NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY SOUDA BAY, Greece -- Naval Support Activity Souda Bay hosted an Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebration with the theme of “Advancing Leaders Through Opportunity” in The Anchor on May 11, 2023.
The ceremony included a presentation, guest speakers and a cake cutting in honor of the impact, contributions and accomplishments that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have made in our Navy, armed forces and country as a whole. “My father always taught me to never forget my roots, and I appreciate him more for it because it allowed me to understand my culture and share those values with others in the workplace to create a stronger, more cohesive team,” said Lt. Joshua Matias, port operations officer, NSA Souda Bay. “I was always taught to be humble, utilize every bit of resources I have to accomplish goals and to respect everyone, especially my elders. As Capt. Odin J. Klug always says, we stand on the shoulders of giants. I am proud that my Filipino roots can contribute to the Navy and America as a whole.”
