    Spc. Paloma Manigault, a culinary specialist assigned to 100th Brigade Support Battalion, 75th Field Artillery Brigade, Fort Sill, OK, pauses a moment to pose for a photo while preparing lunch for the Soldiers of Fort Sill on Feb. 12, 2019, at Guns and Rockets Dining Facility on Fort Sill. "To me, African-American History Month represents encouragement and empowerment," said Manigault. "The month reminds me that I come from a long line of people who have endured great hardships but nevertheless survived. I also think of my mother, who after serving 12 years as a police officer, was finally able to retire. Seeing her dedication and commitment to protecting those who depended on her filled me with such pride. Through her actions, she encouraged me to enlist and become part of something greater than myself." (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Dustin D. Biven / 75th Field Artillery Brigade)
