WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Reps. Greg Stanton and Yassamin Ansari urged Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to reinstate the stories of two Native American service members to the Department of Defense’s website.
“We write to request the immediate reinstatement of two courageous Arizonans, Pima/Akimel O’odham Marine Pfc. Ira Hayes and Hopi Army Specialist Lori Ann Piestewa, to the Department of Defense (DOD) website,” wrote the representatives. “Other mistakenly removed references to Native American veterans and service members have been restored, but information on these two pivotal figures is still missing.”
