The Red, White and Blue

Native Americans have an enduring respect for their warriors, and Chief Charlie Reyes LittleEagle is no exception. He was taught the significance of the warrior path and how to achieve it when growing up on both the Carnegie and Cheyenne reservations. In this conversation, he talks with his friend, Chris Yarsawich, of Smyrna, Georgia, about values, tradition and service.

Today Chief LittleEagle has over 26 years of experience in Fire Service. One of his joys is helping to teach an emergency fire management program for high school students in his hometown.
