RoiTresha Watkins-Lovett – a Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) background investigator assigned to the Tacoma Field Office – was one of five panel members engaged in a question-and-answer session as military, federal employees and defense contractors tuned in across the country via Adobe Connect during a the DCSA Cultural Conversations for Veterans Fireside Chat on Nov. 9.
Watkins-Lovett, a Navy veteran, told the virtual audience about her active duty encounter with the Tuskegee Airmen – the first African American military aviators and ground crew personnel in the U.S. armed forces.
“We met history makers when the Tuskegee Airmen participated in our Black History Month observance,” recalled Watkins-Lovett who was assigned to Naval Station Pearl Harbor as a Master-at-Arms 18 years ago when she met members of the group known for shooting down 112 enemy aircraft during World War II. “I sang for the Tuskegee Airmen, and they autographed their autobiographies for me. It’s an experience that I wouldn't have had outside of the military.”
