The valor and distinction with which members of the Choctaw Nation served this country in the military is a source of immense pride for us all. Now the U.S. Congress has an opportunity to officially honor the sacrifice of those whose duties included Code Talkers. We need your help to encourage support and co-sponsorship from your United States Representative.
As you may know, the Code Talkers Recognition Act (S 1035 and H.R. 4597) is currently circulating through Congress. This act formally recognizes the efforts of the WWI Choctaw volunteers who thwarted German code breakers by communicating American strategy using their native language. Choctaw and other soldiers from other tribes were used again in WWII to transmit messages in tribal words. The Code Talkers Recognition Act acknowledges their sacrifice and orders the minting of a commemorative gold medal. their service was invaluable, and the medal represents an overdue and deserved honor.
The bills currently have several co-sponsors. It is imperative that you let your member of Congress know of your support for these measures. This will create awareness on Capital Hill and will in turn give momentum to the bills passing.
Thank you for your support!!! :thumblef: :salut:
