    This is sad news to hear since it's the 70th Anniversary of D Day
    and how much they did to help win WW2.
    Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.

    Oh the code talkers had the enemy totally FU'ed. The greatest generation is quickly disappearing. Only today in our little town, we laid to rest a bird colonel who spent 29 years in the Army...he was 93 and his career spanned from WW2 to Vietnam era.

    They saved countless lives. My Dad fought in the Pacific Theatre in WWII.

    If you ever make it to Phoenix, Arizona please check out the large statue that honors the Navajo Code Talkers on the NE corner of Thomas Road and Central Avenue.
