Tech Sgt. Darrell Charlee, Kirtland Air Force Base Inspection Agency client systems NCO in charge, renders a salute for the playing of the national anthem during a home-blessing ceremony for a Navajo Nation veteran in Shiprock, New Mexico, Feb. 28, 2024. Along with visiting several schools on the Navajo Nation Reservation, Charlee and three other Airmen representing the Indigenous Nations Equality Team attended the ceremony to show their support for the Vietnam War veteran. “Roughly 18%, nearly one-in-five Native Americans either have or are currently serving in the U.S. armed forces,” said Charlee. “It goes back to that warrior ethos, native men and women have an almost instinctual obligation to serve their country and people.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
