 Veterans were honored across the country last weekend and in MLAX they are continuing to honor a special group of veterans. The MLAX Indian Museum opened a new exhibit celebrating Native Americans that have served their country. The Patriot Nations exhibit features many banners that document the Native Americans work and the armed forces dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War. It's a nationwide exhibit but the museum also showed respect to MLAX Band members by adding their names to the veteran honor wall. They're an underrepresented group in the armed forces. They serve in higher percentages than any other group and yet there aren't memorials for them. So part of this exhibit is that they're going to be creating a landmark for Native Americans in the armed forces and that'll be coming to Washington DC in 2020. The Patriot Nations exhibit will be open at the MLAX Indian Museum until Labor Day. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
