Brummett Echohawk was born in 1922 in Pawnee, Oklahoma, into a family with a military tradition dating back to the Indian Wars of the 1860s, when his grandfather Howard Echohawk served as a famed Pawnee scout. A celebrated illustrator and artist best known for his focus on the American Indian and the American West, he also designed the flag of the Pawnee Nation and worked on several projects, including, with Thomas Hart Benton, the mural Independence and the Opening of the West at the Truman Memorial Library in Independence, Missouri. For his service in the World War II, Echohawk earned a Combat Infantry Badge, a Bronze Star Medal, the US Army Commendation Medal, two Invasion Arrowheads, a Purple Heart with two Oak Leaf Clusters, and a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal. Mark R Ellenbarger is retired from the aviation/aerospace industry where he worked in developmental-prototype engineering. He is the founder of the Brummett Echohawk Project. Through the project, Mark works to honor the memory of our WWII veterans through a unique program where Echohawk's legacy is continued. Through this amazing project families of WWII veterans from all parts of the world have been reconnected. Mark is the great-great grandson of Lucy Wagon Sarcoxie-Patiacow, the oldest Delaware Indian on record at 107 years of age by the tribe. Mark is of Delaware/Cherokee descent. Trent Riley is a Public Historian currently serving on the staff of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. Lt. Col. Ernest Childers (US Army retired) is a World War II veteran, Medal of Honor recipient, and Muscogee (Creek) Indian.
