U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Valeria Lorenzana gazes at a framed photo of her mother and family who live in Puerto Rico, in Portsmouth, Virginia, March 14, 2024. Valeria said her mother inspires her, "My Latina mom inspires with her vibrant spirit, fierce love, and deep-rooted values. She infuses warmth and passion into everything she does, from cooking delicious meals that bring the family together, to instilling a strong sense of cultural pride, and identity. My mother’s ability to nurture and support her loved ones while overcoming obstacles is truly admirable.” (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Mikaela McGee)
