For more than 250 years, Native Americans have served our nation’s military in places like Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, Iwo Jima, Korea, Saigon, Iraq, and Afghanistan. These patriotic men and women have been on the front lines serving our country in numbers that outpace the percentages of any other ethnic group in America, continuing a proud warrior tradition passed down from generation to generation.
I was tasked with writing the content of the Warriors in Uniform website and writing/producing the accompanying video that tells the story of the extraordinary patriotism, sacrifice, bravery, and heroism of Native American Veterans in the face of the enemy, and often despite poverty and social injustice at home.
The Warriors in Uniform website and database provides students, teachers, and the American public with information about the critical role Native American service members played in our nation’s military, celebrating their contributions, courage, and patriotism.
