Gallup, New Mexico (AP)
Frank Tsosie Thompson, a member of a U.S. Marine unit that used a coded version of the Navajo language in World War II to keep the Japanese from listening in, died Monday. He was 87. His son Floyd Thompson, of Gallup, said he died of natural causes in Breadsprings. In 2001, Thompson was among more than 300 surviving code talkers who were awarded Congressional Silver Medals. |
