If the containers are too large to fit in the drop box, please repackage them in a zip-lock plastic bag.

Veterans Royalty Veterans Royalty works with the Veterans Special Event Board (Veter- ans SEB). They attend powwows, parades, fundraisers, meetings and other events with the Veterans SEB and the Honor Guard. They interact with and represent all veterans. They also work with the Grand Ronde Royalty court during events and activities such as Restoration, parades and fundraiser. The Veterans royalty should know what a veteran is and the different military branches. When veterans royalty attend events, they are expected to stay for the entire duration of the event. This includes helping to set up events, meetings and parades and dancing during Grand Entry, inter-Tribals and staying until the flags are retired. Veterans Royalty should have their own regalia and be willing and able to dance.
