At the General Council meeting in
May, Tribal Council member Rosemary

for her son, Vincent R. lundis, who had
just returned from Afghanistan and was
on his way home to Pennsylvania.
Vincent and his buddy, Don Rahol,
were placed on the elders’ prayer list
before Christmas. As they were shipping
out, Rosemary presented them with the

flew on their bunks at Bagram Air Base,
Afghanistan.
A plaque also was presented to the
tribe, reading:
