"Native Americans stand among America's most distinguished authors, artists, scientists, and political leaders, and in their accomplishments, they have profoundly strengthened the legacy we will leave our children. So, too, have American Indians and Alaska Natives bravely fought to protect this legacy as members of our Armed Forces. As service members, they have shown exceptional valor and heroism on battlefields from the American Revolution to Iraq and Afghanistan."
- President Obama, Presidential Proclamation -- National Native American Heritage Month, 2011 
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers a wide variety of services to American Indians and Alaska Natives who have served our country in the Armed Forces.
