Verdie Bowen Sr., director of the state of Alaska Office of Veterans Affairs, presents the Distinguished Honor Coin to Andronik P. Kashevaro for his service in the Alaska Territorial Guard during an informal ceremony at Kashevarof’s house in Anchorage, Alaska, Dec. 19. Kashevarof served in the Alaska Territorial Guard’s St. George Island unit during World War II until 1947 when the ATG was disbanded. It was not until 2000 that the ATG were officially recognized as members of the U.S. Army. Since then, the state of Alaska Office of Veterans Affairs has been working to locate approximately 6,400 people who served in the ATG in order to recognize them for their service and ensure they receive Veterans Affairs coverage offered to all veterans of the U.S. armed forces.
