BOX OFFICE HIT 'EAGLE EYE' FILMED AT MARCH

Actor Shia LaBeouf (center), takes a quick snapshot with Team March Airmen and Soldiers at DHL in January. More than 30 members from March participated in last weekend’s box office hit “Eagle Eye” during its filming at March ARB. Airmen, Soldiers, civilian employees and employees at the DHL distribution center at the south end of the base were all involved in various scenes. The DHL hub was used for a chase scene where the actors slid down and crawled across equipment, while military members participated as extras, posing as TSA and airport police. A C-17 aircraft was also featured. In the movie, LaBeouf and co-star Michelle Monaghan are strangers thrown together in dangerous situations after they receive a phone call by a mysterious woman who threatens their lives and their families. Throughout their travels, they are watched through everyday technology and are eventually marked as terrorists who become the most wanted people in the country. (U.S. Air Force photo)

Bringing island flavor to March Air Reserve Base during Asian Pacific American Heritage month

Army Sgt. Mele Semo, 653rd Reserve Support Group project manager (front, center), teaches traditional Hawaiian dancing at the base sports and fitness center. Sergeant Semo, the daughter of a Samoan father and Samoan/Chinese mother, has begun holding classes in the evenings. She is teaching Hawaiian hula, a Polynesian dance titled “PacificColors” and a traditional Samoan slap dance for the men. She is also looking for people who would like to perform at the upcoming Asian/Pacific Month Luau that will be put on by the Army later this month. Having been raised in both Laie, Hawaii and Vailoa, American Samoa, Sergeant Semo has been dancing since pre-school. Her dad would pick up the guitar and her mom the ukulele and said, “Dance!” - and since it was between that or doing chores, the choice was easy. She also comes from a family full of entertainers, many having worked at the Polynesian Cultural Center, a major tourist attraction in Laie, Hawaii. The Semo family continues to share their talents by teaching dance and song in Hawaii, Samoa, California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Missouri. Since the month of May is Asian Pacific American Heritage month, Sergeant Semo is offering the dance lessons “to share the love I have for my culture and Polynesian dancing with all who wish to learn.” A Congressional Resolution was passed in 1978 to commemorate Asian American Heritage the first week of May. Congress later voted to change that week to encompass the entire month and it was called Asian Pacific American Heritage month. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Amy Abbott, 452 AMW/PA)
