06/28/2023 | WWI Code Talkers Honored at Choctaw Youth Day Camp
Jun 28, 1500Z-2100Z, W5D, Tuskahoma, OK. Vm Okla Nan Ola ARC. 7.217 14.317 21.317 28.317. Certificate. Jeff Sharrock, AF4CM, 12715 N 410 Road, Hulbert, OK 74441. In late June of 1917 the first U.S Divisions arrived in France to join the allied effort to (as those putting their lives on the line believed) ‘make the world safe for democracy’ and to put an end to the horrors and enduring stalemate of WWI. With this initial group of American soldiers was Choctaw native Cpl. Otis W. Leader, the first of a massive contingent of Native Americans who joined the AEF; and one of a select group who would later be called upon to use their native language as a secret weapon to safeguard communications in the front lines. On the anniversary of their arrival, this Special Event honors the WWI Code Talkers, and in particular the nineteen men from the Choctaw nation who were tasked with that mission. The event coincides with a Choctaw youth day camp for ages 11-14 years at the capitol grounds, which is also the site of the museum, housing a code talker exhibit, and monuments honoring these men. Much like an ARRL Field Day GOTA station, young people will be on the radios, getting a baptism in amateur radio, and will have a chance to learn and talk about the legacy of these heroes. We invite and encourage those who love American history or care about the future of the Amateur Radio Service to have a QSO with W5D during this single day event and help leave a lasting impression. Please look up callsign W5D on QRZ,com for information on receiving the Certificate. VmOklaNanOlaARC@gmail.com
