Hi Richard Brown

So glad you found this profile on Geni!

Would you like your tree merged to this one? I can do that for you if you want, I'm sending you a collaboration request.

The code talkers projects were a labor of love to honor these great heroes based on public records. It would benefit all of us to learn more.

HELLO,
On 20 nov 13 Garfield will receive his Congressional Medal for being a Oglala Lakota Sioux Code Talker in Washington D.C. I have the honor of receiving this medal on his behalf.

Congratulations, that's very exciting news. I was just looking a little at an article about a new medal design

Thank you for accepting collaboration.

I've generated a "merge request.". Please check your "Requests" box for it

So we may complete it.

It should be a beautiful time of year to visit Washington D.C. I'm so glad for you.
