The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians fought bravely in both world wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Since the First World War more than 47,000 Cherokee have served their country in times of war. Cherokee Civilians have helped as well during times of war by manufacturing war supplies and the purchase of war bonds.
