Retired Sgt. Maj. Gonzalo A. Vasquez speaks with Marines and sailors about his thoughts on diversity Dec. 2 during Diversity Observance Day on Camp Hansen. “In the U.S., we celebrate numerous observances, such as Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Holocaust Remembrance, Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender pride, Hispanic Heritage and many more,” said Vasquez, the guest speaker for the event. “Diversity Observance Day celebrates all diversity, which includes not only our races but ethnic background, culture, religion, sexuality, gender and religious preferences.” (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl.
