 The Multicultural Committee of Yacowska Naval Base recognized lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender Pride Month with the LGBT celebration. Presentations focused on the importance of a deep respect for diversity and individual rights, especially in the military. I would say this is a great step forward, great step forward for our country, great step forward for our service members. We're taking care of those who we need to take care of and I hope to see this continue to grow. The arrests were treated to refreshments, along with a visit from Commander U.S. Naval Forces Japan Rear Admiral Terry Kraft. It's excellent seeing him come up, you know. I mean, being enlisted, you don't see the Admiral a lot so whenever he does come and show his support, it's always great. The Multicultural Committee continues on in their mission to encourage the acceptance of diversity. Petty Officer Kirk Putnam, Yacowska Naval Base, Japan.
