Remembering Hometown Hero,
Capt. E.E. "Ted" Mouton
|
|
|
This Independence Day, we would like to recognize one of our very own hometown heroes, Capt. E.E. "Ted" Mouton. The Mouton family is near and dear to our hearts at the C4 Foundation because Capt. Mouton's son, Kent Mouton, a long time Coronadan, is a key player serving as General Counsel for the C4 Foundation as well as for the global real estate company, Kennedy Wilson. Capt. Mouton's banner can be seen along Coronado's "Avenue of Heroes" on 3rd Street in Coronado, CA. Please always remember the fallen, and especially remember to honor them this next weekend on America's 244th birthday. Check out many more hero banners along
3rd & 4th Streets in Coronado, CA.

Capt. E.E. "Ted" Mouton graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1945 and was immediately sent to the South Pacific in command of a minesweeper clearing Japanese mines from shipping lanes. Upon receiving his "Wings" after WWII, Mouton was deployed to the Korean War on two tours as an F4-U Corsair fighter/bomber pilot aboard the USS Boxer, USS Valley Forge and USS Philippine Sea carriers. Mouton was stationed to NAS North Island in 1960 and during this tour of duty was twice deployed to Vietnam for air operations on the USS Bon Homme Richard, USS Hornet, and the USS Bennington as CAG. During his aviation career, Mouton flew the SNJ, TBM torpedo bomber, AD-4 and AD-5 dive bombers, F8F-2B fighter, F4-U-4fighter, JRB, T-28, F3D,F7F, WF-2, S2F-1 and STF-2, and also became H-3 helicopter qualified.

Lessons From The C4 Ranch |
|
|
Bend Your Knees, and Breathe!
By Dr. Glenn Fox, PhD
C4 Foundation Chief Science Officer
|
|
As a snowboard instructor in high school, I could have replaced myself with a cardboard cut-out and a speaker yelling “bend your knees!” and it probably would have been as effective as my actual coaching. It seems like no matter the sport, to learn is to bend one’s knees.
We stiffen with fear; we should loosen. In snowboarding, just like life, I could always tell when a student was past their comfort zone when they straightened their knees on top of a steep hill – invariably losing an edge and wiping out. The paradox of fear then, is that it requires softness, flexibility, and direct view down the hill for us to handle it well.
So, what is the equivalent of “Bend your knees!” for the rest of life? Quite simply, it is to breathe. In terms of our brain’s ability to regulate emotion, we are limited with what we can do to get an emotional reaction under control. But we do have a powerful tool when we remember to take a deep breath. In so doing, we engage the brain’s circuitry for relaxation, we move more oxygen into the brain, and we become aware of what we feel so we can react nimbly.
Fear shortens and speeds our breathing cycles, which routes more blood and resources away from the brain, which intensifies our stiffness and limits our ability to see all the options we have to handle a challenge. Focusing on breathing doesn’t get rid of the fear right away, and it doesn’t rid us of challenges, but it does plant our feet in the moment and help us channel productive energy into solving, or accepting, a problem.
The C4’s F.R.O.G. Program focuses on Optimism and Gratitude for improving health and connection, but all of our program exercises begin with taking a deep breath. The Ranch inspires deep breaths – it is pretty much everyone’s reaction to visiting the grounds. They park, step out, and take a deep breath. Focusing on the breath is something we can do anytime though, and the result is amazingly effective. Breathing helps us stay loose, focus on the basics, and avoid a bad wipeout. Now BREATHE!

Freedom
By Jennifer Cooper, MS
C4 Foundation Director of Programs
|
|
As we near the Fourth of July Holiday, the day that symbolizes the adoption of our Declaration of Independence, I can’t help but think of what it meant to our forefathers and our early countrymen. Several words come to mind as I picture those revolutionaries of the past. I think of the word Hope for without it, the task ahead would have seemed insurmountable. The word Courage of course comes to mind, because without courage the fight against a great adversary would have been impossible. I think of the word Patriotism because without the belief that this country was, and still is the best example of a nation that seeks to ensure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness there would be no reason to put up a fight for it. Most of all, I think of Freedom. There have been highs and lows in our country’s history regarding this tenet but like no other country on Earth, the United States is willing to look at those lows and make strides to evolve. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States. On this day, let us honor those Americans of the past that established this great country and fellow Americans throughout our history who have fought to make the words of our forefathers a reality.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan
