SEC. 2. EXPRESSION OF RECOGNITION.

The purposes of the medals authorized by this Act are to express
recognition by the United States and the Congress and to honor the
Native American Code Talkers who distinguished themselves in performing
highly successful communications operations of a unique type that
greatly assisted in saving countless lives and in hastening the end of
World War I and World War II.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) When the United States entered World War I, Indian
people of the United States were not accorded the status of
citizens of the United States.
(2) Without regard to this lack of citizenship, members of
Indian Tribes and nations enlisted in the Armed Forces to fight
on behalf of their native land.
(3) The first reported use of American Indian Code Talkers
was on October 17, 1918.
(4) The Choctaw Code Talkers in World War I were the first
Code Talkers that played a role in American military operations
and transmitted vital communications that helped defeat German
forces in Europe in World War I.
(5) Because the language used by the Choctaw soldiers in
the transmission of information was not based on a European
language or on a mathematical progression, the Germans were
unable to understand any of the transmissions.
(6) This was the first time in modern warfare that such
transmission of messages in a native language was used for the
purpose of confusing the enemy.
(7) On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii and Congress declared war the following day.
(8) The United States Government called upon the Comanche
Nation to support the military effort during World War II by
recruiting and enlisting Comanche men to serve in the United
States Army to develop a secret code based on the Comanche
language.
(9) During World War II, the United States employed Native
American Code Talkers who developed secret means of
communication based on Native languages and who were critical
to winning the war.
(10) The Army recruited about 50 Native Americans for such
special communication assignments and the Marines recruited
several hundred Navajos for duty in the Pacific.
(11) In 2001, Congress and President Bush honored the
Navajo Code Talkers with congressional gold medals for their
contributions to the United States Armed Forces as radio
operators during World War II.
(12) It is time for Congress to give all Native American
Code Talkers the recognition they deserve for their
contributions to United States victories in World War I and
World War II.
(13) Soldiers from the Assiniboine, Cherokee, Cheyenne,
Chippewa/Oneida, Choctaw, Comanche, Cree, Crow, Hopi, Kiowa,
Menominee, Meskwaki, Mississauga, Muscogee, Osage, Pawnee, Sac
and Fox, Seminole, and Sioux (Lakota and Dakota) Indian Tribes
and nations served as Code Talkers during World War II.
(14) To the enemy's frustration, the code developed by
these Native American Indians proved to be unbreakable and was
used extensively throughout the European theater.
(15) The heroic and dramatic contributions of the Native
American Code Talkers was instrumental in driving back Axis
forces across the Pacific during World War II.
