“My name is Jose Garcia Acosta. I am a United States Navy Chief.
I am also Apache as my grandfather is from the Mescalero Apache tribe.
Someone said it is disgraceful for me to wear a uniform for the USA if I am Native American.
Let me tell you this. I am Apache and American. We do not come up with excuses not to serve or go to battle for our people.”
