Native patriotism is alive and well on the Hopi mesas. U.S. flags honoring war veterans from all service branches were flying this past week recognizing the July 4 holiday that will be celebrated across the United States. Below, at the home of Marsa Balenquah of Bacavi Village, two flags fly every single day of the year. One is a U.S. flag and the other is the special flag denoting veterans who are "Missing in Action." Her son is a Vietnam veteran.
