#DYK, Native Americans serve the military at a higher rate than any other ethnicity? Today #BrightPathStrong honors service members like Pascal C. Poolaw, Sr. (Kiowa), the most highly decorated American Indian Soldier, killed in action in Vietnam; and Lori Piestewa (Hopi), the first American Indian woman to die in combat on foreign soil, after her combat unit was ambushed in Iraq. 🪶
We honor these brave individuals who gave the ultimate sacrifice for a country Indigenous peoples undoubtedly have a complicated relationship and history with. The selflessness of their sacrifice cannot be understated.
