Memorial service at veterans statue held in Solomons

On Sunday afternoon, several county residents, including many military veterans, attended the annual “On Watch Memorial Service” in Solomons. The event is held at the On Watch Sailor Memorial overlooking Solomons Harbor, which honors U.S. amphibious forces of World War II. The U.S. amphibious Forces Training Base was located at the end of the Dowell Peninsula from 1942 to 1945. The facility was the first of its kind. Over 68,000 servicemen trained there. A bronze statue, sculpted by Tobias Mendez, was dedicated at the site in 2007. Engraved bricks surrounding the statue are engraved with the names of men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. The ceremony's keynote speaker this year was Capt. Robert Chandler, Naval Air Station Patuxent River's commanding officer. Along with longtime Solomons resident Bob Priddy, a retired Air Force sergeant, Chandler laid a wreath at the base of the statue. The event was hosted by Calvert Marine Museum.

In her 14 years as health officer for the St. Mary’s County Health Department, Dr. Meena Brewster experienced a lot of firsts. From addressing the COVID-19 pandemic to building the Healthy St. Mary’s Partnership and school-based health centers, Brewster said her focus always came back to serving the community and improving access to health and wellness resources. “I really wanted an opportunity to be on the front lines and to have direct impact and to really get to know the people that we’re serving and build those partnerships that are so key,” she said. Early next month, Brewster will be leaving the role, and while she has yet to announce her next position, she is looking forward to starting the next chapter of her public health career. “Fourteen years is a long time for any person’s life, and St. Mary’s has certainly been such a significant component of my life,” she said. “I feel really good about what we’ve built together as a community and as a health department team and our partnerships.” While public health focuses on responding to a community’s needs, the COVID-19 pandemic posed unique challenges for Brewster and other county leaders. “We really pulled together as
