I was just in Albuquerque’s old town last week with the balloon festival (quite amazing if you haven’t been). Anyway, this gentleman who owns a big balloon and I got to talking while watching the native american drum fest. He told me there was a group of 8 or 10 code talkers who were there signing a book dedicated to their efforts. He showed me the book ($48 with proceeds to charity), and he had at least eight signatures in there from these heroes (that’s the original meaning of hero not the one bantied about these days by talking heads).
Living History.
His family must be very proud. Rest in peace.
