Kathy Oxendine Hunt, Tribal Council Member for District 8, brought a photo of her deceased husband, J.D. Hunt, to the memorial dedication. Her husband J.D., who passed away in 2014, served in the Infantry in Vietnam from 1967 till 1969. J.D. and his two brothers served in the military at the same time. Hunt said


her husband suffered from exposure to agent orange and severe PTSD. While holding back the tears, Hunt said he carried the pain about the Veterans treatment to his grave. “He said he was never


recognized, but I said you would be recognized today,” said Hunt. “My husband always talked about when they came back into NY, he said people spit on them, and called them baby killers and he was never even recognized,” said Hunt. “It gave me a little bit of peace when Mr.


Townsend talked about even though they are gone, the scars are still here. I understand that first- hand.” Tribal Chairman John L. Lowery recognized both Terry Hunt and Larry Townsend with Eagle feathers for their service to their country, their Lumbee Tribal Nation as well as Lumbee Veterans.


The Lumbee Warriors Association also pinned and honored Tribal Chairman John L. Lowery, Director of Governmental Affairs Tammy Maynor and Tribal Administrator Ricky Harris with a Lumbee Warriors pin for their advocacy for Lumbee Veterans and for the Lumbee People.
