Choctaw Code Talkers: The role of Choctaw soldiers and their language in World War I. Tonight (8/19) at 10PM on OETA.
▼ Reshared Post From OETA ▼
Tonight at 10pm, discover the amazing true story of the CHOCTAW CODE TALKERS. In 1918, not yet citizens of the US, #Choctaw members of the American Expeditionary Forces were asked by the government to use their language as a powerful tool against the Germans in #WWI, setting a precedent for code talking as an effective military weapon and establishing them as America’s Original Code Talkers. http://visionmaker.semkhor.com/product.asp?s=visionmaker&pf_id=CCTA-10-H&dept_id=23427
