Seneca Honor / Veteran Honor / American Honor Virtual Reward - 2017/2018 Cache
No ethnic segment of the U.S. population has a higher proportion of military service than Native Americans, and the Seneca Nation is no exception.
A U.S. Department of the Navy study estimates total participation by Native Americans since World War I tops 200,000, a count that includes over 1,000 Seneca men and women.
It is estimated some 30 Senecas have served or are serving tours of duty in the continuing U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fifteen Seneca members have earned the prestigious Purple Heart medal for their valor.
So, to honor them, and ALL service people, I thought placing this special virtual cache here at the veteran’s park. They hold a three-day Veteran’s Pow Wow every year in July, and it is an amazing spectacle to watch, as they have dancers of all ages participate and all veterans are welcomed and honored
Now, for the important stuff… the caching stuff!! To claim this cache, you will need to look for the large plaque or any plaque, once you are at the right location.
Taking a photo of your GPS, or yourself with any plaque that is here. There, done.
