VFW Celebrates Native American Heritage Month

'I salute the amazing contributions our Native American service members, veterans and families have made, and continue to make'

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) celebrates the instrumental contributions our Native Americans have made in our military as we honor Native American Heritage Month. 

“I salute the amazing contributions our Native American service members, veterans and families have made, and continue to make, every day to ensure our nation remains the democracy it is today,” said VFW National Commander Harold “Hal” Roesch II. “Their dedication, selflessness and sacrifice to the greatest nation in the world is a shining example of who we are as a country.”

For centuries, Native Americans have fought passionately to protect and defend the United States. Without the many contributions of our Native American brothers and sisters, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms bestowed upon us today.

We ask you to celebrate the strong and rich culture of our Native Americans with us by using the hashtag #CelebrateNativeAmericanHeritage on social media.
