 Asian American and Pacific Islanders have been serving honorably in the Navy since the early 19th century. Rear Admiral Raquel Bono tells us how diversity is key for the Navy's success around the globe. There is no place that I know that we can help display and demonstrate how strong we are collectively than what we do in the Navy. So I think heritage is like the foundation of our country and it's the foundation of the people within the Navy. And I think for the Navy, the benefit of having the diverse heritage that we currently enjoy in the Navy helps us be a very strong Navy. Be a part of your command celebration of the Asian American and Pacific Islander culture. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake.
