 November is National Native American Heritage Month. Betty Officer Sherilyn Sands tells us how her Navajo heritage has influenced her naval career. There's that warrior pride, so military means a lot to the Native American because of the warrior. Betty Officer Sands says the values that were talked to her growing up help her excel in the Navy today. Sands believes recognizing Native American heritage helps honor and remember the Native American heroes who have gone before us in service to our country. How that plays into the military today in the Navy is we appreciate all the Native Americans that come into the military because we hold them higher than the people at home because they are the warriors. They're the ones that go up to the front line or they're the ones that are doing this for our country. Betty Officer Zack Kreitzer, Fleet Activity Sassimo, Japan.
