First Lt. Jason Cabra and Tech. Sgt. Daniel Hicks, 127th Civil Engineer Squadron, Michigan Air National Guard, prepare a housing lot before pouring the concrete foundation during the Cherokee Veterans Housing Initiative in the Cherokee Nation, near Tahlequah, Okla., June 13, 2023. U.S. military construction units are working with the Cherokee Nation to build houses for veterans who are members of the tribe. The military units provide the labor to train in their military specialties and the tribe provides the materials. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Abigail Olsen)
