ASHINGTON — Airman 1st Class Clinton Goodwin, son of Cheryl Goodwin and John Theise of Brookville, Pa., recently joined the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee, which is preparing to support the 56th presidential inauguration on Jan. 20. AFIC is a joint service committee charged with coordinating all military ceremonial support for the inaugural period. As a joint committee, it includes members from all branches of the armed forces of the United States, including Reserve and National Guard components. Goodwin is assigned to the Hill Air Force Base Logistics Directorate as a light transportation driver. He is responsible for driving sedans and vans, completing operator checks and services of assigned vehicles and providing dedicated transportation support for the presidential inaugural. Goodwin is an active duty member of the United States Air Force and has served for one year. "Being part of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration is going to be something that I will always remember. It is a chance to be part of a historic event," the airman said. Goodwin is a 2002 graduate of Brookville Area High School and is married to Brenda L. Goodwin, daughter of Fred and Patty Walker of Dubois, Pa. The U.S. Armed Forces have participated in the inauguration of the president of the United States since April 30, 1789, when members of the U.S. Army, local militia units and Revolutionary War veterans escorted George Washington to his first inauguration ceremony at Federal Hall in New York City. Two hundred twenty years later, the participation of the armed forces continues to honor the U.S. commander in chief, recognize civilian control of the armed forces and celebrate democracy. Participation by the armed forces traditionally includes musical units, marching bands, color guards, salute batteries and honor cordons. Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen assigned to AFIC also provide invaluable assistance to the Presidential Inaugural Committee, a nonprofit, partisan organization representing the president-elect, and the Joint Congressional Committee on Inauguration Ceremonies. The Secretary.of Defense has authorized nearly 750 service members to be assigned to AFIC by Inauguration Day to coordinate Department of Defense support in and around the District of Columbia. Historically, as many as 5,000 service members have participated in the celebration. Goodwin's role in the 56th presidential inaugural is like that of any other essential military mission during peace or war. Just as military men and women are showing their commitment to this country while deployed around the globe, participation of service members in this traditional event demonstrates our military's support to the nation's newly elected commander in chief. |
