Team Whiteman celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Airman 1st Class Maria Benavente, the Team Whiteman Asian Pacific American Heritage Association president, holds a book titled Chamoru Legends on May 28, 2020, at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. Benavente was born in Guam and joined the U.S. Air Force when she was 19 years old. Chamoru refers to the indigenous people of Guam. The book Chamoru Legends reminds Benavente of home because growing up she learned about the folklore from her family and was also taught about it in elementary school.
