A Minnesota PBS Initiative
Where Our Ancestors Are Buried
Joseph Day talks about how his Navy service helped him develop discipline in all aspects of his life, and about Native American military tradition.
My father and all his brothers were all eager to go to war to protect this country. So consequently I followed that example, too.
Joseph's story was captured with the help of Ampers as part of the Minnesota Humanities Center's Veterans' Voices Initiative and was shared with permission.
