 The Navy takes this month to recognize Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and recognizes their accomplishments and vital contributions to American history. This year's theme, I Am Beyond, symbolizes the spirit of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and how they have excelled beyond the challenges they've faced. They picked this theme to sort of symbolize or represent the Asian American and Pacific Islanders strong tendency to excel and despite the very limited opportunities provided for us. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders represent about 30 countries and ethnic groups and speak more than a hundred languages. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall.
