From Kimberly A. Watson, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility chief:Today, I encourage you to take a few moments to watch this short video entitled: “Gaining Confidence in Building Inclusive Cultures” LINK. Building/creating an inclusive culture can take time so look for progress over perfection. As shared by William Raspberry: “And, yes, words matter. They may reflect reality, but they also have the power to change reality—the power to uplift and to abase.” Looking back, I remember being told to choose my words carefully. At the time, I did not realize the true value of this life lesson. Do your words help support a workplace built on merit, dignity, and respect?
You can also visit the AF eLearning (skillport) site to learn more about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility topics.

Gallery Feature: The Korean War Gallery: The Korean War Gallery contains aircraft and exhibits that tell the story of the U.S. Air Force's role and performance in that conflict. Visitors can immerse themselves in a storyline that reflects the emergence of the modern Air Force as the service experienced significant changes in roles, tactics and technology during the war. The conflict's two most striking symbols of air power on both sides -- the F-86A Sabre and the MiG-15 -- are on display next to each other. Mannequins used in exhibits depict both everyday moments in the lives of airmen as well as historical images, such as the famous photo featuring pilots headed to the flight line as they walk under the MiG Alley sign. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Korean-War-Gallery/
