Clarence Wolf Guts, the last surviving Lakota code talker, was honored on Wednesday in South Dakota.
Wolf Guts, 82, served during World War II. He helped develop a code based on the Lakota language and said yesterday he would do it all over again if asked.
"As old as I am, if I had to do it again, I'd give it a good try," he said, The Rapid City Journal reported.
