Im a chickasaw veteran, and while not an elder, I served in war after 9/11. I did it because I wanted to be like our Vets who served in WW2. I was in the Navy FC3, TTWCS operator (Tomahawk Missiles). I loved my work. I miss it, but i dont miss the sexism that came with it. I am proud of being a Chickasaw Warrior. ❤
