The Congressional Medal of Honor: A special day for Wisconsin veterans, local tribal leaders & their families
Members of the Ho Chunk, Menominee, and Oneida Nations played a vital role for the U.S. Military in World War I and World War II. Known today as “Code Talkers,” members of American Indian tribes exchanged sensitive information using their native languages to transmit secure communications that were never decoded. They helped elude our enemies trying to break United States military code and increased the speed that the military could communicate, ultimately saving lives and enabling victories for the United States and our allies.
Yesterday, tribal leaders and the families of these heroic individuals came to the Capitol to receive a Congressional Gold Medal for the remarkable service of their ancestors.
The work of these distinctive veterans during both world wars went unrecognized for decades because the program wasn’t declassified by the military until 1968.
Yesterday, Senator Reid put their service in historical perspective:
“…The government told them their language had no value. But the children held onto their languages, culture and history despite great personal risk. And in this nation’s hour of greatest need, Native American languages proved to have great value indeed.”
Yesterday’s Congressional Gold Medal honoring the Native American Code Talkers was a special day as we recognized our veterans and their special place in history.
