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.
They truly were an amazing breed of men. As Harry Truman once said, “The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know’’. When I was ten years old(45 years ago) and my friends went out riding bikes or reading comic books, I’d go to the library and sit and read all the WW2 history I could find. It just fascinated me. I knew who these men were then. Glad to finally see most of America does now.
