Navajo Code Talker Lloyd Oliver
FILE - In this Sept. 10, 2009 file photo, Navajo Code Talker Lloyd Oliver displays a photo of himslef in what had been his home on the Yavapai Indian reservation in Camp Verde, Ariz. Willard Varnell Oliver, a member of the Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, died Wednesday, March 16, 2011. He was 88. The death of Oliver this week means that only one member of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers survives
What an incredibly patriotic scene.
