Happy Veterans Day from the Gadugi Partnership, and thank you for your service! As a percentage, Native Americans serve in the armed forces more than any other ethnic group. Men like Ira Hayes, women like Lori Piestewa, and many others have distinguished themselves and brought honor to their communities through this service. One such hero is pictured below...this is the statue of Charles George, an Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian who also was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor that stands in Cherokee Veterans Park on the Qualla Boundary.
Happy Veterans Day!
