Commander's Vision Statement

The USFK community is a safe, inclusive, and vigilant environment free of racial discrimination and bigotry.

Commanders and leaders at all levels must create environments which allow individuals to speak openly and candidly about these issues without fear of reprisal. Now is the time to have tough conversations

We remain committed to creating an environment free of discrimination, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect regardless of race, religion, color, sexual orientation, gender or national origin.

We must all work together to create a safe and inclusive environment that is free of racism, bigotry and hate, and everyone knows they matter and are valued members of our community.

Command Cafe

The intent of the Command Café is to help further develop an awareness and understanding of diverse and inclusive topics within our unique community, through relatable and entertaining resources that provide a variety of perspectives.    

Join community leaders and Strength in Diversity members this month as we continue to enjoy and educate ourselves through a diverse assortment of literature, media, art, film, music and more!

Each month the Command Café features a new theme or focus that highlights a particular group, topic or perspective.

 

This month's focus is LGBTQ+ Pride Month.

    Disclosure

    A documentary that looks at transgender depictions on the screen showing how Hollywood reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers trace a history that is both dehumanizing, yet also evolving and complex through some of Hollywood's most beloved moments on the screen. What emerges is a fascinating interplay between trans representation on screen, society's beliefs and the reality of trans lives.

    By Benjamin Alire Sáenz

     

    Aristotle is an angry teen. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship that changes the lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves.
