Joe Medicine Crow was the historian of the Crow Tribe. He was also a war chief during World War II and helped U.S. Forces in their fight against the Axis powers. During that time, he wore two red stripes on each arm and an eagle feather in his helmet. As a war chief, he was required to touch an enemy without killing them, disarm them, lead a war party, and take the horse of an enemy, all of which he did. And in 2009, his achievements were awarded in the form of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
