1
00:00:00,048 --> 00:00:03,080
(mellow music).

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,700
- [Ian] Every time I celebrate this month,

3
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:09,970
I learn a lot from new
things, some old things,

4
00:00:09,970 --> 00:00:11,960
and, I guess, it broadens my knowledge.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,220
It's very cool to celebrate
those things every year.

6
00:00:15,220 --> 00:00:18,380
Being in Hawaii, it's no stranger to me to

7
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:23,350
accept another culture, and
enhance the other culture.

8
00:00:25,510 --> 00:00:26,940
My heritage means to me,

9
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:31,200
I have a proud military
history with my family.

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,040
I have two uncles that participated in

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,540
Desert Storm and Shield.

12
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:36,740
I have a cousin that's still, currently,

13
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:39,440
in active duty Army, and I have a cousin

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,970
that is with active duty Air Force.

15
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:44,350
Something that my uncles have taught me

16
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:47,033
is to always take care of my airmen.

17
00:00:48,050 --> 00:00:49,400
How they took care of their sailors,

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,810
they took care of their soldiers.

19
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:52,720
I try to instill that in my airmen.

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,040
I will take care of you, and in return,

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,780
all I ask is to pretty
much pay it forward,

22
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:01,930
when you become a supervisor,
or a staff sergeant.

23
00:01:01,930 --> 00:01:06,930
My family strove to get the
best setup to be successful,

24
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:11,000
and they did it every step of the way

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,740
no matter how hard to pave the path

26
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:15,923
for myself and future generations.
