No judging. No barriers. Just respect.
All veterans are welcome here.

Being part of the San Carlos Apache Veterans Association means standing together, no matter your background, rank, or story. Every veteran has a place with us. There’s no judging — only support, connection, and pride in who we are as a people.

Uniforms? We know they matter. Help with uniforms can be done when supplies are available, because showing up is more important than what you wear. What matters most is that you’re here, that you belong, and that you continue to walk strong with your brothers and sisters.

This Association is about honoring service, protecting traditions, and reminding each other that we’re never alone. Veterans, you are always welcome to participate. Together, we keep our spirit alive.

Men and women of San Carlos, veterans of every generation, and the family of Hyde Phillips — stand fast and hear this command.

Today, we gather under the colors of our Nation to honor a man who carried its weight with discipline, humility, and unwavering resolve. Hyde Phillips, born February 10, 1935, San Carlos, Arizona, and entered eternal rest on July 4, 2026, Peridot, Arizona — a date befitting a warrior whose life was stitched into the fabric of American freedom.

He wore the title Korea Veteran not as decoration, but as proof. Proof that he stepped forward when others stepped back. Proof that he stood the line so future generations could walk in peace. Proof that service is not a word — it is a life lived.

His final march is carried out with precision and honor:

- Viewing: July 11, 2026, 0530 hours, Burdette Hall

- Funeral Service: July 11, 2026, 0800 hours, Burdette Hall

- Interment: San Carlos Cemetery, Mormon Hill

His ceremony is executed by the hands of his people — SCAVA, the San Carlos Apache Veteran’s Association, pallbearers and honorary pallbearers who carry his memory as they once carried their ri**es. His agenda is led by voices of prayer, song, and remembrance — from Anthony Bush, Angela Randall, Cheryl Stuart, Asst. Pastor Ernest Ailak-HHC, and Marvin Mull, Jr.

And over all of this stands the scripture he lived by:

“With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.” — Psalm 91:16

Hyde Phillips fulfilled that promise. A long life. A disciplined life. A life of service, labor, and devotion to his Nation and his people. His hands worked. His heart endured. His legacy stands.

To the family — you have carried him through his final watch with honor.

To the veterans — you salute one of your own.

To the community — you return a warrior to the earth that raised him.

As commander, I issue this final order:

Stand tall. Hold your bearing. Honor this soldier not with sorrow, but with pride. His mission is complete. His rest is earned. His memory will not fade.

Strength and honor.

Arizona H@ouse just passed my Senate Current Memorial (SCM) 1006 which honors Marine Private Michael Noline of the San Carlos Apache community near Globe. Pvt Noline was first Native American to die in the Persian Gulf war. He was deeply beloved and honored.

SCM1006 - 572R - S Ver
To the Chairperson of the State Board on Geographic and Historic Names:

Your memorialist respectfully represents:

Whereas, raised in Peridot, Arizona, Private First Class (PFC) Michael A. Noline was a proud member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe and Arizonan whose life and service left a lasting legacy in his community and state; and

Whereas, Michael A. Noline graduated from Globe High School, further rooting his legacy in the Miami-Globe area and among the people who knew and cherished him; and

Whereas, Michael served his country honorably as a Private First Class in the United States Marine Corps, demonstrating courage, commitment and sacrifice; and

Whereas, on January 26, 1991, while returning from a successful raid in the early days of Operation Desert Storm, Michael was tragically killed and is marked as the first Arizonan to die in that war; and

Whereas, PFC Michael A. Noline was truly a son of the San Carlos Apache Tribe and the Miami-Globe area, where his family resides, where he was raised and where his memory continues to inspire; and

Whereas, the Legislature recognizes the significant contributions and ultimate sacrifice of PFC Michael A. Noline and the enduring impact his legacy has had on his community, this state and this country.

Wherefore, your memorialist, the Senate of the State of Arizona, the House of Representatives concurring, prays:

1. That the State Board on Geographic and Historic Names rename the portion of United States Route 70 from the intersection of State Route 77 to United States Route 70 milepost 300 in Bylas, Arizona as the PFC Michael A. Noline Memorial Highway.

2. That the Secretary of State transmit a copy of this Memorial to the Chairperson of the State Board on Geographic and Historic Names.
