KYLE, S.D. (AP) A monument honoring more than 18-hundred American Indian
military veterans will be dedicated Saturday six miles southwest of Kyle, South
Dakota at the administrative headquarters of Oglala Lakota College.
College President Thomas Shortbull says the monument will include the names
of Indians who served in both World wars, the Korean War and Vietnam.

service during wars of any racial group.
