Code Talkers - Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma They served, they sacrificed, 19 young Choctaw soldiers were the first to use their native language to confuse the enemy, making a marked difference in the outcome of World War I.

Many have heard of the WWII Navajo Code Talkers. I was not aware that there was a group of WWI Choctaw Code Talkers. There are some good backstories in this.
