DAHLGREN, Va. - Matthew Swartz – U.S. Fleet Cyber Command Executive Director and Command Information Officer – talks to the audience at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren about the 2016 Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month’s national theme: "Walk Together, Embrace Differences, Build Legacies." Swartz weaved personal stories about growing up at the Dahlgren naval base into his keynote speech. ““In those journeys I used to take with her, I learned from her differences to the point where I finally got comfortable with our differences and started to embrace them,” said Swartz about long walks he would have with his mother and his differences as an American with Japanese ethnicity. “I no longer tried to hide them, which was interesting.”
