The logo of the CCTA is the military patch of the 36th Division of WWI,(suggested by Lt Gen. Sisco) the division under which most of the Choctaw Code Talkers served.  The letter T represents the Texas companies which were consolidated with the Oklahoma National Guard to form the 142nd Regiment of the 36th Division which trained at Camp Bowie, Texas .  The eight arrows, symbolically electrified, to stand for the "Choctaw Telephone Squad" who used the first field phones to deliver the first Choctaw code message.  WWI relates to the war in Choctaw Code Talkers fought.  Thanks to Johnny Bobb, the artist who created the logo for the CCTA and Joe Watkins who made copies available to the Association.
