LONG OVERDUE:   The National Native American Veterans Memorial was formally dedicated on November, 11, 2022, on the grounds of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., along with a procession and ceremony on the National Mall. The Memorial, Warriors' Circle of Honor, was designed by Harvey Pratt, a Vietnam War veteran who served from 1962-65 as a U.S. Marine in Air Rescue and Security at Da Nang Air Base.   [On the cover]
