Hobbs displays tribal flags in Executive Tower after removal from VA hospital [View all]
https://azmirror.com/briefs/hobbs-displays-tribal-flags-in-executive-tower-after-removal-from-va-hospital/Following the abrupt removal of the flags representing Arizona’s 22 tribal nations from the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center in central Phoenix, Gov. Katie Hobbs is displaying the flags in the Executive Tower at the State Capitol.
“Arizona is proud of the Tribal Veterans who sacrificed for their country,” Hobbs said in a press release. “We should be recognizing their service, not disrespecting their heritage.”
The flags were entrusted to Hobbs by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community after they were removed on March 18 and dropped off with the tribe by staff from the Phoenix VA Hospital.
“It’s my honor to display these flags at the Executive Tower, and I am grateful to all the Tribal leaders who have entrusted me with this responsibility,” Hobbs added in her written statement. “I will always support our Veterans, and vow to keep these flags safe until they can be returned to their rightful place at the VA hospital.”
