  All Relations United put a new roof on a trailer to be used  as a Veteran's Support trailerr on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

 We are in the process of putting on new siding and establishing a community garden and greenhouse as well . These will provide an ongoing source of healthy food year around for Veterans and their families.

Veterans  on Pine Ridge have never had a Veteran's Services Facility to provide for their needs.  A Lakota Veteran's Services officer  is available to assist veterans and is establishing her office in the new Veteran's Services Trailer.

 All Relations United Directors Lorelei Horse Stands Waiting and Bryan Brewer traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina to meet with Dega/Montagnard Veterans and the broader Dega Community.

We listened to their stories of recruitment by Special Forces who came to Dega villages in the Central Highlands of Vietnam during the Vietnam Conflict.

We discussed possible solutions and actions to assist the  Dega community both here and in the Central Highlands, including producing a documentary film.

 We brought Montagnard Veterans from  North Carolina to join us  in Mexico in support of  our Exiled Veterans. All stood together faced the U.S. and saluted while a Deported Veteran played Taps on his trumpet

All Relations United sponsored a youth event called "Together We Strive, We  Woke," on at the the Best Western Ramkota Inn in Rapid city.

All Relations United sponsored an event called, "Connecting Communities Across South Dakota" at the Ramkota Inn in Rapid  City.
