Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month Observance
WSMR Community,
During the month of May our Nation celebrates Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It is important that we pay tribute to the generations of Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders who have enriched our Nation's history through their countless contributions, vibrant cultures, and rich heritage. AANHPI encompasses a diverse group of cultures, ethnicities, and languages. They include those Americans who trace their ancestry to the Asian continent and the many Pacific Island regions.
Today, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders remain integral to the strength of the Department of Defense. Serving both in the military and civilian sector, they represent more than 160,000 members of the DoD's Total Force.
