Comanche Nation honors Code Talkers at new museum exhibit
Posted: Friday, September 27, 2013
The Comanche Nation of Oklahoma is paying tribute to its Code Talkers with a new museum exhibit.
The Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center features photos, military uniforms and other items from the 17 tribal members who used their language to develop unbreakable codes during World War II.
“A lot of people didn’t realize our Comanches were code talkers. And you know why? They pledged secrecy,” Chairman Wallace Coffey said at a ceremony, the Associated Press reported. “Now they’re finally getting recognized.”
All of the tribe's Code Talkers have passed on, the AP said.
