Life of a Diné in the military
U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Arsonio Arthur, left, 60th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Mobility Air Forces integrated electronic systems specialist and an additional duty first sergeant, rubs corn pollen on his forehead alongside his spouse, Vanessa Arthur, 60th Inpatient Squadron psychiatric technician and early intervention substance abuse counselor, at Travis Air Force Base, California, Oct. 19, 2022. Corn symbolizes fertility for life for Navajo people. It is used not just as food but also as a blessing in ceremonies and offered in prayers. (U.S. Air Force photo by Chustine Minoda)
