It was a very different time in history. I retired as a rear admiral, the first Filipino-American U.S. history to become a Navy rear admiral, and that was in 2001.”“It's been the journey of grief. But I've been grateful. It's been a journey of rebirth and I have become a better person.”Connect with Dr. Connie MarianoBookKeynote SpeakerFacebookInstagramCanyon RanchFull TranscriptConnect with AGEISTNewsletterInstagramWebsite
