Today is Memorial Day, where we remember and honor our fallen soldiers. Do you know about the long history of Native Americans serving in the military? Take a look at the article "Reflections on Native Americans and Memorial Day" from Native News Online, written by by Levi Rickert: https://rb.gy/5n6a98 "Throughout American history, American Indians and Alaska Natives have proudly served and died for the United States of America. According to the Oxford Companion to American Military History, American Indians and Alaska Natives have the highest record of military service per capita compared to any other racial/ethnic group in the United States. Remarkably, even before American Indians became citizens of the United States in 1924, during World War I (July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918), some 12,500 American Indians served in the armed forces. They fought for freedom when they weren’t even citizens of this country. Almost two-thirds of American Indians who served did so in the infantry, where they won widespread praise for bravery and achievement. Almost 5% of American Indian combat soldiers lost their lives, compared to 1% of American forces overall."

Did you know? Jamaican soldiers played a significant role in both World War I and World War II, contributing to global efforts with bravery and dedication. During World War I, over 15,000 Jamaicans enlisted to serve in the British West Indies Regiment. Despite facing harsh conditions and racial discrimination, Jamaican soldiers fought valiantly in key battles across Europe, particularly in the trenches of France and Belgium. Their courage helped pave the way for greater recognition of Caribbean contributions to the war effort. In World War II, more than 25,000 Jamaican men and women served in various capacities, from combat roles to support and supply services. The Jamaican and Caribbean troops were part of the British Caribbean Forces, and they fought in critical theaters such as North Africa and Italy. Their involvement was instrumental in defeating the Axis powers, and their contributions were integral to the Allied victory. #JamaicanHeroes #WWI #WWII #CaribbeanLegacy #JamaicanSoldiers #JamaicaRemembranceDay #BlackHistory #JamaicaInWWI #JamaicaInWWII #CaribbeanContribution #HistoryMatters #MilitaryHistory #JamaicaPride #LegacyOfCourage #JamaicanHistory #CaribbeanWarEffort #GlobalImpact #HonoringOurHeroes
