I got to meet Mr. Oliver at the dedication of our building at work about 6 years ago. He and another code talker were invited to speak. They chanted the Pledge of Allegiance and the Marine Corps Hymn in Navajo. I stood with tears running down my cheeks, I wasn’t alone.
Very inspirational, what they did during the war and the lives they led after.
Rest in peace, Mr. Oliver.

Oh man that would be awesome!
