Much of Asian and Pacific cultures and traditions are centered around the delicious cuisine, and we are more than happy to share Brig Gen John R. Edwards our special and coveted “secret” family Director, Nuclear Enterprise recipes with you. This year’s theme of “Advancing Leaders through Purpose-Driven Service” fits in perfectly with our plans to serve all the amazing civilian, military, and contractors that comprise the DTRA workforce by providing you with this very special AAPI Cookbook. For the past two months we have solicited all DTRA employees to contribute their favorite Asian and Pacific recipes, so these special recipes not only represent your AAPI ERG, this is a compilation of all of your efforts. Many of you shared personal stories behind the recipes, showcasing a special relative, a time-honored family tradition, or how you served in the Asian-Pacific region and learned about the local foods during your military or civilian assignments overseas. This is a wonderful conglomeration of love, teamwork, and celebrating our diverse cultures. I hope you will enjoy these stories and give the recipes a try. As an American with Asian heritage, I am proud to be a part of DTRA, serving you with purpose, and being your advocate each and every day. Sincerely, Brigadier General John R.
