FOXNews.com/ AP: Last WWII Comanche Code Talker Dies

The Navajo "code talkers" in the Pacific have perhaps received more press, but the Comanches in Europe also helped us win World War II. Charles Chibitty, the last Comanche code talker, has died at age 83. Use the title link to read the Associated Press story at Fox News. Go here for a Charles Chibitty page at the Comanche Nation website.

Chibitty earned several military medals, as well as further honors from the government of France, the United States government, and the state of Oklahoma. He was also known for his Indian championship war dancing.
