February is Black History Month and we asked our Soldiers "Why is diversity important in the U.S. Army?"

“In the Army, diversity is important because it provides a sense of comfort and belonging for Soldiers of different races, ethnicities and cultures," said Pfc. Deonna Terry, 88M Motor Transport Operator, E Company, 4th Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division from Orlando, Florida. "As an African American, seeing other African Americans in the military is very refreshing and fosters a sense of community. Having a diverse army represents the diverse population of the United States and shows that the Army values and respect individuals. Diversity creates a more inclusive and knowledgeable military community." (U.S. Army photo by KCPL Um, San Ma Ru)
