What is a powerful way to preserve your family’s cultural heritage? 🎗️ The fabric of our nation is interwoven with the valor of those who've served. Military service carries with it a rich culture, an enduring spirit, and diverse narratives including a multitude of racial and ethnic backgrounds. As reflected in a 2022 Department of Defense demographic profile, military demographic data tells us that 18.4 percent of our active-duty members self-identifying as Hispanic or Latino, 31.2 percent as part of a racial minority group and the rest as Caucasian. Cultural heritage is not just relics and artifacts; it encompasses the living memories and anecdotes of those who have donned the uniform. In recognition of their contributions and to enrich our collective history, we must take steps to preserve these diverse stories. Encourage dialogues, record interviews, and compile memories to celebrate and honor the multidimensional experiences of our veterans, especially those in your family. 🌟 Assist in the noble task of preserving your history. Start by documenting your family's military stories and contribute to a legacy that will inspire future leaders and citizens. #FamilyLegacy #VeteranStories #PreserveHistory

Talk about motivating! Sarah Katherine Sisk
Last night, I had the immense honor of attending the Sunset Parade, at the Marine Corps Memorial, in honor of Senator Ted Budd (R-NC). The Marine Corps’ sunset and evening parades are always beautiful, but I found myself a bit emotional watching last night. Last night, Kayla Haas served as Adjutant of the parade. For those unaware, it is incredibly rare to see a woman in the parade. It’s even more rare to see them leading it, as Adjutant. For generations, little girls saw Marines and had to question whether they could hold their own among the ranks of men. Sure, they could aspire to become a United States Marine, but they didn’t have a visual representation of what they were striving to become - a role model or a hero, if you will. Now, little girls across the country have the chance to SEE that they, too, can become United States Marines. It’s no longer simply a dream. It’s clear as day - they can break through ceilings, they can blaze new trails, and they can lead United States Marines. She did that. #marinecorps #marines #semperfidelis #betheone #washingtondc

As Memorial Day comes around, it's good to remember what the day is really about. It’s not just the start of summer or a time for big sales. This is a day to honor the brave men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. Their sacrifices are why we get to enjoy so many freedoms every day. So, how can we keep the spirit of Memorial Day alive in our everyday lives? It can be as simple as taking a quiet moment to think about those who gave their lives, doing something to help someone in need, or just saying thanks to someone who’s served. These little things mean a lot and help us keep their memories alive. Memorial Day also encourages us to be like those we're remembering—selfless and brave. We can do that by helping out in our community, standing up for what's right or making a move for our future that we were afraid to do. By living out these values, we honor their legacy and make a positive difference just like they did. Have a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day! #MemorialDay2024 #HonorAndRemember #CourageAndResilience #CommunityStrength #NeverForget #TheWorldChangers #ChangeYourFinancesChangeYourWorld #YouChangeTheWorldChanges
