 It was a special weekend for one member of the Red Lake Nation as he officially retired from the United States Air Force. Family members and guests sat in on a special retirement ceremony for Major Delvin Schmunk who was honored with special music and awards. Air Force Captain Joel Hausman from the Pentagon came to honor Major Schmunk and present him with some special awards. For Major Schmunk, his time in the Air Force was an incredible journey and applied what he learned growing up in Red Lake to his daily life. What I try to do is I try to keep that in my core like was just the center the center teaching as I interact with other people and if I see that they may need some of those teachings I will try to talk to them about that and share my experiences with them. Major Schmunk hopes to retire back to the Washington D.C. area and work for other Native American organizations.
