    Private Edmond A. Harjo RESEARCHED BY AMANDA KORDELISKI Hometown: Maud, Oklahoma Entered Service: May 23, 1942 Unit: 195th Field Artillery Battalion, Battery A Rank: Private, U.S. Army Award(s): Good Conduct Medal Cemetery: Seminole Nation of Oklahoma Cemetery and Veterans Memorial November 24, 1917 - March 31, 2014 Seminole, Oklahoma Profile: Private Edmond A. Harjo 1 Before the War On November 24, 1917, Edmond Andrew Harjo was born in Maud, Oklahoma, to Tony and Yanna Harjo. Known as Andrew to his family, he lived in the vicinity of his hometown for the majority of his life. He graduated from Seminole High School and together with his brother, enlisted in the U.S. Army after graduation. Edmund Andrew Harjo’s Selective Service registration card, October 1940. National Archives and Records Administration - St. Louis. Military Experience Harjo served in the 195th Field Artillery Battalion, Battery A in the European campaign of World War II. Following training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, the unit departed New York City in February 1944 for Hursley, England. After his battalion landed in Normandy on July 16, 1944, Harjo was walking through an orchard one evening and heard another soldier singing a song in the Creek language. Creek and Seminole are similar dialects of the Muscogee language and Harjo, a Seminole, recognized the song. Harjo and the other soldier began conversing in Creek, and a captain overheard them. The captain immediately capitalized on the opportunity of two American Indians both fluent in a similar dialect of Muscogee, and Harjo became a code talker, who sent military messages using his native language.
