Governor Katie Hobbs was joined by tribal veterans and representatives on April 8, 2025, in Phoenix, AZ, at the 9th-floor rotunda with the 22 tribal flags removed from the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Hospital because of a new federal policy.
Here’s the official invitation:
The Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services would like to extend an invitation to Native Veterans to be in the presence of Governor Katie Hobbs on Tuesday, April 8th at 9:45am. This will take place on the 8th floor of the Arizona State Capitol Executive Tower located at 1700 West Washington Street in Phoenix. It would be an honor to have you in attendance. We greatly appreciate your support and your time.
The Governor’s Message to the Tribal Veterans
“Arizona is proud of the Tribal Veterans who sacrificed for their country. We should be recognizing their service, not disrespecting their heritage. It’s my honor to display these flags at the Executive Tower, and I am grateful to all the Tribal leaders who have entrusted me with this responsibility. I will always support our Veterans, and vow to keep these flags safe until they can be returned to their rightful place at the VA hospital.”

Navajo Veterans Organization serves the largest area in the State of Arizona. Many Navajo people travel long distances to access services and even buy food. Often it’s difficult for veterans, surviving spouses, and Gold Star families to receive assistance that is easily accessible to others. That’s where your generous donations come in. Learn more.
