They had to use other Navajo words for new items that they originally had no words for in Navajo.

like for example a tank was a turtle and an aircraft carrier was a frog.

Code Talker Passes in New Mexico

RIP, Marine Patterson USMC.

May God bless your family and that they may be comforted at this time of their sorrow and that they may have peace.

In the spring I drove through Navajo country. I picked up an Indian near the end of town and gave him a lift.

When I dropped him off, I asked his name. He said his name was Harry Talker.

Wondering if some of these vets were proud of their work, changed their last name to Talker?

A true legend gone.

RIP Marine
