We’re losing this generation at a pretty fast pace now. I saw Dick Winters died a while back.

Marine Oliver now walks with God and many other American heroes. God bless him for his service to a grateful nation.

I love driving across the Navajo reservation on hwy 160 and seeing the memorials posted along the way to these brave Americans! Proud Americans, proud to send their sons to defend this nation; young Americans proud to serve their nation in the Marines.
Oh, for the days before “hyphens!”

Prayers for his soul and for the Lord to comfort his family. I never learned about the “Code Talkers” when I was growing up. I only learned about them from a movie. Truly wonderful American heroes.

Rest in the Arms of the Lord, HERO.

Our cuontry owes you BIG thanks.

I coached chess at an Arizona high school in the 1990’s. The Tuba City, AZ teams hosted several state-wide tournaments at their schools. During one tournament a Christian prayer was given in Navajo by one of the code-talkers and translated by one of his descendants.

[Dubya]

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.


Thank you for your service Marine, Lloyd Oliver

R.I.P. hero.

To paraphrase a famous rhyme, As Lloyd Oliver stands gazing at Heaven’s many scenes, he finds the streets are guarded by United States Marines. Semper Fi, indeed.

[Zakeet]

Incredible Marines ... thanks to you all ... and God bless
