| | Canku Ota - January 12, 2002 - Code Talker Waiting on Medal, Dismayed |
 | | More than 200 Code Talkers received the medal in front of 3,000 people during a Nov. 24 ceremony in Window Rock, Ariz. Tsosie's invitation was taken back just days before the ceremony, because his Code Talker service was unconfirmed, according to the Navajo Nation. |
 | | Two fellow Code Talkers, Samuel Sandoval of Shiprock, and Wilfred Billey of Farmington, heard about Tsosie's plight and said it was wrong that Tsosie has not received his medal. |
 | | Billey also produced a class picture of 60 Navajo Marines in their Code Talker class, taken before they were all shipped to the South Pacific. |
