Going forward, DoD Components and Military Departments will not use official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events related to cultural awareness months, including National African American/Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and National American Indian Heritage Month. Service members and civilians remain permitted to attend these events in an unofficial capacity outside of duty hours.
Installations, units, and offices are encouraged to celebrate the valor and success of military heroes of all races, genders, and backgrounds as we restore our warrior culture and ethos. We are proud of our warriors and their history, but we will focus on the character of their service instead of their immutable characteristics.
This guidance is effectively immediately.

Big sigh..........how wonderful, I wish they would stop black histor6onth on TV too.......sick of it, forced!
We need all of that ended. We need our 4th of July to remain a National holiday. On Constitution Day we need required education strictly on the Constitution, what it says, and emphasizing important words like "NOT," and 'speech," which may require Daniel Webster"s 1828 dictionary. Art. IV Sect.IV also required.
If I had any say in anything, I would require a hand-[script]-wriiten paper on the difference between a Republic and a democracy. No phones allowed.
And we also need Election Day to be a national holiday with all votes counted by both R's and D's facing each other as they count, to be counted in the county, then delivered to the state, with the State Militia guarding each process in the state election process and handling transportation to the state SOS.
