Chief Master Sgt. Patrick Holmes, 374th Civil Engineer Squadron senior enlisted leader, delivers a speech during the Juneteenth Gala held at Yokota Air Base, Japan, June 17, 2023. Juneteenth is a celebration of the events of June 19, 1865, when the people of Galvaston, Texas, were notified of their freedom by presidential decree, and the day was officially declared a federal holiday in 2021. President Joe Biden declared in 2022, “Emancipation marked the beginning, not the end, of America’s work to deliver on the promise of equality. To honor the true meaning of Juneteenth, we must not rest until we deliver the promise of America for all Americans.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Lackey)
