Airman 1st Class Maria Benavente, the Team Whiteman Asian Pacific American Heritage Association president, displays her Seal of Guam necklace and a book titled Chamoru Legends on May 28, 2020, at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. Benavente was born in Guam and joined the United States Air Force when she was 19 years old. Chamoru refers to the indigenous people of Guam. Growing up Benavente learned about the Chamoru folklore from her family and was also taught about it in elementary school. The Seal of Guam is also found on the official Guam flag. Benavente says that she keeps her necklace close as a reminder to never forget where she came from. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Thomas Barley)
