2 2 News Weekly commander's message Greetings, Team Whiteman! On Monday it was great to meet with our team s 50 newest graduates during our All Schools Graduation Ceremony! Earning a degree, whether it is from the Community College of the Air Force or a bachelor s degree program, is a major accomplishment and it was an honor to celebrate alongside you and your families. Having an advanced degree sets you apart from your peers, and it makes you a more effective Airman, leader and innovator which is exactly what our service and our wing needs! Congratulations again and thanks to all the families, commanders, supervisors, and first sergeants who motivated these Airmen to continue their education! In addition, this week our Total Force team had the privilege of hosting Mr. Dan Clark, who is one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world! As a contributing author to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, Dan provided our team with an engaging and fresh perspective on resiliency that will have a lasting impact for many members of our team. I hope those who heard him speak on Tuesday have internalized his messages, and that you have found ways to transform those themes into impactful action in your own lives! Yesterday, our team participated in a readiness exercise designed to validate our ability to respond to a threat to our installation and assets. This exercise confirmed once again the incredible professionalism and expertise of our first responders, as the exercise was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who planned and participated in the exercise and to our first responders for always being vigilant and ready! Speaking of our first responders, throughout the week our Security Forces Squadron has been hosting events celebrating National Police Week, which honors the service and the sacrifices of past and present law enforcement officers. The week will culminate today at 4:30 p.m. at the base flagpole with a retreat ceremony featuring Chief Richard Lockhart, Warrensburg s Chief of Police if you are free, please come show your support for our Defenders! Lastly, tomorrow is Armed Forces Day. In the 1940s, President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. Simply put, Armed Forces Day is about you and your families. Always remember that millions of Americans are incredibly grateful for what you do for our great nation, not just on Armed Forces Day, but every day. If you are looking for a memorable way to spend Armed Forces Day, Sedalia is hosting its annual Lieutenant George Whiteman Remembrance Ceremony beginning at 11 a.m. at Memorial Park Cemetery. As always, enjoy your weekend, be safe, and look out for your Wingmen! Defend Avenge! Nuke PAUL W.

8 News 11 Unite our voices by speaking together Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month By Senior Airman Danielle Quilla 509th Bomb Wing Public Affairs A simple red envelope. That s all it took for one small child to feel like his fortunes were changing. Lunar New Year is the most significant event in my culture, said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Weiqi Fu, a contracting specialist with the 509th Contracting Squadron. As a child, one of the things that I looked forward to the most was receiving the red envelope from adults. In the Chinese culture, a red envelope always contains allowances and signifies good fortune. During this annual event, family members are brought together to celebrate the future. Born in Shanghai, China, Fu immigrated to the U.S. in 1996 at the age of 10 when his father was accepted for a job. The biggest culture change for him was the education system. While the Chinese school system emphasizes book knowledge, the U.S. schools encouraged freedom of thinking and creativity. When he attended elementary school in China, he was enrolled in multiple afterschool programs and weekends were occupied by extracurricular school activities. The cultural thinking in China was that in order for the children to be successful in the future, the early development is extremely important, he said. When Fu started attending school in the U.S., he noticed that his peers associated intelligence with Asians. While it is true that most Asians do well in school, however, it has a positive correlation to the amount of dedication to their school work, said Fu. Regardless of your cultural background or ethnicity, success is influenced by hard work. In 2011, Fu enlisted in the Air Force as open general and knew his dedication to his schoolwork would benefit him in his new job. I consider myself to be extremely lucky to be able to get into my number one career field, contracting, he said. When asked about what he hopes to pass on to his children, he said, I want to pass on to my children the different Chinese dialects. I believe being bilingual is extremely important in today s global market. I would consider my children to be very lucky that their parents are both bilingual. It makes the language learning process significantly easier. Courtesy photo U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Weiqi Fu, a contracting specialist with the 509th Contracting Squadron, and his wife, Nan Zhao.
