of the Osage tribe\, has documented the role of Native American
soldiers in the war in Iraq\, following them into battle and home
again. This book is an evocative collection of rare photographs and
personal interviews that records the warrior tradition and war
experience.
Excerpted\:My name is Bill Cody Ayon. I'm Tsitsistas\, Southern Cheyenne\, a human being. I was brought up and given language\, customs\, and songs
that honor those who have given their service to America's military\,
to my tribe\, and to all indigenous people. It is with this
background I follow the military road-like my father\, my uncles\, and
my ancestors before me. To serve my family\, my tribe\, and my
country is the greatest honor of all. Tradition has mandated
this for me-from the echoes of warriors from the Little Bighorn to
Iwo Jima to the streets of Baghdad.
