
November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of
“the war to end all wars.”
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed Nov.
11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with
the following words: "To us
in America, the reflections of
Armistice Day will be filled
with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the
country’s service and with
gratitude for the victory, both
because of the thing from
which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it
has given America to show
her sympathy with peace and
justice in the councils of the
nations…"
The original concept for
the celebration was for a day
observed with parades and
public meetings and a brief
suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.
The United States Congress officially recognized
the end of World War I when
it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with
these words:
“Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive,
sanguinary, and far reaching
war in human annals and the
resumption by the people of
the United States of peaceful
relations with other nations,
which we hope may never
again be severed, and
“Whereas it is fitting that
the recurring anniversary
of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises
designed to perpetuate peace
through good will and mutual
understanding between na-

arkana, Prescott, Arkadelphia and back to
Malvern. That was my last drill.” Coston retired with 27 year’s service.
Brian Coston, Glen’s younger son, enlisted in the Arkansas Army Natlional Guard in
1982, when he was 18 years old, and served
20 years until 2002. “I was in the Army National Guard through college, and I spent the
first couple of years out of college on active
duty. I went through infantry school and officer’s school. I was commissioned as a second lieutenant. My father got to pin my second lieutenant rank on me and was the first
to salute me,” the younger Coston stated. He
continued with a smile, “In the Army, and I
think in all branches of service, there is a tradition that the first non-commissioned officer
that salutes you, you pay him a dollar. So my
dad was the first to salute me, and I paied
him a dollar.”
“It was after officer’s school that I
went to infantry school in Fort Benning,
Ga. When I was finishing infantry school
as an officer, I had applied to helicopter
flight school, and I was accepted in to helicopter school, so I went to Fort Rucker, Ala.
to train as a helicopter pilot,” Brian reflected. He continued, “Many, many times I had
the opportunity to fly my father around. He
was an infantry non-commissioned officer,
a command sergeant major, so when I was
serving here in the Arkansas Army National
Guard, and we were on active duty at summer
camp, I would fly him around.”
Brian flew AH-1 Cobra gunships and
UH-1 Hueys. He was trained to fly Blackhawks but was never assigned to fly one,
he said. He also related that he flew to Haiti
for Operation Uphold Democracy, but not required to stay, though his unit was deployed
there.
Glen Coston said that he got to go many
places while he was in the Guard. He went to
Guatamala and Jungle Training School in Panama.and Honduras. In 1987 he went back to
Souel, Korea and spent three weeks to see how
they use computers in modern warfare. He said
that he was amazed at the progress that he saw,
since he had been there in the late 50’s.
Brian Coston trained to shoot missiles and
machine guns out of his gunship helicopter
at firing ranges and transported soldiers from
place to place during training. He retired in
2002 as a major.
tions; and
“Whereas the legislatures
of twenty-seven of our States
have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved
by the Senate (the House of
Representatives concurring),
that the President of the United States is requested to issue
a proclamation calling upon
the officials to display the
flag of the United States on
all Government buildings on
November 11 and inviting the
people of the United States
to observe the day in schools
and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate
ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.”
An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.
S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved
May 13, 1938, made the 11th
of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world
peace and to be thereafter
celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day
was primarily a day set aside
to honor veterans of World
War I, but in 1954, after World
War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers,
sailors, Marines and airmen
in the Nation’s history; after
American forces had fought
aggression in Korea, the 83rd
Congress, at the urging of
the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of
1938 by striking out the word
"Armistice" and inserting in
its place the word "Veterans."
With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on
June 1, 1954, November 11th
became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

VETERANS DAY SALUTE

Remembering Local salute
our veterans
The men and women
who defend the liberties and
freedoms of the countries
they represent hold a special place in people’s hearts
and an eternal spot in their
countries’ histories.
Any opportunity is a
good time to commemorate the bravery and selfless
deeds of military personnel, but certain prominent
holidays in November make
this an especially important
time to thank veterans for
their service.
November 11 is Veterans
Day in the United States
and Remembrance Day in
Canada. It’s also known as
Armistice Day in other parts
of the world. These holidays
honor all military veterans
who have provided service to their countries, and
that each falls on November 11 is no coincidence,
as the day commemorates
the anniversary of the end
of World War I on the 11th
hour of the 11th day of the
11th month of 1918.
Many places around the
world pause and remember
fallen veterans on November 11, but a good majority of Veterans Day and
Remembrance Day commemorative events focus
on past and current veterans
who are still alive. There
are many ways to honor the
military at home and abroad
in time for the November
festivities. The following
are just a handful of ways to
show appreciation for military men and women.
• When dining out, ask
your server if you can pay
the tab for a soldier or veteran you see in the restaurant.
• Attend a military parade with your family and
explain the significance of
the day to children in attendance.
• Draft letters and send
care packages to soldiers
currently in service far away
from home.
• Ask your company if
Veterans Day or Remembrance Day can be an observed holiday at your place
of business each year to pay
homage to servicemen and
women.
• Visit a military memorial in a city near you. Your
town also may have its own
memorial.
• Petition town officials
to erect a memorial if your
town does not already have
one. Such memorials can be
a source of inspiration for
your community.
• Support a military family in your town who may
be missing a loved one
stationed elsewhere. Make
meals, mow the lawn, help
with grocery shopping, or
simply provide emotional
support.
• Volunteer time at a vet-
erans’ hospital. You may be
able to read with veterans or
engage in other activities.
• Get involved with a
military support charity that
can provide much-needed
funds to struggling families
or disabled veterans.
• Have children speak
with veterans in your family, including grandparents,
uncles and aunts or even
their own parents. It can
help them gain perspective
on the important roles the
military plays.
• Ask a veteran to give a
commencement speech at a
school or to be the guest of
honor at a special function.
• Drive disabled veterans
to doctors’ appointments or
to run any errands.
• Support a local VFW
organization.
• Create a scrapbook for
a veteran in your life.
• Cheer for or thank military personnel each time
you see them.
• Visit the veterans’ portion of a nearby cemetery
and place poppies or other
flowers on the graves.
• Always keep the military on your mind and never forget those who have
served and didn’t return
home.
Armistice Day, Remembrance Day and Veterans
Day are great ways to honor
past and current military for
their service and sacrifice.

How to show your appreciation
to members of the military
Civilians who join the
military find their lives
change forever upon entering
the service. The armed forces
shape a person, teaching discipline, humility, bravery, and
many other life lessons. Joining the military often means
making substantial personal
sacrifices, as servicemen and
women are typically called
away from their families and
the comforts of home.
Many grateful men and
women want to show their
appreciation to those who
risk their lives to defend their
country, but they may not always know how. The following are a number of ways you
can show your appreciation
to members of the military.
• Thank a service member. If you see a person in
uniform, thank them for their
service to the country. Use
the person's title if you can
identify rank, or simply use
the respectful terms of "sir
or madam." Though a simple
gesture, a verbal token of
gratitude can go a long way
toward brightening a soldier's day.
• Volunteer with a veteran's association. Volunteering is another way to show
veterans and active service
members how much you appreciate the sacrifices they
have made. Volunteer at a
veteran's hospital or help to
organize an event that's commemorating the efforts of
local veterans and active service members.
• Propose an event to honor local service members.
Petition a town council for a
special parade to honor your
community's military personnel, including veterans and
active duty members.
• Raise funds. Fundraisers are another way to show
military members how much
you appreciate their service.
Collect money for a militarybased scholarship, asking a
local high school or university to establish the scholarship in the name of a local
veteran or active duty service
member.
• Provide a forum in
which a serviceman or servicewoman can share his or
her story. Soldiers can offer unique insight on issues
that affect civilians, and
the community can benefit
from servicemen and women who share their stories.
When hosting a community
event, ask a soldier to be a
keynote speaker.
• Send gifts to active
military. Make care packages or write cards and
thank you notes to stationed
troops. Organizations like
the USO, Military-Missions.
org or AnySoldier.com can
ensure your packages make
their way into the hands of
soldiers.
• Help an active duty
service member's family.
Spouses of active duty military personnel often must
handle all of the chores
that come with managing
a household on their own.
To show how much you appreciate a service member's
efforts, offer to lend a hand
421 S. Main • Malvern • 332-6902
around his or her house.
This can make life easier on
a service man or woman's
spouse, and your companionship may provide a world
of good. You can even go
the extra mile by organizing a military spouse appreciation night at a nearby
church or recreation hall.
Offer free babysitting and
provide refreshments and
entertainment.
• Publicly display your
patriotism. Active duty service members and veterans
joined the military to defend
our way of life, and you can
show pride for your country
and appreciation for their
efforts by hanging a flag
outside of your home.
• Pick up the tab. Surprise a person in uniform by
paying for his or her meal
at a restaurant. It's a simple
gesture, but it shows how
much you appreciate that
service member's sacrifice.
Gestures that show military personnel how much
you appreciate them need
not be lavish. Any and all
expressions of gratitude can
make a world of difference.

Day
Continued from page 8B
Later that same year, on
October 8th, President Dwight
D. Eisenhower issued the first
"Veterans Day Proclamation"
which stated: "In order to insure proper and widespread
observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans'
organizations, and the entire
citizenry will wish to join
hands in the common purpose. Toward this end, I am
designating the Administrator
of Veterans' Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall
include such other persons as
the Chairman may select, and
which will coordinate at the
national level necessary planning for the observance. I am
also requesting the heads of
all departments and agencies
of the Executive branch of
the Government to assist the
National Committee in every
way possible."

dent Eisenhower sent a letter
to the Honorable Harvey V.
Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs (VA), designating him as Chairman of the
Veterans Day National Committee.
In 1958, the White House
advised VA's General Counsel that the 1954 designation
of the VA Administrator as
Chairman of the Veterans Day
National Committee applied
to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989
when VA was elevated to a
cabinet level department, the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs
has served as the committee's
chairman.
The Uniform Holiday Bill
(Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat.
250)) was signed on June 28,
1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for
Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays
on Mondays: Washington's
Birthday, Memorial Day,
Veterans Day, and Columbus
Day. It was thought that these
extended weekends would
encourage travel, recreational
and cultural activities and
stimulate greater industrial
and commercial production.
Many states did not agree
with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays
on their original dates.
The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed
with much confusion on October 25, 1971. It was quite
apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic
significance to a great number
of our citizens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President
Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479),
which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to
its original date of November
11, beginning in 1978. This
action supported the desires
of the overwhelming majority
of state legislatures, all major
veterans service organizations
and the American people.
Veterans Day continues to
be observed on November 11,
regardless of what day of the
week on which it falls. The
restoration of the observance
of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the
historical significance of the
date, but helps focus attention
on the important purpose of
Veterans Day: A celebration
to honor America's veterans
for their patriotism, love of
country, and willingness to
serve and sacrifice for the
common good.
