 Sailors aboard the Navy's four-deployed aircraft carrier, U.S. as George Washington, gather to recognize and celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Today was an amazing event where we were able to honor them with our time, with the culture that they've celebrated, and hopefully with a little bit of fun with the Asian dancers, which added the perfect clutch to a great event. On the Mess Decks, Sailors enjoy this commemorative event, coordinated by George Washington's Command Religious Ministries Department, which includes speakers, a variety of culture-specific performances, and a cake cutting ceremony. I feel it's important because it is our culture. You should be proud of your culture. You shouldn't be shy about it, you know, and you should let people know this is what we're all about. For USS George Washington, I'm Petty Officer Sean Lamar.
