Armed Forces Day 5/18/2013 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
On this Armed Forces Day, the Native American community is honored to be a part of a special recognition for America’s best. They will present a veteran’s song and a victory song followed by a meaningful blessing of the Memorial’s hallowed grounds honoring over 11,600 names who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Remarks will be given by Chief Kenneth Adams, USAF (Ret.) of the Upper Mattiponi Tribe and a member of the Board of Directors of the Virginia War Memorial’s Educational Foundation. Also in attendance will be Native American veterans from recognized tribes in the Commonwealth. The Turtle Clan Drum of the Chickahominy Tribe will offer the veteran and victory songs. Most of the drummers are sons of veterans. Free and open to the public.
