NEW ORLEANS – Louisiana Air National Guard's Master Sgt. Rasia Delin, originally from Dulac, is a member of the Houma Indian Tribe, one of the original inhabitant tribes of the area. She's also assigned to Joint Force HQ of the LAANG as a personnel craftsman. Delin appreciates Native American Heritage Month because it shows the U.S. is making in being inclusive and allowing everyone to learn about the country’s diverse cultures. She's also having the "best of both worlds by (being able to stay) in my hometown and be in the military at the same time,” said Delin. She likened her military service to her tribal heritage and noted that both felt like being a part of a family and team to her. Delin has been a standout in her career, which she proved in 2009 by being recognized as the Airman of the Year. Over 20 years of service, Delin has deployed overseas and participated in state emergency responses. Most recently, she was on the accountability team that kept track of Airman assisting with response efforts after Hurricane Ida.
