Military heroes come in all races, colors and creeds.

Starting with George Washington and John Paul Jones, then continuing on with Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, George Armstrong Custer, Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Barrett Travis, Sam Houston, then on to Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Neville Brand, Ira Hayes, General George Patton, Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, Halsey, Nimitz and in more modern times Schwartzkopf and Petraeus.

I know I have left out so many but in truth all who serve in our great military deserve special recognition, honor and respect because they are the line of first defense - and sometimes offense as they are called upon to do from time to time - of our freedom loving nation. Their sacrifice and their families sacrifice is especially noteworthy and quite often underappreciated. God bless them all.

"Some four hundred Navaho Indians were code talkers"

I had no idea there were so many.

The Windtalkers saved thousands of lives during WWII.
