Jamescita Peshlakai to make this proclamation possible through the Office of the President and Vice President.
The public is welcome to join in the special day, as the Navajo Hopi Honor Riders will begin with a motorcycle escort from Quality Inn to the Window Rock Veteran’s Memorial Park. The program will include the proclamation reading by the Office of the President and Vice President, memorial roll call, the laying of a wreath, special appearance by newly crowned Miss Navajo Nation Shaandiin Parrish, and concluding with a candlelight vigil.
