CELEBRATING HERITAGE
-%/( FHOHEUDWHV $VLDQ $PHULFDQ 3DFLÂżF ,VODQGHU +HULWDJH 0RQWK By Mary Boswell U.S. ARMY COMBINED ARMS CENTER
Joint Base Langley-Eustis is scheduled to host an Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month ceremony from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., May 18, 2016 at the Wylie Theater at Fort Eustis, Virginia, to celebrate this year's theme of "Walk Together, Embrace Differences, Build Legacies." Since 1977, Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month has recognized the challenges faced by AsianAmericans PaciďŹ c Islanders, and Native Hawaiians and their vital impact to the American story, including their significant achievements and contributions. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the ďŹ rst Japanese people to the U.S. on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, as most of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants. The Army Training Support Center is hosting this year's event to honor and celebrate the millions of Asian-Americans PaciďŹ c Islanders whose contributions helped make America a strong, vibrant and free society. The center also aims to highlight how Asian-Americans PaciďŹ c Islanders continue to enrich America's history, society and culture, aiding to the nation's future successes. The tribute to the various cultures at the ceremony will include performances from the Hampton Roads Traditional Korean Folk Dance Ensemble as well as guest and keynote speakers. U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Cielito Pascual-Jackson, career counselor for U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command will share her journey of reaching her childhood goal of joining the Army, after coming to the U.S. at the age of 15. The keynote speaker, Dr. Hiroshi Kitamura, was born and raised in Japan

Ally Aspen, a Fort Eustis milittary child, poses in a performance hoo op for her coach during an aerial acrob bats practice in Hampton, Va., Aprill 12, 2016.
Ally Aspen, a Fort Eustis military child, poses in an aerial acrobatics movement in Hampton, Va., April 12, 2016. Ally has practiced aerial acrobats for three years and has won statelevel awards.
U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Zachary Bass, a small group leader with the Fort Eustis Army Aviation Center of Excellence Noncommissioned Officer Academy, and his stepdaughter, Ally Aspen, perform a partner acrobatics movement in Hampton, Va., April 26, 2016.
Along with winning awarrds in the sport, Ally was also recognize ed for her grades and performance in sschool by being inducted into the Na ational Elementary Honor Society.
Ally unraveled from a cocoon of silk fabric from 25 feet above the ground. Upon release from the threads, she swung her legs overhead and held her arms tightly. Still swaying, Ally’s face peaked through her legs, which served as supporting beams. “This one is the scorpion,” her coach said of the aerial acrobat pose Alley contorted her 40 pound body into. Ally is the 11 year-old daughter of Fort Eustis, Virginia, U.S. Army Spc. Loriahn Bass and Staff Sgt. Zachary Bass. The young aerial acrobat took up the sport three years ago, realizing her newfound hobby was more than just a physical talent, but also as an unexpected avenue for resiliency. “It’s like a whole new world you get to go to,” said Ally. “It feels like I can just fly and nothing’s there to stop me.” For Ally, her world at 25 feet above the ground is a place where she isn’t judged for her dyslexia or chronic bouts with pneumonia like she was in nearly every school she went to, which as a military child has been six schools in six years. “This has been her constant, and we plan on keeping her involved throughout our military careers,” said Loriahn. “This has given her the confidence to blossom. She doesn’t take bullying to heart because she has this, and knows who she is inside.” Since practicing aerial acrobats, Ally has not only received accolades in the sport by winning statelevel awards, but also in academics. In her efforts to her reach her ultimate dream of joining Cirque du Soleil, Ally was accepted into the National Elementary Honor Society, recognized for volunteer efforts and awarded the presidential
award for her grades. “I do feel stronger. I’m more confident,” she said. “I don’t care about [bullying]. I can just go to gymnastics and it’s over my shoulder by the end. You can’t let [people] get to you -- they just want to be as cool as you that’s why they’re doing it,” she said with a smile. After putting Ally through dance, Girl Scouts and volunteer programs, her parents were hoping to eventually find an activity that made her happy. Seeing the smile on their daughter’s face during acrobatic performances, and her drive to get back up after falling from the trapeze or landing a move incorrectly, they knew Ally had found something that made her shine. “We tried a lot of different things,” said Loriahn. “She was really good at them, but none of those things were her niche. Once we found this, we found what gave her stability in what can sometimes be a hectic lifestyle as a military child.”
That consistency not only uplifted Ally’s life, but also brought her family closer together. Much to the family’s surprise, Ally wasn’t the only member of the Bass family that had body-bending movements. “My wife kept bugging me to try it, and I fought her a lot for quite some time because it’s gymnastics and I’m a guy,” said Zachary. “But I was actually surprisingly okay at it. I started taking one class of silks as something for [Ally and me] to share together. We’ve always been buddies, but this was something she was really passionate about for me to be involved in.” Now more than just an extracurricular for the Bass family, aerial gymnastics is a constant in all of their lives, and serves as something Ally’s parents feel could help all military children deal with the unpredictable changes thrown into their lives. “I don’t think most people realize what being a military kid involves.
Ally Aspen, a Fort Eustis military child, wraps fabric around her leg in preparation for an aerial acrobatics movement in Hampton, Va., April 12, 2016.
It’s important to me to let other people know that Ally is living her life and doing her dream while her parents are in the military,” said Loriahn. “Yes, sometimes being military is difficult because you have to move a lot or have to be gone, but that doesn’t mean our children have to suffer. Once you see that spark in your child, keep it going.” U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Zachary Bass, a small group leader with the Fort Eustis Army Aviation Center of Excellence Noncommissioned Officer Academy, and his stepdaughter, Ally Aspen, practice partner routines in Hampton, Va., April 26, 2016.
