At the time, I was the only woman officer in the unit—and the only Asian American in a command position. Someone asked one of my guys if they could look at our aircraft, and he said “you gotta go talk to her.” They asked “who? The little Asian girl?” "Yeah, she’s the boss.” — PolitiTweet.org

For me, the pivotal realization that the strength of our nation lies in our diversity happened when I was a young platoon leader and First Lieutenant, participating in Operation Brightstar, a NATO training exercise, in Egypt. — PolitiTweet.org

That moment crystalized the power of America for me. Just the fact that our guys were taking orders from a woman—an Asian American woman—shows the power of America and our diversity. We're all American, we respect each other and it’s important the rest of the world sees that. — PolitiTweet.org
