U.S. Air Force Maj. Charles Jacobs, 202nd Engineering Installation Squadron commander, and Staff Sgt. Kelvin Oxendine, an airborne operations technician with the 116th Air Control Wing, Georgia Air National Guard, share their story about their Lumbee Indian heritage and their military careers, Robins Air Force Base, Ga., Nov. 26, 2014. The Airmen are members of the Lumbee Indian tribe out of Robeson County, North Carolina. The tribe has more than 55,000 members with two of the members serving together in the Georgia Air National Guard at Robins Air Force Base. Jacobs and Oxendine are descendants of Henry Berry Lowry, a young Native American Revolutionist who rose up in 1865 to fight injustice being directed against his people who are the modern day Lumbee Indians. Lowry came to be known as the Indian Robin Hood for his exploits. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Master Sgt. Roger Parsons/Released)
