The VASO Seal

The Mvskoke Veterans Seal was conceived and created in May 2008 to be a symbolic crest representing the history of Mvskoke 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.

Upon visiting our location on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Tribal Complex you will see our seal imprinted on the departmental flag located in front of the building.

The separate elements that constitute the seal are displayed in various forms throughout the architecture and archives of exhibits within the corridors.
