A MESSAGE FROM CHIEF CHAISSON:Â
Today, we honor and thank all veterans for their selfless service to our country. I am deeply proud to recognize the extraordinary contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives, men and women who continue to enlist at higher rates than any other demographic.
The dedication of Indigenous people to the U.S. military is remarkable. Long before we were even recognized as citizens of this country—our ancestral land—our people stepped forward to serve. Despite a complex and often painful history with the U.S. government, Indigenous men and women have served with unshakeable commitment.
Today, we honor that legacy, and every day, we should celebrate the resilience, sacrifice, and patriotism of our Native brothers and sisters. Thank you for your courage, contribution, and enduring love for this nation.
