Unsung Heroes?? What an understatement. These brave men were so important to winning the war that if there was a chance of them being capture there were to be shot by their own troops.

Hail to our Heroes.

The Japanese who were assigned the job of breaking the code are still scratching their heads in frustration. RIP Mr. Brown.

I know that Hollywood put that into a movie but the Marine Corp says that it isn't true. By the way it is a good thing that these guys were Marines because the Army's use of code talkers in WWI and in WWII never got any publicity, meaning that in the Army there was no celebrity tied to knowing an Indian language, you were still just a radio man talking code.
