Mr. Nathan Phillips is affiliated with the Omaha Nation in Nebraska.Mr. Phillips served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam from 1972-76. He arrived to join the White House March from Arlington Cemetery. He had just completed a Peace Pipe ceremony and drumming to honor fallen soldiers. He visited DC from Michigan, where he and his wife are currently residing while she undergoes bone marrow treatment. There, Mr Phillips drumming other activities include participation in the grass dance. He explained that many nations believe the Grass Dance it to be the oldest form of dance in this hemisphere, used to prepare a piece of ground for other activities many years ago. Mr. Phillips presence and blessing — are emblematic of the spirit to hold sacred our regard of the Earth.
“You have to be of sober mind and sober body because you have such a responsibility,” he stressed.
Served in the corps 72-76 maybe but not in country 72-76.
I didn’t know that the Marines stayed after Saigon fell.
On the basis of this, this man is lying. If he is claiming any medals, then he’s stealing valor. That’s a serious crime.
Man is this thing unraveling quick on the left.
***Mr. Nathan Phillips is affiliated with the Omaha Nation...***
So what is got his tail in the ringer? From what I have found, the US Army never fought a war with the Omahas but protected them and some smaller tribes from their enemies the Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahos.
Is it PROVEN that he even was in the Military??
