Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III holds a press conference following a U.S., Australia and Japan Trilateral Defense Ministerial Meeting in Darwin, Australia, Nov. 17, 2024.
November is National Native American Heritage Month, and the Army honors Soldiers from Native American and Alaska Native communities, and expresses appreciation for their contributions, as well as those of Veterans, civilians and family members.
The theme of the recognition this year is “Affirming Native Voices: Visibility – Leadership – Service,” which reflects on the commitment of Native Americans and Alaska Natives.
