Honoring The Achievements Of Native Americans In The Military
Formal Ceremony At ‘Haven Of Rest’ Scheduled For Monday Monday, May 27th is Memorial Day, a federal holiday that honors our Veterans who died in service to our country. Unlike Veterans Day in November which honors all Veterans, Memorial Day is a solemn day to honor those that died in service. It was formally called Decoration Day and probably had its origins during the Civil War where family members would decorate the graves of loved ones. In many ways the holiday has not changed, albeit formalized. Since the inception of the United States, millions of men and women have served in its cause and on Monday we will give thanks in a solemn service at the Julian cemetery. The American Legion will conduct the ceremony beginning at 11:00 a.m. There will be a full Color Guard, a 21 gun salute and bugler. After the ceremony you are invited to a potluck luncheon hosted by the American Legion Auxiliary at the Post at the corner of Washington and 2nd street. There are few families in the United States that have not been touched by the loss of a loved one during America’s wars but even though you may have been spared, it is a time when you can honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield. It is a good way to provide teachable moments for your young ones about American history and why we honor those that came before us.
(StatePoint) Native Americans serve in the U.S. military at a higher rate per capita than any other population group and have done so since the American Revolution. Yet there is no monument or memorial in the Nation’s capital that commemorates the contributions of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. This is finally changing, as the first memorial to their service is about to be built. A private ceremony is slated for this fall, when the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian breaks ground on the National Native American Veterans Memorial on Sept. 21 in Washington, D.C. “Throughout history, Native Americans have answered the call to serve in our nation’s armed forces,” says Kevin Gover (Pawnee), director of the National Museum of the American Indian. “This memorial will remind everyone who visits it of the service and patriotism of Native veterans and their families.” A visit to Washington, D.C. is a great opportunity to experience U.S. history firsthand. The city is filled with grand monuments, world-class museums and memorials honoring those whose life’s work was in service to the
The new memorial, which was commissioned by Congress to give “all Americans the opportunity to learn of the proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans in the Armed Forces of the United States,” will be located on the grounds of the museum, within sight of the U.S. Capitol Building. It will be the first national landmark in Washington, D.C. to focus on the contributions of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians
who have served in the military. The memorial design by Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma), a multimedia artist, retired forensic artist and Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, features an elevated stainless-steel circle resting on an intricately carved stone drum. It also incorporates water for sacred ceremonies, benches for gatherings and four lances where veterans, family members, tribal leaders and others can tie cloths for prayers and healing.
The tradition continues this Saturday, the return of the Fiddle and Pickn’ Contest to Julian’s Town Hall stage.

nation. Among the most visited memorials in the city are those honoring the nation’s veterans and the sacrifices they have made in service to the country. On any given day, thousands visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World War II Memorial and the Korean War Veterans Memorial, among others, remembering those who served. And soon, these same visitors, will be able to visit one honoring the military service of Native Americans.

On a dry windy day in November 1956, within 20 miles of Julian, in a canyon, a fire began. This fire would be fought on many fronts, lives were lost, and this fire would change the way fires would be managed in the future. The Inaja fire made history. Julian Historical Societies first scholarship award is being presented to PJ Davis Scholl, who will share his research of the Inaja Fire and how the events of this fire changed firefighting procedures. PJ is an accomplished young man, he will be attending SDSU this fall, he
