Veteran’s Committee Report

Kenny Brown, Chairman

Lenape Warriors and family members, greetings! As summer passes and fall approaches we look forward to some exciting celebrations. First, I want to again extend our appreciation to the Delaware War Mothers. The Veteran’s Committee has given a letter of appreciation to the War Mothers for all they do and have done for all of our Veterans. In their honor the Veteran’s Committee is going to host a cookout for our Delaware War Mothers organization on October 10, 2015 at 2:00 P.M. at the Delaware Community Center.

I want to acknowledge and thank Homer Scott, John Sumpter, Curtis Zunigha and Associate Member Kerric Franco of the Lenape Veteran’s Color Guard for representing our unit at the Stockbridge Munsee Rez. I have been told by many, our guys looked the sharpest and after seeing some pics, I agree.

As I write this Delaware Days is just a few weeks away. The Veteran’s Committee has nominated John Sumpter, Sargent, U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) for this year’s Veteran Honoree.
