Celebration: June 28, 2009
- Chester wakes up on a Sunday. His family (son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren) help dress him in preparation for a celebration hosted by the extended family in his honor.
- Chester and the family head to Chichiltah, where the celebration will be held. Chester's is eighty-eight years old by this point. His left leg has been amputated at mid calf, because of complications from diabetes.
- There are more than 100 attendees at the event, which celebrates Chester's World War II service. Chester feels all warm and fuzzy inside, knowing that his work as a code talker has made a difference, and that his family and friends are there to celebrate with him.
