rescheduled for October, at which time I was told the decision had not
changed. I went to an attorney, the news media (article in the Washington

Post and several articles and pictures in the Maryland Independent) and
spread the word that I needed help. I prepared a petition and sent it with self-
addressed stamped envelopes to approximately 750 families that owned
property in my neighborhood. I went door-to-door to the houses that didn’t

respond. I received such a good response that I now have approval to fly the
American flag. It took me 10 months but Old Glory is flying and a POW/MIA

flag below it. My neighbors tell me they enjoy it, probably as much as I do.
All four of my brothers, my husband and two of my nephews served in the
military and served our country, some coming home with serious injuries, so I
would not give up and take her down. I am very proud.

I am still active in giving back to my community now that I have retired. I
serve on the Wakefield Neighborhood Association Board and I assist,
wherever and whenever possible. I am an active member of NARFE Chapter

1972, Waldorf-La Plata, and participate in numerous activities. I am also a
senior member of the NASA Headquarters Alumni Group and provide
pertinent information to the NASA retirees.

I am Bernard Cullinan and I worked for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration at Goddard Space Flight Center for 28 years as a Civil Servant

and seven years as a contractor. For most of that time, I was a Resource
Analyst, Financial Supervisor and Financial Manager in charge of a multi-
million and a multi-billion-dollar program, the Earth Observing System Data

Information System (EOSDIS).

I was privileged to support many science programs at Goddard Space Flight

Center over the years, including the biggest program of all, the EOSDIS
Program. This program was a fantastic success in providing data to Earth
Scientists all over the world, helping these scientists in identifying the
problems that affect global climate change, and providing possible solutions

to these problems.

Starting out as a GS-7, I rose in rank through the years to GS-14 step 10. I

also received many Center awards for my efforts, and was recognized by my
peers at Goddard and at NASA HQ for my dedication, professionalism and
excellence to the NASA mission.
