city councilmember Eli Ontiveros greeting attendees on behalf of the city.
The other veterans groups participating in the Memorial Day event, which begins around 6 a.m. with miniature U.S. Flags being placed on graves of all military personnel in the cemetery, are American Legion Post 23, AM- VETS Post 98 and Sanger Veter- ans Network.
Niemeyer, a member of VFW Post 7168, had an impressive 14 year career as a Navy chaplain. He retired as a highly decorated com- mander.
Among the many noteworthy items on his extensive resume is his involvement with Seal Team Six, the "U.S. Naval Special War- fare Development Group" that took out Osama bin Laden.
In addition to his Masters of Divinity he has degrees in nursing, psychology and accounting. Before heenlistedintheNavyhe worked as a registered nurse, manage- ment engineer and chief of finance and budget. Yet, outside his own Calvary Fellowship Church this remarkably accomplished and versatile Sanger native is not well known in the town where he was born and now pastors a church.
The only time he received citywide recognition was when his church dedicated a unique memo- rial featuring a flagpole, an anchor and buoy from the military base at Treasure Island.
"It's in the shape of a pentagon so each branch of the service has its own memorial plaque. We will take names and inscribe the names on a brass plate and then will affix them to the memorial," said Nie- meyer at the dedication ceremony.
West Point graduate Corliss directs, supervises, and man- ages daily munitions maintenace operations and accountability for
a munitions stockpile at the 144th Fighter Wing worth more than $30 million.
She is also responsible for managing the 144th Maintenance Group’s unit self-assessment pro- gram, responsible for assessing all aspects of aircraft, equipment, and munitions maintenance to reduce areas of risk and non-compliance and assure combat readiness across the maintenance group.
Corliss graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1998 with a commis- sion in the Army Signal Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant.
In 2001 Lt. Corliss joined the North Carolina Army National Guard and served for 3 years as the communications staff officer for the 230th Support Battalion. Her efforts ensured a 99 percent reliability rate for three brigade- level exercises, including a rota- tion to the National Training Cen- ter in preparation for deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Corliss took a break from military service in 2004 to focus on family.
When she moved to California she joined the Fresno Air National Guard in 2009. After a few months she was promoted to 144th Force Support Squadron (FSS) Com- mander. She led the FSS to the highest inspection rating during two Air Combat Command Opera- tional Readiness Inspections.
She completed Air Command and Staff College in 2017 and graduated with her master’s de- gree in "Military Operational Art and Science."
