Marcus Prater, Executive Director, AGEM
“AGEM enthusiastically joins our philanthropic partner GLI and Tribal gaming interests across the country in supporting this important new addition to the National Mall for all the world to experience when they visit Washington,” AGEM Executive Director Marcus Prater said. “All veterans who have served our country deserve proper recognition and this memorial celebrates the important role Native American veterans have played in defending our country and giving us the freedoms we enjoy today.”
Te Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) and Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) have committed US$120,000 to the National Museum of the American Indian’s new National Native American Veterans Memorial. Te donation is part of the AGEM/GLI Lasting Impact Philanthropic Initiative, through which they collaborate to create a “lasting impact” inside the gaming industry and beyond.
Te National Native American Veterans Memorial is part of the Smithsonian Museum collection. Te museum is celebrating its opening with a virtual program tomorrow, November 11, and the event can be seen at
AmericanIndian.si.edu.
Situated on the National Mall, a place that draws nearly 24 million visitors annually, the memorial will honor American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian veterans and symbolize the country’s respect for Native Americans’ service and patriotism.
“We are proud to contribute to this important, poignant, and lasting memorial that will be a permanent reminder on Te National Mall of the commitment Native American veterans, their families, and governments have made to the United States. Per capita, for decades, Native Americans have had the highest percentage of representation in the military, 1.7 per cent of total troops both enlisted and officer, even though overall they represent only 1.4 per cent of the total U.S. population, a statistic which is a source of great pride to Tribal members and Tribal
governments,” said GLI President/CEO James R. Maida. “Te National Museum of the American Indian does tremendous work bringing awareness to the non-Native community about the history and contributions of Native Americans. Tis Memorial represents yet another important contribution. GLI is honored to be a part of the National Native American Veterans Memorial representing respect and recognition to Native American veterans and their commitment to their Country.”
