Blessing at the Pentagon Dianne L. Ray Rolling Thunder XIII		A Native American was blessing bikers with a feather and incense in ceremonies at the Pentagon assembly area prior to the procession to The Wall. You can see the crowds of spectators beginning to gather on the overpass in the background. In the Vietnam War more than 41,500 Native Americans enlisted to serve in the United States Armed Forces. Of those 90% were volunteers, giving Native Americans the highest record of service of any ethnic group in the country.
