Thanks, Doug...mind boggling what the cold talkers were able to do. I will pass on the thanks to laurenmarlowe who did the research and put the thread together.

Thanks doug from upland.

I live in the Four Corners Area and my World War II Marine

uncle is active in the Marine Corps League in this area. I

have had the pleasure of meeting several Code Talkers.

Chills literally ran up my spine when I shook hands with

those special heroes and patriots.

[doug from upland]

Thanks for sharing that story.

[unkus]

You’re welcome. It is heartfelt.

“We have experienced war and peace. We know the value of freedom and Democracy that this great nation embodies. But our experience has also shown us how fragile these things can be and how we must stay ever vigilant to protect them, as code talkers, as Marines.”
Indeed...

Rest in peace Marine.

A great story. So many did so much during those times that never made it to print. At least we on occasion get some glints of the heroism and sacrifices of so many true Americans. May this Marine’s soul now rest in peace.
