PFC. Edmond
Harjo
96 years old from Seminole, Oklahoma
195th Field Artillery Battalion
November 24, 1917 - March 31, 2014
We've sadly lost yet another Code Talker. Edmond A. Harjo was the
last surviving Code Talker for the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. Back
in November of 2013, 33 tribes were honored in a ceremony in
Washington, D.C. with the Congressional Gold Medal for their
contribution in the war, Harjo was the only living Code Talker to
attend.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so
others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them
Hero.
