FILE - In this Aug. 27, 2008 file photo, Native American Crow historian Joe Medicine Crow tells then-presidential-candidate Barack Obama to "take veterans to the top when you move into the White House," during a visit to Billings, Mont. Medicine Crow, the last surviving war chief for Montana's Crow Tribe, died Sunday, April 3, 2016 in a Billings hospice at age 102. Medicine Crow earned the title of war chief and a Bronze Star after stealing enemy horses and other exploits as a U.S. soldier in World War II. Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.(James Woodcock/Billings Gazette via AP, File)
