US Honoring Military Service Of 4 Maine Indians INDIAN ISLAND, Maine (AP) ― The U.S. Army has recognized the military service and sacrifice of Maine's Penobscot Indian nation. In a ceremony Thursday in Indian Island, a Department of the Army official presented a Penobscot Nation flag to the sister of Donald Chavaree, who was killed in the Philippines in February 1945 during World War II. During the "Freedom Team Salute" ceremony, the service of three Army veterans still living on the island reservation was also recognized. And the Bangor Daily News says the entire Penobscot Indian Nation was honored with a commendation for their support of Penobscot citizens who have served with the Army. The event was attended by Danny Pummill, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.
