To wrap up Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Army Contracting Command-Redstoneâs Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council held a virtual observance to help raise awareness and highlight the contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islanders.
David Madriaga, a council member and a contract specialist with Army Contracting Command-Redstoneâs Post Awards Division, played a key role in organizing the event. Madriagaâs father was a Filipino scout during World War II. He escaped the Bataan Death March where nearly 66,000 Filipino prisoners of war marched 66 miles to prison camps.
âOur group is a small minority of America. It takes a strong, confident and thoughtful nation to take the time to recognize us and our accomplishments in order to learn more about each other,â Madriaga said.
