to follow. This year, our Veterans Program would especially like to recognize our Suquamish Tribes Eldest Female Veteran, Marjorie Napoleon, Army, 24 OCT 49 to 30 DEC 52, Army of Occupation Medal Germany; 1 yr 6 months Foreign duty, WAC Ft. Lee and ENGR School. Thank you CPL Napoleon, we honor your service.
Each year, we dedicate November 11 to the memory of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country and for those who are still missing. This day is an honoring day. We honor those who have served and those who are still fighting. It is also a day where we come together and pray for our homeless to find their way home, and for the service members still fighting to return home safe. We honor those in our community who have served by recognizing and celebrating their service- a privilege they rightfully deserve. When you see a Veteran on November 11, offer a hand shake of recognition for their sacrifice and welcome them home.
There are also many other veterans of the Suquamish Tribe and we honor you all. I only have these few pictures, but please if you have a service picture or a picture you would like to submit, please bring them to my office and we will make copies of them for our archives. Again thank you and we raise our hands to you. LaVada Anderson is the Suquamish Tribe Veterans Resource Program Coordinator. She can be reached at (360) 394-8515 or by email at landerson@suquamish.nsn.us.
