Today marks the first day of May and the first day in observation of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. For generations, both Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have played a huge role in American history, and have accomplished many great things, including fighting for our freedom. Today, I had the opportunity to participate in a wreath laying ceremony to honor these heroes at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. I was proud to be able to share stories of what many of these brave men and women have done, including my own father’s accomplishments during his time of service. Mahalo, Gen. Milley for recognizing and celebrating such an important observance.
