ARMY RESERVE MARKS BLACK HISTORY MONTH BY FOCUSING ON BLACK HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Austin Tang — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 17:57:04 +0000

Listen to “ARMY RESERVE MARKS BLACK HISTORY MONTH BY FOCUSING ON BLACK HEALTH AND WELLNESS” on Spreaker.

www.usar.army.mil
Each February the U.S. Army Reserve joins the nation in observing and reflecting on the tremendous contributions of Black Americans to our country and our history. It is an opportunity to continue highlighting the achievements of the resilient Black men and women—past and present—who have played an integral role in shaping our military.
The U.S. Army Reserve embraces diversity and recognizes the need to create spaces of belonging for everyone—regardless of race, creed, or color. The Force is dedicated to building cohesive teams in an inclusive environment to fight and win our nation’s wars. The annual commemoration of Black History Month provides time to intentionally honor the legacy of Black people who have served in the Army and reinforce the strength that comes when every member of the Force has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
This year, the Army Reserve is underscoring the importance of Black Health and Wellness by focusing on the legacy of Black scholars and medical practitioners and promoting ways Black Soldiers and their families can prioritize wellness.
The theme is of special concern to our guest, Army Reserve Sergeant Renieal Campbell—a pre-med student who is also making her mark among the ranks as the youngest Drill Sergeant in her battalion, all while working as an entrepreneur, model, and pageant competitor.
In fact, Sergeant Campbell was inspired by Captain DeShauna Barber, the U.S. military’s first Black Army Reserve officer to obtain the title of Miss USA in 2016.
Other Black Soldiers Gaining Recent Prominence:
• Lieutenant General Nadja West became the first Black U.S. Army Surgeon General in 2015 and first Black female Lieutenant General in 2016.
• Lieutenant General A.C. Roper made American history on May 14, 2021, by becoming the first African American Lieutenant General in the Army Reserve.
• Command Sergeant Major Michele S. Jones was selected by Lieutenant General James R. Helmly, former Chief of Army Reserve, to become the Command Sergeant Major of the Army Reserve in September 2003. As a result, she became the first Black woman in U.S. Army’s history to serve as a Division Command Sergeant Major.
Army Reserve Sergeant Renieal Campbell discusses the Army Reserve’s dedication to diversity and ensuring equitable treatment for all its members. She’ll also discuss how Black men and women are helping to change the face of leadership and mentorship in the Army Reserve.

As you know, Chanukah is in the air…. and on the ICE!
Our big event of the year is Chanukah On Ice, for which we rent out the Central Park Wolman Rink.
Our biggest turnout was 1800, and it regularly draws in the 12-1500 range.
Our event brings all walks of the Jewish community together to celebrate Chanukah in a fun exciting way.
We light a giant Ice Menorah, have a live band, skate to Jewish music, and serve a Kosher Chanukah dinner.
This is our 14th year, B”H. This year it’s scheduled for Monday night, 11/29, 6-9pm and we hope to see you ALL there!
If you are able to help sponsor some of Chanukah on Ice, please do, using the rsvp link https://chanukahonicenyc.com/

During National Hispanic Heritage Month U.S. Army Reserve Celebrates the Contributions of Hispanic Soldiers Diversity and Inclusion are Vital to the Force

Austin Tang — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 20:29:36 +0000

Listen to “During National Hispanic Heritage Month U.S. Army Reserve Celebrates the Contributions of Hispanic Soldiers ***Diversity and Inclusion are V” on Spreaker.

The annual observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 provides the U.S. Army Reserve the chance to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic Americans to the Army and to the nation.
Embracing and celebrating diversity, which includes the contributions of Hispanic Soldiers, makes the Army Reserve stronger. The theme for the 2021 Hispanic Heritage Month, “Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope,” captures that spirit as we come together to celebrate the contributions of Hispanic Americans to our nation and Army.
The Army Reserve values the strength of a diverse force and an inclusive environment. Today, more than 16% of America’s Army Reserve is comprised of Hispanic American Soldiers. The talent, skills, and abilities in a diverse force help us meet future defense challenges and win our nation’s wars.
Hispanic Americans have a proud legacy of military service, dating all the way back to the Civil War. Whether their heritage can be traced to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean or Central and South America, these Soldiers and civilian employees have answered the “call to duty,” defending America with great honor, dedication, and distinction.
Thousands of Hispanic-American Soldiers are supporting contingency operations throughout the world. Today, just as in generations past, Hispanic Soldiers can be especially proud of their significant contributions defending the nation and embodying the Army Values that unite all service members as one.
Major General Alberto C. Rosende, Commanding General of the 63rd Readiness Division located in Mountain View, California, will be able to discuss the achievements and contributions of Hispanic Americans in the U.S. Army Reserve.
