VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS EVENTS
HONORING NATIVE AMERICAN VETERANS
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Dugan Aguilar, and I am one of
many Native Americans who served my country in time of war. The Fall magazine,
News from Native California,
has an article about my veteran's photography show,
Honoring Hudessi,
which would serve as an introduction of me.
California has a great number of
Native Veterans who deserve to be honored. They have served in World War II,
Korea, Vietnam and recent conflicts
In February, 2003, the California
Military Museum will present a display honoring the Native American Code Talkers
of World War II. The museum, located at 1119 Second Street in Old Sacramento,
is dedicated to the preservation of California's military history. I would like
to show our appreciation to all California Indian Veterans by honoring them
during this show.
I am asking each casino or tribal
government to sponsor at least one representative from its area. The
sponsorship would be approximately $500.00 for each representative. The money
would be used for the representatives' travel, accommodations, food, and
plaques. A publication would also be printed with each honoree's photo and a
brief biography of military service.
Please spread the word that we are
looking for sponsors, and pledge to become a part of this important event.
