Last Comanche Code Talker Dies

Charles Chibitty, the last of World War II's Comanche code talkers, has died.

"It's strange, but growing up as a child I was forbidden to speak my native language at school. Later my country asked me to. My language helped win the war and that makes me very proud. Very proud."

John Donovan has a personal story of Charles Chibitty, and more to say that's worth reading.
