JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas - The U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence Medical Noncommissioned Officer Academy hosted the Joint Base San Antonio National American Indian Heritage Month Observance at Blesse Auditorium. Every November, we join the Nation in recognizing and celebrating the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of people of American Indian and Alaskan Native descent. This year’s American Indian Heritage Month theme, “Affirming Native Voices: Visibility, Leadership, and Service,” spotlights outstanding service and leadership during peace and war. Command Sgt. Maj. Deanna Carlson, Medical NCOA Commandant, opened the ceremony and was followed by a reading of the City of San Antonio proclamation signed by Mayor Ron Nirenberg. Afterwards guest speaker Drill Sergeant Cherise Smallcanyon, assigned to the 232nd Medical Battalion, spoke about growing up in a small town and her experiences in the Army.
