and aunts and uncles, tias and tios as we call them, and we just have a great time. Before the reunion, we get a handout that says who’s graduated from high school, who’s graduated from college, who’s had a baby, who’s gotten married, and so you’re connected to your family and it’s just wonderful to be among that kind of environment because it is so supportive.
Q: How does diversity make our military, and our communities, stronger?
When we celebrate the diversity of each other, we then start to respect and work together in a stronger way to support the needs of the mission that we have. When I was in the 701st and we would deploy out to Osan Air Base in South Korea, just being around such different individuals – whether they came from an Anglo background, Hispanic background, African-American background, or any other background – we respected each other because we were all tied to the mission. We see it in sports, we see it in academic competitions, we see it across the board in so many different areas, that when we work together as a team and respect the background and diversity we have, it makes us much stronger.
Q: The theme of this year’s observance is “Shaping the Bright Future of America”. How can we ensure children of all backgrounds have the resources they need to succeed?
In our county, our 33 school districts have all adopted what’s referred to as our Cradle to Career Roadmap. What’s most important is that every one of our districts wants to prepare our students for the future. In doing that, they’re not looking at past models, they’re looking at where are the industry sectors of the future that have jobs, that have those opportunities, and how can we make curriculum, especially high school, relevant?
When you see students in a classroom involved in a collaborative, inquiry-based activity, then you can just see that passion for learning take place. And when you have students in that kind of mode, there’s no limit to what they can accomplish. But it’s up to us to provide those environments.
Q: People come to Fort Irwin from all over the country, and all over the world. Do you have any advice for our community about how to experience, and respect, the Hispanic heritage here in Southern California?
The event today is one way for sure. But on an ongoing basis, what I encourage so many people to do is to tell your story. When young people hear about people that they think are very successful,

and they think that they just went from one to the highest, they don’t understand all of the different levels and experiences that person has. So I always encourage Hispanic leaders and African American leaders and others to take time to meet with student groups, meet with other types of committees or associations, and tell their story. Because when we hear from each other, we learn so much.
