Muscogee Creek Nation Veterans Association
OUR HISTORY
Furthermore, we continually build and display inside, and outside, the veterans building/museum a lasting reminder of the sacrifices and contributions of Muscogee veterans. All funding for the Muscogee (Creek) Veterans Affairs department and construction of the special building was approved in early 2006 by our Tribe’s National Council.
The construction of the building was completed in 2007, and the Veterans Affairs Services Office (VASO) was occupied on the 14th of September, 2007.
Our mission is to ensure veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families receive entitled benefits as a result of service in the military.
The VASO Seal
The Muscogee Veterans Seal was conceived and created in May 2008 to be a symbolic crest representing the history of Muscogee warriors throughout the ages. Our seal stands as a testament to our warriors who have served and continue to serve in all branches of the United States military.
Our Heroic Warriors
Ernest Childers
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty in action, Second Lieutenant Ernest Childers was awarded the Medal of Honor on 8 April 1944.
