I am proud to have served my country and I commend
all those who have served and are serving in any of the armed forces.
Having been deployed during Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert
Storm, Project Restore Hope and Project Comfort, I understand the loneliness
and stress that we all experience from being separated from our loved ones
and from working under strenuous conditions. But I also understand that
in order to maintain the “freedom” of the United States of America it was
necessary for me to fulfill my obligations of sea and oversea tours along
with my stateside tours. I understand that “freedom” should not be taken
for granted and must be preserved at all cost. It is with this same
commitment and pride that I commit myself in the fight for our Lipan
Apache recognition rights. Having stood guard over the safety and freedom
of the United States of America, it is now time to stand proudly with my
brother and sisters and fight for the recognition and benefits that rightfully
belong to the Lipan Apache.
