This makes three Code Talkers we have lost in the past few weeks. There is only one surviving of the Original 29 and less than 60 total left. I have had the privilege of meeting some of them and attending their association meetings. They are truly humble and great men, a national treasure.
There is a website run by and for the Code Talkers. They are attempting to get a museum built in Tse Bonito, New Mexico, near the Navajo capital of Window Rock, Arizona. The website is very informative and I encourage anyone with an interest to stop by. There is also a link to contribute to the future museum. The website address is: www.navajocodetalkers.org
Thanks for this post, Patch! These guys are worthy of all the good things that can come their way! Lord bless!
