Chief Albert Wanatah, a member of the Comanche Nation, spoke at the Wall that Heals, the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall at Marian Catholic. He was one of the few code talkers from his group to return from Vietnam alive.
Carlos Saladino, of Chicago, talks to Chief Wanatah next to The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
When the Cook County sheriff’s police arrived to break up their party, one older officer was so moved by their words and the letter they carried of President Johnson’s greetings to them that he teared up and could barely talk.
Chief Wanatah, born Albert Valdiviez, walks toward The Wall That Heals on the grounds of Marian Catholic High School before Saturday’s candlelight vigil. He was drafted but went willingly, he said, because he had been taught that the first chapter of Numbers in the Bible said God told Moses to take a census for the purpose of going to war. Wanatah also thought he was saving people from communism.
