Massing of the
Colors
The 37 Annual Massing of the
Colors and Service of Remembrance
is scheduled to be held on November
12, 2000. The event will be located
at the Oregon National Guard Kliever
Armory, 10000 NE 33"1 Drive, Port
land, Oregon, and is scheduled to
begin at 2:00 p.m.
AH are invited to attend this
memorable event. The Portland
Chapter of the Military order of the
World Wars first presented the Mass
ing of the Colors ceremony in 1964.
Since that inaugural ceremony, this
commemoration has continued to be
a prestigious memorial event honor
ing all veterans of the U.S. Armed
Forces, living and deceased, who
served in war and peace.
Persons or organizations inter
ested in participating in the ceremony
may obtain additional information
from Kathy Page, Commander of the
Portland Chapter, by telephone at
(503) 223-1890. She may also be
reached by mail at 1414 SW 3rd Av
enue, Suite 2501, Portland, Oregon

would not decide 11 mere is room tax
or not. Room tax is determined by the
local government, namely us. . .tribal
members. And we need to "bust-amove"
since our Casino won't move
up to Bear Springs.
A tribal tax generating $ 1 96,898
coupled with a Kah-Nee-Ta Room tax
generating $151,200 would alleviate
our budget by a total of $248,098. A
petition signed by the quota of tribal
members mandated, would delegate
Tribal Council to establish a referen
dum (like Madras Casino referen
dum) to vote this in. This is very pos
sible. Think on this until the petition
comes your way.

Need assistance in seeking photographs
To the editor,
I'm sending this letter to ask any
one for help in sending me pictures
of either the reservation, Kah-nee-ta,
or events that go on there. I also
would like to thank all the people that
took care of my girls while I was in
Warm Springs.
I'm doing a speech on the 27th
of this month and I need some type
of visual aid. I have found the Warm
Springs website but there are not a
lot of pictures that I can use. Most of
the pictures on there are from just of
people and not really of the land. At
first I e-mailed a couple of people
then I sailed to e-mail a lot of differ
ent people that I had found on the
Warm Springs e-mail directory. I've
e-mailed people I don't even know.
After a couple of weeks of not
really getting anything, now I'm get
ting a little worried because if I don't
have pictures that go with my speech
then my grade will drop. If I could I
would just go to Warm Springs and
take pictures myself but I can't find
the time.
Speaking of time my kids don't
have the time. How does that sound?
What I mean is that my kids are burn
ing me out watching them, because
they go to school in the morning then
they don't get home unil about 6 and
7 o'clock in the evening. So if any
one has any pictures that I could use
I will send them back. I asked the
class about my topic of the Warm
Springs Indian reservation and they
are interested because it is someplace
different then here with different
culturesl do have another favor to ask
of someone.
Here in Hoopa they have a dress
show and my girls would like to par
ticipate in this show. I want to know
if someone will make them a dress. I
will pay someone. And even my son
needs an outfit. I don't feel comfort
able publisizing my address and
phone number so if you don't have it
please get it from my mom or
dad(Hazel or Roy). Right now I'm
hardly ever home and I am a hard
person to get ahold of because I go to
school and on Saturday's I go to
Shalissa and Shantel's soccer games.
On Sunday's I go to Shantae's
cheerleading for the football players.
So please just get ahold of them.
I would like to say hi and thanks
to Jeri Smith, Squirral, my mom for
taking care of my girls while I was
gone for the weekend. I also would
like to say thanks to my dad, Jeri and
my mom for trying to bail me out.
My kids were wondering what I
did to be put in jail. I just told them I
don't know what I did. My kids think
that jail is just for criminals so they
really thought I had done something
wrong. Once in a while I hear that my
jail friends are asking about me. Be
cause of them my kids think that I had
fun in jail because I was telling my
stories to everyone when I got out.
My kids even knew that we cel
ebrated a birthday in there so I can
see where the fun part came in all of
this. Anyway, hi to them too(Sacheen,
Sally, Jennifer, Snipe, Louisa, Reanna
and Nicole).
One thing they said that I thought
was funny was they would look at me
while I was studying and start laugh
ing, because they said that I was the
only one in jail that had something to
do with my time. I just hope that next
time I come up I acually have the time
to visit. I did visit until 4am the next
morning and then slept until 11am
then left. When I returned to school
my friends said they were glad to see
me because they thought that I wasn't
coming back. I missed three days of
school. My girls friends were asking
there parents of they were coming
back.
That weekend my girls were sup
pose to be in a parade but I didn't
know about that. I gotta go now. I just
want to say thanks to Myra
Shawaway, AJ Atencio, and
Madeline Queapama-Spino for re
sponding to my e-mails. I'm sorry I
didn't get to see Boss and Eve but I
will see you when I come up next
time. I'm glad to have visited with
Ted and Mico Chase, Libby Chase,
Alice and kids, Jeri Smith, Laura
Switzler, Billy Joe and Wanda Berry,
Dionne Thomas, my mom and dad.
I'll see you all again next time I come
up.

The forgotten
medal of a
forgotten war
U.S. Veterans of the Korean
War are now able to receive and wear
a medal that was originally offered
by the Republic of Korea (ROK) in
1 95 1 , but never issued to them. At the
time the ROK proposed the decora
tion for the troops who fought in the
three-year Asian war, it was forbid
den by both the U.S. Constitution and
Army regulations, for U.S. troops to
accept foreign, service medals. The
U.S. Army, which had command of
the United Nations forces fighting in
Korea, turned down the offer. Other
countries that sent troops to the
United Nations force were not bound
by the same restrictions and received
and wore the decoration known as the
Republic of Korea War Service
Medal (ROKWSM).
All foreign awards earned by
U.S. veterans during the Korean War
had been turned over to the State
Rally set
Attention to all interested per
sons A rally is set for October 25,
2000 at the Agency Longhouse at 9
a.m. by Martinez Charles. The
Agenda includes: Jobs Training
Funding-Business Funding; Jobs at
Madras; Credit-No Credit; Outside
Audit-Where is our Money?; Inter
views with Tribal Council-Open Door
Policy; Housing Needs; Courts Need
Restructuring; and Void Neoptism.
We will be bring this to the at
tention to the U.S. Congressman at
Bend. Requesting a response in some
instance Federal intervention.

Department. In 1954, when Congress
passed legislation that permitted Ko
rean War veterans to receive and wear
foreign medals awarded for service
in Korea, most U.S. service members
eligible for the Republic of Korea
War Service Medal, had returned
home. Most U.S. veterans were un
aware that such a medal had even
been offered or that, if eligible, they
were able to receive and wear the
medal. The State Department began
distributing the decorations it was
holding, but not the ROKWSM.
Why the medal was not distrib
uted in 1954 is unclear. The medal
was mostly forgotten until in 1995,
at a ceremony dedicating the Korean
War Memorial in Washington, D.C.,
aging soldiers wore their uniforms
decorated with medals and ribbons.
And on the uniforms of the French,
Belgians, Canadians and Greeks,
American veterans noted an unfamil
iar decoration, the ROKWSM.
Veterans began searching for
information. Eventually armed with
documents from the archives and the
1954 legislation that authorized Ko
rean War veterans to wear foreign
decorations earned in the war, veter
ans asked Congress, the military and
President Clinton to officially recog
nize the Republic of Korea War Ser
vice Medal. In 1 998, the government
of the ROK renewed its original of
fer of the War Service Medal to the
U.S. military personnel. And finally
on August 20, 1999, the Defense
Department approved the acceptance
and wearing of the medal.
In the letter to Defense Secre
tary William s. Cohen dated May 13,
2000, Republic of Korea Defense
Minister Seong Tae Cho formally
announced that his government
would provide the medal to eligible
U.S. veterans of that conflict, or to
their surviving next of kin. Cho wrote,
"On the occasion of the 50 Anniver
sary of the Korean War, the Repub
lic of Korea government decided to
issue the ROKWSM to pay tribute to
the Korean War veterans for their his
toric endeavors to preserve freedom
of the ROK and the free world."
The war began on June 25,
1950, when North Korean forces in
vaded ROK and continued until the
armistice on July 27, 1 953 that ended
t
the fighting. In commemoration of the
Korean Warm both the ROK and the
U.S. government will be conducting
fiftieth anniversary ceremonies
throughout 2000-2003. The medal is
being provided at no cost to veterans.
The U.S. Air Force has been desig
nated as the lead agency to receive
and distribute the medals. Approxi
mately 1.8 million Korean War U.S;
veterans are eligible to receive the
Tt - J" hi
A
medal. The next of kin to eligible de
ceased veterans may also apply.
The ROK specifies the eligibil
ity area, period of service and crite
ria. The period of service is from June
25, 1950 to July 27, 1953. Area of
eligibility is within the territorial wa
ters, landmass, or airspace over the
Korean peninsula. Service must have
been performed while on permanent
assignment in the area of eligibility,
or while on temporary duty in the area
of eligibility for 30 consecutive days
or 60 nonconsecutive days, or while
as a crewmember of aircraft, in aerial
flight over Korea participating in ac
tual combat operations. The ROK
provided medal is approved by the
U.S. Government to meet the U.S.
criteria for wear on the military uni
form. Information on how to request
or apply for the medal can be found
by contacting the Air Force Person
nel Center, Monday through Friday,
7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (CST) at 1-800-558-1404
or by writing to HQ ARPC
