A 100-year-old Cherokee Nation citizen was honored Aug. 15 for serving her country during World War II as part of the groundbreaking Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.
“My great-grandmother came over on the Trail of Tears,” Winifred Dudley, of Owasso, said. “I’m just thankful to be part of the Cherokee Nation. We serve a great God. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He’s going to take care of me. I don’t care if I am 100 years old.”
The centenarian was dubbed a “Cherokee Warrior” and awarded the tribe’s Medal of Patriotism at the monthly Tribal Council meeting.
