    Keshon Smith, right, a member of the Native American Women Warriors and Army veteran carries the U.S. flag while Carrie Lewis, also an NAWW member and a Marine Corps veteran, holds the POW-MIA flag during the National American Indian Heritage Month observance at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, on Nov. 13, 2019. Smith survived an improvised explosive device attack during a deployment to Iraq in November 2004 and battled post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury throughout her career. She said joining the Native American Women Warriors organization helped her gain the strength to seek medical help. She is now the NAWW president. The NAWW are an all-female group of Native American veterans who started as a color guard but have since grown and branched out as advocates for Native American women veterans in areas such as health, education and employment. The members make appearances at various events around the country, serving as motivational and keynote speakers, performing tribal dances, and fulfilling the role of color guard representing all branches of the U.S. military.
