May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Month, and this series of short profile videos is meant to commemorate some of the US Navy's "firsts." This video profiles Eleanor "Connie" Mariano, who is the first Filipino American to reach the rank of Rear Admiral , the first woman director of the White House Medical Unit, and the first woman service member to be appointed as White House Physician.
All videos are written, produced, and directed by staff at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum.
