I searched and found nothing. If it's a dupe, it's worth duping.

It's good to see that they still value the warrior culture.

“He earns the American flag from his government,” says Vietnam veteran John Around Him. “He earns the eagle feather from his people.”

Woah. You don't know whether to be proud or sad.

Also, note that their HS has a wall with a flag and a listing of Lakota in the miliitary. Do that in some other places and you'll get sued to take it down.

I had to smile at the irony of "guns in the school."

As said, there aren't too many places in America where you can do that anymore.

It's stories like that that remind me how terribly we fucked over a proud and noble people. It's history but it doesn't make it right.

Yeah me too, when i saw the pic of the Capt. giving the watch & dogtags to his parents. Poor mother & father. I don't know if i could handle that if it were my son, i do know i would be proud, but devastated

God Bless you Cpl. Brett Lundstrom

I'm always reminded of the line out of the movie The Last of the Dogmen. Barbara Hershey says to Tom Berenger "What happened was inevitable. How it happened was unconscionable." A true dark mark on American history.

Believe me, it's an honor to start a thread such as this.

And as up-to-date on current events as GD can be it's a bit of a surprise I'm the first one to post it too.

Most Americans have been cleansed of any traditions they may have had. Take it from me. The college I attended has had many long-standing traditions that are constantly under attack from one group or another.

Just shows how strong a people they truly are for these people to have held onto their heritage through all the shit they've suffered.

The Marine standing guard in front of the tepee just does it for me. I’m going to clean my eyes out now, must be some dust in them…

A friend of the family from Kansas was killed last week in Baghdad.
