Code Talker ceremony postponed

MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2001

Due to September 11's terrorist attacks, a ceremony to present 380 Navajo Code Talkers with Congressional Silver Medals has been postponed.

The ceremony will take place November 24 at the Navajo Nation fairgrounds in Window Rock, Ariz. It follows a summer ceremony in which President Bush presented Congressional Gold Medals to the surviving members of the original 29 Code Talkers and their families.
