Ever since Nick Cage’s movie about these guys (Windtalkers, I believe?), I had and have a whole new appreciation for the contribution they made as a group to the American fighting effort. Amazing men; God bless ‘em all.
Windtalkers was one movie I almost went and asked for my money back.
Amazing men indeed but that movie was horrid.
The first I ever heard of the Navajo Codetalkers was in 1998, when our #2 son did a report on codes for a high school class. He came downstairs from doing his research all excited, asking if I’ve ever heard of them. I hadn’t, and it was fascinating hearing him talk about them.
