Pfc. Clarence Wolf Guts  86 years old from South Dakota  1924? - June 16, 2010
 
When the towers of the World Trade Center fell on Sept. 11, 2001, Clarence Wolf Guts asked his son to call the U.S. Department of Defense to see if the country needed his code talking abilities to find Osama Bin Laden. Wolf Guts was in his late 70s at the time, so his son did not make the call, but said the request personified his father's love of country. "He still wanted to help. He was trying to still be patriotic". Pfc. Wolf Guts was the last surviving Oglala Lakota code talker from WWII. You can read more about Pfc. Wolf Guts here

 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.
