Southeast Alaska Native Veterans Association Honors President Thomasand
Recognizes Native Veterans
The Southeast Alaska Native Veterans Association held a Veterans
Day ceremony and luncheon on November 11th at the Alaska Native
Brotherhood (ANB) Hall in Juneau, Alaska. Despite the bright sunny
weather the turn out for the event was excellent.
The Native Veterans Association had a "Warrior for Distinguished
Service" medallion designed and cast for presentation to all
Native Veterans in attendance. They also presented certificates
to each recipient to commemorate the event in writing. The medallion
was designed by Richard Dalton III (originally from Hoonah).
 President
Thomas was presented with an honorary medallion and a certificate
of appreciation for his enduring and steadfast support of the efforts
of the Native Veterans. He was also given the honor of being the
featured speaker at this event and as part of his presentation he
showed a video that was put together in honor of our Native Veterans.
The video will be updated and sent to our Natives who are actively
serving in the military to give them a reminder of home.
The Native Veterans also honored Myrna Brown (Front Office Administrative
Assistant) for her years of volunteering to help them in all of
their activities. Even as they were recognizing her for her work,
she was busy updating their membership list and addresses and helping
out in the kitchen. The lunch was prepared by Grandma's Incorporated
and the food was great. Myrna is very generous with her time in
helping our people; it is very admirable and greatly appreciated.
